Chippies
 

So I usually get mine from teh place at JBR, but went to 'The Rock'n'Sole Plaice' today.

Not only does it have the worst name ever it was utterly dreadful.

No cod. No bread rolls (despite being spitting distance from pork'n'shop). Soggy batter. Shit curry sauce.

Be warned.

I thought you were asking for a carpenter :rolleyes:

Absolutely no idea!

Re: Chippies
 

The JBR one is the only decent one I have been to....

Re: Chippies
 

Have you tried The British Kitchen on Beach road yet? We keep meaning to but haven't got around to it yet.

Re: Chippies
 

Nah, it's owned by a mackem.

Re: Chippies
 

I know that feeling. I give the Magpie in Whitby a wide berth because of who runs it (clue in the name)...and the queues and the prices, to be fair.

Re: Chippies
 

it's rubbish...and you always have to wait for hours to get the food...we've given up...

there was a great chippie over the road from me, but it closed down...lucky really i suppose...

MM, xx

Re: Chippies
 

The only good one was the one on SZR near the Shangri La. Not found a good one since TF. Used to spend to much time in their in the summers when I was a Wanker ( wife away no kids eat rubbish)

Re: Chippies
 

we complained the last time we were there, then they updated their FB page and I had a go at them there as well. Typical case of thinking they can let Asians run it and it be a success. Wrong.

Re: Chippies
 

I took the missus there and we loved it, my gran is from Scarborough and I spent many a happy time at Whitby, love the place.

Also took her to the Dracula museum and she asked if Dracula was real. I kid you not.

Re: Chippies
 

Next to Johnny Rockets (which is utter pigfood) there's a thai place, that now doubles up as a chip shop - but they only do hammour.

RUBBISH.

Re: Chippies
 

Yep, no cod so I asked if he had anything similar 'we do but it's very thin fish'. So that's NOT similar then.

I asked if it was owned by an English man and he said yes, then gave me his business card and he was called Mohammed shoobadedy Dooobadedy or suchlike.

Useless.

Re: Chippies
 

To be fair the only time the one at JBR does good food is when the Scottish lad is there.

Re: Chippies
 

well Mohammed was in the top ten of boys names in the UK recently :)

Re: Chippies
 

Seriously- she asked if Dracula was real- oh I love it!

Why is there a Dracula museum in Scarborough- its not like he was from Scarborough is it? lol

Re: Chippies
 

It's in Whitby. He was from Whitby and loved fish and chips. With loads of ketchup. Something like that.

Re: Chippies
 

They guy was saying 'over there is the 350 steps that Dracula ran up when he jumped out of his coffin' and then she said 'what? he's real??!'

Well yeah, I think in the story that's where he came by boat.

Serious, ask her about the museum with real life Draculas screaming at us, she was terrified and had to run out of the fire escape!

Re: Chippies
 

The only reason he stopped biting people was because he got loads of batter stuck on his fangs.

Re: Chippies
 

So how come dracula didn't have a Yorkshire accent?

I thought he was from Transylvania? :confused:

Re: Chippies
 

He moved there when Mr & Mrs Dracula got divorced..

Re: Chippies
 

He was shipwrecked in Whitby on the way over from Transgenger and once slain was buried there in the Church at the top of the 199 steps. Supposedly there was a Count Dracula (apparently not a vamp) who was buried there.

Didnt know the chippy (the one that won all the awards) was owned by a skunk, I shall not enter again.

Re: Chippies
 

Christ how many filthy mackems have we got on here now??

Re: Chippies
 

:rofl:

Re: Chippies
 

He could be a smoggy, like me.

Re: Chippies
 

That's worse , you're further down the pecking order than a Monkey Hanger...

Re: Chippies
 

whats a smoggy?

Re: Chippies
 

Went to the British Kitchen last weekend with the missus. Gotta say that it was pretty good - at least up to the standard of the Fish & Chip room (JBR) on a good day.

On another note, people keep telling me that there is a new Donor Kebab shop opened on Beach Road but buggered if I can find it!!! Still have to traipse up to Discovery Gardens for the ultimate hangover food.

Re: Chippies
 

Well, aye. Small Town in Yorkshire and all that. At least we know and accept our place, unlike the barcodes who think their main rivals are Real Madrid and Man U.

Re: Chippies
 

Someone from Middlesbrough or who supports the Boro. It's an industrial town...well, used to be... hence the smog reference.

Re: Chippies
 

I know the Donner place you mean, but I'm not sure if it's open yet. It's further down, close to Citibank I think (past Umm al Sheif Road).

Re: Chippies
 

Tariq, is his name.. His dad used to own the chippie, along with the noodle place and rupee room. He sold up to someone and buggered off to Florida. Tariq tried to stay on but the new guy won't pay much more than subsistence money to his staff. As a result, the place has gone seriously downhill since...

Re: Chippies
 

My Smoggy mate was over from Bahrain this weekend, we had a right canny old time.

Didn't talk about footy too much mind, they have dropped like a bloody stone.

Re: Chippies
 

That's never been the case, and you know it.

Re: Chippies
 

;)

That's 2 people I've annoyed on here today.

Re: Chippies
 

Aye sounds like Dubai - tell you what, if you could open a proper chippy, that did pork battered sausages, decent cod in well done batter you'd clean up.

Re: Chippies
 

STOP RIGHT THERE. having been subjected to a week of Korean "food", I am now dribbling on my desk.

Re: Chippies
 

Proper Cod and chips with real mushy peas and all cooked in Beef Dripping...not good for the heart but good for the soul...!

Re: Chippies
 

Amen brother, amen. I'll be back home in August and straight down to Tynemouth for the best fish and chips in the world.

Re: Chippies
 

Yuck@ mushy peas!

Re: Chippies
 

The best fish and chips Ive had was in Brighton- drool!
