College Fryer

My first thought on my first visit to the College Fryer in Crosby was ‘I hope their name is related to their location and not to the competence of the staff there’. The last thing anybody wants us some greasy, grumpy youth battering your fish and salting your chips (not that it’s a particularly refined art, but still).
Thankfully, the former is the case at the College Fryer as the staff there are all friendly, attentive and more than capable of cooking your fish and chips to perfection. As you might imagine, College Fryer offers the usual selection of chippy favourites for its customers to pick from, all available at fairly cheap prices. Their chips are pretty good and their fish is tasty, even if their batter to fish ratio hasn’t quite been perfected.
There’s not a shortage of chippies down College Road, or Crosby in general, but if you’re in the area you could do a lot worse than College Fryer.

This chippy has been around for years, I think as long as I have lived here. The shop is really clean and serves all the usual classics including pies and sausages. Despite the competition with others nearby, it’s busy day and night and while I’m not a big fan of fish and chips, they do serve very nice mushy peas, and I am told that the chips are very good. It’s very reasonably priced and you don’t have to wait long for your order. It’s a little far from the beach to enjoy a real seaside feast but it’s only a short stroll from two local parks.

Average family run chippy. The food is edible, but nothing special. Seems to be the service is normally fairly slow. Nothing to shout about.
