Spotted Cow, Farnham: Pub
“Fat chips, beautifully browned outside, soft and fluffy inside!! Just like when I was a kid and getting them from the chip pan at home in Birmingham.” - Graeme
Olicana Fisheries, Ilkley, West Yorkshire: Chip Shop
“This was my regular chippy when I was growing up. Having moved away for a good number of years, I thought it was just nostalgia that made me miss it. But, on returning to Yorkshire, I rediscovered why it is still the best (better, of course, that Harry Ramsden’s down the road). The Chips are “twice fried” (in vegetable oil) so that they are perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The batter on the fish is perfectly crisp and the flesh moist inside. You’ll have to go a long way to beat these.” - Simon
Corries Cabin, Cowes, Isle of Wight: Chip Shop
“Big chips, freshly cooked. Real potato, fish in crisp batter…. blooming lovely. and homemade tartare sauce if you want it.” - Dave
