Mrs Anne Blount “Memories of childhood!! Over 70 years ago my granny used to run a very popular chippie in Derby and trained my mum in the art. Since her death many years ago I thought the taste of "proper" fish and chips was lost forever until I heard about Upton. Having recently moved to Retford my husband and myself now visit as often as poss and are licking our lips for hours afterwards. Meeting friends from Lincoln there tonight - can't wait!!” Mr Kenton Rose “I grew up in the village of Kexby and used to walk to Upton with my dad for fish and chips. I have just been back today for the first time in a couple of years, and the fish and chips are still as good now, as they were back then. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. I was surprised to see Heather still works there, and Janet as well. I'm looking forward to coming back again soon.” MR B M “WHEN TO UPTON CHIPPY THE FOOD WAS GREAT THE BEST CHIPPY IN LINCOLNSHIRE IF NOT ENGLAND I GO AS OFTEN AS I CAN.” Mr Trevor Piercy “We have a convoy of cars from Mansfield on a Friday, just for the fish and chips. En route we pick up my friends dad who is 95, we just ring him beforehand and say Upton and he's at his front door waiting for us. Fabulous fish and chips thanks from all of us.” Mr David Connolly “We heard about upton chippy via the guru of Val and came for our 1st visit last Saturday afternoon to enjoy the best fish & chips money can buy and in the words of my 7 year old son they were absolutlely wonderful we certainly will be having another visit soon !” mr jack fontana “I have sampled fish & chips on a global basis and i can say your's are the finest.” Mr peter Biggles “In 1970 a band of intrepid aviators from Doncaster Flying Club would fly in to sample Mrs. L's fish n chips every Saturday lunchtime.They are still as good as ever with Sally at the helm and although most of the gang have moved on, I still manage to call most week-ends for the meal of the week! The queue is fun with all the banter, but when we get tio the front - wonderful. Thank you all!!” Me Steve P “Well worth the wait well worth the travel can we buy the ladies a calculator and when will you start making pork pies and selling beer I could buy a caravan then” Mr Mick Ward “Fancy that , having the pleasurable distinction of being the last customer of 2010 , and they were fantastic . Made even more enjoyable than ever , having "stolen" someone else's fish , thanks Tom !! . Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Sally & Co . xxxx” mr mac clarke “I flew up to Sturgate aerodrome from Leicester with two friends on Saturday 2nd October 2010. We were dropped off at the Upton Chippy by the air traffic controller where we were able to sample what can only be described as the best fish and chips ever! There will be many more pilots flying in, once we spread the word - Brilliant!!!” Mr Kyle Spooner “Absolutely by far the best fish and chips I have ever tasted. I'm moving from essex to Retford soon so I'll be there every Friday for those chips and a cheeky lunch on the Saturday! Well done upton chippy!” Mr & Mrs Neil & Zena Garnham “The staff always have a smile, so don`t worry if you have to queue a while, for the best fish and chips for many miles!” Mrs Mandi Hill “BEST EVER NO WHERE ELSE IS CLOSE TO THEM. ME MY HUSBAND AND MOTHER-IN-LAW GO EVERY FRIDAY. WE MISS THE FISH AND CHIPS IF WE DONT GET TO GO. WE`VE BEEN GOING FOR 8-9 YEARS NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN. WE HAVE THE JUMBO FISH THAT SORTS US OUT UNTILL TEA TIME ON SATURDAY SO GIVE IT A GO AND YOU WONT WANT TO TOUCH ANOTHER CHIPPY IN LINCOLNSHIRE. THANKS MANDI JEFF AND GRAN” mr Malcolm Sprake “Heard of your Fish and Chips from a work colleague some 10 tears ago years ago, he thought it was worth the journey from Newark for your Fish and Chips, so we gave you a try also. 44 miles for Fish and Chips is a bit of a journey but it is worth it, has we have been back many times and will be visiting you again soon. Regards Malcolm and Barbara Sprake” Mr John Foxley “Visited this place for the first time today! Should be a National Institution! Part of the National Trust! Excellent food! And the mushy peas? I will be buying pots of them on my next visit! Heavenly! Great place! If you have not been before, take time out to visit this National Treasure shop.... only open twice a week though!” Mr Kevin Lawson “We were camping in East Firsby and was about to check out the local F&C shop and your establishment came highly recommended. They weren't wrong. Thank you Upton Chippie, we'll be back. Again and Again.” Mr Robert Smith “I've spent the best part of my youth waiting to get to the door to shout 4 haddock please Mrs L. I've had fish and chips all over the world, and can say nothing has even come close, I'm back visiting Upton next month after years in excile. I know were I'll be the first Saterday afternoon!” Mr Trevor Davies “I have visitted Chip Shops up and down the country and am known locally as a bit of an expert. I can say quite categorically that Upton Fish and Chips are the best you can get!!” mr Andy Wignall “By far the best fish and chips we've ever had, we come about once every three months as a special treat, we eat every scrap and our kids eat the lot too. The down side is that we are constantly disappointed with Fish and chips from anywhere else, as they taste so horribly bland and we always feel ripped off and only eat half of them. When we try to explain to people how good Upton's are, they just don't understand.....until they try them.” Mr Mick Ward “I first visited Upton Chip Shop over 30 yrs ago , and after missing a few years in the 80s ,have missed only a few weekends since then. Mrs Longden was a hard act to follow , but I have to say, that after a few "glitches" in Her early days ,Sally has risen to more than equal Her predecessors standards . I look forward to enjoying my weekly treat for the next 30 yrs. My wife says they are consistently better than ever . Well done Sally.”
