n_m_jones Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Does anyone else appreciate the friendliness of the owner of the North Cross Road chip shop? He always offers a 'lovely fresh chip' to try while you wait. I think he's an East Dulwich treasure.

maxxi Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Indeed - big fan of Emily's; friendliness personified and if you ring beforehand he'll even fry to order so you don't have to wait around.

Pugwash Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Armed is a lovely guy, I think he knows the name of all his customers. If you are advertising an event he will always put up a poster for you. He donated a prize for a raffle - 2 free fish and chip meals. The winners were delighted.Food good as well Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23515-friendly-north-cross-road-chip-shop-man/#findComment-545535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help-Ma-Boab Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Not found anywhere down here that stocks the delights of a Scottish chippie Gimme.

Sue Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 He's a lovely lovely man and he once gave us a free pie because we had ordered one fish between us and he must have thought we were paupers (not far off the truth).Sorry to say I'm not too fond of his chips though (soggy) - maybe I've just been there at the wrong times.

Nicholas Spears Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have always found him a friendly bloke - but I stopped visiting quite so often after hearing his claims that Kurdistan is the new Israel and that Jews are buying up Istanbul as part of some grand conspiracy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23515-friendly-north-cross-road-chip-shop-man/#findComment-545638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Spears Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I thought the thread was entitled 'Friendly North Cross Road chip shop man' rather than 'Great chips on North Cross Road'. And call me controversial, but I don't always find a desire to spread global jewish conspiracy theories conducive to friendship. Particularly if you're jewish.Alan Medic Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Nicholas Spears Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > I have always found him a friendly bloke - but> I> > stopped visiting quite so often after hearing> his> > claims that Kurdistan is the new Israel and> that> > Jews are buying up Istanbul as part of some> grand> > conspiracy> > Does this affect the chips then?

katie1997 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I used to feel guilty for hardly ever buying any chips from there but yes, the friendly waves from the guys in Emily's were part of what I loved about living in East Dulwich.And only now I discover that they will do the chips 'extra crispy' if only I'd asked :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23515-friendly-north-cross-road-chip-shop-man/#findComment-546164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I always ask for extra crispy (verging on burnt), my kiwi palate is far too refined for soggy British chips ;-)All of the local shops are happy to oblige. Now if only I could find a paua pattie and onion sausage I'd be happy.
