Sims chippy, they keep chips in a bath.

They won best chippy in area in 2006. Wasn't impressed myself (in 2006 that is).

Been using Peatmoor more recently, excellent fish n chips if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Just don't have a take away from Lees next door. I used to go there now and then until I saw one of the chefs manning the counter while Kobi (lovely oriental yum yum lady was not there) picking his nose while watching the TV waiting for customers. If I wanted an extra portion of stir fried snot I'd have made my own.

Peatmoor is good but also pricey.

I like the one in Peatmoor too. Is the one in York Road near the CG still there?

Nythe is fucking horrible, right over the road from me.

[ :nod:

Mr Cod does great chips, but the fish is virtually just batter (ie. shit)

I've not had Peatmoor fish and chips for ages and to be fair there is a reason for that. My missus goes there when I work away for herself and our lad for convenience but she won't buy any for me if she goes there when I'm home.

the chippy along faringdon road was nice but is shit, small portion sizes for the price they charge, ace chippy along marlow avenue in walcot, the one at cavi is nice as well :D

Yep, still there and still serving good f&c.  Never been in the one on the Magic Roundabout but there is always a crowd there when they are open.  The one down the bottom end of Ferndale Road is ok, but the one on the crossroads, North Star is absolute pants.

York rd chippy is still going strong and are the best chips in swindon i've had. Go there often even though its not on my doorstep

They do charge for Ketchup though, which should be illegal.

I always go into The Frying Fish on the MR. Top quality and value for money...and he's normally very busy.

Went in there on Good Friday, and when I left people were queing to nearly the traffic lights...and that was a non-matchday !!

Their fish and chips are always top notch, match day special of Jumbo sausage and chips £2, great value compared to food inside the ground.

york road- quality fish and chips and top owners, really friendly
frying fish- brilliant curry sauce, matchday special decent
terrys(if its still called that?), eastcott hill- rank
peatmoor- nice but more than a fiver for F&C is a no no. (also they spray the vinegar out of a cleaning style bottle  ???)
noffs- had great F&Cs in the past, went there recently and it was horrible...maybe just an off day?
gills, moonrakers- shit
superfry, town- decent food tbf, not a traditional chippy though
greenmeadow, nr sheild and dagger- not bad, quite cheap if i remember
freshbrook- nasty
cavvy- old one before they knocked it down was nice, dont rate new one....havent been there in about 3 years though
sussex square- the worst chippy ive ever been to, is it still there?



outside swindon but worth a visit if your there...... marias plaice?? or something like that in lechlade- quality



and yes i am a fat bastard :nod:

You mention Noffs, I take it that is the Grange Drive version.  When Noff was running it it was absolutely brilliant, he sold it on and it went rapidly downhill.  Noff now runs Superfry in town and is really good value, quality product, fair price.

yeah grange drive. said to my  mate must be change in owners...was totally different

Ferndale RD (Bradleys corner end) really bad just dont go there.

Fucking hell, i only go to one chip shop

Gills oppositte the Moonrakers, great chips and very clean. The only problem is it closes at 1.30 on a Saturday lunchtime...

What kind of chip shop closes at 130 on a saturday lunchtime? Do they have no business acumen?

Well I live close by and wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!!  It's car out and down to York Road for me!

I agree that Khans in Marlowe Ave is great but cavi is just awful, i would rather buy the french fries from Zeera than buy chips from there. I brought some the other week for my son and by the time i had got home( less than 1/2 a mile in the car ) the paper was nearly see through.

There's one real chippy in the whole of Bangkok, and that's hit and miss.

That's why I stopped going to York Road, they close at 2pm on a Saturday. Someone should convince the owner to stay open an extra hour on match days.

Variety is the spice of life tans.....

Went to York Road chippy before the match yesterday. Haven't been there for ages but they are still as good as they ever were. Best in town for me.

A lot of that is to do with the fact they are painfully slow at serving though, I don't go there before matches any more as it just gets ridiculous. When the Chinese lot used to run it you were in and out in minutes!

