The Mill Inn, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, IP15 5BJ, 28 March 2014
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….
Love love love whitebait! Every bite feel soooo nutritious. The best beer snack Britain can offer. Good bye osteoporosis!
