Talk Of The Town
Quick info
About Talk Of The Town
On Stainbeck Rd in Leeds, Talk Of The Town is a fish and chips takeaway where orders are cooked to order rather than held under a lamp. Curry sauce is available alongside the standard fish and chips. Families with young children can make use of high chairs while waiting. There is no seating for eating in, and customers wait outside for their order once it goes through. The shop takes walk-ins only, with no booking system, and Friday evenings tend to bring a queue as orders come thick and fast. It opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips cooked to order is what reviewers return to most, with the fish described as firm, flavourful and in a crispy batter, and portions called very big and decent. Chips are noted as good too, and one diner paired the meal with curry sauce. Several say everything is fresh and hot, and a few call it authentic, reminiscent of fish and chips from childhood. Reviewers also praise the staff as polite, lovely and friendly, including one who says they were kind to a partner during the Friday rush. Value comes up repeatedly, with diners calling prices reasonable. The one note of caution is how busy it gets, with people queuing outside on Fridays and a Thursday evening crowd. Reviewers still treat the wait as part of a good visit, and one says they spotted the queue while driving past, turned around, and would now detour to come back.
