Back from mi' ban

;)

i started this one about the worst chippy,but at some stage i think it turns in to the best one:confused:

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11699&highlight=chippy

Best chippy I've ever been to is in Stocksbridge, Victoria road. No sign up, but the owner (who also does all the fish and chip frying and makes the batter) is called John and he's a sound bloke. They don't try to be clever by selling all sorts of rubbish. The menu reads Fish, Chips, Peas, Cake & Tray. Thats it!! Concentrating on what he's good at makes it a winner.

Ive heard a rumour that Thyme at Crosspool is opening the upstairs as an up market chippy - now there's a yummy thought!

Sadly the best fish and chip in Sheffield is actually in Morley, near Leeds, They are now accepted as being the best chippy in Yorkshire.


:(

I always enjoy the Fish and Chips at the chippy/cafe next to Ponds Forge.

Jonnymango, you are quite clearly delirious. Hing Lung's capacity for supersaturating everything with a lethal cocktail of saturated fat and msg is unsurpassed. Save Hong Kong Wok on Abbeydale Road, which is without a doubt the worst takeaway ever, in the history of all food, since time began, Hing Lung would be the place I would least likely ever go, even if I were dying of starvation.

It's quite clear that The Broomhill Friery is pretty special, and I would probably have to go for that if forced into a decision (btw, whoever it was who was bigging up Northern Sole earlier in the thread is massively, massively wrong. I recommend a brain transplant). The Admiral in Crookes does have massive fish (I always prefer places that serve haddock by default and cod only by special order), although the chips were a little dry when I went last. Harry's on Wostenholm road has lovely chips. Two Steps has changed hands a bit over the last few years, and went through a brief period of undercooking chips the summer before last. Last time I went it was yummy.
I also like that place called "The Fish and Chip" (?) off Abbeydale.

ooooooo I have THE biggest craving for Fish and Chips now!

Haven't had it for ages !!

soaked in salt and vinger mmmmmmmmmmmmmm drool drool

The best fish and chips (voted for by the people in the star or some other widely read paper) is XL fisheries in wickersley, rotherham!

"The fish and Chips" off abbeydale is good, excellent fish burgers with an amazing source,

also an old favorite of mine is The Malin Bridge Chippy, Bottom of Stannington Rd, Best fish ever, not to greasy just right, excellent for a hang over too!!!

Just gutted I dont live near there anymore!!!:rant:

Sorry about that my computer went mad!!! oops

I know some people like them, but we will have to accept that others are not suited to them. I ventured into Phoenix at woodseats on saturday and bought chips on the way home from the pub, and while very tasty eating. They laid heavily on my stomach all night and felt "soapy" in there. I didn't get a wink of sleep and continued to feel their residue the next day.

I have nothing against the shop or the staff, but I occasionally have a reallly bad supper from there. It is the most welcoming and available shop on woodseats, after the pub. I just wonder if something can be done to improve the situation.

I normally go to the chinese take away in the next block, and their stuff never causes me any problems at all. But their chips taste a bit more like oven chips. Very dry.

Best chippy during daylight hours is "Moorfoot Fisheries".

More chips than you can eat in one sitting (without practice), a breadcake and lashings of Salt and Vinegar all for £1.20.

There's nowt finer when thi stomach thinks thi throat's been cut i tell thi.

nice one in rotherham opposite the football ground. Worth a try

One day til xmas!!

hello,

I think the best fish and chips in sheffield is that new shop on abbey lane in woodseats- posiedons. good portion and tastes good!

bye:hihi:

Anyone remember the Fisherman (I think) that used to be underneath the Sheaf market - their vinegar was ace, that proper smell of mucky chippies!!

My vote (although I have been seconded to Barnsley for some time) would have to be for Today's Catch at PX/Wadsley Bridge (whichever you consider it to be). The portions are huge, it always seems busy therefore fresh and is a vast improvement from when it was the Lazy Codling (which gave me the squits on more than one occasion).

