Good chippy. Much better quality and value than Harry Ramsden’s up the road. Most stuff cooked to order and pretty busy so nice and fresh.

At first, I didn’t know what to make of Springfield chippy — for example, why does it have a sign on the door saying ‘As seen on TV’? Well, as I later found out, it it because the place was where the idea of Sooty, the little yellow hand puppet who was once one of the stars of ITV, was conceived.
This fact shocked and impressed me — I had no idea that Sooty came from Leeds, not least that he was invented in a chippy. Though I only discovered this after I had had some chips and scraps from Springfield, I was already impressed with the place.
The service was quick, the chips were lovely and light, and had just the right amount of grease about them, and, to say its a rather celebrity chippy, the prices were right. For a chip shop to survive in the same tiny town as Harry Ramsden’s, it has to be good. And this place is.
