Captain Thornton's Chapel Allerton Ltd

Head up to Chapel Allerton and you'll find Captain Thornton's doing what it does best: turning out consistently brilliant fish and chips. This is the kind of place where regulars know their order by heart and the queue snakes out the door on a Friday night. You're looking at traditional takeaway done properly—proper mushy peas, curry sauce that doesn't taste like it came from a packet, and chips that are properly golden. It's unpretentious, no-frills stuff, the sort of spot that's been feeding Chapel Allerton and beyond for years without needing to reinvent itself.