Other notables perhaps include that one near the Hen and Chickens (for not calling the feds when I was getting roughed up by a scrote at the bus stop), Devonshire Chippy (for only being fit to feed to the winged vermin on the 'Green itself), a chippy in Fitzwilliam that once included a crispy greenfly in my chips ("don't shout or everyone will want one" territory) and finally, Harry Ramsdens in MHell - why oh why oh why do people spend their hard earned cash there when the stuff of theirs in packets that you oven-to-death at home taste far superior!!

My god - I think I may be the Michael Winner of chippies!! Calm down dear - it's only a fishcake!!

It's got to be Marishells at Ecclesfield, near to the church. Whenever I go there is always a queue, pity they don't open that often though

Got to revive this thread to give 5 stars to Wendy's at Netherthorpe (used to be the Netherthorpe Plaice).

The fish and chips are worth £3 of anybody's money. I you miss the old Battered Sea Cods home in Walkley I can say this is definitely worth a five minute car drive for some quality grub

theres a chinese chippy up derbyshire lane which despite the odd opening hours and facard, does amazing chips, they use fresh oil, leaving them crispy on the edges soft and fluffy in the middle, their fish is also very good. mmmmmmmmm.
mushy peas are a bit odd tho

Broomhill Friary - every time!!

Broomhill Friery, all the way, mmmm mmmmmm! :thumbsup:

KookyKoo has said it all, Broomhill Friery wins hands down. The chippies in Crookes (IME) are abit greasy, the Friery does a mini-fish chips and peas for 1.50 cannot grumble with that...;-)

RICHMOND CHIPPY simply the best!!:thumbsup:

Admiral on Crookes is very good - massive fish.

Afraid to say, based on my one visit, I couldn't disagree with you more - it was horrid!

darnal fisheries is simply the best!!!!!!proper fish and chips;)on the corner next to lidal

the best by far is the admiral at Mosborough, tastes like fish and chips used to.

Fishcakes ain't like our Fishcakes anywhere else, anyone know otherwise ?
!
Leeds - all chippies in Pudsey (where I'm from) Leeds and Bradford and indeed most of West Yorkshire, do what you call "Sheffield fishcakes". I guess it's a West Riding thing - Leeds and Sheffield were all in the West Riding (and still are, imho).

Forgot to say, my favourites are Brenda's in town, Woodseats fisheries, and the one at Attercliffe (Robin Hoods Bay?). Not surprising as they all belong to the same family!

Funny how Sheffielders prefer cod, whereas in Leeds it's all haddock.

broomhill friery - bloody lovely:thumbsup:

I second that (or third or forth)... Broomhill Friery is great, and fantastic value... The staff are ultra friendly too....

the one at gleadless townend is great......next to Jacksons sorry dont know name

I tried it a couple of months ago, it was the worst fish I've had in years. Must have changed hands since you went !

the best by far is the admiral at Mosborough, tastes like fish and chips used to.

Try Tony's on the road behind the Admiral - its better.

best fish and chips i think are from stanny chip chop (happy garden) they are always SPOT ON!!! i like the batter to be quite thick and the chips are - ohhhhhhhh- i need some now!!! but the best bit is when the mushy peas mix it all together with the ketchup!!! ive said b4 on here they are my fave ever food!!

Yep have to agree with DR here. Reeeeeeyt nice chippy/chinese :thumbsup:

Devonshire Chippy (across from the Frog and Parrot on Division St) used to be nice, not sure now though.

There's one on Pond Street which is quite nice too.
would be nice if all the workers didnt look like something out of the twits!
two steps all the way¬ :razz:

No! I genuinely rate the chips from there. Decent cheap chinese food too.
where from ming lung???? :gag: good only because its r8 outside the lesbian and im always pished when i eat it...do have a thing for the salt and pepper tofu from there though! uuum

hello girlfriend :wave:

Nice chips they were too, even if mine did taste a bit like curry :rant:
that reminds me...i bought some chips and gravy from the moorfoot fisherie and it was absolutely mingin....the gravy was all mixed up with curry...most likely because they are birty bas***ds who dont claen out the containers....dutty :gag:

marishells in Ecclesfield, lovely fish, always a big queue.Not as nice as the old Queenies in Shiregreen, Hartley brook rd,changed hands loads of times since the early eighties, so dont know what theyre like now, but back int day...........oooooooooohhhhhhhh best chippy in England.

