    Gillygate in Pontefract are brilliant. Then there's Ringaroses and Davians in Rotherham.

    I'll have to ask my Dad about Mill Lane Ryhill. He used to talk about Greasy Lil's.

    Loads... Murgatroyds in Yeadon, Inghams in Filey to name just two. I thought Gary's in Barnsley used to advertise they fried using it too. Not sure it is still going though. The reason most switched to Veggie Oil is that, like butter and dairy it got bad press from the healthy heart brigade and pushed for vegetable oilsd and margarine spreads. It allegedly lasts longer before needing changing and so saves retauranteurs money (ignoring the fact that after not so many hours of heating they quickly become less healthy due to chemical changes --producing Trans fatty acids and all that. Recent research seems to indicate that, in moderation , frying in animal fats is not as unhealthy as was first thought.
    Beef tallow has a higher smoke point so fries crisper as well as adding flavour. Belgium renowned for frites are cooks them in blanc de boeuf which is highly refined beef tallow which I used for my home cooked fish 'n chips.

    This is the correct answer. It used to be the chippy at the top of Bell Lane until they moved to Hillside next to the chemist. Always been magnificent fish and chips.

    Went caravanning years ago in the Gower and found 2 chippies on the sea front at Port Einon, The Seafarer and the Captain's Table. One of them had the best fish I'd ever tasted from a chippy and the other had the best chips!
