Nicest Chipper

Gavin "shels"

There's 13 of us (Shels fans) getting the train down to Waterford on Friday for the Waterford -v- Shels match and looking for the nicest chipper.

Our walking route will be over the bridge, along the quays and down from Parnell St, down the Cork Rd, etc...

Any decent pubs along that route aswell?:cool:

Well along that route theres nothing decent, if its just a take away you are after, then when you come across the bridge go straight up bridge street passed the new hotel on your right, then take the second left after that heading up towards Aldi in the Glen, just across the road from Aldi and beside the Forum is Tony's. Very good food in there.

With regards to a pubs, well there are two around there, the showboat and the old ground, while about 300 yards up the road is Alfie Hales in Ballybricken.

Detour a little farther up ballybricken and go to Walkers on Mayors Walk, its the best chipper in waterford by a mile. Alfies and the Tap Room on ballybricken are pretty decent pubs too.

Never saw the attraction of walkers, the chips ain';t great and they don't even give you a proper bag...def not worth the wait you have to endure most of the time if you go there.

If you make it out to tramore, cunninghams up the town is the nicest in the province!

Say what now? my gast is well and truly flabbered at your statement.

The chips in walkers are lovely, nice and crisp unlike the soggy greasy ones in other chippers in the locality. The scallops there are superior too.

plus....a bag?? chips are best served in proper chip paper not lumped into a bag

Have to agree with the poster above.. Probably the best fish a chips in the town. They have a very limited menu so I wouldn’t go their for anything else but fish and chips.. I think they microwave the burgers ,not good.

Thats right, the burgers are microwaved. But it is a fish and chip shop not a burger joint. The battered sausages and breasts of chicken are good too.

I guess the thinking is that they try and do what they specialise in very well. The curry chip in there is good to and the scallop butties....mmmmmm

bazual

I think the nicest chipper in the city is The Marian (at the junction between upper and lower yellow road).

I always loved the food out of Ballybricken take away and since Angelo has left that place to open up the Marian the food has only got better. He is also going to start doing some italian food besides pizzas, pastas n stuff.

Walkers is good but the Marian is better..........

Cheers for the replies. Know Waterford pretty well myself as I have mates down there and stuff so I've been there a few times.

AdMMM

Personally I like the Golden Fry if only because you could walk in there with 50c and come out with a feast in a bag!

Walkers are my favourite though, but are closed until the 14th of July for the families "annual holiday".

Can't bate the cleaboy in fairness lads! Best chips in the county, tastiest chicken fillet burgers...... what more can ye want?

Bit of a long stroll to the RSC, although definitely the most direct route. Not sure how to embed google maps in webpages but if you click this it should get you there a bit quicker.
And you also pass close to Tony's in the Glen and directly past The Marian.

Right the walk turned into a joke because of the rain and so it's all Gavs fault that we're all going to die of pneumonia.

Oh and if the chap that gave me and 2 other fellas a lift is on this thanks for that!
