Has just created a good conversation on Transfer Centre. He’s stated he’s glad to be back up north as the best Chippy in Britain is in Donny. Now which one does he mean?
-
Rothwells surely.
-
Auckley Friary was voted the best in Donny wasn’t it? Not saying that’s his favourite though.
Of topic, but does anyone know who he supported growing up?

When I was last living in Donny (1982ish) the chippy in Hyde Park near the Scout Shop used to be legendary.
-
His Auntie makes the best Caribbean food in Donny 👍
-
Fish bits Hyde Park Superb
-
Whitby’s easily
-

She does indeed. Best jerk chicken this side of the Atlantic in my opinion.
-
Harry's fish bar, Dunsville. Exquisite.
-
got to be Whitbys
-
Peters crispu cod further down from fish bits is way better.once saw John Ryan parked round corner eating them from there
-
Fish Bits is good, but Harry's in Dunsville is better.
Anyone who rates Whitbys wants their bumps feeling.
-
I hope he’s a bit more polite to the staff in whichever chippy he means than he was to me when I waited on him when he’d just moved to Spurs. Total kitson.

Mr Fish in Sprotbrough

That one near the Fleetwood ground tomorrow?

I live less than a mile from the Auckley Friary and tend to avoid it. If that's the best in Donny there must be some people with weird taste and deep pockets. Queen's Fish Bar at Armthorpe is my chippy of choice.
-
If Whitby's is your favourite chippy in Donny, I presume you've never been to any other one!
Auckley Friery is tops, and i am partial to my own local - Fish Dish I think it's called in Cantley - as it's always decent and pretty cheap and cheerful.
-
It will be one in armthorpe everyone who went danum had lunch time special

I used to avoid it but went again about 3 months ago as someone told me it had changed. Best fish and chips for me. Been back a few times.
-
Quayside near the market is pretty good - but Craig Avery who runs that comes from good stock - his dad, kevin, used to run Lonsdale chipshop on Sandringham road when it was the best in town by a mile!
-
Wetherby Whaler. Only 27 miles from Campsall.
You won’t get better or batter. :chair:
-
My favourite always used to be the one on Playfairs Corner in Bentley.
-
Seen him in fish bits,
Surly nothing beats Frank's in woodlands?!?
-

Normally I'd agree ive only been once and was pleasantly surprised, reasonably priced as well. Waitress was a miserable young cow though. Still blew my mind that I'd walked past it as a fire station for years and now I was eating my chippy in it

At The Whitby there is plenty of room for our circumstances of a wheel chair for my wife ....and 2 disabled toilets n the groundfloor..and ease of parking on a good tarmac surface, and they all speak to her with respect

I have to agree the Lonsdale fish and chips were f**king delightful back in the day.

You can't make it up! I've been out all evening fairly sure we've done good in the transfer window but still anxious to find out whether we've stood firm, and what is the subject of the top post... Fish n chips!
I just love how we can bring discussions to the things that really matter!
-
DBR. You can't follow football when you're bloody hungry!

DBR. You can't follow football when you're bloody hungry!
Truth.
-
What is the accompaniment of choice though.?
Regardless of which chippy, this is just as important a matter.
I don’t like mushy peas, not keen on baked beans, and as for a pickled egg you can shove that where the sun don’t shine.!
In the absence of anything else, it’s brown sauce for me when eating them at home.. otherwise I don’t mind curry sauce (not on the fish) and if it’s only chips then gravy is my choice.
Scraps or no scraps.? It’s a yes for me.!
-
If the chips are good enough - plain and simple - salt and vinegar and nowt else!
-
Fair point, especially out of the bag - but I would have to have scraps on top too..
-
Auckleyflyer......Seen him in fish bits,
Surly nothing beats Frank's in woodlands?!?
Yes, Franks at Woodlands cooked my supper for me, fish,chips and curry sauce.....lovely
-
I'll go with that - scraps on top. Out of the paper not on a tray! Yup!
-
As a verified fast food connoisseur, I can tell you that the best chip shop in Doncaster is Pisces in Rossington, mentioned by nobody above! ‘Best of the rest’ for me is a tied shoot out between fish bits and Harry’s. Great thread!
-

UMPIRE DECISION: CORRECT.
-
Living in Leeds, the Wetherby whaler is not bad but the best fish n chips by far is mr mughatroyds which is next to the airport.
Anyone who has a flight from Leeds Bradford should pop in the restaurant there for a billy murgh special
-

Going from Leeds Bradford shortly.
Bit early to be a eating Fish & Chips though at 7-30am as morning flight.
I do know the restaurant and have been in there just once to eat some years ago.
My Mother lived down the road in Bramhope from 1981 to 2014

If you are getting dropped off the double yellow lines are now double reds and a camera now means an automatic fine. Either drive into the short stay and pay the £3 or use the 30 minute free car park and walk back.
-
On midweek match evenings I go to Fish Bits for a pre-match meal (and a pint of San Miguel). I've never been disappointed yet.

