lavrentis Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 Ever since Walnut Street chippy closed, I have been in disarray searching for a chippy in Leicester that has gravy. Went to Marios chippy on braunstone gate but no luck?
Finnaldo Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 Can't you make some up at home, or do you want it on the go? On a slightly less related note, I reheated some fish I got from the chippy last night. It's fantastic.
lavrentis Posted 16 November 2013 Author Posted 16 November 2013 Peasant. Jeremy Kyle and Proud. Can't you make some up at home, or do you want it on the go? On a slightly less related note, I reheated some fish I got from the chippy last night. It's fantastic. I could make it myself but that takes the fun out of it. It isn't a real chippy if it doesnt serve gravy in my opinion.
separator Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 Mushy peas or curry sauce on your chips is the way to go
ScouseFox Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 Yeah curry, rice & chips. That's the winner.
Soar Fox Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 I don't think I've not came across a chip shop that doesn't sell gravy. Blaby chip shop is my regular haunt, bloody lovely and much better than The Ocean where I used to go.
whoareyaaa Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 Zarcones next to co-op on narborough or Grimsby. Marios is a shit chip shop anyway
Bellend Sebastian Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 My mate and I were offered something in Mario's many years ago that I think the proprietor actually described as 'special stuff'. We made our excuses and left (with the chips, of course)

Night Air Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 I've just moved into Leicester and Mario's is the closest, are there any better ones within walking distance?
Bert Posted 16 November 2013 Posted 16 November 2013 I've just moved into Leicester and Mario's is the closest, are there any better ones within walking distance?There's one on Fosse Road North opposite the Tesco which is just over 5 minutes away from Mario's. Mario's used to be fantastic as well. Bucks chippy is fairly decent but for me it's a close call between Grimsby Fisheries and Millenium Fish bar on Saffron lane.
Guest MattP Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 Bucks isn't bad, certainly the best I've had near the centre of the city. Rothley is still my favourite, we are struggling for decent chippys around here though. Musson Rd shop in New Parks used to be great when big Nigel had it, always had a queue which is generally a good sign.

Musson Rd chippy was a rare treat when I was a kid, though sometimes we used to go a bit further away to the Dominion Rd one.
Zingari Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 There's a guy works our chip shop swears he's Elvis .
Guest MattP Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 Musson Rd chippy was a rare treat when I was a kid, though sometimes we used to go a bit further away to the Dominion Rd one. I never liked the Dominion Road one, always far too soggy.

stez Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 If you ever have the misfortune to find yourself in grantham, then the finest chips in town are to be found in the relax fish bar. Leicestershire-wise, I've been going to today's catch in syston for nearly 30 years because they make lovely chips, but not a patch on the relax.
Lamby Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 I don't think I've not came across a chip shop that doesn't sell gravy. None down here sell it, it's a Northern thing you see

All of this is factually accurate, MattP is a big lad as well so he knows his food. Rothley is the bollocks, I miss it. I go to Bucks at work, that's okay but it suffers the same as the Grimbo does really - it gets too busy at peak times so they rush the chips and they're not soggy / greasy enough.

Doesn't bode well for my 40th...
Saxondale Posted 18 November 2013 Posted 18 November 2013 Ever since Walnut Street chippy closed, I have been in disarray searching for a chippy in Leicester that has gravy. I thought all chippies round here did gravy? Bucks isn't bad, certainly the best I've had near the centre of the city. Rothley is still my favourite, we are struggling for decent chippys around here though. Rothley is the bollocks, I miss it. I don't understand all the Rothley bumming. I've never been blown away by that place. Leicestershire-wise, I've been going to today's catch in syston for nearly 30 years because they make lovely chips, but not a patch on the relax. Today's Catch is my occasional Friday lunchtime treat - bloody good chips.
