In County Durham, there's a place called Esh Winning and has a coal fired shop called Fields. It's been open and ran by the same family for 105 years. I eat from there weekly and it's literally the best place. Food is cooked in beef dripping and the fish is freshly caught from the North Sea.

A queue waiting along the street is always a good sign.

These are the places that make you proud to be British. Good old chippy with history and banging food

Coal Fired Chippy in Beamish Museum (Davys), Cooked in Beef Dripping too. Well worth a try.

Watching this at 2am and now I'm seriously craving fish and chips 😂

I'm American and have fallen in love with this mans energy and sense of humor! He takes his own table and chair to his review of eateries! Nobody does this in America or anywhere else that I know of. It's fabulous! You have privacy, and can give your review without restaurant staff hovering over you.

The chippy at Boddam near Peterhead in Scotland had a coal fired range when I was a teenager. Fish straight off the boats. spuds from the fields round the village. Wonderful.

My grandmother had a fish and chip shop in and just after WWII and it was fired with coal. My mum said they had to carry the coal in every day, my grandfather used to do it before he went to the war in N. Africa with the 8th army. and get the fire started early to melt the beef dripping in which everything was cooked. My gran made the best chips and deep fried roasties. She started working in the cotton mills when she was 13.

I remember Heston Blumenthal attempting to cook the 'best fish and chips' - he analysed which fish, batter and potatoes to use......but never bothered about what they were fried in or fried on - just shows these fancy chefs know nowt! Can't beat fish and chips cooked in beef dripping on a coal fired range!

Beamish in County Durham still does coal fired fish and chips. I believe there's one in Esh Winning as well (also in County Durham).

My grandparents had a fish and chip shop in Glasgow in the 1940s. Frank Ford coal fired range. They had to cut their chips by hand after peeling potatoes. They also gutted their haddock by hand. Hard way to make a living.

Along the road from me is Beamish Museum and they have a fish and chip shop that dates back to 1937 called Davys fish and chips. It closed from its former location and rebuilt in the 1900s pit village area.

Many years ago I used to own a fencing company and we had a fencing supply and fit job on the newish estate behind you, well as a treat for the lads on the job with me I treated them to fish and chips from there. Must say we all enjoyed them but we were that full after eating them that we got very little work done afterwards so had to go back the next day to finish the job off which cost me an extra days labour but was well worth it.

Fields - Esh Winning is Coal fired fish and chips, there is also a coal-fired Fish and chip shop at Beamish Museum..

I live in a village near Durham called Esh Winning,we still have coal fired chippy called Fields,still going strong.
