When someone mentions "the best fish and chip shop in Leeds, and possibly the country" you kinda…read morehave to give it a go. For curiosity sake. All in the name of research.
Whilst I will admit, the fish and chips here are nice, Nash's Original Fish and Chip Restaurant isn't the best I've ever tasted. And it's when someone hauls such an accolade on a place it's more of a let down than if you'd have just been told, "here's a nice place to go for fish and chips".
Nash's is a restaurant in the same way that McDonalds is a restaurant, it's not really, it's a nice and clean place to sit down in twos or in groups and eat some fast food without having to take it outside or home to eat it. The staff are lovely and enthusiastic and the fish is lovely, and portions are rather large, they come in four sizes, small, regularly, large and giant. I never did see what giant looked like, but if the regular was anything to go by it musta been HUGE.
As to be expected these days, the takeaway version of the food prices are lower than the restaurant prices, but in my opinion, with so much fish and chip shop competition, they could do with making the prices a bit more on the modest side. Veggie lasagne and a salad £7.50? I've paid less in a rather nice Italian restaurant. In Blackpool, which serves some of the finest fish and chips in the country in my humble opinion, you can get fish, chips, mushy peas, a slice of bread and butter and a pot of tea for a fiver and it's divine, here they do meal deals too. Fish, chips, bread and butter slice and a cup of tea for £8, if you want mushy peas (which is the law) you need an extra £1.50. So it's £9.50 for fish and chips meal to eat in. Too much I do believe.
Nice, but average, not the best in the country, and not really the best in Leeds. Sorry guys.
