Doesn't even compare to the one in Woodlesford mofo. If they were both RL teams the one in Standish would be Wigoon and Woodlesford would be Leeds (except for head-to-head during the season results).

There's one in Hull near the docks that is good, shame I had to explain what a split was when I asked for split and a fish, got a very funny look for that one .... oh and the only chippy I know that sells potato pies, very odd

Voted Best Chippy in the North-West.

The now closed bears paw and huxleys were good now closed as was the chipmunk on boundary road which has slid into mediocrity.

Chippies that keep their chips soaking make soggy crap chips.

I recently found Buckys in banks near southport - no frills great fish and chips.

Crispy Cod is awful

Margs is good as in the Chipmonk.

Anyone remember when it was Alfies, now that was a proper chippy. Alf used to chop the wood with an axe behind the counter to throw in the open fire stove that fed the friers, meanwhile Annie did the serving.
If Alf's was shut there was always Keith's (now Chans) a few yards away.
Probably the 2 best chippies around at the time.
