Friendly North Cross Road chip shop man

[n_m_jones]

Does anyone else appreciate the friendliness of the owner of the North Cross Road chip shop? He always offers a 'lovely fresh chip' to try while you wait. I think he's an East Dulwich treasure.

[maxxi]

Indeed - big fan of Emily's; friendliness personified and if you ring beforehand he'll even fry to order so you don't have to wait around.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

He is adorable.

[TheArtfulDogger]

he is always waving when I walk past

you just have to stop and pop in e wry so often for lo Ely fresh chips

hmmmmm

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Battered and deep fried a hamburger for me once. Not many chippies round these parts will do that. Lovely guy and lovely fresh chips.

[Only me!]

always had good food & great service from here.

& when you ask for a large cod ...... boy is it large!

[Pugwash]

Armed is a lovely guy, I think he knows the name of all his customers. If you are advertising an event he will always put up a poster for you. He donated a prize for a raffle - 2 free fish and chip meals. The winners were delighted.

Food good as well

Does he do a king rib supper with salt and sauce?

If not, any ideas where I could get one?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Not found anywhere down here that stocks the delights of a Scottish chippie Gimme. I'm heading up the road tomorrow and on top of my to do list is a black pudding supper.

he's got seating in the back now so you can eat in in comfort.

He's a lovely lovely man and he once gave us a free pie because we had ordered one fish between us and he must have thought we were paupers (not far off the truth).

Sorry to say I'm not too fond of his chips though (soggy) - maybe I've just been there at the wrong times.

I have always found him a friendly bloke - but I stopped visiting quite so often after hearing his claims that Kurdistan is the new Israel and that Jews are buying up Istanbul as part of some grand conspiracy

[Gavain]

black puddin supper id forgot aboot them!!, i hear the latest is deep fried sandwiches off all things.

[Crystal Matt]

He's he's a lovely guy from Northern Cyprus

Northern Cypriots are well represented in the trades in ED, and are all , of those I've met, really nice people.

I only occasionally buy chips, though I love them

and I've forgoten his name ;-(

Does this affect the chips then?

[Nicholas Spears]

I thought the thread was entitled 'Friendly North Cross Road chip shop man' rather than 'Great chips on North Cross Road'. And call me controversial, but I don't always find a desire to spread global jewish conspiracy theories conducive to friendship. Particularly if you're jewish.

He does them extra crispy if you ask. Yes, lovely bloke.

[katie1997]

I used to feel guilty for hardly ever buying any chips from there but yes, the friendly waves from the guys in Emily's were part of what I loved about living in East Dulwich.

And only now I discover that they will do the chips 'extra crispy' if only I'd asked :)

[Pickle]

I always ask for extra crispy (verging on burnt), my kiwi palate is far too refined for soggy British chips ;-)

All of the local shops are happy to oblige. Now if only I could find a paua pattie and onion sausage I'd be happy.

[the-e-dealer]

His wife is called Emily

[julie.t]

assuming you must be scottish,i used to love that when i was about 14. lunchtime special,that and deep fried half a pizza,ha.

[Sue]

Black pudding supper, white pudding supper, haggis supper, pie supper - those were the days.

Emily's has got nothing on Greasy Pete's up the Perth Road in Dundee :))

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Pey supper Sue, it's Pey! Washed doon wi fave pints o Hivvy!

[the-e-dealer]

Emilys is a little more convenient.

[bonaome]

Ahmed (sp?) is great. The other guy in there is lovely too. He always takes the skin off the fish for me.

Fish and chips tonight then!
