The Tober is my better halfs local chip shop and it comes in at a close call to being my favourite…read morechippy. (See The Crescent) Again, there's a number of reasons why I love this place so much but number one has got to be their battered mushrooms. They're huge, fresh, juicy wonderful snacks. I can't ever order from here without getting a portion. Also their pastys aren't half bad either. (Something The Crescent lets me down on) It's a great wee local shop where everyone in the small village of Parkgate comes for their weekend fish and chip treat. They even stay open now on a Monday and Bank Holidays to keep the regulars happy. It's sweet to know these tiny communities still have such close connections. Something we lose out on in the bigger cities. If you're from around this area or happen to be passing through call in and give them some business. The culchy counter staff will be pleased ta see ye hay boy!

It is a small little place and there are a few tables but it seems more like a take out place. I went a couple times. The first time the person at the counter looked like she was being bothered to take our order, but the next couple of times, the people were so friendly and helpful.

Wonderful food and quick. Highly recommend for lunch after a trip to the Bushmill Distillery.read more

Great place that should deserve a lot more attention…read more A little difficult to find, and definitely need a second pair of eyes... The outside of this place was an industrial-looking building that nobody would have thought it's a fish n chips place. Parking was TIGHT! So be warned!! The moment you walked in, it gave out an old harbor diner feel (not sure if that's how you describe it)... Tile flooring, straight 90-degree wooden booths. They have both takeout and dine-in service, so we decided to enjoy the moment and sat in for our fishy. Most of the items have both regular size or what they called a "supper" size, which just means more on the chips... or fries for us North Americans. We ordered the classic Fresh Battered Fish and a Pastie (huh?) As you wait for the goodies, you could hear the sound of fish or chips being fried, that's really music to my ears! The fish was LONG! Fried to perfection with minimal batter, just the way it's supposed to be to showcase the main character- FISH! Despite ordering the regular fish n chips, the portion of the fries was perfect for us... those fries were THICK CUT and the size of my thumb!! And then, our mystery Pastie arrived. My first thought was "a flatten ball of..." FISH PASTE and potato (pure guesses on the potato part, not 100% sure). It was a very interesting fried loveliness for us... it tasted a little like those Asian fish sausages with onions. Overall, CHEAP and WORTH THE DRIVE! Both of these combined were only GBP 8 something (about CAD$13)! If you ordered the exact same thing back home, the fish n chips along already cost more than $13.

There are 3 things that make The Crescent the best chip shop I know…read more (1) Chicken fillet burgers (2) Curry cheesy chips (3) Battered Mars Bars To explain in more detail, for say roughly the past 5 years I've often visited both this branch (Monkstown) and their other in Kings Crescent. Used to be on a Friday night my friends and I would get the vodka in, go to the video store and rent a movie, then head to The Crescent for a good old dirty chippy. Ah those were the days! Their chicken burgers are nearly the size of my head, no joke! They're scrummy! You really can't get a better burger anywhere else. The chicken is unbelievable juicy, completely tender and battered to perfection. They also make the nicest curry cheesy chips (I'm sure some of you reading this will be thinking, curry? and cheese? What? But really, don't knock it until you've tried it. Then you can thank me, you're welcome in advance by the way!) And so we move on to the battered Mars Bars. Now, I know this is a controversial subject, a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, but personally, I'm a lover (of Mars Bars, definitely not Marmite) and I dread to think that some of you poor souls won't even have heard of the greatness that is the battered Mars Bar. If this is the case, go to the Crescent right now and get one. It's one of those, you must try these before you die. You will not regret it!

It didn't really deliver on that to be honest, the batter was a bit bland, it lacked that sweetness that you can get in a good batter - and there wasn't a lot of 'fish' to the erm, well, fish. But the staff were really nice and the food was ready fairly promptly - so I'm not going to berate them for it - it wasn't awful, I've just had better experiences having fish and chips.
