I'd never been to this place until New Year's Day, but I've always admired the crusty old fibreglass chicken on the roof. Charmingly decrepit. Some friends and I stopped by on our way home from the beach after rejecting the Grange Fish and Chips store's thirty minute wait for a serve of medium chips.
As well as pizza they sell chips, chiko rolls, pineapple fritters, fish, seafood sticks, chicken and a range of other mystery fried goods. My friend bought a corn version of a chiko rolls with a kind of creamed corn substance inside, which despite my hatred of corn separated from the cob, I quite enjoyed. But hey, when something is fried until all the nutrients have disappeared, sometimes you can't help but enjoy it. They also stock Arizona ice tea - one of the best ice teas around. Cute label too.
The interior of the store is as characteristic as the exterior - the counter is decorated with money from all around the world and the metal pizza oven has Fel-Fella magnets arranged to spell Fel-Fella. Someone musta been bored that day. The service was a little on the inconsistent side, I got served straight away, but my friend was standing at the counter for ten minutes before someone spoke to her. Then they confused her order and only gave her one corn chiko thingey. The chips weren't the best I've ever had - a little on the flat side and a touch too much chicken salt.
But hey, it's a nice takeaway joint. read more