Broomhill Friery - not only very high quality, but reasonably priced and has friendly staff (especially Tony).

Admiral in Crookes - quality high (but not as good as Broomhill Friery), but prices a bit on the extravagant side.

robin hood something or other (maybe fisheries) in attercliffe:thumbsup:

I know it's not a chippy. But has anyone tried Mash House on Division St? Claims to do traditional English grubs. Looks well posh from outside (through the tiny entrance) and menu looks bit pricy.

haha.
i went to the devonshire chippy before and they poured GRAVY over everything instead of CURRY.
as this seems to be a recurring event, i must say that it's lowered my opinion of them!
although i guess curry sauce can look a bit similar to gravy...
maybe. :D

Two Steps on Sharrow Vale road is the best I've found, and it just happens to be sheffield's oldest chippy too.

gotta agree. very very tasty. bit pricey mind, but its worth it.

I was a young lad in Sheffield and went to Queenies as well as the shop at the top of the street off Molineaux Rd. I would love a recipe for good fish cakes as well as a pork pie if someone has one cheers up the Owls

Steve Ibbertson

Woodseats Fisheries have the BEST fish & chips, and the best value, 2.95 for fish chips and peas. I often see people in there I know, who live far away, but they tell me its worth the trip !

Best I reckon are Tony's at Mosboro' ... worse. that horrible greek sh*te from the Admiral's.

i have just come back from cornwall and went to Rick Steins resturant in padstow and to be honest having paid £8.00 for fish and chips i was expecting to be bowled over BUT they were over-rated and i would rather have fish and chips from Norwood fish Bar on Herries Road. :rant:

ive lived in sheff all my life an been to most of the chippies an know for a fact that broomheads on crookes road is the best..............

I'll second that, we go to my father in laws most saturdays for fish n chips from there. Except they're closed for 3 weeks now whilst they're on holiday *sob*

Does anyone know where I can get good fish and chips without the skin still on!? I really hate the skin!!

Hello cathypoos
Have you tried MANNNINGS at Woodhouse near the George pub.
They do lovely seaside type fish & chips and the fish has no skin on. Only big thick flakes of white fish in crispy batter with what seems like a double helping of chunky chips.
We go there from Darnall as the Darnall fisheries are awfull especially when the younger end are serving, the fish is black and the chips are greasy but when the old lady is serving thats when you get your decent fish & chips.

a salt and battered on london road do the best chips but brenda's do the best fish and brendas curry sauce is great too. my favourite is brendas and i've tried quite a few chippies in sheffield

Valley Rd Chippie Nr Meersbrook Park used to be the tops, think it is till the same owners.

Here-here mate. Been going there for 20 odd years & it is still top class. Only problem is the old dear who serves in there sometimes messes your order up.

Manor top fish shop and tony's in mosborough. Worst chip shop . Admiral!

Greenhill fish and chips are the best....second best new one thats just opened at abbey lane!

trafalgar chip shop, trafalgar road, wadsley bridge

The one on Blair Athol road off eccy road, chinese chippy

service without a smile from the miserable people of asian persuasion.

However, they do a mean pudding peas chips n gravy.

Northern boys love gravy:hihi:

My Local Chip Shop (Carnaby Road) Has Recently Changed Hands And They're As Good As I've Had In A Long Time.:thumbsup:

Great To Have Decent Chips On Your Doorstep Again.:clap:

robin hood something or other (maybe fisheries) in attercliffe:thumbsup:
Owned by the same family who own the brilliant Woodseats Fisheries and the brilliant Brenda's in town, so that explains why they're ALL GOOD!

I'm not keen on the Phoenix at woodseats. I try and avoid chippies that do kebabs too, though some are good. If the Woodseats is shut, I go to the Poseidon just at the top of Abbey Lane, which is a couple of hundred yards away past the Big Tree and Abbey pubs. I like them, because they do Haddock as their usual fish, rather than cod, as most Sheffeld chippies do. I'm from leeds see, and we prefer the haddock.

fish n chips in sheffield are rubbish, go to Grimsby!

