Coppice Fast Food

Been there a few times (mostly cause i had to grab something quick) but after the last visit today for two sausage and chip specials i have decided not to visit again. The chips were luke warm, i wanted hot chips. I think i’ll catch the bus to the seagull, they serve hot chips!

Chippy chips? Sitting-​down chippy chips? On a Sunday? Why, it’s the stuff of a madman’s dream and… pssst… also my reality.
While you can fill your cheeks with pizza, kebabs and fried chicken, this remains a traditional fish and chip shop but with enough twists to, if not quite batter the opposition, at least stick a little wooden fork in their hopes and dreams.
Firstly it serves breakfast between 8am and 2pm, ranging from hot sandwiches to increasingly rock n roll takes on the traditional Full English. Seating, as you may imagine, is half the appeal, but it only remains an option until 6pm when Coppice becomes a takeaway-​only establishment. Console yourself with the thought that not only can you be sitting down again from 8am the next day, Sunday opening is an additionally generous 10am to 4.30pm affair. To top it all off, telephone orders are also taken. «Hello, Coppice? Please can I talk to you now; I can’t be bothered face-​to-​face in the shop.»
But it doesn’t end there. Prices are exceptionally reasonable, especially breakfast; with the two-​egg, three-​sossie Full English“Big Man’s Breakfast” setting you back just £4, including two rounds of toast and a cuppa. Chips come free with burgers every afternoon and a £9 16″ pizza comes with a cheesy sibling for just another three quid (delivery only).
The specials menu may also make you look twice. Saveloy and chips, for example, costs £2, although there is a tiny surcharge of 20p for eating in, tie optional. Best of all, if you do combine your mouth with your actual sit-​down lap, you’re in charge of your own salt and vinegar-​shaking. Your destiny is in your own hands. That’s living the dream, surely. And with that, by God, he was gone.
