What's everyone's favourite in the Leicester area?

 

For fish and chips - Nicks in Ashby. Fantastic batter on the fish and excellent chips. Soft and tasty without being limpid. 

 

For kebab and chips - Vinnies in Ibstock. Exceptional kebabs. Loads in them. Fresh salad, too.

Leicester is pretty toss for chips.

Not really a surprise though. Leicester is just about the furthest City away from the sea.

Yeah I second Nicks although only have it about twice a year.

Chips are chips, the mark of a good chippy is the fish.

Cosby is decent for fish and chips. I’m still searching for a decent kebab joint round here though.

How far is Cosby from Ibstock? Honestly game changing is Vinnies.

I used to live within sniffing distance of Cosby chip shop.  Is it still decent since changing hands?  I know the new owner worked alongside the previous owners (miserable fvckers) so that things wouldn't change too much.

tbf I’m not in Cosby now but I always travel back for chips and Tythe barn takeaway.

I’m in New Lubbesthorpe, so probably 20 mins from Ibstock.

I’ll give it a bash.

Yeah, my dad lived on Broughton road for years, so I remember it before. I can’t tell the difference in quality at all.

If I hadn’t of known it had changed, then I would have been oblivious.

You'll have to have them in the car. Nowt worse than a cold kebab and chips unless it's the morning after.

Moved to Stratford-upon-Avon last year and yet to properly sample any of the chippies in town. Walked past a few that looked like the Grimsby chippy standard, with eat-in options.

 

If anyone knows of any this way that are worth trying, let me know!

So long as they’re paper wrapped I can pop them in the electric cooler/heater that I have for such occasions.

One near to the theatre that faces the river. Great snap in there. Good battered sausage
