I just couldn't believe someone recommended Blyth and wanted to show as much without causing insult and actually being the one to say it's a hole ;)

Blyth is a hole.

 

Seaton Sluice is an area of natural beauty though. :angel:

 

(Jokes aside I wouldn't recommend the Sluice, nice place to retire if you've got a bit of capital to enjoy the houses on Collywell Bay road, but the rest is... well the beach is a nice place to take the kids for a Saturday afternoon.)

You don't have any kids though, do you???? Whose kids have you been taking to Seaton Sluice, Dave?

Best chippy in the North east in Seaton Sluice. We drive up there rather than go to the ones much closer in North Shields.

 

Average there is £175,045, so better class of place than most on the list, but there's no transport links, local supermarkets, good pubs or restaurants other than the chippy.

Nephew.

 

Poor bastard's got no chance, he's already been carted off to the woods near Birmingham to go LARP*ing with his mam and dad.

Gills is decent, but I was surprised to see people think it's owt special.

 

Melton Constable has improved, but aye, it's not great. Astley Arms used to be class, but it's a Brewer's Fayre (or similar) carvery now.

Aye, best fish for miles there. Chips are nowt special, but you get a whale, no skin or bone & lush crispy batter and always dead consistent.

 

We had one portion of fish and chips between 3 of us on Saturday, admittedly, one of us was is only 2, but we still threw left overs out for the birds at St Mary's car park where we ate them.

Faulkners on Kingsland Road used to be top notch when I lived around there, although the last time I went it had changed hands and wasn't as good. That was over 10 years ago so no idea what it's like now, probably been turned into a hipster cereal bar.

 

Still even when it was bad it was better than the chippy in Delaval Mr Moat had his final supper in, that plaice was awful.

It's a Crown place now, same as the Goose. It's well placed for a half hour rest when I walk along to the coast, but I've never fancied eating there.

Any chippy recommendations in London? I know it's a cliché but I've been here 3 years now and nowt but overpriced disappointment. Would pay through the nose for a decent one when the craving hits. There must be some.

 

The Fish Club is a bit pricy but it's good eatin'

 

To be honest, you're probably just as well going to one of the million "Gastropubs" and having their Fish and Chips.
