Here are the results from Round 1 in this year's Best Fish & Chip shop in Crewe & Nantwich. Heat 1 saw last year's winner Benny's Fish and Chips go through to the semi finals, but they faced competition from Shavington Fish Bar who were leading in the heat until the last week of voting. Coronation St Chippy also progress from Heat 1.<br />
<br />
Last year's third place, Walthall St Chippy qualified for the semi finals only by 1 vote with Vernon's Fish Bar the unlucky shop missing out. Jacko's chippy and Neptune's qualified as the top 2 from Heat 2.<br />
<br />
Mick the chips won heat 3 ahead of two of last year's finalists The Fish Bar & Cod n all. A huge influx of votes came in on the final week of voting for |Mick the chips and they could be a contender for this year's competition.<br />
<br />
Heat 4 saw our only contender from Nantwich progress to the semi finals, Coral Reef (Pillory St). Also qualifying is Alton St Chippy and Haslington Fish & Chips.James.Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06589531799369947609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245361762618067006.post-82536453659942203522018-02-11T09:12:00.000-08:002018-02-11T09:12:01.206-08:00Business advert of the month award: Walthall Street Chippy, Crewe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Giovannis is an Italian restaurant on Nantwich Road in Crewe. Local Listings went there to eat about a month ago - here is our review!<br />
<br />
The first thing you notice when you enter Giovannis is the staff. Friendly, welcoming and accommodating to their customer's needs. Whilst we were there, we saw many examples of this, including merging tables in an already busy restaurant to accommodate a large group of people and, on another table, talking to the customers about a dish and then offering to change the sauce to meet their requirements.<br />
<br />
The food is as good as the service and the price is very reasonable considering that all pizzas, pastas, soups, sauces and more are created from scratch in the restaurant.James.Suttonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06589531799369947609noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245361762618067006.post-26411814165720282132014-09-14T04:25:00.001-07:002014-09-14T14:29:45.110-07:00Things to do and local events this Autumn in CheshireThe school holidays may be over, but there are still lots of events and things to do in the Cheshire area this autumn.

The latest store to close is the branded bargains store, which <em>was</em> situated on a row of, mostly, already empty stores. These stores include the pound centre, the short-lived pound centre extra, the seasonal calendar club, Carbon and now the Branded Bargains store.<br />
<br />
In December 2008, just 2.2%* of the 183 stores in Crewe town centre were empty - I would estimate the figure, now, to be close to 20%. This figure would be even higher without the recent influx of additional bookmakers, a new amusements and second-hand loan/buy-back stores. This shows a worrying trend for our town centre..<br />
