Got at least 5 good ones in MK that I can drive to and one walking distance. Pukka pie always does it for me!

Theres loads of chippys round here, including one of the most famous chippys in the world! They all do huge selections from fish, puddings, chipsteaks, pizza, anything that can be battered and deep fried really . Of course with salt & sauce (free sauce at that).

Ours is run by Chinese folks, they have their takeaway connected next door.

Plenty of people in both, still looks like it's set in a 70's sitcom, though, same old food.


Now I'm hungry.

Those lovely ethnic minorities have killed the traditional local "Chippy" in our town.
Time and time again in tests, true fish and chips have proved to be lower in calories and far more healthy.
Don't believe the hype.
If you buy a fried fish, at least you know it's not full of E numbers and additives.
The original fast food take away.
But sadly not trendy.

One of the nicest things I have EVER eaten from the chippy is a battered haggis from a chippy in the centre of Perth on the 23rd December 2001 (dont ask how I remember the date - not because of the haggis!)

Even tried to recreate it myself when I got home, but was just not the same

My guilty favourite is battered sausage...pipping hot and delish...though god only knows what's in them! Same goes for 'spring rolls'....sometimes I order and they're full of shredded veg and beansprouts...sometimes an unidentifiable scalding brown mush... so we call them "mystery rolls"

My dad went to a Welsh chip shop and came out with a bizarre fried mince thing. Anyone know what I'm on about???

Wellington Cafe in Ayr.

One of Scotland and Britain's finest, with numerous awards.

And next to it is a fantastic ice-cream parlour called Renaldo's, which has at least once been voted best in Britain...

I like the thought of fish & chips, (I'm salavating at the thought of them now) but whenever I have them at home I almost always always end up not enjoying them & feel a bit disappointed.

Saying that, there's nothing better than a tray of chips from Mary Jane's in Cromer & walking along the pier with them.

Most of the local chip shops in Blackburn have been taken over and turned into either Chinese or Kebab shops.

My local one is ok, they do John Bulls, Dabs etc but all my family live in Hull and the fish & chip shops there are amazing. In fact I don't think I've ever been to a bad chippy in Yorkshire out side the cities. I like the one in Headingly also.

There's one at the end of my road, all of a hundred yards away.
It's a proper old fashioned back street chippy, where you have to shout "One haddock please" as you walk in, so the man frying the fish knows to dip one in the batter and put it in the fat for you.
All the fish are cooked to order and the chips are gorgeous. They do Holland's pies, which you'll know if you're from the North West. I'm not much of a pie fan, but I do believe that the afficionados of Holland's pies are legion. My brother lives abroad now and any time he's here for a visit , the first thing he does is run up there for a steak and kidney pud, chips and gravy!! It amuses his wife no end. As a lady who's not from these parts, she can see no merit in them at all, but she knows he loves them with the passion of a thousand suns.

It opens for dinner and tea; half eleven till three and half four till 7 and there is always a queue, because it is very good and people round here must like their chips.

That is the way it should be!! You have to do the shouting when you come in thing to know it is a proper chippy.
