Fish & Chip Reviews

The Grafton, Kentish Town, London NW5 3LG, 24 October, 2014

Hooray! Friday at Kentish Town, The Grafton.  I remember you back in old days as Grafton Arms. Though I never had been.  This is new you, buzzing atmosphere with loads of young people.

I am afraid my first pint of Amstel was not quite as cold as it should be.  Soso for me 7/10.

To be fair though the second pint was much better.  However, just like a job interview, the first impression is the most important.   Let’s get Fish and Chips.

Yeeek!!!! The menu was sooo sticky, I did not want to hold!!!!

Another shocking night!  No Fish and Chips.  This pub serving American foods.  Burger, chili dogs, etc with FRIES (obviously not chips).

Why turn into American?  Menu reads all foods >1500kcal per portion, please stop selling obesogenic foods to us.   Whoops, ah, don’t ask me the calorie of fish and chips.

Then I suppose this is no difference in selling Thai foods in pub?  Though I could not stop feeling “not quite right”.  I don’t think I will rush back soon….. then looked the website, apparently you were named the Great British Pub of the Year 2014…

I learnt the basic rule of the life…. we all have a different opinion.  Good night!