Rather A Sweeping Statement.

But Won't They Get Cold On The Way Home?:hihi:

yes i agree but what a pair of miserable buggers we call it the dead man's chippy next time you go in have a look at his face

Try the fish & chip shop in Crookes cant remember the name but its on the left hand side of the road as if you were going towards broomhill. Chef Ainsley recommended it once and they are good.

I thought Ainsley only had love for the Broomhill Friery - are you sure you have this right?
I'm sure it's been mentioned on here but I visited the Abbey Friar in Millhouses the other Saturday. Divine!

the little one in grenoside village....superb!

:thumbsup: Hear, hear. I have never found any in Sheffield as nice as in Grimsby or Cleethorpes.

broomhill friery in suprsingly, Broomhill! The best ever....shame ive moved down to hunters bar now...probably a good thing cause there is no where as good down there so i go straight home from the pub, by passing all take aways! So my spare tyre is deflating rapidly!!!

Tony @ Broomhill friery is the man tho! Shame hes a liverpool fan!:thumbsup:

Fish and chips in Leeds are way better than any I've had in Sheffield.

Had some fantastic ones from The Jolly Frier in Ripon a couple of weeks ago too.

Darnall Fisheries on Darnall Road is great, the chips taste devine, fried in lard.mmmmm lovely to eat but by george you feel very guilty afterwards. Fish is a bit on the small side but the quality is fab!

:thumbsup: Hear, hear. I have never found any in Sheffield as nice as in Grimsby or Cleethorpes.
Or Scarborough or Bridlington - maybe it's an East Coast thing?

Theres a chippy in Mablethorpe that does yorkshire fishcakes (head to the front, turn left, turn left at the next junction, on the rhs), also the chippy in Bradwell, the corner chippy in Tideswell, Thompsons in the market square in Buxton and the one in Stoney Middleton

and the chippy/cafe in Longnor does a v nice fish, always fresh and the batter isnt overpowering, nice little cafe as well, never busy on a sat lunchtime

trafalgar chip shop, trafalgar road, wadsley bridge
The entire staff of Moonshine Depot water board used to descend on that chippy in the 80s, the roads around there were packed with YWA vans.
Its a bloody good chip-oyle.

lol my dad had a fishcake with a big black hair in from there ..... needless to say its no longer used by any of us

nothing will ever beat the now deceased harliqiun on howard street went for 17 years never had a bad chip ime so fussy i wont eat chipshop chips any more thats the legacy of the mighty harliquin rip

I like the Devonshire chippy on division street, good portions & also Mannings at Woodhouse are top notch.
I 'm just addicted to chips peas & salt & vinegar.
I'ts like smack.

Only ever been to Devonshire Chippy,that place seems to always be open! The chips from there always taste great after a long night drinking and rocking out at Corporation :D

Ive tried quite a few fishcakes and they all seem to have different ideas, but the main thing is to get decent fish in it, cod preferably, not that rubbish flaky stuff, also a decent crispy batter. I think when you find something you like you will travel to it even if its not local
I tried doing my own at home once, in the end i didnt like the look of it and went out to the local chippy!!!!!!!

Went to the Posiedon at the top of Abbey Lane next to the spar. Top class best fish and chips Ive had in years... Give it a try. B

Fish is good at the Walkley cottage on a friday tea chips passable

Used to be the harlequin but now shut :( Flying fish in shire green is good too!

Ok, hot debate time, what and where is the best chippy in Sheffield, chips have to be cooked in dripping or lard and they have to sell big white bread cakes covered in flour.

I think the best is Johns in Stocksbridge.


STANS AT INTAKE IS DEFINATELY HOTTTTTTT. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY AND STANS DO HAVE THE FLAVOUR..GET IT............

