PJ’s

PJ’s aka «The college Chippy» has only one major failing that i can see: Its too good. Situated distressingly close to University accommodation PJ’s can rival the post office for its waiting time. However pick your moment well and you will not regret it. (I went for an appropriate Good Friday fish based lunch and found not a soul around!!).
The sandwiches are stuffed as full as humanly possible, there’s a varied menu (what you’d call traditional for a chippy i suppose). Now the fish was a total revelation for a chippy, perfectly battered and full of flavour. And whats not to love with traditional chip shop chips. All packaged together with the friendly sort of «family run» atmosphere that many of Leeds new eateries are loosing i found PJ’s hit the spot perfectly (see me resisting the urge for a «hooked» or «hook line and sinker» line!)
So…
Friendly, good value for money and a good bit of seating inside compared to its competitors on this road. If it didn’t suffer a little from ‘on’ and ‘off season’ influxes i’d have no complaints at all !!

Drawing in a loyal stream of customers looking to break up the long (I’m sure it used to feel it at the time) slog from the student accommodation on Burley Road up to University with a pit stop for a cheap sandwich or greasy fry-​up, PJ’s knows where its strengths lie. Resisting temptation to jazz up its menu with deli counter ingredients or pricey full meals, this takeaway instead sticks to its tried and tested formula of fish and chips, sandwiches and breakfasts, and does very well in the process. I had the breakfast a few times back in my meat eating days and it certainly did the job — generous, greasy and cheap — and I’ve more recently grabbed a few sandwiches on the go that fitted into the same category: filling, quick and cheap food that’s not going to win any awards but is perfectly palatable nonetheless. Don’t go at lunch time if you’re feeling hungry — the sudden influx of students from the nearby College mean queues often stretch out the door.
