Listen, you can stop looking for fish & chips now, because this is the final boss level of Fish & Chips. When you have fish & chips from Lena's - congratulations, you've completed the game!
Chips are perfect. Legit. They're chunky, they're crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside... And they look it too. If there's a food version of Only Fans then these chips are in the top 0.1% of Only Fans users.
We were a party of 5 - everyone loved it.
Your kids won't wanna go to McDonalds, or Burger King anymore, hell your kids won't even wanna go to DisneyLand anymore, they'll just wanna go back to Lena's. I'm not even joking when I say my kids legit made us leave Adventure Island early to get to Lena's the second time.
Need to add one more bit about the service - also 5/5. Absolute sweethearts the lot of them, and that's the icing on the cake (or the salt on the chips?) of this place, because end of the day it doesnt matter how good the food is, if the service is bad - Im not going back, but the service here matches the food, everyone is lovely.
I genuinely can't say enough good things about this place.
Anyway, stop reading my review of Lena's and go get your...
