Not from St helens or ever been a resident, but work here and spent loads of time here over the years. Been quite a few of your greasy spoons. Personally, gonna say my favourite chippy has to be 'wing wah's' on Sherdley rd, in the middle of Sherdley ind estate leading up to the roundabout. Finest Mushy peas know to man. Awesome!


Whats says you?

Crispy cod aint to bad, on knowsley road, plus margs off dunriding lane

Crispy Cod is awful

Margs is good as in the Chipmonk.

not in st helens
but the best chippy known to man is in woodlesford (outskirts of leeds)

A decent place next to Knowsley road cant remember the name though.

The Welcome on Owen street, near toll bar traffic lights. Very nice and you get plenty.

You lie. Pepper Lane, Standish.

Gaskells chippy at the Running Horses Billinge / Orrell. Just had the pudding, chips and peas.


Bootiful.

George's Plaice on Westfield Street has a good rep but I've never been so can't comment on that. The others that I've been to are fairly average. The Plaice Station at Padgate station does great fish if you're ever driving through there.

[url=http://www.seafish.org/upload/file/fish_and_chips/2008%20FC%20area%20finalists.pdfFish And Chip Shops of the year 2008 shortlist[/url. I've been to Foster's, Frydays and Harper's. None are as good as the ones in Yorkshire or Colman's of South Shields which is excellent.

I think its gone off lately. Used to be tops but now very pricy and not as plentiful.

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

Surely, you mean babbies yed!

Aye.

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.

Oyster Bar in Elephant Lane take some beating Mushy Peas are superb.

I hanvnt been near a chippy for years,but when i was a lad the bears paw did a splendid split fish 2 rounds of bread and a pot o tea,spent many a saturday afternoon with my nan in there.In fact i still go to the same building on the odd saturday night,at times i can still smell the fish

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.

Always knew it as Skidmore's - presumably his surname



As a fairly infrequent visitor these days my vote would go to the Chipmonk on Boundary Road.

I live in Standish and it is very over rated IMO

I don't reckon it is. You can't chip, babby's yed and gravy from Pepper Lane.

Chipmunk - End of thread

You sir need an education, we gona have a Charlie v jonh kinda fall out with this one.
