Fish & Chip Reviews

The White Hart, London SE1 8TJ, 30 May 2014

Hello my fans!  This is Friday at The White Hart, yey time for a pint or two (or three or four or five), ah, I have to admit, I am a creature of habit.

Cold, but slightly flat side, 7/10.

MMM.. have slightly bad feeling, as “consistency” is the important part of my verdict.  In my previous blog at The White Hart, same beer scored 10/10.

This round costed us just over £20. 5 drinks!

Then, this 2 drinks later costed me £10.85.  WHY????? Cannot do math!!!

????? Only 4 months ago, it was £10.75.  Also fish was cod before, now hake.

Not quite keen on first sight.  I now kind of know why, had a same issue last week.  It is the shape of fish , too round.

Do you see?, the shape of fish is not quite appetising, too round.
Do you see?, the shape of fish is not quite appetising as the traditional shape of more rectangular, too round.

1. Fish. 6/10.  Not keen hake.  It was “frakey” and dry.  Same issues at The Dignity I had.
2. Chips 7/10.  This time they are made from scratch though portion slightly too small.  For “chips made from scratch”, not enough potatoey taste.
3. Pea 6/10 The usual crushy peas which is appeared common,  Too dry.

MMM… a bit disappointed as failed on consistency from 4 mounts ago.  Price is up 9% but quality down by 9%.   Is this due to food price crisis?  Peer discussions told me that hake is much cheaper than cod or haddock.

Good night!!!
