WHO needs deep-fried Mars bars (or even the occasional battered haddock) when you can enjoy an entire Christmas dinner fresh from the sizzling frier? That’s the big festive selling point at The Chippy on Burton Road.
This West Didsbury institution has long been the place to seek out black pudding fritters and the like but are battered brussel sprouts and crispy coated stuffing balls a treat too far?
They are the accompaniment to deep-fried turkey, centrepiece of the limited edition Chippy Christmas Dinner, being served from Tuesday, December 10 until Sunday, January 5 2020.
Featuring a Northern chippy spin on classic festive favourites, the Limited Edition Christmas Specials Menu also includes a giant ‘Pig in a Duvet’, a ‘Turkey and Stuffing Fritter’ and ‘Brie & Cranberry Parcels’.
Those with a larger appetite will be tempted by the restaurant’s ‘Blow Out Christmas Platter’, which will include a Turkey and Vegetarian Christmas Dinner, served with lashings of Chips and Gravy. All this is available to dine in, take out and on Deliveroo, including deep-fried Christmas pudding with ice cream (above)). Mulled cider is dine in only.
Chippy on Burton Road co-owner Liz Bookbinder told us: “A Chippy Tea is a great treat for every week of the year but we decided to put a festive twist on it this Christmas. We had a lot of fun coming up with the recipes and testing them – we’re especially pleased with our epic ‘Pig in a Duvet’innovation.
