Best chip shop between Bunbeg & Brighton - if there were seagulls about Burnfoot they'd be chomping at these chips - they know how to fry a spud. The taste hasn't changed in the 10+ years I've been calling in. A few good veggie options now as well to go along with & brilliant in the caf or away in the bag. Top stuff.
