Chippy tea?

[Claude Balls]

Mystery diners have sampled thousands of portions of fish and chips from shops across the UK in a bid to crown the UK’s 50 Best Takeaways and 10 Best Restaurants 2021/2022

After months of sampling food, quizzing staff and hitting up social media, we’re delighted to announce this year’s 50 Best Takeaways and 10 Best Restaurants 2021/2022.


Mystery judges visited each establishment that entered unannounced to sample the food and assess key aspects of the business from the cleanliness of the premises, to staff knowledge and professionalism, to their social media presence.

Are we going to Westbury this weekend then?

I saw that.
I don't know if a good chippy tea is worth risking a trip to Westbury though.
We could always bring the guard dog to protect us I suppose.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Lovely language though.
