Good evening, we are late in the evening nearly 10pm, need foods!  Help!  The Betjeman Arms, agreed to help us, managed to order our fish and chips – without even see the menu, check the price, as the Kitchen was just about to close!  Ordered fish and chips before beers.

Thank you for saving us from the hunger!

Now I am looking at the menu from the website, “Young’s beer-battered haddock, triple-cooked chips, tartar sauce, mushy peas” £17.50 – what can I say, this is standard price now days.

Arrived in literally in minutes!

Phew, great first impression!

Fish 5/10 : Good crunchy batter – however fish was definitely undercooked – what a shame as the flesh was big and thick, I know you are desperately closing the kitchen…

Chips 8/10: This is better, well cooked – definitely felt freshly cooked without any rush, good portion size – those chunky chips are definitely taste of the UK – especially evident after being abroad – got used to “skinny fries”

mush peas : no rating , I remember good visual bright green otherwise unable to recall any impression, too hungry to tuck in fish – then too busy commenting how undercooked the fish was.

Anyway, all done, the hunger was sorted.  Good night!
