When it comes to rave reviews, Oakdale Chippy has stacks of them from satisfied customers. They praise the big portions, tasty food, value for money and friendly staff. "By far the best chippy around," said one.
The chip shop in Bakersfield is constantly number one on TripAdvisor and boasts a five hygiene rating, so cleanliness and food safety is spot on, too. The latest accolade for owners Mario Therabondos and his wife Jo Kara is a prestigious Good Food Award.
Even renowned designer and TV personality Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen dropped in earlier this year while filming a new series, Outrageous Homes, for Channel 4. The couple has run the chippy in Oakdale Road for five years but Mario has been frying for a quarter of a century at chippies around Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and the current takeaway, which was originally his dad's business.