Thanks Idler. We are leaving the car in the Senital car park. Only £43 for 7 days

I'll go with that - scraps on top. Out of the paper not on a tray! Yup!
What's with this "scraps" jive?
It's "batter bits".
-

Is that a "sheffieldism", like their definition of a fishcake?

Sorry BST but there’s no middle ground here. It’s scraps, end of..
-
SCRAPS !!!!
-
Definitely scraps.
Bread bun, roll, cake, teacake, etc is a good one. Personally it's a bread bun.

Too right. Bloody marvellous.
-
OK what is a Fishcake? To me as a child of the 50's its 2 slices of tater with mashed fish in the middle fried in batter not this mashed up rubbish in breadcrumbs
-

Yep, scraps is correct.
-
We were the same Raven but in Bradford they are just called cakes. Ask for a fishcake like I did when I first moved and you get one of them in breadcrumbs with the paste inside like Birdseye did.
-

My local calls that fish patty (or pate? No idea how it's spelled) and the breadcrumb one fishcake.

Is it b*llocks. It was what you called them at Sampey's chip shop at the bottom.of Clifton Street in Denaby in the 1970s.
Scraps! Where's your chuffing manhood?
-

That was a scallop in Denaby.
-
FOR GODS SAKE GET ONE OF THESE RECCOMMENDED CHIPPIES IN AT THE KEEPMOAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
As this thread has turned into a best chippy discussion has anyone ever been to the chippy in Upton village, a few miles south of east of Gainsborough. It's known for it's traditional use of beef dripping for frying and it's original coal fired fryer. It only opens Friday evenings and Saturday lunch times and whenever I pass the place at those times there's cars parked everywhere, people literally drive hours to get fish and chips from them.
Despite only living a handful of miles away and my mum being friends with a women who worked there for over 30 years I've been twice. I don't really know what all the fuss is about but I'm guessing if you're older and grew up with or can remember chips fried in beef dripping using coal you'd probably think it's amazing. Me I prefer the place round the corner from my dads we used to get them from every Friday when I was younger.
-
Scraps 100% never been called owt else! fishcakes were (paste wi green bits in, breadcrumbed. The two tatties wi fish in middle were scollops in (woodlands 80s)
-
We call em Fritters in Bentley!
-

Only because you can't spell scallop.😉
-
In Bentley, we call them Fritters. 'Scallops' sounds too much like 'b*llocks' for us posh folk in Bentley.

That was a scallop in Denaby.
It was a scallop in Bolton on Dearne back in the 60s. And, BST... it was always Scraps. F*cking 'batter bits'. Denaby scrote going faint at the mention of a scrap.
-
Sounds about reyt for a Bolton scrap. Fragile bits of fat.
And you'd have got YOUR bits battered if you'd come to Denaby and said that.
-
That's scary, as a pen picture of me, you've pretty much nailed it BST.
-
Woman at our works is from Sheffield, and she (wrongly) maintains a scallop is a fishcake and vice versa, and don't get her started on ginnel/ snicket as wrong there too. Genuinely interesting though how different things are over such a short area.
-
Us posh folk in Bentley don't say 'ginnel', because it sounds too much like 'kinnel'. We say 'back passage'.
-
Ginnel/snicket my arse.
It's an "entry".
-
Snicket is a footpath, ginnel the walkway between two houses with roof above
-
Scraps, Fritter around our parts, it’s the same argument regarding bread cakes
-

Yep, it's Tripe and Pease Pudding up there. :turd:
-
Anybody remember the mobile fish 'n chip van that used to drive round back in the day?
It used to call down our street in Wheatley Hills on a Friday evening. Like an ice cream van but for fish and chips.
As a kid, I used to look forward to it arriving outside our house, getting my fish 'n chips, then watching Budgie on the telly.
Happy days!
Looking back, it was probably a Health & Safety nightmare, driving round the streets with all that hot fat on board.
-
Never had one of them vans in Denaby but there were chippies pretty much at the end of every street.
What I DO remember was the fruit and veg "hawker" van, with a porn calendar pinned up behind the passenger seat.
Always used to volunteer to go and get the veg when he turned up...
-
One thing that's never changed is there's nowt better than the sight of a nice juicy pear.
-
Not so much as keen on the plums, though.

My Dad used to work for an Ironmongers that had a rickety ( ex wartime) delivery van that went round all the small villages . Among the may items carried were all sorts of household and garden chemicals, paraffin, LPG, and shotgun cartridges, sounds like something ISIS would think needed a risk assessment for
-

That's one helluva way of coming out BST :woot:
-
Alley
-
To be honest outside of West Yorkshire I don't rate fish and chips. and as for the fish its self, it has to be Haddock. For me one of the best around is just over the boarder, Bell Lane fisheries in Ackworth.
-
I believe Franks son is running one in South Kirkby and Frank is helping out
-
Has any one heard of the Castle Cake and which chippy it is or was from?

Michael or Paul?

Same here in mid Cornwall, Cypriot ones rule, Francies in Newquay and francines 2 in St Austell.
Fish wise: all good, the quality counts? We're lucky here as you are via grimsby that it's fresh
