This is a chip shop with a restaurant attached. I have used the restaurant section on several…read moreoccasions and it is good if you want to go to a chip shop restaurant but not my first choice for a restaurant experience. It is spacious and well laid out, it's clean and the facilities are good. Service is quick and the staff are usually very friendly. The only thing that lets down the chip shop; and the reason why it's four stars not five, are the prices. The food is extremely good quality, the selection is excellent, the service is good. In fact everything is excellent apart from the prices, which even though you expect to pay a little more for higher standards this is still a chip shop and the prices are too high for the standards to warrant. I used to go to the chip shop regularly but tend to use Parkinsons or even moby dicks now.

Justified: British chips are healthy. Well. That might be a slight bold-faced lie. But it's not…read moreentirely without a grain of truth. Whilst in England this August, and surrounded by chips, chips and gravy, chips and mushy peas, fish and chips, and sausage and chips, I stumbled upon a few internet articles that broke down the calorie count in typical English fare. (See, a few internet articles! Corroboration! It must be true.) Amongst the standard take-away choices, fish and chips was the healthy choice. But the standard take-away consisted of Indian curry, donner kebab, Chinese, pizza, and fish and chips. In other words, fish and chips were the least likely to cause a heart attack, although all were more certain to cause a heart attack than a home cooked meal. And a home cooked meal does NOT include popping several frozen dinners into the oven/microwave. Just like home made custard does not mean adding Byrd's powder to real milk. Back to my justified article. Vis-a-vis American fries, the British chip had less fat because the chip is bigger. Thus, less surface area-to-volume of potato. Ok. That's really the only scientific part. And even that's not really science. Or a justification. But what was I going to do? I was in a small, country town, full of sensible people that liked local produce, surrounded by fields and cows, and 4 fish and chips shops. And every restaurant served some version of fish and chips. I couldn't get away from chips. When I closed my eyes, puppet chips would sing and dance. In the shower, I found myself humming a chip-eating song. The wrought iron bars of St. James church looked like chips. I ate here at least twice. Twice that my BF knows about. It may have been more frequent than that but at this time, I can neither confirm nor deny those reports. The fish was big. Length of my arm big. Haddock. Delicious. Fried fish is amazing. One big downside is that the fried fish is COMPLETELY UNSEASONED! You have to douse it with salt like a vicar exorcizing demons with holy water. And in order to get the salt to stick, you have to spray the filet with vinegar like a tom cat marking new territory. And in order for the vinegar to penetrate the beautiful, breaded, fried exterior, you MUST repeatedly stab the crunchy coating with a fork. The fish and chips come in a sturdy cardboard box with a layer of chips underneath the massive haddock. After I performed the salting ritual as stated above, I had a lovely pile of salt in all 4 corners, and NONE ON MY CHIPS or fish. I was forced to break off a piece of fish, dip it in salt, and let it all come together as I chewed. I was laughed at when I put pepper on my fish.

I have had the good fortune to visit this restaurant on several occasions and I can honestly say…read morethere is no need to travel to the big cities for a world class dining experience when you can get it right near the centre of Louth. This is one of the finest dining experiences that you will ever have. The restaurant is part of the Priory Hotel and is open to non residents on a friday and saturday evening. On the website it does say to book otherwise you might be disappointed. From experience I would suggest booking well in advance because the demand far outstrips the supply. The setting is wonderful, perfect for a romantic meal, the menu has a wide selection of gastronomic delights - my mouth is watering just remembering my last visit - the food is delicious, superbly prepared using mainly local fresh produce by Paul. The selection of drinks is also extremely good and considering the setting quality etc, the prices are low. I've paid much more for supposedly high quality cuisine in London, Manchester etc and not had anything that matched the food served here. Paul and Shelley; the hosts, are fantastic so friendly and helpful. I don't think that there is another restaurant that I could recommend more than this. I will reiterate - BOOK EARLY.

It's a strange, tunnel-like building that seems almost underground and the tables are in velvet booths which seem dark even in the daytime - it's quite a nice dining experience. Service is quick and friendly and the curries are competently prepared and tasty. There is also a good range of booze available (and soft drinks of course). Nice for an informal kick-back meal after work.

There's no real waitress service - you have to go and order at the counter, but the staff are friendly and cheerful. Two haddock and chips with steaming mugs of builders tea came to just shy of £15, which is a bit on the steep side, but I think it would've been cheaper if we'd had takeout and braved the cold winter weather, which to be honest wasn't much of a choice. The batter was light, the chips were chunky (none of these pointy, stab your gums end bits, thank you very much), and the gravy was thick and tasty. Delicious.

It was a cold early Wednesday evening so it wasn't busy, although it was doing some take away business and I hear this place can get packed out especially at the weekends. The service is welcoming and attentive to your every need and the decor is modern. Having been shown to my seat and received a menu, I was keen to see what unusual dishes there were on the menu. I was grateful to see a number of unique dishes. This was most definitely a Fusion as the restaurant name suggests with a variety of Indian, Pakistani and Middle Eastern options available. I was keen for a lamb dish and opted for the Hasina Khari with a Pilau Rice - "Minted lamb cooked with lemon juice & special spice mixture in part a unique flavour to the dish". My portion was flavoursome and plentiful and washed down with a pint of Tiger Beer left me feeling warmed and satisfied before exiting back into the freezing cold weather outside. This is a popular option in Louth and gets favourable reviews all over the web. Consider this is another positive review to that list! Recommended.