The Pheonix opposite the Big Tree best i've had in Sheffield
Woodseats fisheries (greasy smell always puts me off)
and the new one on Abbey Lane wasn't impressed one bit

Has anyone mentioned f f f fishcakes yet?

broomhill friery in suprsingly, Broomhill! The best ever....shame ive moved down to hunters bar now...probably a good thing cause there is no where as good down there so i go straight home from the pub, by passing all take aways! So my spare tyre is deflating rapidly!!!

I agree, Brommhill Friery in Broomhill got to be best - Always 10/10 Food, Service & Prices are very Cheap compared to other chip shops

Only ever had them from the Devonshire and the one near the bus station...

Devonshire wins though.

the bole hill fryery (sp?) in crookes is nice. possibly mentioned earlier though

guess what, I've just had haddock chips and peas from that very establishment about an hour ago...

I'll give them a 6 - the fish was over cooked and tough at the edges

got tons of chips though and nice mushy peas

£3.80

Abbey Friar II at Totley's not bad... I was in there tonight, Scampi, small bag of chips and a can of Shandy for 3 and half quid, decent.

Woodseats Chippy is celebrating 15 years this week - fish and chips £1.99 special celebration price and bloody yummy they are too :D

the best one ever (now sadly departed) was the battersea cod's home on howard road in walkley. it was called 'bryan' before that. it's now a chinese called wok this way. so many puns for one little shop

Ive tried several Admirals and they are all rubbish! Small portions and chips arent nice wither!

My best chippy is Woodhouse Fish and Chips shop (i think thats what its called!) Its called woodhouse something anyways! Since the old owners (they were really nice people) left for Cyprus, it went abit downhill for awhile then it got back on track. I think its changed hands a few more times...

Anyways, they're chips are lovely and fishs are big and the portions are very generous sizes.

I agree.....and the good news is....

It re-opened as Codrophenia in Walkley!!!! Ian is still there having a good chat with everyone and still making the best fish and chips. They really do taste so much better than other places, plus vege options too.

Long live Codrophenia!!!!

Fish and chips in Leeds are way better than any I've had in Sheffield.


I can believe that. The West Yorkshire way with fish and chips is to cook in beef dripping, which produces a far superior end product to any you usually find in Sheffield (or elsewhere for that matter).

When I lived around Broomhill - a good 16 years ago now, mind - Broomheads at Crookes used to use beef dripping, and their fish and chips did approach West Yorkshire standards.

The chippy on Shoreham Street is good, the jumbo fish sarnie is great.

There is one who still do this in Greenhill village, they are yummy, although I don't know the name it is on Annesley road.

Avoid the Paris Fish Bar on Hickmott Road at all costs. It's almost always empty, and for a very good reason: their food is terrible.

It would be nice to get some chips with my grease.

Around the corner is Two Steps, which can't be described as great either, but is always busy because they at least serve up something vaguely reminiscent of food.

A Salt N Battered on London Rd are ok too if you go past and they're open.

Here here :thumbsup: best F&C this side of the Pennines but I guess that and the size of her matchday custom means she only has to open on a limited hours basis

devonshire chippy used to be great years ago, then it went right down hill, tried again a few time over the last couple of month and they've got much better again - not quite up to their best of old though

the one on shoreham street opposite SUFC ground has the most gorgeous batter I've tasted in sheffield, the chips are good too

just avoid popeye's on west street no matter what :gag:

There used to be one at the bottom of Staniforth Rd Attercliffe, years ago - excellent haddock and so big it wouldn't fit on the plate. It was the best in town. Never found any that good since. Nice chips at Chip n Scales at Lane Top.

Just want to remove Two Steps from my list of fav chippies. Had the most pathetic portion of chips yesterday and the sausage tasted terrible. I've had poor food from there twice now! It's a real dissapointment.

One of their salt shakers has a crack in it as well, and I was tought to throw away anything with a crack because it's where all the germs live and you can't clean them properly.

I'm slowly travelling farther and farther to get a good chippy!

Is that chip-oyle on Margetson shops still there?
They used to make good chips.

Broomhill Chippy near the crossroads has to be in joint first place with the chippy at Main Road in Darnall.

