Medium Cod & Chips + can of Coke £15.10 eaten in the shop. That's a pricey F&C so let's quickly go through what we got:
The fish itself was very good; a sizeable piece of cod, freshly fried (I waited 10 minutes for it) and the batter was light and crispy. Biting in gave a nice crunch and there was a hot, succulent and flaky fillet inside - dare I use the word 'thicc' haha. Anyway full marks for the fish from a taste perspective but at £10.50 it's at the 'v.exp' end of town considering the chippy near my mum's does a large cod for 7 quid.
The letdown for me were the chips. The chips given are more like steakhouse style, i.e. long rectangular and flat instead of your traditional chippy square-cross section chip and to be honest I didn't really care for them. I don't know if they cut these in-house but I would not be surprised if these are frozen; certainly they have the taste of a mass-produced potato fry and although they're crispy outside, the insides were mealy and lacking in flavour. Sorry, low marks for chips and they cost £3.
Overall, this was an adequate fish and chips, let down by the style of chips offered (some might prefer those, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 9/10 F&C aficionados will not be impressed by them) and the overall price. I know there's a cost of living crisis, yes I do, but I can still get a good cod and chips elsewhere for around half this price and then add a quid for a can of Tango and will probably be happier. Having said this. it's not the price that would deter me from going again, but the chips.
'Service' was good. What can I say - it's a chippy not a restaurant. At least they didn't ask me...

Read moreOrdered through Uber eats. Almost £30 meal for Fish n Chips, Curry Sauce and Cod roe. I usually don’t leave negative reviews but this time I had to. The fish was terrible as it had no taste, the quality of fish was terrible and I have tasted nearly all fish n chips places in south London. I can say Taste More in Stockwell has good fish, I can vouch for Jimmy plaice in Brixton, I can also vouch for LavenderHill fish n chips,
Back to the review, the chips was just about okay. There was no crunch on the outside just medium cooked soft chips, the curry sauce was soo terrible whole pot was is still on my kitchen table. Cod roe was nice. Overall waste of money. I won’t be coming back and if restaurant can give a valid reason why food was bad I might consider changing my review just as a goodwill gesture. Was the main chef not in today? I ordered...
