St Johns Chippy ( Corstorphine)

[Scouse Hibee]

After operating as a chip shop for 32 years, the St Johns is changing its take away food offering to take away sandwiches, pastries, pasta's, salads and stone baked pizzas along with drinks and coffee etc! Really surprised at this and wonder is the chip shop business so much in decline that they have decided to move in another direction.
The queues at the BarBQue along the road are still as big as ever so they don't appear to be suffering.

Thats probably the closest chippy to my house. The BBQ is a better chippy, that said though I rarely have a chippy these days. Can't remember the last time actually.

Used to deliver for the St Johns and still fairly pally with the owner. Pizza's and Pasta's where always the main business for them including the restaurant, much more popular than the fried food. Also personally think he just wanted a change as he had the same routine all the time.

One bonus is it now sells Luca's ice cream!

I drive past the BBQ to go to the St Johns. Different strokes....................
