Rhumsaa 3,117 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 tried it today for a take away fish and chip lunch looks quite nice to sit in and seeing as it has only been open a couple of days was a pretty smooth operation fish had a nice batter almost as good as the chart room and the chips were pretty good only complaints are not much room to queue for take away orders and the staff at the counter seem to struggle communicating and skimp on the vinegar otherwise worth a try for a change Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock 11,538 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 skimp on the vinegar I find a lot of busy chippy's tend to 'skimp' on the salt and vinegar - but as they pick it up and start putting it on I usually say: 'lots of vinegar please'. Better to say it then, than when they have stopped and put it down, as it's then you become a pain in the arse when it's busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tearz 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I noticed this the other day, looked very well fitted out from outside. It'll have to go a long way to top the Chart Room - but expect it'll do good business whatever the quality of the food due to its location. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or even say "It's ok I will put it on myself and take the bottle" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Hedgehog 900 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well thank god. If there is one thing Douglas was crying out for it's another chippy. I'll still give it a go tomorrow mind. Hopefully it will be better than the 'not as good as it used to be' Chart Room Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to know where all these places are. I don't think you're really Slim at all, just pretending to be him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lethargy 35 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Just a quick glance at the menu as I walked past, but disappointingly cod-centric it seems. I know that people are hard to get out of the habit, but it would have been nice to see sustainable alternatives instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulos 14 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Just tried it and have to say it was the worst fish, chips and peas i've ever eaten. Yuck. Chewy batter, soggy greasy chips, and tasteless peas. The fish itself was grey and tasted horrible. Edited January 21, 2010 by Paulos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Hedgehog 900 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Maybe I'll have a Chinese instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhumsaa 3,117 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 got to make your own decision dave mine was ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Hedgehog 900 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nuts to that. Their inconsistency has cost a duck it's life this week. I'll go after a couple of weeks when they have had a chance to settle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
