Chip Inn

The Chip Inn is a chippy. But it's also an Indian, a kebab shop and a pizzeria. Normally if a place has such a range then it wouldn't be good at any of them but I'm pleased to say that I've had each from here and The Chip Inn is excellent on all of them. The place is busy so you're pretty much guaranteed that whatever you order is fresh. In terms of the chippy, there is very little food kept in the hot cabinet so you'll probably have to wait while your order is cooked but that means fresh, crispy batter. You're not in Kansas anymore, so they will ask if you want 'salt & vinegar' (I got the fright of my life when I heard this) so one negative is the lack of proper chippy sauce. Fish suppers are class though. For the kebab shop, I've tried a mixed kebab and a donner. Both good. Plenty meat, plenty salad, tasty sauce. Point for improvement- they're making naan breads and pizzas so they could easily do their own pitta style bread for the kebabs. The pre made ones just disintegrate into mush and shop made bread turns a good kebab into a great kebab. Pizzas - again very good and a decent range. Nice sauce, thinnish base decent cheese and toppings. They are not as good as the 'artisan' pizza place over the road, but it's not direct competition. The Chip Inn is cheaper and bigger with a much wider range of toppings. Would recommend the Turkish pizza- donner meat, onions, bit of chilli. Fantastic. Indian- this is what the Chip Inn does best. Really high quality curries, not too greasy like many Indians. Spices are not overdone but there's plenty heat if you want it. Good portions too. Would recommend the lamb saag here. All in all, good food, reasonably priced service is pretty fast. Had delivery once which took over an hour but we were informed when the order was placed. Usually pick up- 15 to 20 minutes even on busy nights. They are well staffed and efficient. Really pleased that I've got such a good take away place nearby.
