Whitby's - not bad but not as good as Harry's in Dunsville.

New fire station is behind the old one/Whitby's

barnby dun chippys better stopped goin to harrys

[ravenrover]

Wasn't there a Newtons on the corner of one of the streets behind Duke street? I seem to remember that there was always a queue there about 10.30 as I was heading to North Bus Station for the last bus!

[idler]

I think that it was behind Gregory's leather shop in Spring Gardens.
I always enjoyed their food.
Don't think that I ever went in after the early 70s though.
I used to regularly call in at Dorians I think that it was called next to the Saracens.
I remember us all going in there before catching the Yorkshire Traction bus down to the Torquay away game in 1966.
In those days Torquay, Swansea and Gillingham etc. coaches left Waterdale at 11:00 pm on the Friday night for the Saturday game.

Agree with that, but Harry's is top notch too.

[Norfolk N Chance]

Rothwell chippy in Town is well nice

[newyankee]

I think the people who ran the Newton's were related.  Johnny ran the Intake one, I don't think he owned both, maybe someone knows for sure ?

[Sprotyrover]

Kenny's on Doncaster road at Conisborough is the best in mo and they have a lovely resturaunt as well.

It won't half p*ss off some Free Press journo when he looks at this thread for news/ rumours on "investment" and finds that most of it is actually about which fish and chip shop is the best one in Donny!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Newton's in town was the best at the time. I thought it were rate posh when me mam used to take me for a sit down fish and chip supper. They even had proper knives and forks!!

Dorians was always good for last orders before you got on last bus. Bus used to smell of a mix of vinegar and fags. So romantic when you're getting down and dirty on the back seat after treating your bird to chips and spam fritters!!

Funny how Threads can move in different directions from the heading

But saying that This Thread seems to have stayed on Its tracks due to tje fish and chip shop debate.

What is the Worst fish and chip shop

I will hav to say joes at top shops cantley for sole reason he mainly
Cooks or frys to order as nowt is never in and ready

[StocktonRover]

Is this all some cryptic clue to Harry Ramsden being the new invester

[albie]

Newtons was always a treat after an evening game.

Back in the day Rovers used to play a lot of Friday night games, rather than the Saturday. Bus back into town from OBV, then grub before going home. Even if the footy disappointed, the chips made up for it.

It was always part of the deal for me. I doubt the Rovers bug would have bitten so deep without the snap at the end!

[tommy toes]

Me and the lad had fish and chips and a chat with JR outside that great chip shop about 5 mins walk from Drill Field, Northwich many moons ago.
Think it was the night we won 3-1. Duerden hat trick iirc.

[Sprotyrover]

scorahs on St. John's road at Balby back in the 70/80's was the best ever chippy in Donny beef dripping  used to fry up in was awesome!

[andysly]

We used to stop at chip shop opposite Bawtry Auctions back in 70's/80's, gone downhill since then.
Followed by a shandy for the lad at the Pilgrim Fathers at Scrooby.

I love the way this thread has gone btw

I was on the Tracky Bus to Torquay, Idler. Great weekend that. I remember all the Rovers fans getting off the bus when we got to Torquay seafront and everyone grabbing a 'peddle' boat without paying and peddling out to sea. A mass of floating red and white. I recall I got back home from the trip late Sunday afternoon !

[andysly]

I remember Torquay used to play at 19:30 on Saturday nights sometimes to help travelling supporters, though probably meant getting home just in time for Sunday dinner.

That was the best chippy for a hundred miles around that was Raven! No point going anywhere else.. Scraps by the bucket load too.

BobG

[graingrover]

Baxters in Dunsville ..was especially good for scraps .

[Jenny]

I always used to enjoy a Rothwells.

My favorite fish and chip shop is a close call between three, Winking Willies in Scarborough, The Daisy in Bramley (Leeds) or Seaway at Cleethorpes.

[Sammy Chung was King]

The best one used to be Newton's on the corner like mentioned,Rothwell's over the far side of the market,not the Market place one is a good one,the hot curry is really nice,for me the best one is the one in the market place just round the corner from Bon marche,reasonable prices,really good fish and chips,plus the curry is good,a lot cheaper than Rothwell's in the market place,if your further afield in the Askern area,try Sutton road fish shop near the school,cheap good quality food,if fish and chips are not your thing,the burgers they do are gorgeous and good value,the only draw back to they're fish is the batter isn't crispy,tune in next month for my article on Pizzerias

[BobG]

That chippie up a side road on the left as you're coming to the big left hand bend as your nearly leaving Bawtry isn't at all bad.

I think that we took 3 or 4 buses that night and anther 2 or 3 came for the Saturday.
I know we got to Torquay 7:30- 8:00 and left at midnight. A full day plus we got a point in a 0-0 draw against a promotion rival.

[Dn2Dn0]

Newyankee, if you're talking chippys in intake then the lonsdale, or lonny, wins hands down. Think it's gone downhill now though. Used to go in after a game at OBV. Then when I was older would get my post match refreshment at the other lonny.

[niteowler]

I will second that and they were also open when the clubs and pubs turned out , not like these days when most shut at 8.00. I have called in there many a time from the Woodfield club when it was in its hey day.

[Prez]

Love the chippy at Auckley, and also Barnby Dun, decent one at Epworth too.

[newyankee]

 I was referring to Newton's in Intake many, many, many moons ago. I think that Johnny Newton sold up over forty years ago. I am not referring to nowadays as I havn't lived in Intake for the same period.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well that's the answer. On that small plot of land between the KM and Lakeside pub, we need a bespoke chippy. It would do a bomb in that location. Any suggestions for appropriate names. Viking Fisheries?
