best chippie?

[The Egg Man]

There are three words certain to cast fear into the hearts and tastebuds of afficionados of greet chippies.

Imagine my horror when I spotted the sign in the window of The Grove at Finnieston.

I can, however, report that the chips are still great. My wee brother's special fish was excellent but my regular fish wasn't up to the usual standard. It may have been a one-off. I'll try again soon.

PS. I enquired after the guy who used to run The Grove and was told he'd gone to Govan. The whole queue offered their commiserations on his fate.

do you still get queues in chippies?

[The Egg Man]

Yep. This one consisted mostly of taxi drivers. That's usually a good sign in a chippy.

I was visiting my wife in the western infirmary last night, she's getting cabin fever she's been in almost 3 weeks now, so last night i took her down to the car & nipped into the Grove for a fish supper, it was lovely, best bit it was only £2.95, mind you i got some funny looks sitting eating it with a women n her housecoat & jammies sitting next to me

two ninetyyfive,have you got a time machine.six quid or thereabouts at the chippie boat on the naully.

[The Egg Man]

Sandabout's right. A small fish supper and a small special fish supper came to just over £6.

Banjo, i had a pocket full of smash pound coins etc & was expecting to get rid of about £5.60 had to ask the girl 3 times how much did she say & it had nothing to do with her English accent, i was well chuffed & only ate bout half the chips

I've been to The Grove a couple of times too - really like it there. A few of us were going to go last Friday, but once we'd got settled at mine with a film, we couldn't be bothered to move so we ordered a takeaway pizza instead

Enzo and Dolce Vita on the Shettleston Road get my vote - they (were) my local ones, now that I've moved my dad out of the city as well I rarely get the chance to get back there.

Cafe Zecchino on Alexandra Parade/Cumbernauld Road was always a sound choice as well - always good for a late night stop in on the way home if I was in town and I had the car.
