Any fish and chip places open East Mids?

[So]

I fancy getting out for some exercise, with fish and chips at the end of it.

Anywhere decent open for take away, Notts Leics way?

[MellowshipSlinky]

It’d be a fairly long walk...

[ziggy328]

The one in Rothley is open

[Boosted LS1]

Crikey, I'd love some of those to, yummy. Shall have to check if my local's serving again.

Aren't they all open now? Certainly round my way everything is open either for collection or delivery or both. All chippies in West Bridgford are open, Rectory Road open for collection, not checked Georges but they're generally recognised as the best two locally.

And best support them so they don't go under.

George's is open in Derbyshire, pretty much everywhere in Matlock Bath is open, even the businesses that aren't supposed to be yet. I drove through Derby on Thursday and loads of chippies I passed were open.

Have you tried every single one of the Million chippies in the UK to qualify that statement?

I drove past it at about 13:30 on Thursday and it didn’t look busy for the best in the country!

Those awards are all rigged


(I was told that a chippy. No he hadn't won an award)

To be fair, The Cods Scallops is owned by John Molnar and he generally does things well. His pubs have been good and we had him cater an event for us, which he did well.

[21st Century Man]

George's is supposed to be good, but I find their chips average at best and all too often of the compacted ball of grease, one lump or two? variety. I've actually taken to buying just my fish and peas from them, then going to the kebab joint down the road for me chips.

Guys, the rule is you don't travel to an award winning chippy.

You try the 3 or so nearest to your home, and the you go to one or two of them.

A meal being 10% better isn't worth the 'down the local' aspect.

Sidenote: My local chippy is a older lady, she asks me how the wife is every time I go in. I divorced the crazy bint a few years ago but haven't found the moment to tell the chippy lady so just nod shes fine It's awkward.

Our local chippy is horriffic. The chips taste burned yet are flacid, the fish as though it has been boiled before being wrapped in soggy batter. I would travel miles to avoid it.

There's a good one in Stamford but it is closed on Sundays.

[Bungleaio]

I travel the 40 or so miles to the Cod's scallops every few months or so, they are fantastic.

[spikeyhead]

Both the chippies in Birstall, North Leicester are open.

[MellowshipSlinky]

Birstall is a lovely place to walk around in...
