Debarras in Blarnry is very nice. Daniels in Kanturk is awful and they always get the order wrong because no of them speak proper english. The new take away on Church street is very nice. Its called Jimmy dees.

Dante Pizza(the kentucky) in Mallow is very nice too.

FYI dont ever stop in Millstreet all the takeaways there are horrible.

Never had a problem with orders in Daniels and no problem with the food. Jimmy Dees seems to be just another tasteless frozen chips chipper from the two occasions I've eaten there

TBH I havent been in Daniels in months but I went to Jimmy Dees earlier and it was pure dung. Exactly as you described..:p

Bring back Mattie Kiely, spotted him last week eating in the Luyan in Douglas , brought back memories as a young lad having the banter with Matty over greasy chips and burgers

O Connels take away in Coachford is bloody fine. Chips are gprgeous and the fresh fish is savage

morra31

Yeah it's still there, it's called Ceohanes or Cahanes. Very nice. No fancy stuff, just chips, chicken, fish and sausages and potatoe pies.

My favourite has to be Denny's near the Supervalue in Glanmire.
Lovely chips.

I tried Jimmy dees a few months ago and will go to no other chipper now. The food is fantastic, it's an original traditional Irish chipper with the best real freshly cut chips and superb food. The place is spotlessly clean and with the tables and seating they have it's a perfect place to bring my kids they love it, my daughter is 10 in July and that's where she is having her party. Fair play to Jimmy Dees they have really raised the bar for chippers and given the people of Kanturk a proper service we deserve at last.

Must have changed so. I was there twice and both times was frozen chips. I'm not a big chip eater but when I do it must be fresh cut and that put me off. Must try again sometime see the change.

That is pretty much in line with my experiences and with what I've heard from others.

Dinos in Douglas are always nice. Their food is always hot unlike other chippers that I have gone to. They also give up plenty so no worries of being left hungry!

It was lovley at the start. I suppose its like everything else good at the start and then it goes down hill. I cannot see them lasting as their is way too many chippers in Kanturk.

What about Chicken Lover????:D:D You would want to be a braave man to sample that if it ever reopens..

I stopped there once before. I thought it was revolting. The chips were soggy and the SFC was revolting.

went to the new enzos last sunday got a lunch box, a kango would have been handy the chicken was tough as old boots, the original enzos is now called sharons, the woman that took it over owns abrakebabra in wilton, my friend tried it and said the food was brutal

There used to be a mobile chipper in Kilbrin near Kanturk a few years ago excellent food cleanest mobile chipper I've ever seen. I think it was called Danny's takeaway. I have not seen it in a while any body know where they are gone?

I ate there once just after it opened first, chicken was good, chips dire. Couldn't imagine trying it again after closing and reopening though...

KC's in Douglas or Lennox's

Hmmm. A trip to Bandon sounds in order..:)

DanWall

Just one tip, I keep telling them to wrap in paper and not those polystyrene containers, it makes the fish go soggy.

Jonti

You've tried the rest,now goto the BEST. Cronin's in Castletownbere, the fish cannot get any fresher, and it's a great price. Sit inor take away.
No, he's not a relative!

There's a place in the mallow on the right hand side of the street as you go towards the Black and white building at the end of the street, kinda next door to a man's shop - sorry can't remember the name, they do the most fab chips with cheese and their quarter pounders with cheese are scrummy, well they were anyway, it's about 2 and 1/2 years since I was there!!!! Hand cut chips from real spuds, none of those frozen yokes, with lashings of grated cheese.

Anyone tell me the name of the place?

Might be the Kentucky, fit's the description anyway..

Thanks Mossie, ya that was probably it! Would love one of their chips with cheese now!

Frank'sin Carrigtwohill served me well one night after getting a flat tire in the rain on the dual carriageway!!

Lennox's for me has gone right downhill lately. Very hit and miss since this time last year... maybe I'm just used to the taste at this stage but chips aren't what they used to be and the fish is a rush job and not cooked properly sometimes. Disappointing!

Ceohane's in Midleton is THE BEST old fashioned chip shop. They've raised their prices a bit now though.. but still worth it. Chips, chicken, sausages, fish and pies. And that's it. One time my boyfriend asked them if they ever thought of doing chips and cheese/chips and curry and the guy with the grey hair just replied with... "Can you batter cheese? Can you batter curry? Then it wouldn't work on our menu".

Legend!!

I love the lingo used in Ceohanes. If you want a regualar chip you ask for a "bag". If you want a small chip you ask for a "half bag" and if you want a large chip you ask for a "bag and a half". If you want a breast of chicken you ask for a "portion". You will get battered sausages unless you specifically ask for plain ones. Potato pie is just "a pie" and a battered fish is just "a fish"
Fastest service here I have ever witnessed. All wrapped up in sheets of white paper. Lovely taste, great chips that taste different to the norm, might be the fat they use, wonder is it lard ??? :pac::pac::pac::pac::D
Portions not huge these days, fish seems to be getting constantly smaller.

Where exactly is Ceohanes? Must try there and the kentucky soon!!

Mags in Coachford is a decent enough chipper but the stories about the place would nearly put you off the place. Anyway
Spud Murphy's/O'Connell's/Cal's/Barney's (whatever it is called now, changes owner every fornight seemingly) is much a better chipper in my opinion.

Fat Jack's in Blarney gets an honourable mention but the best chipper in Cork for me, is Lennox's in town. Absolutely savage chipper.

Chish N Fips in Crosshaven = EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, No, NO! You're all wrong!

Best in Cork has to be the Golden Fry in Ballinlough. Haven't been there in a few years so maybe it's gone now.

Honorable mention to KC's, Gills in Cobh and to a much lesser extent Lennox's and Dinos

Golden Fry has gone to pot, it was woeful last time I was there.

KC's in Douglas is pretty class, as is the chipper in Cobh run by the Italians (couldn't tell you the name, it's on the square thing across from where Titanic bar was... )

+1 on Golden Fry. I got a portion of chips last week and it was literally just over a handfull.

I disagree with you on KC's. KC's used to be one of the best chippers in Cork. But once again their portions have become tiny. A Creole used to fill me up completely. it was a meal in itself. Now you would need a portion of chips with it or something in order for it to substantially fill you.

IMO one of the most under rated chipper in Cork is Dinos in the back douglas village. Their chips are amazing and the 2 king Dino meals for €10 is a sweet deal. Portions are huge

That would be Mimos.

Awful chips!


Sorry to hear that about Golden Fry. I went to go to school around the corner and used to get chips on a friday for 30p.
