Who does the best kebab in town?

easily... the salt and pepper crispy beef in there is a 10/10

Is there any decent ones round Birchwood/Risley or even Culcheth way? I've recently started work around there, and was seriously craving some dinnertime fish and chips the other day.

There's one smack bang in the middle of Culcheth, the roudabout in the middle look across and you'll see a few shops and a chippy there.

Mike and Martha's was shut today wasn't it?? Certainly looked it when I got out the car in the facing car park



I was heartbroken, always love a pre-match visit there!

My chip shop mission continued tonight at BIG BLUE in grappenhall.

In order to score these chippys fairly im going to be ordering the same from each one... So its steak and kidney pie, chips, gravy and mushy peas.

The chips were lovely, home made pie was decent as well... The gravy wasnt the best, the wife thinks its bisto... Mushy peas were, well mushy peas.

Over all rating 7/10

The wife had a meat and potato pie that didnt appear to have any potato in it.. She said hers was a 3/10... She wasnt amused... She still ate it all though.

Also nearly £12 for 2 pie dinners is a bit too much.. The same dish cost around £7 in dragon city.

So overall, not bad.... But not great

Had two scallops from there before my bus home on Thursday night, walked past after the game but didn't pay any attention.

How have we gotten eight pages into a thread on fish and chips without mentioning the Crispy Cod on Knowsley Road?!

& still can't beat the pies & Keighly

Sterling work Mr and Mrs Deckchair

You spoil that woman, deckchair

Eh? We have an excellent record against both.

MD could get the noble peace prize for this

It has to be said, i do push the boat out now and again.

Where's next in the Md tour of Warringtons finest fish & chip shops

venue still undecided.... its looking like either veras or the codfather.

Anyone recommend any place on the curry mile. Am working that way this week, looking for some place for lunch

Just had a poll in the office and we reckon the Mughli or Sangam (now called Lahore Karahi I think). Rusholme isn't what it was gone a bit expensive IMO

Off piste in the Northern Quarter Al Faisal, Kabana This and That and Yagdar are cafe type places reminiscent of what Rusholme was all about back in the day great for lunch.

If you can get to the centre Bollywood is my fav' on Liverpool St top end near Deansgate much better than Akbars again IMO

I understand it's about being handy due to work good luck... I wonder what I fancy for tea.....

Now then... what do we call these peculiar delicacies of batter and potato. really they are potato fritters but surely it is 'scollops' as 'scallops' are a bivalve mollusc, very nice when they are pan-fried in garlic.

Ive heard them called smacks too, imagine going in a chippy and asking for smack? (obviously exclude Merseyside)

Not used the curry mile in nearly a decade, but when I did, I used this "rule of thumb".
If I see a place that's got plenty of Asian customers in it, I'll use it.
If it's clientele is virtually all Anglo-Saxon, I'll avoid it.

Using this system, I've never been disappointed

There Scallops to me. Lovely. I always place my order for the family and ask for a few of them whilst I'm waiting! Nom nom nom

Working in Blackburn I was introduced to a John Bull. Absolutely lovely.

Working all over the Nw it's good to sample the local dishes.

How did it take three-and-a-half pages for someone t mention this place. It's gorgeous.

really?

i think we have found this Saturdays chippy.

Not one for the veggies but when I first went the TT in the early 80's, chippy in Douglas sold (and still sells!) battered slices of black pudding ....... surprising how something so simple tastes so good ......
