Isaac Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've never been to either of them. Not sure which to go to - I'm hungry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmann Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just tried the New Chippy, a big investment in the property very smart and Modern, but, I was in there on my own, sorry to say their Chips not as good as Kirk Michaels at Corkills Lots of Fish etc already cooked but not Freshly Cooked like Kirk Michaels are They always say go to the Chippy with the biggest queue because the Chips will be Freshly cooked At least I tried it, but will be back to Kirk Michaels next week Fell free to give the new place a Try, this is just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well, I just had fish, chips and peas there. The chips are better than at Port Jack / The Terrace. They're properly cooked and crispy, not greasy - how I like them. The fish at Port Jack is better. I think you get more fish at Port Jack and I think the Fry's batter is a bit sickly. The peas were better than at Port Jack. I've not been to the Kirk Michael one so I am unable to make a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's it then. Chips from Fry's and Fish from Port Jack for me next time. I am always flabbergasted by how cheap fish and chips are across compared to here. I know all the factors, fuel etc. involved, but I think the usual uplifts here are far worse on fish and chips for some reason. Always feel like I've been mugged. The lunchtime "half price" chips at the Terrace don't help me in this regard. Even with my business head on, it just makes me feel I'm being screwed the rest of the time if they can make half price pay early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I counted at least 8 staff, most of them teenagers. Maybe it's just for the weekend they're employing a lot. Still, it's good experience, something to put on their CVs and a little spare cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I went to Diner part last week. Nice and quick services but the menu was all a bit confusing. They asked for some feedback and I was happy to put across my opinions, seems they are welcoming feedback with it being quite a new place. I thought the food was bang on, chips were fantastic and the fish (although it wasnt huge) was comparable to most of the chippy's here. I think they are going to get better as they go along. KMC is fantastic, I dont think there is much between them and fryers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zammo Maguire Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Seemed ok on my only visit so far. Chips were a bit pale and tasteless though but I'll put that down to them being extremely busy. I'll probably pay a midweek visit sometime when things are quieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immortalpuppet Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 How can a chippy menu be confusing? One example - Listing main menu items and not highlighting they already come with chips, not mentioning that at the point of sale meant the family next to me ordered 3 extra portions of chips for no reason. The young lady was happy to reimburse them which was good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sycophant Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Been twice now, not overly impressed, was ok. But for me port jack is far better, portion size and price. Heard someone say the folks at fryers used to have peel fisheries, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-T Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Port Jack is mostly rubbish (apart from their battered mushrooms) and very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
