Bakers street, next door to Coombes pet shop.
Interesting. When did the new people take over. I wonder if anything will change over time?

I used to go there but they changed friers and the quality went down hill but called in the other day to get a take away menu. which they do not supply now, and noticed the original man frying is back so will give them a try again. At the moment we use Mr Chippy in Haywards Heath. Just as a point of interest I called in to Codfather opposite St Johns park and saw it was the same people who had Tim Leys and apparently they are going to start doing Chinese Take Away again in late September.
Don't be daft, West Hams pre match meal is either Pie ,Mash, and liquor, or Jellied eels, followed by two verses of 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' and Knees up Mother Brown.
Me old china.
I'm caught in your net.
Was it near the Church and pub, that I can't remember the name, opposite and west of the Windmill? Never knew it was a Bardsley's.

Just had some of this. Freshly cooked and delicious.
You can eat-in-sit-down but I cycled mine down to the prom to catch the sunset. Perfeck.

I was sad to hear Roy and Muriel had left, Bardsleys was the best Fish and chip even allowing for Roy's banter! Glad to hear it's in good hands will have to pop down there soon.

Yes. In that row of three story terraces on the south side, opposite and west of The Windmill. I assume that it's now one of the sporadic shops in that terrace.

I tried to find a decent chippy in Burgess Hill. Fishers changed hands a couple of years ago and went downhill, the Town Centre one is okay, I thought Jupps was over priced and over rated and Marino's was pretty average. Best one in the area - head 5 minutes down the road to Hassocks. The chippy there is very good since it was taken over a while back.

The fish and chips experience is a strange one here.
Nothing is cooked in advance and when you place the order it is cooked while you wait, like ordering an Indian or Chinese meal.
They always use the processed chips made from mashed potatoes, like the Macca's ones but fatter, same taste though.
Have not seen one here where everything is ready to go, like back in the UK.

Most chippies here cook fish to order now
I believe they left in the summer (July-ish) https://thelatest.co.uk/brighton/2018/06/21/brightons-famous-fish-and-chip-shop-bardsleys-has-been-sold/
That's the real test, you wouldn't change a successful restaurant immediately as you're still relying on the original customer base to return, but we'll have to wait and see if things change over the long term.
Why would restaurants try and serve smaller portions of chips, it's a fish and chip shop just add 20p on the price if you have to, even worse are those that use a measuring carton first before then wrapping the chips in paper, always seemed to be Chinese owners that have done that, never go back.

Such a shame. An institution to me as a kid and was hoping to pass it down through the generations.
Will give it a go perhaps before the spurs game but sad to hear the son had no interest. Could have sworn he used to work there too.

Never in my life have I had an issue with a chippy run by anyone of any ethnicity (especially Chinese) being stingy with portion size, in fact, it's probably one of the last places you can get a great portion size for less than a fiver. Don't go around making nasty generalizations that have no basis in fact. My comment about Bardsley's smaller portion referred to the change in staff (who were all English by the way) perhaps not being as generous as Roy used to be.
Lighten up mate, you were the one that mentioned portion size and just confirmed that you felt perhaps Roy was more generous as the new owners, you obviously felt it was worth sharing, as for the 'nasty generalisation' I happened to be talking from genuine experience, in the rare times a fish and chip shop used a measuring carton they were different shops and each one was Chinese, hardly an assault on their ethnicity, quite frankly I cannot believe I am having this absurd conversation with you
