I left Taunton over 20 years ago having grown up here. Despite a couple of brief visits I've not really spent much time here.
Decided I needed to come back and relive my yoof. Part of that is Howard's chip shop. I think (and I might be wrong) that I went to college with the original? owners daughter.
Anyway, as the saying goes you should never go back. Should have taken the advice. It wasn't the worst portion of chips I've ever had (that accolade goes to a place in Sunderland) but it came in a very solid second.
Mushy, greasy, tasteless...... get the picture? Portion size was adequate, just! but have to give the fryer 10/10 for cheek charging £1.70. Covent Garden charge £2 and you get twice the amount of (edible) chips.
Possibly this par for the course in Taunton but they'd last 5 seconds in London.
As I said shouldn't have gone back! Sad sad sad :( read more
