RobHawk Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 58% for me to but more of a shire boy too! At least i was until i left! Is Brucciani's still there? I don't think its in but its years since i was in the city centre! Loved the cakes there as a kid! That question brought back some memories!
Finnegan Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 There's still one on Church Gate and one on Humbo gate ain't there?
Mark_w Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 48% and to be fair I think that's about as Leicester as I want to be.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 61%. I only ate at Grimsby once after being told it's the best chippy in the world... I don't know if they were having a bad day but it was the most average chips I can remember having

I don't know if they were having a bad day but it was the most average chips I can remember having Very average. Fish was sometimes nice but chips were always poor in my visits. Unfortunately another one of those places that had masses of uncultured people who know little about food eating there and telling everyone how nice it was when it wasn't. Bit similar to now when you get people telling you you can get a decent breakfast or steak in a weatherpoons.
lavrentis Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 The best chippy I've been to is at Skegness, by the roundabout and theres 2 next to eachother. I do like Syston chippy as well, thats a good one.
davieG Posted 13 November 2013 Author Posted 13 November 2013 Very average. Fish was sometimes nice but chips were always poor in my visits.

Bit similar to now when you get people telling you you can get a decent breakfast or steak in a weatherpoons. It used to be very good but then it got overly popular expanded and went downhill.

Good grief

Captain... Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 Birstall Fisheries are the best fish chips I've ever had.
Guest MattP Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 Birstall Fisheries are the best fish chips I've ever had. I think Rothley is the best around here, best I've done is this one in Market Deeping though, was a proper restaurant and was absolutely stunning, I could have exploded had I forced myself to it was so nice.
Webbo Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 Birstall Fisheries are the best fish chips I've ever had. Haven't been for years but it was good. I've been told Rothley is good but the only time I went there it was shut.
davieG Posted 13 November 2013 Author Posted 13 November 2013 Haven't been for years but it was good. I've been told Rothley is good but the only time I went there it was shut. Motto must have just been in and eaten all their stock.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 Birstall Fisheries are the best fish chips I've ever had. Having lived in Birstall for 4 years, I have two local options: - Baine's (nice chips but very questionable hygiene) - Birstall Fisheries (nice service, chewy chips) Have you been recently? Or am I going on the wrong days! Rothley is good. I also used to love Sileby Fish Bar, although occasionally thoroughly undercooked
GingerrrFox Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 Fish and Chips look no further than Hunters in Evington. Ridiculous how good it is. I've ate them everywhere from in Leicester and they are the best.

Or am I going on the wrong days! Fairly recently, last time was over the summer, you do occasionally get chewy chips, but that normally happens when they are busy and rushing them out, normally the chips are perfect nice and crispy and not too greasy and the fish is always good.
The Blur Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 45% Had to google some places such as Old John for clarification though.
Parafox Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 74%. Should have been questions about knowing Gary Lineker' school, buying something from Lineker's market stall, having been to Lineker's bar in Tenerife, swimming in the cut (or in Abbey Park near the weir), knowing who "The Lions" are. That might've given me 80%
Parafox Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 There's still one on Church Gate and one on Humbo gate ain't there? Brucciani's have two places in Leicester, Churchgate (one word) and Fox Lane, just off Humberstone gate. Their production premises are still near King Richard's bridge.
The God Emperor Posted 13 November 2013 Posted 13 November 2013 81% didnt know the 2 night clubs and I often correct my mate at work who's not from Leicester when he calls the shires the highcross. the highcross is a wetherspoons not a shopping centre!