Stan's in Intake- beautiful!

Stan's is belting!

Manor Top Chippy is great too, Barracuda is good and big serving of chips.

Went to one on Pond Street the other day and was disappointed to be honest, thought they tasted a bit bland

Is there some one near hillsborough? Thanks

new ish chippy opened a few months back at the top of abbey lane the best around,i used to go to the ones on woodseats but the new one wins hands down.

Wheatleys is a gud un. Just off City Road on the road that leads past Manor Castle:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I only like haddock. Any suggestions?? CAnt stand cod.

I only like haddock. Any suggestions?? CAnt stand cod.
Grimsby? Cleethorpes?

Best haddock on the planet.

does anyone know why alberts chippy is closed on city road ?

the little one in grenoside village....superb!

might be superb if they opened for more than half an hour a week!!

the best has to be 'shelleys' in thorpe hesley, now thorpe hesley fish bar i think. only thing that fails me is the bright blue neon lights attract about 5.2 million daddy long-legs per second and i hate them arrrrrgggghhhhh!! :rant:

definately good food though! xx

Not helping I'm afraid, but really amused by some of the names of the shop!

What is the most apt / amusing name for a fish and chip shop?

Mines The Wadsley Frier on Worralll Road......Great chips! :) :) :D

Probably Two Steps on Sharrow Vale Rd or the Abbey Friar :thumbsup:

when i was in sheff mine wouldve been
the one on devonshire street, almost opposite the frog and parrot?
and the one on the gallery looking over pond street

also used to visit the one at pitsmoor, bottom of burngreeve road, near where the parade of shops is

its got to be the one in atercliffe opposite the old lap dance club, i cant remember the name of it?

I'd go with either jimmys at Swall or Tonys at Mosboro

I have to agree with jilly69! Yummy fish and chips the staff are really nice too :)

The one is crosspool, no idea what its called, only go for the food! no time to look at what the place is called! hehe!

Never tried Tonys but have used the Admiral there - far better than ours at Frecheville, that is just plain horrible since they got all the east europeans working there (they haven't got a clue how to cook decent fish and chips).

Definitely the Broomhill friary. There's a theory that the chips there are laced with cocaine. Addictive!

It's called Robin Hood's Bay and has a restaurant in the back. Yes, it is the best fish ever served, - because the owner's family hail from Skegness and he has a fresh cod shipment straight from the docks every morning. Treat yourself to the cod dinner, fish, chips, peas, bread/butter, plus pot of tea a bargain at £4.65. Friendly staff makes this place very popular.

Mannings at Woodhouse gone down hill recently! Manor top fish bar are ok`ish due to amount of people using it! My favourite is Stans on Woodhouse Rd (IMO)

My all time favourite was the Chinese near the top of Glossop Road. It closed years ago, but they did something to the chips that made them sort of garlicky. I've never tasted it before or since.

Also as a terrified teenager just moved onto Westbourne Road for Fresher's Week, it was the source of my first dinner in Yorkshire! So I'm sentimental, but what DID they do to make them taste like that? :huh:

Do you really think I'm that stupid? (You probably do.) They didn't 'put garlic on them'. I don't know if they put garlic in the oil, but it boils so hot any garlic in there would spoil and boil away very quickly. Garlic in my home cooki8ng doesn't last long when I'm frying. Their oil was boiling all evening. have you ever actually seen how a chippy works? :rolleyes:

Yes, I've worked in one.

its opposite the robin hood pub on abbeydale road. abbey frier i think its called! not sure... yummy chips tho!. he took over from my dad at jeffs chippy on herries road.

The one at the top of Valley Road (Shef eight) just before reaching Rushdale Road did the best fish and chips, fishcakes (Two large slices of potatoe with the trimings of the fish between and then coated in batter) and the mushy peas. As many 'scraps' as you wanted in a paper bag. We do not get anything like that in Cornwall where I have been since 1970 after leaving Sheffield.

Im a big fan of the mini fish and chips you guys sell in Sheffield £1.60 for fish, chips and pea's - bargain!

