    Dont know if its open yet, just noticed the sign above the door from the main road, and the lights were on.


    Apologies if this has been posted, I didnt see it if it was.

    A bit of an understatement.

    Before it closed over 5 years ago now it was located beside the Library in Balbriggan. Brilliant chipper - the best for miles...

    It's owned and run by the same people who own the Deli Burger. Exactly the same menu and chips.

    Exactly? Hows anyone supposed to know that? Must have a gander!

    The same people own and run the chipper in Stamullen as well and it's not a patch on the old Pop In.:( I must try the one in Balrothery.:)

    Let us know how you get on, pop in used to be the Chipper in town, better than the others by far ... I don't think I could take it if the new Pop In didn't do chips as good as the old one. I've been harping on to the missus about it for so long, she never got the chance to have them before it closed. I wonder if I've been looking at it with rose tinted glasses.

    As they say "Nostalgia isn't as good as it used to be..." :)

    Not exactly the same chips, no. Pop Inn's chips were legendary.

    how were the different?

    don't get me wrong, I live in Balrothery and it is great to have the Pop Inn down the road but seriously the Pop Inn (even the old one) and Deli Burger are much of a muchness. Both have lovely chips that go up in price every year.

    When the Pop In closed a while back and George's Square was being renovated we had no choice than to gravitate to the Deli Burger. Honestly there was a world of difference in the chips. Still have to try the new Pop In though so I can't comment. We'll do a taste test with a bag from each so.
    Any suggestions on the scoring criteria? ;)

    I wonder will it have the same after chip entertainmant as the pop in, the open air boxing ring on the square was as much a reason for the fame as the chips......;)
