Hello from Suffolk, the territory of the ADNAMS. Southwold.

Having Amstel at the ADNAMS territory because I am a creature of a habit. Well done mate, 10/10. Perfect cold temperature, perfect fizziness I crave from the lager on Friday night! This is not easy to achieve on Amstel. Shame it is not served in our special Amstel pint glass.

But has ADNAMS glass, COOL!

ADNAMS Beer Battered Cod and Chips with minted pea puree, homemade tartar sauce at £10.50. Like COD sticker!

Soooo steamy hot, cannot wait to tuck in!!!

Look this, gorgeous portion. Batter looks very brown, is this because of ADNAMS batter?

My verdict.
1. Fish 7/10. Good effort, but quite frankly, I cannot tell what is the distinctive feature in taste of being “ADNAMS batter”. Fish is firm and well, but started to feel a bit tasteless towards the end.

2. Chips 8/10. Not sure if this is frozen or home made. Who cares, it was well executed hot crunchy chip!!!

3. Peas. 5/10. Mushy, rather than puree. I could not taste mint but very buttery. Butter is a funny thing, it can be overwhelming. In this case, I enjoyed first 2 mouthful then started feel too much butter, unable to finish. Also needed a bit moisture as it felt “hard mash”.

Overall score though generous 7/10. Some sea salt was already sprinkled when served, thought it was nice touch.I did not have to add any salt, for my taste, it was perfect. What a found in this peaceful pretty Aldeburgh!!!

A bit sideways…. my starter prior to fish and chips….
