For those who live in Blackpool, when you think of where to go for a good old traditional British takeout and you want the best, a few places might spring to mind. Award winners such as Harry Ramsden's, The Cottage or even your own local down the end of the street? If you can overcome the hype and fame, or "thats where we have always gone too", then there is an absolute gem of a fish & chip shop I discovered quite recently that you should all know about 'Preston Old Road Chippy', which coincidentally enough, it is located on Preston Old Road.It may look plain on the outside and plain on the inside, but do not be deceived by looks. Preston Old Road Chippy is run by a very hard working chinese couple who run an impeccable fish & chip shop service for the communities of Marton. I have tried some of these award winning fish and chip shop chips, and frankly I do not know what the hype is about sometimes.
In my opinion, Preston Old Road Chippy have mastered the fine art of the humble British potato chip, deeply fried and ripened to perfection, slightly moist and perfectly tasty. An 80p side portion is plenty for two and at a push even 3 which represents tremendous value for money. A large fish will set you back at just £2.30, I don't think you can even buy and cook it yourself for that. If you want a healthy option, a smaller fish is available for just £1.80. No quality is spared and you can expect to find old favourites such as 'Hollands' pies plus all the usual fish & chip shop condiments such as mushy peas, chip shop gravy and a few alternatives for the more discerning customer. Once you have put your order in, you won't be waiting long.
Give it a try sometime, don't just take my word for it.
