Leeds' oldest chippy in millionaire village where Leeds United footballers are regulars
Nestled in a quaint Leeds village, with colossal country mansions, home to Leeds United super stars, sits an old fish and chip shop which hasn’t stopped trading for 111 years.
Those who’ve grown up in the upmarket village will have fond memories of being given a ‘chip on a stick’ while waiting for their order to be deep-fried in beef dripping and packaged up. Mark says his mother Hazel started this tradition when working with dad Geoffrey behind the counter. Mark said: “Lots of the Leeds players live in Shadwell. They like their fish and chips do the footballers.”
Mark said: “We get in Stuart Dallas and Pontus Jansson used to come in. Jansson asked ‘What’s curry sauce?’ We said ‘ours is Chinese and you’ll like it’. We put some in a pot for him and he drank it! He ended up ordering it with his food.”
