The Crescent

There are 3 things that make The Crescent the best chip shop I know.
(1) Chicken fillet burgers
(2) Curry cheesy chips
(3) Battered Mars Bars
To explain in more detail, for say roughly the past 5 years I’ve often visited both this branch (Monkstown) and their other in Kings Crescent. Used to be on a Friday night my friends and I would get the vodka in, go to the video store and rent a movie, then head to The Crescent for a good old dirty chippy. Ah those were the days!
Their chicken burgers are nearly the size of my head, no joke! They’re scrummy! You really can’t get a better burger anywhere else. The chicken is unbelievable juicy, completely tender and battered to perfection. They also make the nicest curry cheesy chips (I’m sure some of you reading this will be thinking, curry? and cheese? What? But really, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Then you can thank me, you’re welcome in advance by the way!)
And so we move on to the battered Mars Bars. Now, I know this is a controversial subject, a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, but personally, I’m a lover (of Mars Bars, definitely not Marmite) and I dread to think that some of you poor souls won’t even have heard of the greatness that is the battered Mars Bar. If this is the case, go to the Crescent right now and get one. It’s one of those, you must try these before you die. You will not regret it!
