I've been told the staff training at the O&O is to a very high standard.

Shame the food isn't

For fish and chips locally I heartily recommend the Perfect Plaice on Union Road at Oswaldtwistle.

Holly Tree Chippy isn't bad either.

The general standard of chip shops has improved dramatically in my opinion.

Sadly living in the Midlands now they don't gravy What is that all about

Don't tell me that you didn't check that before you flit???

btw My daughter likes gravy with her fish and chips gav! Can't say it's ever appealed to me. Gravy is for chips and steak pudd with a large glug of vinegar.

Went to Checco's in May for my birthday, was very good I felt!

After a good drink a doner disappears that fast I have to count my fingers afterwards.

Was in a chippy in Blackpool a few years ago with a friend who'd come up from London.

She ordered fish n' chips, pointed at the mushy peas and said 'could I have guacamole with that?'

I like Checcos too, best tomato and garlic focaccia ever, could eat them all night.

They now do chicken cacciatore spicy (with chillie) if you ask, loved it last time I had it.

A pal I went with had a steak, it looked superb! I had to make do with my spicy pizza which after a couple of pints sailed down my gullet!

Clayton Street chippy in Great Harwood takes some beating. You can eat in and they still do rag pudding.

It's just not the same, Clayton street chippy mid 90's is still the holy grail of fish and chips for me.

We used to go every Saturday before a rovers game and eat in.

Be wary...........

Don't want to single them out unfairly but a couple of notable inclusions caught my eye... Lily Mae's in Accy and Brendan Anderton Butchers Longridge.

....and the fish stall on Blackburn Market.

Interesting that Kate Hollern is calling for councils to step up enforcement, does she not realise that trading standard departments have been decimated by the Tory cuts, if she doesn't she should!

Apparently The Pack (formerly The Packhorse) is in the final of a 'best pizza in England' award.

I went about 18 months ago, it was very poor indeed, not an Italian in site, just loud Blackburn waiting on staff discussing what they did at the weekend.

Maybe its improved now, changed its name even.

I dont mind the food at the pack but its about as authenitic as a can of Heinz spaghetti.

[thenodrog]

I dislike going out for Italian food tbh. I find it overrated and overpriced but I can make an exception for antipasto on a hot day with a glass of fine wine.

The antipasto at Checcos is very good
