Nicks Takeaway

Nick's Takeaway holds the corner shop unit at the top of Carnforth Parade, the small residential row at the corner of Carnforth Crescent that sits between Wybers Wood and Little Coates on the western edge of Grimsby. It is a hybrid chippy-kebab-pizza shop of the kind that dominates outer Grimsby — fish and chips on the main board, pizzas to one side, doner kebabs, southern-fried chicken and burgers filling out the rest of the menu so a household can stretch a single order across the lot.

The shop trades through both lunch and evening sittings — unusual for the parade-takeaway pattern, which usually skews to evenings only — and works the local catchment of the surrounding terraced housing along with the steady passing footfall from the Premier convenience store on the same parade. Reviews on Yelp and the Grimsby Telegraph directory are sparse but consistent: the place is judged on portion size, on the speed of the fry, and on the breadth of choice rather than on any particular signature dish.

Frying-oil and a fresh fry are the standard markers here, with the fish moving through the Grimsby trade. Delivery covers the immediate Wybers Wood and Little Coates streets.
