Tomorrow is Monday and I'm starting a healthy eating plan so this weekend is one of pure indulgence…read moreand I'm determined to enjoy every last minute of it. Therefore my trusty sister and partner in crime Caroline S and I decided to get takeaway for supper. We tried new delivery company Deliveroo and found they currently don't deliver to our area. This is a bit ridiculous as we're relatively central. I can't see Deliveroo prospering in Belfast if their delivery zone is so restricted. Apparently they currently only deliver to BT1 which is literally just the city centre! After much deliberation and debate we ruled out pizza, Chinese, Thai and Indian food and decided on chip shop food for supper. So John Dory's it was. Having been let down by Deliveroo we resorted to the trusty Just Eat app to order. All was quick, easy and efficient. As two vegetarians what we could order from John Dory's menu was limited as even their pasties are not vegetarian. Thus they lose a full star for lack of vegetarian options. We ordered a chip, a cheesy chip, onion rings, battered mushrooms, a tub of mayo and a tub of garlic mayo. Our order arrived quickly enough within 30 minutes, which was less than the 45 minutes we had been told it would take. It was hearty, unhealthy grub which really hit the spot and did not disappoint. I loved the chips but thought the onion ring and mushroom batter a tad too soggy instead of crispy. All the same everything was tasty, flavoursome and delicious and I would get food from John Dory's again.

It wasn't like I had went for an obscure item on the menu, all I wanted was some fish and chips!For start, the chips in this place are mediocre in the extreme.They weren't well cooked or crispy or anything, they were just lightly fried and were quite hard when I arrived home to eat them.The fish was a bit better, but agin was unspectacular, with the batter soggy and the portion not overly large. I haven't tried anthing else from here as I was put off by my rubbish chips on my first visit, so I can't really comment on them, but in my opinion there are a lot of better chip shops than this around, and I would advice that people head elsewhere for good fish and chips!

I met my son on the street by accident and had no idea he was in Belfast. He cheerfully announced…read morehe was going to Simply Fish just two minutes from where we met to try their fish & chips. I could smell the greasy air coming out from it. I accompanied him but did not indulge rather I sampled a few chips, half a piece of one of three pieces of battered 'fish' and a curry sauce. It is likely that at some time in my life I have had fish and chips as truly awful as this muck was, but thankfully I can't recall. Avoid this place like the plague. I couldn't distinguish what the grey 'fish' actually was and the batter was greasy awful and congealed thick. The chips can't be Maris Piper even cooking them badly couldn't make them this tasteless and as for the curry sauce pot - even mc Donald's sickly sweet 'curry' is haute cuisine in comparison. This place should be bulldozed it's disgusting. Minus 100 stars.

The Golden Chip is an institution in East Belfast - everyone has heard of it, and almost everyone…read morehas tried it. I know I certainly have, more times than I really should have. The battered cod is pretty good, but its the chicken strips that keep me keeping on going back. Somebody stop me. The legendary chicken strips are long chunks of chicken breast deep fried in lovely lardy batter. But not too lardy, lovely and golden and quite crispy. They come with chips and one portion would feed two people with moderate appetites. So not the husband and I then. Throw in a tub of gravy and you're good to go. That little lot will cost you less than £5. The other must try are the battered mushrooms. These little beauties are hard core as the spongy mushrooms really soak up the oil but a couple of them totally caked in salt are strangely good. The Golden Chip does kids meals in a box for £3 which come rather unusually with a Kinder Egg. Odd choice but of course the kids love it. So maybe more clever than odd. What you will also notice about the Golden Chip is that it is spotlessly clean and that the servers are polite and friendly which are two things you don't always get for your buck in a chippy. Lunchtimes and weekend tea times can be busy with a wait of around 10 minutes so bring the paper with you and chill your boots. Although they can be 10 verrrry long minutes when you're starving and surrounded by chips. Judging by the number of plaques on the walls, they have won a shed load of awards. Quite right too.

The first problem was that they only do beef sausages, I thought I would give it a go anyway and although the batter was excellent and the sausage was of good quality it wasn't quite the same! The second problem was that the topping of cheese was on the thin side, there was very little of it! And the third problem was that the gravy was quite tasteless and watery and reminded me of Sunday dinners growing up, which wasn't a good thing! Aside from that the chips were nice and the prices are reasonable

Ive actually probably rang their phone number more than my own house landline number as I hate waiting on the food as it can get a little crowded and sometimes the wait is long. I do miss the pickled eggs, my obsession with vinegar as a kid made me stand and eat a couple as I waited on the grub being prepared but now I boil my own :-) I would give the Clarence full marks if it wasnt for the price of the food. YES it is very nice indeed but unfortunately every sinner knows that the prices are a bit steep but then theres that old saying "you get what you pay for" They do a special daily though which knocks a quid or so off your bill. Overall big thumbs up for the award winning CLARENCE FISH AND CHIP SHOP :-)
