Curly's potatoes

You're walking down Bridge Street towards the town centre when the smell hits you—hot oil, salt, vinegar. That's your cue to duck into Curly's and join the queue of locals who know what's what. This isn't some twee gastropub doing artisanal hand-cut chips. This is honest fast food done right: golden, crispy curly fries that somehow stay fluffy inside, exactly the kind of thing you want at half ten on a Friday night or when you've got fifteen minutes between errands. The fact it's got a perfect 5-star rating from forty reviews tells you everything—Banbury takes its chip shops seriously, and Curly's delivers.
