Yes. Unfortunately they will have to relocate due to all the redevelopment which is going on. Jack whose family now run it after he retired a few years ago died last year. He was a smashing bloke.
Yep unfortunately he did and Pauline his wife kept it open for a while but she couldn't cope so well, When Harry became porely he had a camera instaled in his bedroom above the shop so he could check on the shop below ... It did re open briefly but wasn't a patch on Harry's ... When I lived in Cambs I used to set of to see City at least an hour earlier just to get to Harry's before the game...
Might give Harpers in Anlaby another go tomorrow, didn't seem as nice as the one in Beverley when I went before.
Frydays is a lot quieter these days. Was surprised when I popped in the other Saturday. You now have to order what you want when you go in and wait for it to be cooked. Presume it is because another chippy opened up within 100m of it. The one in Hessle near to my mothers (Gisborns I think) has gone gluten free
£6.50 each, last time up I enjoyed what I had from there and will go back. Small haddock 6.50 down here.
French's in Wells-next-the-Sea http://www.frenchs.co.uk/ Best around! However, since I put on a spread in my local this lunch-time I've come home with 4 uneaten (brilliant) fish-cakes as leftovers. Reheat tomoz with peas and make some chips. Heaven...
The perfect chip. Interesting read. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/23/britains-only-chip-critic-chip-reviewer Six of the best: a critic’s top tips for a perfect chippie 1 Customer service: look for happy, smiling,Disagree well-presented servers with good product knowledge and a willingness to cook to order. 2 Opening hours: there should be separate lunch and tea-time/evening opening hours rather than “all day” frying from 11am till midnight – and relatively restricted menu options. No Beans. FACT 3 Showmanship: seek out “chip shop gunslingers” who squirt the vinegar bottle with one hand while shaking the salt cellar with the other. A dying art. (See 5.) 4 Follow your nose: bad chippies emit a dense, stale odour that sticks to your clothing like invisible glue. The smell of a good chippie is harder to describe and is “akin to the ozone effect at the seaside”. The scent of fresh chips should stimulate your appetite. 5 Innovations: the hallmark of a dedicated chippie. Young recalls a Blackburn shop boss who developed a “hands-free” vinegar squirter from a converted showerhead and foot pump. 6 Spick and span: the shop should be as clean on the outside as the inside. When Young complained about grass growing in cracked paving, the owner insisted it was the council’s responsibility: “My mother used to scrub the doorstep and sweep the path. It’s about pride.”
Years ago (prob about 20 years) I got taken to a porto cabin chippy cafe on Albert docks somewhere, it was great but very basic
i used to think that but IMO Woods a few strides towards Hull (opposite sainsburys) wins on the chips , the haddock and especially the patties , which are perfect. Best ever chips for me are in a little place in Torquay , the have a real thin batter on them
