Next door to the Bull on Beverley Road this supplier of deep fried battered savoury mashed potato is apparently the Best in Hull and that, I suppose, is something to be. Hullophiles often claim Hull to be the home of this greasy carbohydrate rich delicacy but I can tell you patties were on sale in my home town Hartlepool and I suspect many other places have a similar concoction. Pattie and chips is apparently a thing in these parts; the poor man's fish and chips ... I had them as a kid and quite honestly they're nowt special.
I've never had patties. I guess the concept didn't make the crossing of the pond.
