just john Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Curiously the custom built Harry Ramsdens on a prestigious site at Cribbs Causeway shopping centre Bristol, was recently closed and redeveloped into a new office block. Perhaps the developers greased their palms for the plaice because there was batter returns[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Seriously - now that is sad. As someone brought up about 20 mns drive from the "original" (to me the only) Harry Ramsden's - ie at Guiseley - it was "the place" to be taken after a trip to Leeds or Bradford, to see the pantomine .... pressie from the tree - I was always very worried when they expanded.... agree - it really is the end of the world.

JSKS Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Back in the 60s, on a very special occasion, we would get into Dad's Ford consul, 3 of us, joined by the family next door, all 5 of them and rattle off to Guiseley in our best clothes - suits and ties and everything. Once a year if we were lucky. What a dreadfully sad life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I went to one once, many years ago, just outside Leeds. I had heard that they produced the best fish and chips ever. Unfortunately neither I nor the rest of the group I was with thought so and most of it went in the bin, a very disappointing experience. I read somewhere that the best fish and chips are normally from shops run by Chinese. I don't know if in general this is true but certainly our local one (in Kent) was and it was very good, nice batter and wonderful crispy chips.

idun Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have never had any HR's fish and chips and frankly I have been disappointed with a couple of the fish and chip restos in Whitby, including the Magpie. However, there is a take and eat chippy in Whitby that is marvellous. Good fish and chips, I do really enjoy them from time to time. JK I bet you would really look forward to that treat when you were young, and that is not sad at all, even looking back on it it shouldn't be.
