Ready for Fish and chips, highly predictable!

We like in here, good beer, and I remember good pricing from previous visits.  I have reported from here back in April 2014 and May 2014.  Wow, good to have those records as we can compare and contrast.

The menu has been refreshed, of course, it has been 2 years since.  “Homemade beer battered fresh haddock served with and cut chips, mushy peas & Tartare sauce” £12.50.  ????£12.50, is this good pricing as I remembered?  According to my previous reports, it was £9.95 in April 2014, £9.25 in May 2014.  This is, whopping 26-35% price rise.  Well above triple lock!!  Brexit has not fully bite yet, what are you going to do when Brexit bites!!!

It does’t give quite right freshly crunchy deep fried texture visually.

1 Fish :  5/10 Mediocre.  Texture was not quite right, a bit soft side, almost like “take away from a reasonable chippie, shame batter was not quite crunchy but can’t be helped as they were wrapped in paper for at least last 10 minutes” type texture.  I hope it make sense.

2. Chips : 5/10 as above, texture not quite right.

3. Mushy peas : 4/10, in fact is should score 5/10 as an average mushy peas, but 1 mark off for presented in a paper cup

Sorry folks, not too much details, this is one of downside of delayed report with alcohol influence (i.e., blurred memories).  Too busy chatting, eating, drinking, in the end, paid too much by mistake on top of 26-35% price raised Fish and Chips (i.e., impaired ability to divide bill correctly).

Hey, life too short, but lesson learnt!  Continue searching for my best Fish and Chips!  Good night!
