a tricky one when it comes to the Meat Pie option...whatever blends best with the gush of hot liquid fat you get from the pie....probably best if ya form a little chip water break and gravy the other end of the tray.

I am really sorry as a true Ecclesian to let you down on the gravy front!!
No idea about the Hope Chippy.
The one opposite The Drop Inn has gone
Parrin Lane there are two there, neither of which I have been in to.
Mario's was taken over and I am not sure about them.
The one at the end of Shakespeare Crescent has also gone. Although Wangies is still going strong.
The one on Patty Bridge is still there and, although I've not been in since before the lockdown, it was still a good chippy and they would always put extra salt and vinegar on the chips for me! ;-) That place has special memories for me as well. My sister, my step-mother and myself went into there the night before my Dad died and, because we were under a heck of a lot of stress, my sister had a mini-'breakdown' which was absolutely hilarious!! She and my step-mother could not stop laughing at something the young lady said that they had misheard and my sister literally slid down the counter and I was standing there desperately trying to keep a straight face!! (Disgraceful I know!!)

Mr Choo's is still there and they still do great fish and chips, pudding and chips and meat and tatta pie and chips....again with extra salt and vinegar!! Mind you again I haven't been in since before lockdown but my neighbour was in there a couple of weeks ago.

What years were you at St Pat's? Did you know any of the Nolan boys or my sister? They were all rag supporters unfortunately. I let them down as well...or they let me down as I am the eldest!! :-)
Right, now you are caught up on the chippies in Eccles we can let the others have their thread back. :-) ;-)

Some old pals of mine from Eccles always called chippy sausage a 'Jack Charlton'....from an 80.s documentary where jack revealed all in dressing room footage....can you confirm?

Well I'll be sure to visit Mr Choo next time I come for a wander over the (new) Glass Bridge.

I went to St. Pat's in the early 90's. I knew a pair of twins called Kevin and Joanne Nolan.

Aha after my siblings time. Late 70s early 80s the last one left. The decorative work on the (new) glass bridge was designed by the pupils at Ellesmere Park when I was Chair of Governors there so, as you can imagine, I am extremely proud of it. :-)
