Chesterfield chippy offers festive favourites - in batter

Spire Frier, on Saltergate, offered sprouts, giant pigs in blankets and stuffing balls – as well as a Christmas pudding – battered.

There were even roast potatoes, cranberry sauce or gravy, to complete the festive fare, for the chippy’s £4.50 Christmas lunch.

Katie Johnstone, 39, from Eckington, who has owned the chippy, overlooking the Donut roundabout for three years, said: “This is the third year we’ve done it and it’s back by popular demand. People are asking us for pigs in blankets from October.” Katie said the battered sprouts were also making a return due to calls from her customers.
