stpetre   12 #13 Posted May 11, 2017 I remember quite a few good ones from the past Clarke's on broad street Jack lomas on Main Road Darnall Jack gillivers in Mosborough Johny hills oak road Beighton Also there was a really good one On staniforth road it was run by two old ladies! Can remember the name of this one it was situated below cliffs diy  Having visited many chip shops years ago, I have to say that Lomas' was the best I had (they say it was the dripping), and I'm not even from Darnall. The best in my area was 'White House' on Andover Street, Pitsmoor.  ---------- Post added 11-05-2017 at 23:38 ----------  I remember quite a few good ones from the past Clarke's on broad street Jack lomas on Main Road Darnall Jack gillivers in Mosborough Johny hills oak road Beighton Also there was a really good one On staniforth road it was run by two old ladies!

Jim Hardie   496 #14 Posted May 12, 2017 Was Cliff's DIY near the junction with Woodbourn Road ?  No, you might be thinking of Jennings but that was more an ironmongers than a diy. George Cliffes was just before you got to the Balfour on the way to Darnall. He had another shop at Gleadless Townend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Person6 Â Â 10 #18 Posted May 12, 2017 Most recently The Harlequin on Howard Street Further back in time Tomlinsons on Prince of Wales Road and of course Jack Lomas on Main Road at Darnall, although the years of batter and fat adhering to the inside of the fryers was the stuff of nightmares, I tried not to look at it or think about it.

The word was around to make it the last call at lunch time. It was really good and he would seat me in the back with a cuppa. It was really appreciated by us all.

windswept   10 #21 Posted May 12, 2017 Memories of forty years or so ago - when they transferred the business- Vaus`s fishcakes opposite Wadsley Church, Worrall Road...unbeatable..I`ve found no other chippy in the country to compare with those fishcakes - and they were the real ones - not scallops.  Have you tried the chippy opposite Hillsbro Park,I had a couple of nice fishcakes from there, I think it's called the Jolly Rodger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
AMR67 Â Â 10 #22 Posted May 12, 2017 When I was a lad, Queenies on Hartley Brook shops was the place to go. When they started opening at tea time it was like the January sales with people queuing outside an hour before it opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
echo beach   520 #23 Posted May 12, 2017 Tony's on club garden road  If that's the one on the corner of Hobart Street then my Mum and I used to go there most Saturday lunchtimes in the '50s whilst visiting my Grandma. As a child I found them delicious; it was probably the dripping/lard they were fried in. I still enjoy them as an occasional treat but I can't say nowadays that they taste the same.  echo.
