Feels like eating a brick. Both fish and potato (£13.95) are fried in beef tallow. The result? It all tastes the same – heavy, pungent, a tad slimy. Soft spongy chips are strangely flavourless. Same with the cod – good luck tasting any seafood past the thick crispy crust. Serving packets of tartar sauce is a mistake, especially since the grumpy waiter only hands out two for 50p. One appreciates the effort to maintain such a staunchly bland menu. This place is more museum than restaurant, which lives up to England’s reputation for stodgy bad cuisine that’s also oddly edible. Provided you can finish this gut bomb, you won’t walk away hungry – and you may not need to eat again for 24 hours.
Edit: Woke up mad about the stinginess of tartar sauce, which costs NOTHING to make. It’s just mayo, mustard & relish mixed together. These ingredients are CHEAP and this restaurant could make buckets of it. Abundant tartar sauce is essential to enjoying fish & chips – this place insults customers with two measly packets.
