I was looking for a good chippy in Bromley, so I decided to analyse the best ones I could see from online reviews I looked at google maps and reddit to get a flavour (punn intended !!) of the best, I’ve visited all of these over the years (but not for awhile). Now I have looked at recent reviews I can start to re-visit them all.
