The best chips in Tipp

    A very important topic, this!

    I nominate the chipper in Tipp Town that is just up from the small Cashel roundabout on the main street. Up until a few months ago it was in a blue and gold building, but they have moved next door since January. Delicious chips.

    (Lyons in Clonmel = good but over-rated in my opinion).

    I also have a soft spot for the Roma Cafe in Cahir, but that's probably only because it's my local ;)

    Arons in Carrick,some taco chips in there.
    The chipper in Clerahan is good also.
    stay clear of Luigis in the the M/S shopping center in Clonmel,awful stuff.

    Proper Italian chipper
    Lots of Italian soccer players on the wall and flags

    Knowing the route well,you must love someone an awful lot to do that trek.

    Oh sorry, +1 for the chipper in Ballyclerihan.

    I wouldn't think much of Aarons chips, but their fish and wraps are the best.
    Robertos in Carrick do great chips and chicken

    I agree with you on Luigis in Clonmel, total let down!

    Anyone fancy the chips out of the Emerald Garden in Clonmel (just the chips mind you)?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,240 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Roma Café in Cahir

    Lyons in Clonmel

    Mayfair after a night out in Clonmel


  • Registered Users Posts: 339 ✭✭DaveJac

    McBurgers in Tipp Town
    Lyons in Clonmel

    Another vote for Roma in Cahir here too :) I'm not there very often any more but really love it when I do get chips there :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭JabbaTheHut


    Can't remember the right name for it, but Enzo's in Cahir can have EXCELLENT chips, and then at other times, just OK chips. Pity it being so hit and miss.

    The Roma; still don't go in there very often after that Pig that used to run it for years. I'd starve, rather than give him my money. I know he's gone a while now, but old habbits die hard. :)

    On a side note, does anyone remember his sisters pizzaeria on Castle Streeet? Maria's Pizzaeria. Had really nice pizza's, but same attitude to the customers as her brother.

    Is that place not closed now ?

    Thought that the whole "shopping centre" (Spar shop etc) closed a few months ago ?

    no just the centra was closed, the owner of the building and the person running the centra fell out so I was told.

    Good, good chips alright.
    BTW the 2 developers that bought/owned/developed the whole place fell out.
    I think that the guy in the Centra just couldn't afford the rent(or the increased rent) which was a shame cos it was badly needed in Clerihan.

    I can tell you that the guy I'm talking about is not a nice man, never mind a very nice man. He was there for years. He owned the place I think. From the 80's through to the 90's he was the most arrogant, and ignorant PIG in the I've ever met. I personally know some people that worked there, and have the same thing to say about him. A lot of people worked there over the years, and I can't think of any that were like him. They were very pleasant. Maybe it's one of these you might be talking about.

    He used never do pizzas, until when his sister open up her pizzeria, he started to do them. That's the kind of person he was.

    I'm told he was eventually done for tax evasion, and I believe he's back in Italy now. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    Ah ya, I know who your on about now..There have been 2 owners since him. Ya, you're right about the tax thing and yeah, the family is gone back to Italy!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭JabbaTheHut


    There's been two owners since then? I never knew that.

    There used to be a chipper in Tipp town called Sargent Peppers, I think, and it had great chips. They even opened a branch in Cahir for a short while, a long time ago now. Are they still there in Tipp?

    What's the name of that chipper that stays open til after 1am on the main street of Tipp Town? Has been used by me in the wee hours a few times. Often a rough crew hanging around outside though. Not bad as far as chippers go.

    McBurgers? Just at the traffic lights


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,071 ✭✭✭questionmark?


    Parnell in Clonmel is mighty for chips or a battered sausage as well as the pizzas. Lyons is nice but overrated.

    The Pike in Thurles aint too bad either but then again havent being near the place in about two years so dont know if its still the same.

    Pepe's in Killenaule do a nice bag of chips.

    That place in Clerihan is nice as well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,632 ✭✭✭ormond lad


    marios across from tesco is best in nenagh


  • Registered Users Posts: 492 ✭✭daniels.ducks


    the chipper in clerihan puts the chips in a plastic container which turns them all soggy
    the roma in cahir has nice chips but it depends on who's serving. if the small ignorant man is in there it's not worth eating the chips because you will be so mad after the way he has treated you. the taller one of his sons is a very nice man.
    what about sparky's in fethard, easily the best chipper. freshly battered cod, lovely chips, nice service.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32 radagast


    You're all wrong lads, bar one. frydays is the best chipper in nenagh - and honestly I wouldn't go into Mama's to even spend a penny.

    great fresh cod and chips there!!

    also Nino's in Templemore, who now do potato scallops, great garlic cheese chips and great fresh cod & chips.

    I have lost so much weight from not eating there anymore :D
