This is the best chippy in town and it continues to batter the opposition - and that's with the emergence recently of two or three new contenders.
George's Best manages that rare feat of serving chips which taste as good as that familiar paper and vinegar smell which has been driving Brits daft across centuries. Its power has not been undermined by new management whose staff are exceptionally polite and keeping up the George's Best tradition: massive portions for noticeably less than you'd imagine.
Extremely late opening on Thursday, Friday and Saturday is a new addition, which joins telephone orders for collection as a string to the bow. Yet it remains a traditional chip shop at heart, kebabs and chicken complementing rather than dwarfing the classics: cod, plaice, haddock and roe.
The real change has come through offering 'all-day' breakfasts - a cheaper full English is available until 11.30am Monday to Saturday. But you can forget carrying home your fried egg in a tray. George's Best allows customers to eat in, making use of a surprisingly large seating area - a service not restricted to breakfasts, but accommodating the chippy side of the menu too. read more
