Taylors Fish and Chips - Sold

Shifty · 20-07-2007, 10:17

Well, after 3 years I decided to sell Taylors Fish and Chips. Time to leave the memories behind, move on, and start afresh.

Obviously the 10% discount no longer applies at the shop, although the new owners are worth a visit, as they were trained by me, and I'm sure the same standards will be kept.

Quite sad in a way, but I'm viewing this as a turning point, and already have the next shop lined up - so i'll keep the fish and chips lovers amongst you posted on its progress and opening date.

Thank you to everyone who has visited me at the shop and sampled the goods. Also a big thanks for everyone who took the time to fill in the recomendation section of my webpage.

good luck with your new shop

Good luck with the new venture

We sold our fish shop 2 years ago now, and bought somewere bigger with higher turnover. Never looked back.....

ScoobyChris · 20-07-2007, 10:21

Good luck with the new shop! Will you be staying in Blackpool, or moving to a nearer location?

Chris

Goochie · 20-07-2007, 10:26

How will they be able to continue without the special "shifty batter" ingredient?

Or will you be supplying a bottle for them every week?

Hedge · 20-07-2007, 10:27

The new one should be darn sarf hopefully.

JMK2 · 20-07-2007, 10:35

Good luck - hope to visit the new 'Venue'

Talking of which anyone thinking of starting a good restaurant in winsford - nothing fancy - just something slightly better than weatherspoons.

pixi · 20-07-2007, 10:44

Open up further down this way, I felt quite left out not being able to savour the delights of the famous Shifty fish and chips.

P.S. I will start a petition if necessary.

Goochie · 20-07-2007, 10:45

I think he already has a site in mind

radioone · 20-07-2007, 11:21

Gutted now, but will keep an eye out for the new shop.

Will deffinately be going there.

Good luck with everything Shifty.

Chris

Tom_vRS · 20-07-2007, 11:24

When are you getting rid of the fish doors on the new one?

**mannyo** · 20-07-2007, 13:30

Good luck on the new venture Dave, I never did come up to try your fish and chips.

ZootyRS · 20-07-2007, 13:49

Blimey. Glad I called in the other week then.

Good luck with the new one - hope it's not too far away!

Shifty · 20-07-2007, 14:28

Thanks for all of your kind comments

I've had quite alot of bad luck and miserable times over the last three years, ups and downs like anyone else. Time for a new beginning.

New shop is in St Annes, about the same distance of the motorway, just in the opposite direction.

Makefish · 20-07-2007, 14:44

Oi, you owe me a pizza!

Good luck mate

Tom_vRS · 20-07-2007, 14:52

lozgti · 20-07-2007, 14:58

Did someone just walk in and order '600 bags of fish and chips,300 saveloys,500 pie and chips,all your pickled eggs, 700 scallops,250 roe and chips.......

and all your friers,tables,drums of oil and the building too,please'

Good luck though.Hope the new one is in the middle of the country

Tom_vRS · 20-07-2007, 15:21

I can't see Lytham St Annes moving to the middle of the country any time soon

PMSL Dave.

You wish my friend, you wish!

lozgti · 20-07-2007, 15:28

oops.Didn't read the small print!

Goochie · 20-07-2007, 15:36

There will be several Briskodians in Lytham St Annes now - perhaps you should have a mini meet in your new shop. I'm sure the others would love to tasy the Shifty Batter

Is this a secret plan to make Walkie fat(er)?

devonutopia · 20-07-2007, 16:21

I was hoping there was going to be a new Dawlish shifty shop opening. Actually, forget that because I'd never be out the place.

sharkrider · 20-07-2007, 16:32

and good luck
