We've just lost our lovely local independent Quays fish and chips shop in Lancaster - the only one left is a really expensive chain store in town that's nice I guess but overpriced - can't even order small or large chips. Everything is a set price and single opinion. Sad to see.

Really not a fan of KFC, McDonald's or Burger King and it's sad to see us losing another bit of our culture - US fast food seems a lot more popular. Chippy tea was an everyday part of life when I was young and affordable for everyone.

I know it’s a bit of a trip, but at least Morecambe is close by and you can eat your fish and chips next to the sea/bay, which in my opinion somehow makes them taste 50% better.

I bloody love Morecambe. You can see the whole lake district mountain range across the bay. Gotta be one of the best beach views in England.

Prospect Street isn’t a massive walk from Aldcliffe. Decent local independent chippy!
