I'm really craving for a good old fashioned chippy dinner, is there any where in Zurich that can produce chips? I can't stand another MacDonalds!!

I know what you mean, I make my own fish and chips big fat chips and cod in proper batter yumyum the only thing missing is mussy peas so i always bring loads of tins back with me from England. Glad im not the only one missing English food

there's an excellent cod chips'n mushy peas on the Seestrasse between Richterswil and Freienbach. can't remember the restaurant name but it's opposite the place that sells stones and slabs. it's on the lakeside so on the left heading towards Pfaffikon. the name will come to me .
it's run by a Welshman who has lived here for 30+ years who speaks perfect Swiss. then he swaps to a Welsh accent - really weird. you also get Sarsons and Boddingtons - heaven.
someone will know the name i'm sure

Gosh my mouth is watering lol. I need to invest in a deep fat fryer.

Gosh my mouth is watering lol. I need to invest in a deep fat fryer. Thank you for your response, next time your cooking can we get an invite?

Yes you can we love having people over for dinner even if its Fish and chips. Where are you from?

Britshop (www.britshop.ch) do mushy peas....... and lots of other great stuff too.

Can we nail this down... what the name of the place?

This should be public knowledge on our forum... too good to miss!!!

Pub-Bar Anker, maybe???

Thanks must of missed them will be on my next order now i wont have to carry such a heavy suitcase in future

On that subject, my all time favourite joke...

Feeding Time At The Zoo: A zookeeper starts work at his new job on a Friday to break him into things before a fresh week. For his first duty he is sent to clear out the aviary.

He is happily sweeping away when suddenly he hears a "crunch". To his dismay he looks down to find he has accidentally trodden on & killed a rare finch. Not wanting to get in trouble he panics, scoops up the bird & throws it in the lion enclosure, the hungry lion gobbling it up. He returns to his supervisor, and for his next duty gets send to feed the chimps in the chimp house. He starts to play with the chimps throwing them fruit, letting them swing off his broom. In his exuberance however, he manages to knock a chimp off balance that falls awkwardly from a tree & breaks his neck. "Oh no" he thinks .. "I've killed 2 animals on my first day .. I'm bound to get sacked".

So again, while nobody is looking he picks up the chimp & throws him in the lion's enclosure where the lion gobbles him up. Sheepishly he returns to his supervisor, who unknowingly is pleased with his work. For his final task of the day the supervisor sends him to the beehives. The zoo keeps its own bees to sell honey in the shop. His task is to collect the honeycombs to make the honey. This time all seems to be going fine, until a bee gets inside his mask. Frantically he trys to swat the bee, but topples over onto the hive, smashing it & crushing all the other bees!

To avoid the sack once more, he scoops up the crushed bees & throws them to the lion. Next day, there's a new arrival at the zoo ... a mate for the lion. "What's the food like here ?" asks the new arrival. "Oh, you know" says the lion... "Just the usual Friday stuff... Finch, Chimp & Mushy Bees..."

I don't think it could be the Anker bar as that's situated on the righthandside of Seestr. (Bach) and is more famous for being a place where you can roll and smoke your spiffs. Great place though.

Interesting... what else do you get up to of a night?

lol interesting taking my two children there and asking for a battered sausage and chips.

Do you want giggles with that ?

dave

just got in and remembered the name

Billys Inn Waldisberg. it's at Kantonstrasse 37 Freienbach

Billy of course is the Welshman
you will not beat this place anywhere in Switzerland i suspect
enjoy!!

lol just wondering what dark dens you lot are sending me? After two children tons of fish, chips and mushy peas no longer think my bodies up to it lol

That almost deserves a Groan! But I did chuckle, must be the wine.

Hello,

Yes at last a fish n chip shop. I remember the sweet taste of cod every Friday
and now probably just once a month. That is good enough and I live near there too even better.

I am looking forward to meeting Billy but more looking forward to see tomorrows dinner.

Thank you so much.

Hi

I was wondering if Billys Inn still exists as a Fish and Chips place in Freienbach?
Haven't been there and am looking forward to having some proper chips
Thanks