Trident Fish Bar is the dogs bollocks. Posh fish and chips.

Loads of people rave about York Rd but I don't really rate it. Stuck in the dark ages with no card machine. Normally some nice (albeit a bit young) birds working though.

Another vote for Trident. Their fish is amazing.

They had one of those in Kingston Langley.....it's now a pub!

That's a subtle way of saying, No Cunts Please. 

Flash, Hit and Miss do terrible food.  Haven't tried the fish and chips though.

I actually had a craving for fish and chips last week, so went out to eat.  Tasted good but it was poncy little parcels of fish, and a tiny metal bucket of chips.  If my stomach hadn't have shrunk so much with the heat and endless rice meals, I'd have been starving.

Not many chippies over this side of town (Redhouse) but can't fault the chippy here. Large portions, reasonable prices and good quality food.

I enjoy The Harbour in Bassett!

Is that the one on curry corner? I'll have to give it a try.

Yes.

I don't get the love for the Peatmoor chippy. Well not in the last six to eight months. I live a few hundred yards away so have been a regular since it opened.

It used to be really good but then they decided to cook the fish to order with the result that it does not have time to drain. So it's just dripping with oil and pretty horrid. Their prices have also taken a steady hike upwards. We still buy chips from there but I cook my own battered fish instead now.

Never noticed the oily batter, but the last lot of fish and chips were average.

The battered sausages the do are disgusting as the batter is very soggy not crispy, which leaves an unpleasant taste.

The chippy at Cavendish square is awful, the indian & pizza place do nicer chips. The fish & chips at Khans in Marlowe Ave are lovely.

I bought a deep fat fryer and cook my own mostly. Some awful chips sold in swindon with the good chippys in the minority

I can't even remember the last time I had a chippy tea.

Calne is totally shit for FnC IMO....ok for a pie or sausage but the fish is woeful.

Same family run all three...methinks.

I had FNC in Swindon pre match a few weeks back in that place just up from Wilkinsons and was quite impressed.

There's four chippies in town  ;)

Interestingly, I'm not.

 :nod:

Dolphin by Jenny Wren
Eddies by Portemarsh one stop
Chippy in phelps parade?

I must of missed one....tell...I will try it!

Church Street

Freshbrook chippy has just changed hands, the chips they serve nowadays are as good as I have had in Swindon. To be honest I have never had a decent piece of battered fish or sausage in this town, always soggy and unseasoned.

Chinky one?

Norton ?

Chip shop with a Chinese takeaway

Oh yeah, the battered sausages too. Avoid the pies as well, they microwave them. WTF!

Yeah the chips have got better even though it's now a kebab shop.

Frying fish?
York road?

Wrong town  :)

I think so....I live on York Road in Calne....it's nearly a year old....by bug and spider.

Agreed. I stopped going to the old one as it just got worse but since its changed hands ive been a few times and its been decent. I havent tried the fish or sausages yet though. Had a few kebabs though.

What prices are you folk paying in Swindon? The Chippys here are bloody pricey. A piece of battered cod is about £3.50 and chips are over £2.00 now if I remember correctly.

Its about the same here to be fair. Some chippys in Swindon are a bit cheaper but you'd be lucky to get fish and chips for under a fiver.

The Frying Fish on Drove Road you can get cod and chips for £4.50, and it's a nice big piece of cod.

In comparison to an Indian or Chinky I suppose it's good value.

Fryz at asda west Swindon on Friday - rubbish for the price paid!!!

Do you mean Britz, used to be Trawlerman?

They are expensive and the chip portions are pathetic.  I do like them though.

That's the one Jo! Fish was ok but portion/price of it all not the best

But do 2 boos outweight 1 yay? :D

When you put it like that...

Why is it though, I always vow not to buy there again because it's not value for money and still go back?  It's like I get a brain block each time  :)

Frying fish is easily the best most reasonably priced chippy in swindon
