About this tip
The original Leo Burdock at Werburgh Street has been frying fish and chips since 1913 and is the city's oldest chipper. Order the fish and chips as a takeaway and walk up the hill to St Patrick's Park nearby to eat them outdoors. It is a short, steep walk from Dame Street, so combine it with the cathedrals. Check the shop's website for current hours before you go.
