The chips were fresh the peas amazing, the batter slightly soggy but not a put off. The girls who served us were very friendly
We both went or the wraps and chips with cheese cake dessert. Fantastic value for money. The wrap was delicious. I know most chippies have decent chips but these hold there crunch are not covered in oil and you get a good hearty bit of potato inside. Can’t wait to go back and try it again
I normally go to Tino's on Cowbridge Road as it's just around the corner from my house, but he's closed for Christmas so I grabbed my phone and took a walk down to Oh My Cod on Nolton St. for my usual Friday fish and chips. I didn't take any cash or any of my cards as I intended to use Google Pay on my phone as it's 2022 and everywhere accepts cards.
Unfortunately, Oh My Cod was closed. The only other one in walking distance was The Chipyard. I wasn't going to bother at first because I thought my fish and chips would end up cold after walking all the way home. But I really wanted my Friday grub so I walked down there anyway.
Even though I thought it was obvious that I could pay by card, I thought I'd better check, so I asked the lady behind the counter. She told me no, it was cash only.
What business in this day and age accepts cash only? I had a quick look around to see if I had suddenly travelled back in time. Nope, I wasn't in a cave. The staff weren't wearing animal skins or cooking over a pile of logs. I checked outside to see if Fred Flintstone was waiting for his next delivery, but nothing.
I walked back home empty-handed, trying to think of an alternative name for The Chipyard, maybe something with a stone age theme.
It was only when I went to write a review that I realised what a lucky escape I'd had. Most of the other reviews are saying how awful the food is. And they are quite recent too, none of them were written by Noah, or Jesus.
So I've no idea what the chips are like, and I never got the chance to try the battered Dodo or the dinosaur curry.
After that experience, I never will.
