There are so many chippies in UK that competition is fierce yet strangely there are not many chippies in Croydon town.
While I was taking a walk to down Cherry Orchard I discovered Mr Chippy which specializes in fish and chips.
I didn't try them on my first visit because I already had a commitment for dinner but I was impressed with the guys because when I asked about chicken, they said a fresh batch was coming out.
I just knew this place was going to be good because I love their genuine endeavours serving the best to customers so I can understand why they were featured on Channel 4's Food unwrapped.
Went back a week later for some food and tried the chips with chicken, spicy wings, Southern fried fish bites and a regular battered fish bite.
The fish bites were really surprising because I was expecting small pieces but they were fish tails which are my favourite part of the fish so next time I'm going to order it again.
The amazing thing was that after a walk home, the fish batter was still light and crispy.
However I couldn't quite taste the difference between the battered and Southern coating (non spicy) because they were quite similar, but anyway I'll be back for them so will get the spicy one next time.
They also have grilled fish too.
As well as the fish, the chips were also the star of the show, just how I like them ie not greasy.
You can always tell if a chip is good visually and by taste, well I can because my tastebuds are sensitive and also by smell because there isn't a greasy smell from the chips or in the shop.
The spicy wings were similar to the ones you get from the chicken shop but there was an extra tikka kick to it.
After finishing the food, I still felt hungry which is a sign of a good chippy because it doesn't leave you bloated.
Overall, highly recommended if you are in the area.
I can't wait until lockdown is over because I'd rather dine it. read more
