The Great Yorkshireman

Think you can’t enjoy a fish supper, because you don’t drive and live too far from the chippy? Think again — I’ve sussed it. Last Friday I was in serious need of a huge portion of fish and chips (yes, I said need) and decided to trawl the Just Eats for something to satisfy that.
After discovering seven places that deliver, I found six that also serve up burgers, pizza, kebabs and other such items. My judgement was that I’d be best off going with a purist, given that they’d likely specialise, and so clicked on to The Great Yorkshireman.
The menu is simple — everything you’d expect from a standard chippy — right down to the pots of curry sauce and mushy peas. Perfect. The only downside is that if you’re eating solo, you’ve to decide whether or not to purchase a whole bunch of things, or go hungry. I chose to be greedy. Go large or go home. Or, stay at home with nothing. Anyway, I digress.
So, I ordered a fish and chips, a dandelion and burdock drink, curry sauce, mushy peas, a spam fritter and a battered sausage. Loads and loads of food. The delivery suggested 40 minutes, but even in the snow storm, the food arrived before the specified time, which pleased me no end. The chap even rang to check he’d found me!
All wrapped up in chippy paper was a great feast — the portions are excellent for what you pay, and I was particularly grateful for this, since I was off out on an ale trail that very evening. The peas were a touch watery, and the fish a little soggy, but considering it was delivered I didn’t mind at all. In fact, that being the case, it was marvellous that parts were still crispy!
The fish tasted grand, the chips were fluffy chippy chips (not the best I’ve had, but certainly good ones) and the curry sauce was delicious. Notably, having never tried a spam fritter before, I was really delighted with it. It was an odd thing so enjoying something that is probably the least healthy thing I’ve ever had. It was crispy, salty, and incredible more-​ish.
Essentially, I’m a real fan. It isn’t the best f&c I’ve had in Leeds, but it’s the only one I know of that actually deliver, and that’s awesome. They’re tasty, generous, fast, and will satisfy that craving. Give ‘em a go.
