Kingfisher Fish Bar

While working in Salford one Saturday I came across this chippy while searching Unilocal for options place looked ok from the outside.
Paid £1.60 for a tray of hard, warm and black chips unfortunately not the best chips I’ve ever had. (I’m a chippy expert) on the plus side the staff were friendly enough.

So, Fat Friday rolled back around at work and, on the promise of a consecutive trip to somewhere with biscuits, I managed to convince the office to partake in a chippy tea with me. Although there’s another fish&chip place down the road, it’s a drive away, and I fancied a walk. With estate officer and reluctant tea buyer in tow, we wandered down to the Precinct and put in our order at Kingfisher. We had quite a list so the combined look of disinterest and annoyance on the server’s faces was to be expected, but they could attempt to cover it up; come on people, thank crunchie it’s Friday! Our order was dealt with in due course and they were even so kind as to write down the prices of each individual meal for us (some on the paper and some on our list of orders, but hey ho, we got there in the end!)
The smell was delicious and, upon sitting down to my lovely beige meal of meat&potato pie with chips, I was a happy chappy. They had, however, forgotten a can of coke with our order, but we went with making do and mending and just shared the coke we did have out between us; if they had charged for it it would have been a different story I’m sure! The chips were lovely chippy chips, a tad stodgey for me to finish without the opportunity for a nap afterwards but I gave it a good go. The pie had a lovely crust and enough filling to pastry ratio to keep this faux-​Northerner happy.
A happy chippy tea Friday but service with a smile wouldn’t go amiss!
