Chips is chips? Wrong!

I visited the Great British Eatery near Five Ways last night first because our kitchen is our of bounds while building work is carried out and secondly because I've been desperate to try the place, which offers high-quality British classics such as pie and mash, sausages and, of coure, fish and chips.

The battered haddock I ate was fabulous - moist, flaky and fresh. The chips, cooked in beef dripping, were so good that I continued eating long after I was full.

There'll be a review in Food + Drink in the paper soon.

I despaired on this site some weeks ago about the difficulty in finding good quality fish and chips in this city. Now, it seems, my prayers may have been answered.

The Great British Eatery is a new takeaway (with a few seats and tables) at Broadway Plaza, Five Ways, which offers freshly prepared fish and chips plus other (no surprise) British classics such as bangers and mash.

I just chatted to one of its co-founders Conrad Brunton, who's worked at the Fat Duck and Simpson's and seems passoonately committed to quality.
