It’s not five star sure, but it’s competitive
I might be today after our post Man City experience.
Post game The Boy and myself saved our Saturday tea hunger so that we could bring home some fish and chips. At just after 8.30 on this Saturday night we walked down Boundary Rd to the Athena B.
Me: "Can I have one chicken and chips and one cod and chips please?"
Serving Lady "I'll just check..............................................sorry we can't do that at the moment"
Me: "Are you out of chicken?"
Her: "No we don't have any chips left"
Me: "Wait - you're a fish and chip shop?"
Her "yes..."
Me "With no chips?"

Warwick Services M40 Thursday 4th November 2021. Burger King meal £9.99. Think that's more expensive than Geneva. And no, I didn't buy it. KFC ripped me off less.

The famous Athena B without chips.Does this shop close at 9 and they couldn’t be bothered to fry any more, or just run out?

Supposedly "cooked to order".
I'd have thunk that 8.30 would be part of the rush but then I'm basing that on pre-kids in some by-gone era staggering out of The Nightingale at about 10.55 and getting some "chips with sore finger" from Sing Li for the train home.
All 3 chip shops in Newhaven close at 9pm, I definitely remember buying chips late when I lived in Brighton.
Can't remember the name of it but there's a chippy on Portland Rd that is open something like 12-2pm, 4-9pm. That seems more like a hobby than a business!

There was someone on Twitter this week that did a review of the Amex, he got untold abuse because he wasn’t very kind about the pies
Photo is a screenshot from his video.
Yep l saw that video. If l used the medium l would be twatting abusive replies too as a Piglets afficianado.

Those are pretty decent hours actually, there are a couple in Horsham that don't even bother opening at lunch time.
Accidental Partridge, or am I doing you a disservice and you knew exactly what you were doing?

Complete with exhorbitant interest rates, and retribution by baseball bat if not paid back on time.

Flippin eck, that's akin to a pub running out of beer, or a filling station running out of petrol.
Is there a national shortage of Maris Pipers now?
He definitely triggered many for slagging off the pies
Not many seemed bothered with his comments about the stadium.

Fancy that pint later?
LOL...I did
I paid £14.50 for a cheeseburger and chips in a country pub near Polegate the other month. Ok it was table service but even so..... I also regularly pay more for a pint of Harveys in Lewes Pubs than I do at the Amex. So now I walk straight past one on my way to Lewes Station as beer is cheaper at the Amex.
Didn't think I'd ever write that.
Do you think the pint of Harvey’s tastes as nice in plastic at the Amex?
I no longer drink but I could never get on with drinking Harvey’s at the Amex after having a pint served in a glass in a pub.

The average shut down time for a chippy in Worthing is 9.30pm nowdays, kebabs/burger places much later but in my day it was standard to have a sausage and chips on the way home from the pub about 10-10-30 ish.
