going for a sav pattie and chips, anyone want owt?

Spent nearly every lunch time of 5 yrs at Henry Smiths in Verrills.

Chip-Loaf.......................ahhhhh, the memories !!!

Occasionally went for the beans and chips in a tray when feeling rich !!

Mmmmmm. Verrills!

You mean you didn't stay for school dinners!!

Sounds like some sort of disease.

School dinners where in the asbestos ridden building near the Friarage Youthy. All I really remember of them is the tickets we were meant to buy at the beginning of the week, the hard-crusted apple-duff, and the strange gold metallic jugs the water came in

Never went myself either. The first 2 years went home to Commercial Street around the back of the Palladium, and the other 3 caught a bus to our new home in West View near to The Queen. The smell coming from those outbuildings put me off from ever trying food from there.

I'm off Verrills at the minute.

Went in there the other Saturday, 1245 (at least half an hour before it closes) only to be told (after having stood in the queue for ages) that they'd run out of fish. A fish shop that runs out of fish half way through its opening hours?

it's hard to catch the little blighters though Ripper

Aye, gerus a half lot, scraps and peas. Can of shandy bass.

I was also at Verrills today. Yum yum

You don't have much luck with fish shops, do you, Mr Ripper?

Or club shops.....

Mind he only went to the club shop 'cos he thought he could find something heavy to hit prostitutes with......

Aren't Verrill's chips dead greasy? They were last time I was there.
Lush as owt.

This has happened to me before.

Verrills frustrates the life out of me. They're open for about 16 hours a week in total, they get shitloads of custom, yet they have no idea how to plan for a frying session.

And what is the ticket queueing system all about? Why not take the money off someone after they've been served with the food, like every other chip shop in the world? How they operate at the moment almost causes rucks between pensioners who have been waiting for a half lot, and one mistakenly goes before the other one.

I only go there because they are the best in town in my opinion, if someone can recommend anywhere better please let me know.

had exactly the same problem in there nottingham, i paid for my chips and not being a headland resident or a regular in there presumed once i was served with cash i would then be served with chips....

WRONG!!

i'm just stood there minding my own business and some daft bat starts shouting at me, i was just like excuse me but what the hell are you screaming about, it's a bloody bag of chips!!!