Got to give another vote to Tony's at mosborough, especially bob, the guy really knows how to fry decent fish and chips.

chips and deep fried food is bad for you, in this day and age we shouldnt be eating crap like those greasy chips, there should be a goverment warning on the wapping paper of chips

Everything in moderation! :thumbsup:

Mine's either the one on Trafalgar Road by Wadsley Bridge or the one in Grenoside. Although they are so nice, WeightWatchers hoem bake chips are (surprisingly) much nicer!

yes oven chips are much nicer but its not real potatoes, but who cares its nicer and its slightly better for you

Not real potatoes? What is it - reconstituted chicken legs?

Never tried Tonys but have used the Admiral there - far better than ours at Frecheville, that is just plain horrible since they got all the east europeans working there (they haven't got a clue how to cook decent fish and chips).

Got to agree about Frecheville, go to Tony's Mosorough you won't be dissapointed, promise.

Got to give another vote to Tony's at mosborough, especially bob, the guy really knows how to fry decent fish and chips.

And again, they are great.

My favorite is 'Codrophenia' in Walkley, this is because the food is very good, and it has a seperate fryer which they use for the chips being served with their Veggie/Vegan options, such as the veggie sausage or fishless fishcakes!. If only I lived nearer I'd frequent this place far more often, it's good value as well. :thumbsup:

I'm sorry, but 9 pages of posts on chips? Small wonder why so many people are overweight.....

Castle market for me. The one next to the games stall.

My favourite is Rick Steins in Padstow.

new ish chippy opened a few months back at the top of abbey lane the best around,i used to go to the ones on woodseats but the new one wins hands down.

Chips from the new one on Abbey Lane are the best in Woodseats but the fish from Woodseats Fisheries is still the best by a long way.

I have just made the mistake of going to Phoenix on woodseats.
While the portion is large, the chips are stone cold. But being so drunk I am eating them anyway, I have covered them with brown source.

Should have nuked em in the microwave.

I had the most beautiful Chips, Fishcake and Peas from Jordenthorpe Chippie

The best of all in on Whittington Moor, Chesterfield, Down a little side street, Only opens at dinners

Fantastic
Whats the name of the road Jane i love touring Chippys better than pubs.

Codrophenia in Walkley. It used to be Battersea Cod's Home on South Road.

Friendly, a good veggie menu and just excellent chips!

Best is in Padstow cornwall...but you said sheffield :(

erm, any of the admirals are good :)

I agree, Rick Stein's on the quayside is amazing.

I second that (or third or forth)... Broomhill Friery is great, and fantastic value... The staff are ultra friendly too....

Whereabouts is it?

BEST CHIPPY HAS TO BE THE ABBEY FRIAR ON ABBEYDALE ROAD...

REMEMBER GOING THERE WHILE I WAS AT SCHOOL (ABBEYDALE GRANGE).

WHEN I FEEL LIKE FISH & CHIPS I ALWAYS DRIVE THERE 30 mins.

STILL GOING THERE OVER 20 years LATER.....THAT SAYS IT ALL

Broomhill Friery again, cod and chips are less than £3 - we drive there from Hillsborough. (FYI - is in Broomhill ;-) opposite the Northern Sole - who serve radioactively orange fish )
Used to love the Bole Hill Chip Shop but it got took over about a year ago and went downhill - and the fish from the Crookes Admiral is grim.
One on Holme Lane opposite Tramways is good, when they have cod in - bit hit and miss.
Devonshire chippy serves great chips, never tried anything else from there though.

I havent read all the posts but....

Bolehill chippie just to be y local and has remained consistantley good for a long long time.

Then my local changed to Two Steps (sharrowvale road) especially their home made pies.

Now I go to Man Fridays on Shoreham street, just behind Sheff Utd's Kop.

If you havent tried them before, just give them a shot. I'll bet you will go back again, especially the fish. Huge fish and almost completely free of bones. They also do other types of home made food and their chicken curry is fantastic, chilli is good too, including the vegi chilli. They even do scallops, how many chippies can you name that do scallops? I think its run by a greek couple and they are always friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable to good especially when you consider portion size.

