You might ask why I travelled 20 miles just for Fish and Chips tonight?

As it's mother's day (on Sunday) and my mum loves Fish and Chips, you have got to go somewhere decent and not the local grease bowl. I tend to take my mum somewhere every year but not on Mother's day as it's simply too crowded and booked up everywhere.

Even if it wasn't Mothers day, I still would go to this chippy as it's simply outstanding and for the simple fact that I have NEVER found a chippy in Lancashire to match the quality of Yorkshire ones.

Call it sacrilege, betrayal of your own kind (I'm an Lancastrian) but I know my own kinds limitations. Yes, these are my opinions but I'm sticking with them!

I mean this is no ordinary chip shop. You even get to sit on a bus to eat them

Complete with a plastic bus driver!

Fish and Chip shops close down, open up, rinse and repeat.. but this one has been in the same family since 1957. The fish fryer in the picture is still there doing his thing, and he really knows how to make his food tasty too.

Just look at that. I don't know what they put in this to make it taste so good. I'm guessing things that are not very good for you, but every now and then you have to eat something like this, right?!

They even refill your tea at no extra cost.

Fish and Chips is what England is famous for when it comes to food. My wife is from the Philippines but loves coming to Grandma Pollard's of Walsden, West Yorkshire.

I love Whitby! I’m huge fan of kippers and have never had any better than those smoked in Whitby. We have some great chippies around here on the east coast. Thankfully my favourite is only about a mile away and a hundred yards from the beach. We lived in Bucks before moving to Norfolk last year and the difference in quality is insane.

I have heard great things about the fish in Whitby from others too but it's a little far for me to travel to try it. You would think the west coast (Blackpool) is equally good, and it's better than my local area but still not in the league of Yorkshire.

I've added Grandma Pollard's to our to visit list :) We tend to holiday in the UK and my wife is a Yorkshire lass so we must be due a visit to the area in the not too distant future.

Kamusta ka?

Those fish and chips are my kids favorite. We can eat anywhere so long as they have them on the menu. That chippy sure looks cool, with seats inside a bus. 😊

Mabuti naman po - Sorry but my Tagalog is limited and my wife had to intervene.
Add this one to your list if you ever visit the UK!
