Alek’s Chippy
01
The batter
Mixed in the shop, not out of a sack. Light enough to crack and thin enough that you still taste the fish.

What we’re known for
Three things
we don’t cut corners on
02
The potatoes
Maris Pipers, cut fresh each morning, blanched and then fried again to order. Fluffy inside, never limp.
03
The oil
Filtered daily and changed on a schedule, not when it looks bad. Old oil is what makes a chippy taste like a chippy shouldn’t.
The board
Ten counters,
one order page
Fish fried when you ask for it, kebabs off the spit, Pukka pies, meal deals for the whole house and Ben & Jerry’s for after. Prices and what’s on right now live on the ordering page — always current, never a printout.

Behind the counter
Twenty-five
years
Twenty-five years at the same range. Long enough to know a batter by the sound it makes, and to know that not one of the shortcuts is worth taking. Four steps, every order, the same as they were on day one.
-
Cut & blanched
Potatoes come in whole, get cut in the shop, and go through a first low fry to cook the middle.
-
Battered on the spot
The fillet is floured and dipped as the order lands, so the batter is still wet when it hits the oil.
-
Fried hot, fried twice
Fish and chips go in separately at their own temperatures. Chips get a second, hotter fry for the crust.
-
Wrapped and out
Salted, vinegared unless you say otherwise, wrapped, and handed over while it is still too hot to hold. Not bagged and left.
