A FISH CALLED RHONDDA

Simply marvellous. My mate Barry recommends the food highly and he
*is* a chippie, you know. So there you go. I've never been, but
intend to visit soon. You can always tell a classic chip shop from
the decor. Just imagine each cute cartoon fishy - big lips smiling
as he awaits his impending batter-related doom. Hey fishy, what's
with the eyelashes?

Any chippie on Caroline Street after 6 pints of Brains used to taste lush.

But it's gone all posh now.

:eek:

"Caroline Street", "posh" ? I'm not sure I can fit both concepts in my head at the same time.

I really must get back to Cardiff more often :p

Horrid, Horrid place.

Still love that Colins Adult Books isn't going anywhere.

We were just mulling over its continued presence, sitting on the uncomfortable ledge outside the B.1/4, with a bag of Tony's finest in our hands on Friday night. Llantwit claims to have known its interior in the days before it became an exclusively "adult" shop.

I, of course, am entirely unfamiliar with its interior.

A classic combination of darts accesories and second hand ( yes that is second hand ) porn mags....may be dvds now
 
I'd go for Pete's Plaice in Cardiff, although the nicest chips I've had recently have been in Trecenydd Fish Bar, in Trecenydd, Caerffili.

Aye, I forgot to mention the Codfather - you got to love it for the name alone :D - but I don't know the one on Neville St. Must have a look.

Ooo i'd love a bag of chips from the Codfather right now. No decent chips downunder! :(

Well, if you're on your way in, do you mind if I give you a short list that you could procure at discounted prices for, ahem, my friend who is doing research on the current state of adult publishing? Please ;)

As a Rhondda boy myself I had to giggle when I saw the name.
But the BEST-EVER Rhondda Chippy was Mrs G's by the Griffin in Pentre

I'll have to disagree there. I reckon best Rhondda chippy has to be Station Fish Bar, more commonly known as Steve's, in Treorchy.
 
Fish bar claims chip world record

couldn't find the 'dorothy or tony's' :confused: thread so gonna have to slap it here

A Cardiff chippy hopes to have fried its way into the Guinness records book for the world's largest bag of chips.

Staff at Dorothy's in the city centre's Caroline Street, dubbed "chip alley" by generations of city revellers, worked in relays to produce 392.5kg of chips.

The effort, equivalent to nearly 3,500 portions, which beat the previous record held by a chip shop in Hereford.

:cool:

e2a - the bloke that owns dorothy's is called tony :eek:
Irishman Tony Barcoe has run Dorothy's for most of the past 40 years, and took the world record fry-up in his stride.

Staff started frying the chips in vegetable oil at 1030 GMT and finished five hours later.

Mr Barcoe said: "We've got the Millennium Stadium across the road from us, and when that kicks out we can have 70,000-odd people looking for food."

After the final weight was verified, he said the attempt was "easy, you should see what we do on a Saturday night."

I'm stuck in the lab until late - I think a quick pop to XL is in order. Nice chips - fish is pricey so I think i'll skip it.

It's not as nice as Albany Fish Bar, but thats too far from here!

Albany is the best around here. McDoners is a stones throw from where I live, but I avoid it like the plague. XL is very good too. Use to go there when the AFB closed a few years back
 
i knows its not cardiff, but has anyone had chips from the caerphilly gravy hut?

the burgers are grease-tastic so was just wondering like.
 
I'm a friend of Dorothy's on this one. What's happened to Chip Alley are they not renewing the leases to make it more suitable for the sort of people who go to the "Brewery Quarter"?
