Dordogne Chippy - Daglan

We often have fish and chips and we love them. Andrew is very particular about the quality of his fish and chips and Karen is always helpful and tries to squeeze us in so we don't wait to long. I would recommend this to everyone

I often take visitors, especially English ones for fish and chip night in Eymet here in sunny France. Last week I took my former neighbours. They were delighted as they only moved lock stock and barrel two weeks ago. They live two hours away and do not have a fish and chip wagon near them. I not only love the fish and chips and mushy peas which are ready and waiting for you at your appointed time after you order them either by phone or email. I always order them now as I was soooo disappointed once when there were no fish left once. My friends raved about them especially at the huge Chrissy battered fish. and were so delighted to have an authentic taste of home. All the condiments are on a table in the Cafe de Paris, where you also enjoy a drinkiepoohs or two. You will have to arrive early to get an outdoor table.

We sat, a family of 7, sipping chilled rose outside the cafe opposite. Our ordered meals were delivered promptly to our table and really hit the spot. Kids' portions generous; fish nicely cooked - moist inside with batter crisp but not overdone. Mushy peas, salt and vinegar and a touch of curry sauce made this the perfect taste of home in the shadow of Eymet's church and chateau. We'll be back next week all being well

You've read the glowing reviews. A taste of Britain in the Dordogne. Well, the reality is quite different. We ordered two fish and chips meals and were told to return in 15 minutes. Good: freshly cooked F&Ps. Ten euros per person seemed reasonable if it was of quality. It was early Thursday evening but the lady was already surly and out of sorts. We took our precious cargo home, wanting nothing to detract from the treat to come. What we unwrapped was chips from local potatoes, unsuited to the purpose, being too sweet; and cod in batter which was so over-cooked the succulence had been driven out from the flesh, and the batter was nothing but crispness - no subtle blend of bits of crispness and areas of tender, delicious batter. It reminded me of a meal at L'Aparthee... Suffice to say, if absence makes the heart grow fonder, one might overlook the shortcomings of this chippy. If, like me you want real British fish and chips at that price, you should expect it to be cooked with skill, and leave a regretful, lingering taste when it has been consumed.Not this offering. I was glad to finish it, and I set to to write my disappointed review with an appetite I hadn't found satisfied by this travesty. What must the locals think of les Anglais' tastes?

We visited the Dordogne Chippy with family and were all very impressed with the delicious fish and chips! We will be back!
