Fish and chip shops have been a staple of British and Irish food culture for well over a century, But in a world of fast food chains and meal delivery apps, the traditional chippy is becoming rarer. At The Frying Squad, we're not just serving great food - we're keeping a tradition alive. Here's why the chippy experience is something worth preserving.
The lost art of the chippy is something worth preserving, and here’s why.
The Ritual of Ordering at the Counter: There's something special about walking into a proper chippy, smelling that fresh, golden fry in the air and ordering straight from the counter. No drive-thrus, no screens - just a friendly chat, a quick decision, and a meal that's cooked fresh for you, It's an experience that fast food places just can't match.
Wrapped, Not Boxed: In the old days, fish and chips were served in the newspaper- thankfully we've moved on from that, but the wrapped-in-paper tradition lives on. Unlike plastic containers that make chips sweaty and soggy, paper keeps them crisp, hot and easy to eat. Plus, unwrapping your super feels like opening
Supper Time is Family Time: A chippy tea isn't just about food; it's about bringing people together. Whether it's grabbing supper on a Friday night, treating the kids after a long day, or sharing a bag of chips by the seaside, fish and chips have always been meal made for moments. At The Frying Squad, we love being part of those traditions.
Hand-Crafted, Not Mass-Produced: There's a reason chippy food tastes better than generic fast food - it's made by hand, not by machines. Our fish is freshly battered, our chips are hand-cut, and every portion is cooked to order. You won't find any prepacked, frozen portions here- just real food, made properly.
The Classic Menu That Never Gets Old: No matter how much the food industry changes, nothing beats a proper fish supper. While trendy burger joints and sushi places come and go, the chippy has stood the test of time. Why? Because some things don't need reinventing. At The Frying Squad, we're proud to serve the classics, just as they should be.
Keeping the Chippy Tradition Alive!
At the Frying Squad, we believe that a proper chippy is more than just a takeaway- it's a slice of local culture. Whether you're a regular or someone who hasn't been to a chippy in years, we invite you to come and experience a taste of tradition.
