Just had ours from The Frying Farmer at Aldbrough, it was ****ing chaos outside, no one knew where to stand, turned out that people waiting for their order were to stand at one side of the shop, and those that were waiting to order at the other, but there was absolutely no signage at all, just chalk lines 6’ apart on the pavement. At one point he shouted outside that if people didn’t stand 6’ apart that he’d get closed, the bloke was full on stressed but it really was his own fault as the queueing system was about as clear as mud, and there was only half a dozen customers, **** knows what it’ll be like if it gets busy!

To add insult to injury, and I dunno if Geoff Bielby still has any involvement in the place, the haddock and chips were ****ing rank, batter almost burnt on the outside yet soggy on the inside, and the chips looked as if they’d been refried from lunchtime, some where almost black, which is weird because it’s been open since 11am and I went at 4pm.

It’s a real shame as it was spot on when it first opened, better than Whiteheads at Hornsea, but the place seems to have gone right down the ****ter unfortunately. I won’t be returning any time soon!

Not really interested in any of that ****. What was the curry sauce like FFS.<doh>
 
There are lots of question over it to be fair if you don't take it home. How do you eat it without it still being in the packaging, How do you wash your hands after handling the packaging, but before you eat it.

Its possible to do it safely I guess but doubt many do.

Shame it was **** as well. Maybe the frier was feeling poorly ;)

Good points and the sum of why I decided to cook my own today.
