Fish & Chip Reviews

The White Hart, London SE1 8TJ, 31 January 2014

¡hola amigos!  It’s Friday again! What shall I do?
Let’s crunch my thirst at the White Hart, SE1 8TJ.

Perfect both temperature and fizziness, and of course in my special pint glass.

£10.75.  Excellent pricing.  This is how it should be.

However, however, we are getting fish and chips with a pint of Peroni for £10!!!!  Special January offer, yey we caught it on time!

I personally prefer 4% beer so I can prevent to get too much units down.

This is definitely not "special offer" portion. it is genuine.   You are good people,the White Hart!

My verdict of the day.
1. Fish. 8/10.  Firm and flavoursome fish yet juicy.  Batter not too thick so false sense of security of NOT eating 1500kcal in one meal, excellent.  I could not give you more point as even this was excellent, I believe there are always areas to improve.  Do you agree? or am I being harsh?  But I am a critic.
2. Chips.  6/10.  After rigorous peer review (which encompasses heated discussions and serious scrutiny), I came to the conclusion that they are frozen of its origin.  Basically too uniform in shape.  But well executed.
3. Peas 7/10.  Good crushy pea.  Is crushy pea a new trend?

Overall, 7/10, then extra 2 points for great value of January offer (I repeat, £10 for fish and chips and a pint!)  so over all 9/10 today, well done the White Hart.  I will be back even for full price, you got my word!
