Person who served me-looked like jane?

Price- £3.80

Size of Fish-Decent size around 12 inch 3 inch gurth, nice and white with very nice batter and seemed clean(ish)

Chips-Nice  & chunky not too greasey and just the right amount.

Freashness-This is a busy chippy and we went at peak time with a constant flow of fish been pulled from the depth's so no waiting.

Drinks-All you could want big bottles,small bottles & cans of Benshaws d&b and cream soda

Any Quirky perks-You could order scampi,chicken nuggets & even had a nice decor of motorbike pictures(if thats your thing)

Summary

BOB ON...This chippy is only the second one we have rated but WOWZA i think it could be a contender, the decor,service and most of all the snap was unreal.With a drinks selection a conuseur of fizzy pop would be happy with as well as a decent price.The only problem we found with this was the lack of parking spaces which ment we had to park on double yellow's. This chippy tea also turned Loretta into a fish n chip monster gobbling down the lot in under five minutes flat with the manners of a cave woman.

I rate this a low 9

Size of Fish – Big(around 10 inch with a 3 inch gurth)

Chips – lovely; some big & fat others short & crispy

Freshness – very; had to wait for them to come out of the fryer(this is ok but any longer than 6mins and it looses half a mark)

Drinks – usual ben shaws selection, fruit shoots, coke etc.

Any Quirky Perks – they also do a kids meal in a box with a TOY! Just started doing cheesy chips for £1.20

Summary
Second best chippy in the area; great size portions to fill me up. Mushy peas were slightly bland which would be my only downfall so chuffed I also had gravy which was extra nice & compensated for the poor peas!! And it all went down perfectly with a cold can of dandelion & burdock J

I score this a reasonable 8(This is a high rating i may have to try this)

"Inghams Plaice"-Leeds Road, Huddersfield


Opening Times-Mon-Friday-11:00-14:00, Thursday/Friday-16:00-18:15, Saturday-11:30-13:30

Pesron who served me-Debbie

Price-£3.70

Size of fish-Small & thin

Chips-Very Greasy & soft mush(no scrppy ones)

Bits-see review( i wasn't even asked)

Freshness-Seemed quite dry at least 20 mins old.

Drinks-the usual big brands and buddies pop, no large bottle or Ben Shaws(disapointing)

Any Quirky Perks- Lots of deals on and if you have buy a fish butty you get a few chips thrown in(to hide the size of the fish)

Summary

This chippy's fish was small and thin and i think they knew this therefore gave me more chips than even an elephant could handle. Debby was plesant enough however a collegue of mine asked for bit's on her chip butty and didn't recieve them. It is very welcoming with a "hi" and a "have a nice weekend" on entrance and exit. The "plaice" even has an area where you can eat your purchase, with a parking bay  it's most definatly a passing chippy not one i would go out of my way to due to the fish size, greasy chips, no Ben Shaws & missing bits.

I score this at a low 5.
