Can anyone tell me if there is any chipper in Cork that does a decent fish and chips. I tried it twice in Lennox's and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten, an inch of greasy batter around some mushy sludge. The only thing that would alert you to the fact that it was fish were the fins that were still in it for some reason.

The golden fry does a decent Fish and Chips or at least I remember it doing so.

Barties, Ballyphehane Road....No arguments.

I ordered there a few times and was appalled by the hygiene standards. One woman accepted money with her hand, put it in the till and gave someone change before putting on a few new burgers, turning other ones, and then going back to the till again. No gloves or desanitizer were used. I left then and there and never went back. Yuck!

for out of town chippers, taht place on teh main st in midleton that's a fishmongers by day is savage for a battersausage and chips on yer way home

My OH is from Midleton and swears that the chipper you are talking about is the best in the world! Never misses a chance to visit when down. I think it's called Keoghans or Keohans. I had a yummy thing called a potato pie there, never encountered one outside cork, what a strange thing it was, not even really a pie.... But yummy good!

Was very disappointed the last two times I was there, nowhere near as nice as they once were. I've heard a few people say the same thing to me as well. Most improved - but definitely not the best in Cork - is Hoggy's on South Main St. Chips are really good there now.

I miss KC's, and was in Cork last week and forgot to go!
Ah well that means I must head down again soon

Was that recently ? Bartie is back at the helm now for the last few years, he had sold the place to a chap from Kerry, while the Kerry chap owned it the food was fairly ****e. All good now that Bartie is back, still I have to say I prefer Lennox's in Bandon Road. Although if I was ever having chipper food as a main meal rather than a snack I would go to the Golden Fry, fantastic grub there.

As others have said Lennox on Tory Top road is awful stuff.

Bumping this thread has given me some craving. Looks like a Jackie Deluxe for lunch tomorrow when I head back to college.

I have to admit I don't remember when he bought the place back, the Kerry man was definitely the owner in 2006, still as I say, it's fine now that Bartie himself is at the helm again, the Kerry man was rarely there himself, Bartie is in there much of the time serving customers.

Does Barties still do the deep fried Mars bars, magic coming home from the Cross after a Cork City win

Nope, he hasn't done them again since he came back. They do a Pounder burger though !! I've never chanced it, reckon you'd be in a bad state if you managed it :eek:

Jeez, half pounders are hard enough to keep in the bun. Does it fall apart the second you pick it up?

Lennox, Bandon road only
Kc,
Golden Fry,

But mattie Kiely was the best- unreal

GymJim

John Greasies! Ahem...John Graces I mean

But seriously KC's by a mile...Jackie Lennox's isn't even a patch on it.

Dunno, never had one, I reckon you'd need some mouth to tackle it though, obviously there is loads of extra buns in there too, quadruple decker sandwich effect. I suppose if you were after a severe days hard graft one with a knife and fork may be a value feed, iirc they are not too expensive.

Couldnt agree more about dinos Kinsale!! The staff are by far the rudest I have ever come across !!

Can't believe this is not on the list, some of the best chips in the northside

Murphy's on Gerald Griffin Street
My wife is from Blackpool and they swear by Murphys, when we were going out together, we used to stop off in the Sunflower for chips and gravy, at the time it was gorgeous but probably hygenically challenging

for all ye guys who voted on this ye missed out on the best take away which is murphys on gearld griffin street there for the last 50 years and still the cues out the door so if ye want 2 drive over the bridge it would b well worth the trip
