That's my mum and dad's favourite place too. Dad has promised us his "bohemian supper" when we visit in October. I can't wait!!!
It consists of fish, chips, mushy peas, white sliced bread and butter, and a cheap bottle of white plonk from Aldi. Wow what a meal! Plus the candle on the table-we'll be really pushing the boat out that night. (LOL, yeh right dad)
Dad has been going to crookes chippy for years and he knows the people who work in there. they always say "Usual Brian?" Like he's ordering a pint at his local. She puts a special piece in just for him. Hmmm????

one of the best chippies around,in my opinion is my local, the devonshire chippie of division st,there chips are very nice and you get big portions to,cheap aswell,and there chicken kebab butties with garlic mayo are absolutly fantastic!
beckets on manor top is very good to,though everytime i seem to go there its always very busy!

I used to go to the Harlequin next to hallam uni, it was lovely. Sadly I read that the owners have or are retiring.

Newfield Green Chippy at Gleadless is THE best by far. Cooked in dripping, they are so moorish.

Can't say owt about the breadcakes though, never had em!

Richmond Fisheries!!

End of Story!

Grenoside chippy (Main Street) is the one for me. Trouble is, its only open about 2 nights a week. Anyway, the chips n fish are delicious and excellently consistent.

Where exactly is this chippie? Is it townend? which road is it on?

For City Centre chippies, now harlequin has closed down it probably has to be Tony's chippy by Ponds Forge. For late night snacks the Devonshire Chippy isn't too bad.

I miss my trips to the village of Wainfleet, home of Batemans Brewery, near Skegness, where Sutton's fish and chip shop is. They have a coal fired fish friar, and their chips are fried in dripping. Can't beat it!

The staff are very friendly and is a traditional chippy with proper sheffield fishcakes!

It's on Gleadless Road on the Newfield Green Shops. Not Gleadless Townend.

Get to the top of Blackstock Road and you'll see the shops opposite. Opposite the blackstock pub.

And if anyone is interested, I had a bag o chips from Manor Top Chippie and they don't come close to Newfield Green Chippy chips. So there you have it, Newfield Green Chippy is THE best!

I had some chips from there once and they were prety bad. Maybe they were having an off day, I'll try them again.

Cellarboy! Come up #2 about 190 miles! Go to any 'Joey's Only' in Edmonton. Very good, but they do give a whole new meaning to 'deep-fried'!!

Best chippy- the chineese on London Road
They use proper oil unlike standard english chip shops.

The chip shop on Division Street as improved much however.

cerberus1971 · 22-09-2003, 00:19

follow up:
People have there own individual tastes so i do not think a 'best' chip shop can be pinned down.
They are in decline also.
As for tastes, some people at school were in to the Sheffield football clubs while some liked clubs from far off lands like Tottenham?
For others it was the ZX Spectrum whilst for others it was the Vic 20 or Texus Instruments, so how can tastes be pinned down?

Don't know which is the best - haven't tried them all - but the one on Herries Road, where the old Forum (no pun intended!) used to be has good fish and chips.

Sidla · 22-09-2003, 14:05

Aparantly the chip shop on London Road does good chips, but it never seems to be open.

That'll be the Norwood Fish Bar, my local so I must agree with you, ask for a haddock if you are hungry, we share 1 between three of us(and I am 15 stone). Used to go to the Fish'n'scales at lane top but they went downhill after they refurbed the shop, must be the new fryer?

fuzzy · 22-09-2003, 21:32

Now comin from Grimsby this is interesting, as in Sheffield the prefered fish is cod, but over there it is haddock. A fishcake that you get here is called a fish pattie over there, but you can also get luncheon meat fritters like you used to get at school dinners.
Crookes chippies the admiral is good but they do large chips, bolehill are lovely chips when they change to new potatoes very sweet, "nice big fiiish" as he says but the mushy peas are tastless, you have to add lots of salt to them.
Have to admit i usually use the Broomhill friery, lovely fish good chips and they do loads of other stuff (cajun chicken, lasagne, home made pies, fish pie, kebabs and more) and at a very reasonable price.
Though have to say the best fish and chips i've ever had was at the pub in Applecross in Scotland. I have never tasted fish like that, absolutly fantastic. Think Nommedenet will definately agree on this too.

Brenda's chippy, down the moor, back of Woolworths. Best fish for miles!
