Krupnik Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hiya, I hope this doesn't get deleted. It's not about my business, but of a good friend so I'm trying to drum up some publicity for him! Him and his wife 'Piggy' have just opened up the above business today. It's a great little place. They've got an excellent menu (I'm vegan myself, but they even cater for me, and everyone has said the fish is really good.) They do cod, plaice, battered sausage, all traditional British stuff. Very reasonable prices and a full bar! Deserts too, apple pie and custard etc. Give it a go!! Turn left down Chiang Moi just before Mike's Burgers and it's a few shops down on the right! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maejo Man Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'd kill for a decent battered cod and chips, and so would several others I know. I'm due for a night out with another TV member this week so will give it a try. Good luck to your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarangCravings Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Just left Piggys after 8 hours of drinking and eating (yes Im a fat bastard but lets not talk bout that right now) and i was one of the first to get fish and chips and since i owned a chippie in the uk i gave them a few tips and watched them get better and better throughout the day and I believe they are the best chippie in chiang mai they have a ways to go with take away and a few other additions but i really enjoyed the meal there and the fish and chips are crackin not to mention cheese on toast with HP sauce (not at the same time LOL) ITS THERE FIRST DAY ( yes i am shouting) meaning they are still sourcing the best pies currys etc therefore before you chavs slag them give it a couple of weeks to sort things out. Yes the boss's hubbie has more tats than the average GEEZER Charlies is good i have eaten there many times but this place is cheap as chips (pun intended) 120 baht for Fish and Chips if you want COD 170 baht but the regular fish is kicken and the beer batter is very tasty. try it out give them a little breather for a couple of weeks till they get things in order but if todays meals as an indication of whats to come Im there Cheap tasty and very authentic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) I dropped by this evening and must say the F&C was good and excellent value too. Try the cod alternative at 120 baht. It was not far off the real thing although in the UK I always preferred Haddock which seemed to me to have a more distinctive flavour which is needed with all the batter and chips and sauce and all. Having said that it's not a place to sit and linger but nevertheless a welcome addition to the food on offer around Thapae Gate. I wish them luck in their new endeavour.

alfieconn Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Do they serve real British chips?French fries are fine with a burger, but fish and chips require the real thing!

Blinky Bill Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sounds like a good thing. Gotta have a go so as to compare to the world's best Fish and Chip producers........Australia.

Oneman Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Him and his wife 'Piggy' have just opened up the above business today. ...Turn left down Chiang Moi just before Mike's Burgers and it's a few shops down on the right!... Always good to see someone with the confidence to start up a new venture here. For those trying to find the new shop, when I walked past a few days ago, the name on the sign was "Pinky's" ... or I need to get some eyeglasses? For those familiar with the area, Pinky's/Piggy's is in the same shop house where "Texas BBQ" used to be, until that closed last month. I haven't eaten there, so no comment on the food.

Please don't get the two confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Actually, PINKY'S Hamburgers and chicken wings in in the old "Texas BBQ" place. Piggy's Fish and Chips is across the street and a little towards the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Piggy's looks a little small and claustraphobic to sit down and eat. If the fish and chips are take away, are the chips going to be fresh when I get them home? French fries from McDs never are, but chips from the chippy back home always remained fresh when wrapped in paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
