Center Half Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Used to be a chippy across the street fa the auld hoose what was it called? , it wasna bad. If he refused his fish delivery for not being up to scratch Robert would sell the fish in the auld hoose later that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry Curran's Love child Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Step forward the chippy on Glengarry Road, I think it was called Ronaldo's at the time? It was over 20 years ago now... Cracking chippy and owner too. Used to take him the eels and flounders we caught when fishing down at the harbour when I was a youth and trade them for greasy delights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy Johnston Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Abbeys in North Muirton, you would get your chips and curry sauce just in the news paper...Fuc*in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Bar Toilet Attendant Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Abbeys in North Muirton, you would get your chips and curry sauce just in the news paper...Fuc*in quality. In retrospect it probably wasn't that good, but the first chippie I remember was the Bridgend chippie in the late 70's/early 80's. The outside was painted blue and ran by a guy called Andy. It had a wee seating area if I remember rightly? However, i can still smell that brilliant aromal and savouring fish and chips and other delights for the first time! Bridgend had great shops then. Mrs MacDonalds fruit & veg shop, Lee's fishmonger on the bridge, Proudfoot's and McIntyre's bakers, George Morrison's grocers, Betty Kennedy's ladies wear & hosiery (was straight out of the 1950s!). I remember them all!! I even remember shops where the car park is opposite the Riverside Inn. I think there was a hardware shop and a newsagents run by two ancient scary sisters? Well they were when you were four! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Holdgates was good for a 'sit doon' chippie and always felt like a treat. Grew up in Craigie and the chippie was always good, although the guy that ran it was a tyrant to his staff. The young lad there now has been there for years and really knows his stuff. However, although it is a chinese / chippy and the 'chippy' stuff aint nothing to write home about, Hospital Street chips and curry are legend and are a massive part of my youth, including variations on the theme, chips/fried rice/curry, chips/ beans/curry. Woke up many a time with a massive hangover to find I had been rolling about all night in the remnants of my chips n' curry.....mmm breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they were when you were four! used to be Duffs the baker there too in the late 1960's - used to go down every morning from the Potterhill flats for "crispy" rolls -3 absolute quality bakers within 100 yards of each other - happy days:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDinky Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Craigie is by far the best, closely followed by the Hong Kong. Crieff Road pretty rank, Marinis good fish/puddings but bad chips. Central which has opened up in Tulloch does good chips - big portions and quite cheap. Not had a supper yet!

Remberbuck Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Holdgates was always "OK". But when the chip pokes were only half full in Spring because "they were new potatoes". What was that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychunder Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Holdgates was good. Also the one near the auld snooker, Watsons was it? The chips at Glengarry Rd were always cut too big and undercooked. The other place Pinos I got a ginger hair in my single fish once. My Uncle uses to own the chippie on the Dunkeld Road till he went to Australia in the late 60s. That was the best for me because everything was free!

That Bar Toilet Attendant Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Roxannes? Wasn't that opposite Pullar House? Roxanne's was part of the old Odeon Cinema on Kinnoull Street, before that it was Park Avenue Snooker Hall and Amusements. When it was still the Odeon Cinema, it is of note because that is where Ewan McGregor went to see his Uncle (Denis Lawson) appear in Star Wars, a long, long tme before he was Obi Wan Kenobi!
