Grahame Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a chip shop next to Tesco on Herries Road and I believe the same person ownes both shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah1 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a chip shop next to Tesco on Herries Road and I believe the same person ownes both shops. You are correct..., But, it's the Manor fish bar that owns them, not the old Becketts that Piker is on about... I loved old Becketts.. Proper chips they were.. You used to open up the paper, and they were just a lump of chips all stuck together.. Mmmmmm:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmm:) Thank you, and just to say that when I was diving a white van I used to adjust my route so I would be near Becket's at dinner time, especially so I could call in, but when it changed hands I went a few times and then stopped going. It's not been the same since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemima Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 We used to have Becketts chips saturday afternoons after mum and dad had been shopping in the 70;s They used to call to Fishwicks (was next door to the cinema at Intake) and then we used to have chips and fishcake and a cuppa..lovely. Fishwicks used to sell Fishballs quite a novelty then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piker Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Got my mouth watering about those chips that used to stick together, and the fishcakes were out of this world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASBEAR Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 still go to becketts chippy on manor top (now known as manor top fish bar). they still cook them the same way as before I disagree - they don't taste the same as they did when it was called Becketts! I cam back to Sheffield last month and tried some - not the same at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grump's Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I now live 50 yards from the chip shop in question, and would not even cross the road to eat them, the smell is really bad, i well remember seeing people waiting in line a 100 yards long out side the shop (on a Saturday morning) when it was Becketts, they were that good. Tip of the day, never buy from a chippy that has not got a queue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
