Singer songwriter Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) advised that "when your life's in a mess, take a National Express." He was suggesting that it's the simple and genuine things in life that can cheer you up.
Now a visit to Digmoor may not be some people's idea of escapism; no sweeping sandy beaches or dramatic mountainside views. However, I can assure you those people are missing something.
I had forced myself out to do an errand which involved going to Digmoor. I wasn't feeling great, too many precious things lost. Walking back to the car I popped into the Digmoor Fish Bar for something to eat and I am so glad I did.
Standing in the April sunshine in a car park at the back of an honest parade of shops, I was somehow transported back to happier times.
Me, the boy. Proper chippy sausage, proper glossy chips. Loads of salt and vinegar, unwrapped with a big plastic fork. No worries, no fears just a delicious taste. Filled with hope at the end.
Now we have a perfectly great chip shop where I live but its lacking that x factor. That ability to hold back time and let us breath in tradition and remember fondly.
The following afternoon the sun was shinning again so I got back in the car and made my second visit. Not something I expected to do.
As before the staff were all warm and friendly and the food was brilliant. It's a real community hub in some ways because the best chippy's are the ones constantly busy, buzzing with conversations, plenty of comings and goings; on foot and also by car. Like me, others were making the pilgrimage to order, fish, kebabs, pies and peas. You can even buy a bottle of chippy vinegar if you want one. The shop is clean, tidy and organised which shows the owners have a passion about what they do.
There are things we take forgranted and sometimes the complexities of our lives blur the simple pleasures before our eyes. I strongly recommend you give The Digmoor Fish Bar a try. Great people and great food.
I would also like to thank Debbie who is an employee. She popped out to check I was OK and we had a chat. You just don't get this level of kindness and empathy even from people I once regarded as friends and family. So thank you. Keep doing what your doing.
Funny isn't it. Joy is found when we are not looking for it and where we might least expect to find it. It seems Neil Hannon was right!
Best wishes,
Paul.
Bought Fish chips & peas for tea. Don't eat chippy teas very often. Usually when we've bought from here it's been really nice & enjoyable.
Omg, how different it was this time. It was disgusting. Fish was dry with soggy batter, chips were well overcooked & burnt, tasted like they were leftover from lunch time. Peas awful taste with a jelly like texture. Went straight in the bin ????
Sorry for the bad review, but that's how it was.
Maybe just a bad one off day.
I won't be returning anytime soon.
Extremely friendly staff, tasty food, all of which is reasonably priced.
