Golden Fry

Golden Fry sits a few doors along from Paprika Tandoori on the Laceby Road parade, the small shopping row at the western edge of Grimsby where Laceby Acres meets the open countryside out towards Laceby village. The two together cover the obvious evening-order split for the surrounding housing — chippy on one corner, curry house on the other — and customers in the area tend to use them interchangeably depending on the week.

The board is a hybrid chippy: fish and chips lead, with cod and haddock fried to order, mushy peas, scampi and a short pie counter, and pizza, burgers and kebabs added to the menu so a household order can stretch across all the obvious options. Like most Grimsby chippies the fish moves through the local trade — the docks are one of the country's main landing points for white fish — and the headline cod-and-chips is the dish reviewers come back to.

The shop trades through both lunch and evening sittings, with a later weekend close, and delivery covers the immediate Laceby Acres housing and the streets running back along Laceby Road towards central Grimsby.
