Marigold’s, West Kirby, 8.5/10

14 Banks Road, West Kirby, Wirral.

Last visit: Sat 30 July.

My ongoing quest to find nice fish and chips within striking distance of Liverpool took a turn for the better today, albeit at the far corner of the Wirral. Everything was good about this experience, the chips were fresh and soft, the fish had been successfully skinned and filleted and tasted nice, the batter was good, and they had scraps too. £5 for take out is a little expensive, but as Kevin Keegan said on buying Warren Barton, if you want quality, you’ve got to pay for it.

The fact that you can go for a walk along the beach while you eat doesn’t count against them.

I’ve marked them down from a 9, only because the last time I went we had slightly leathery chips. But it’s still the best I’ve found around Liverpool for a while.