Also worth a mention is the new chippie right at the end of Abbey Lane neare the spar shop, forgotten its name but they do a very tasty chicken kebab with chips.

Is the abbey fryer the one in millhouses? Thats my all time worst chip shop, every time it is horrible.

Best chippy is the one at malin bridge . Don't know the name but its owned by Janet and Jeff. Some one even takes the fishcakes home to cornwall with them when they visit thier rels.

Moon Maiden

Get round to the Supper Spot at Malin bridge at the bottom of Loxley Road! I can speak from experience, as I've tried plenty and this one is consistantly excellent. (I last had some for my tea last night!) :D :) :D
i didn't mean this chippy as i have heard some dodgey reports.

The Phoenix at Woodseats is good food but the size of the portions are massive, twice the size of portions elsewhere on Woodseats

Well you obviously haven't tried the new place on Abbey Lane "Posidon". There portions are bigger.

I had the misfortune to go to Phoenix twice in december after the pub and both times the chips were stone cold when I got them home

abbey friary (think its called) mmmm

The best chippy has still got to be Sea Fresh in Handsworth!!! They do everything and there special garlic bread is to die for!!! :D

There is a really good one on Sharrow Vale Road

called Two Steps

Garlic bread at a chippy?????????

Try Admiral on Crookes. Best fish and chips for miles around.

Brenda's or Woodseats Fisheries. Mmmmm! Fish and chips....drooolll! :thumbsup:

Any time you're heading up the A1, turn off when you get to Wetherby. Just up the hill into town from the old bridge over the river is The Wetherby Whaler. Best haddock for miles around. I challenge anyone to eat a 'Whaler' (their biggest fish) and chips. :hihi:

Reviving this thread because I'm wondering if anybody knows what will happen to Brenda's when the Moor is redeveloped? I understand the block which Brenda's is in will likely be flattened. :confused:

Taplin Chippy in Hillsborough. they are verry nice there

I thought the Magpie was in Whitby

two steps on sharrow vale road is the best.fresh fish and nice big portions of chips.

Moor Fisheries all the time! Been there for donkey years! Great Food and Great Service!

ive been allover the world and many places besides......and my vote is for tony,s at mosborough.............cake butties are second to none...........:gag: admirals were owned by a guy from bieghton and they used to be great but not no more...........,i used to deliver ready to fry chips to them so its fair to say i know my chips.......handsworth chippy is garbage.........same as city rd.................there is a little chippy at the west end of woodhouse thats good for fish ....he goes and picks his own.......yep hes number 2.................number 3 is bottom of laverack st handsworth that weren't bad .......................,other than that goto greens at whitby...........3 x chips fish n peas n teas £25..............

No - there are NO good fish and chip shops in Sheffield - we tried loads and we now travel up to junc 39 off the M1 - KINGFISHER fish and chips are the best outside Whitby. There is a take away or a sit down cafe - pots of tea/coffee & bread & Butter included - and they DO FREE FISH & CHIPS FOR KIDS under 12 in the restaurant - proper fish aswell not fish fingers!! Can't be beaten we go specially at least once a month! Just get off at Junc 39 and go towards Denby Dale for about 500yards and its on the left - takes 40 mins from centre Sheff - well worth it!!

Two Steps near the Lescar

Best chippie for miles around used to be "Queenies" at Hartley brook,Shiregreen. people used to travel miles for their Fish.
Not sure if its still there as I now live in Norfolk, where the Fishcakes are small and rissole like"yukk". :(

not no more still a chippie but gone downhill,i live on hartley brook road been hear 12 yrs
best chippie darnall fisheries:)

Manor Top is the best chippy in sheffield! Good sized portions, loads of chips, not too rich batter. But don't go expecting pies because they sell quickly!

The admiral on Frecheville Shops is ok. It use to be not very good but ok now!

Forget the rest... Broomhill Friery is by far the best I've been to. All the fish is cooked to order and staff are pretty nice too. Only problem is that it can get a bit busy.
