Home to some of the best chippies around, Preston can lay claim to having some outstanding local eateries from which the city’s hungry folk an source a good old fashioned chippy tea. But, delving into the past somewhat, what about the ‘90s ad ‘00s chippies from our childhoods? See if you remember a few of these… plus some are still going strong.
And, as reader Angela Brand commented on one of our fish and chips-based stories: “Had fish and chips last night!” After all, you can’t beat a chippy!
