| £6.90 for Cod and chips I suppose is not too bad considering prices elsewhere but they'll have to go some to beat the chippy in Edensor road.The chippy in Fauconberg road has the potential to be a gold mine, it just all depends whether they use the best ingredients and cooking oils, plus not serving up tiny portions.I was the fryer in the original fish bar in Faucongberg road in the late 70's.It had a fantastic clientèle and built up a loyal group of customers.Unfortunately, the landlady saw how well thr shopwas doing and raised the rent to Iimpossible levels and the business closed.The landlady then re-opened the shop and ran the business.She new nothing about the trade, used inferior oils and cut portions.The business folded in less than a year.She got what she deserved.Whether this new business succeeds or fails will be down to the new owners treating their customers correctly.I wish them well.BTW, a large Cod and chips in the old fish bar would have cost you 2/6-2/9d |
