Thread Name: BS: Chip shop queues
Subject: RE: BS: Chip shop queues
When I moved to Lincolnshire, I noticed that Grantham seemed to have more fish and chip restaurants than any town I can remember, though one of them sadly shut a few months ago. Most of the chippies I've ever been to are just takeaways, but the ones in Grantham all seem to have little restaurants with formica-topped tables where you can sit and eat. A night out for all the family.

Fish in the East Midlands usually has skin on. Haddock is my favourite. And I am rather fond of a mushy pea.


What are the best chip shop names you've seen? There are always puns on "plaice", but where my partner used to live, outside Crewe, there was one called Cod's Kitchen...
