    Harrumph…read more I am rather unhealthily going through a fish and chip craving phase at the moment and this means I've had fish and chips for tea once a week for the last three weeks. I know it's bad but I also eat salads and boring good-for-me-stuff sometimes too. Why the harrumph? Because everyone at work's been banging on about this Nash's and how I should try it because my last Nash's experience (with the one in Chapel Apple) wasn't up to much in my opinion, and so I badgered Hot Steve into Orange Wednesdaying it in town and thought 'Nash's is only down the road, let's go there!'. And I went online and there was a 2-4-1 offer just about to run out so I was all like 'it's fate! We get to try Nash's and get it a bit cheaper AND get cheaper cinema tickets!' and it was all great. I should have realised when I met Steve there and he told me the queue had been so long at the cinema that by the time he got to the till his phone battery had died and he had to pay for two tickets that it wasn't going to go as swimmingly as I'd hoped. Our waitress wasn't exactly surly, just not overly friendly. I gave her my voucher as instructed, and we knew already that the offer only applied to the haddock and chips meal, which was fine, because the menu said it included bread and butter and peas, nommy. I was even allowed brown bread to make it a tiny bit better for me. And then our meals arrived in a beautiful halo of light and golden batter and perfectly cooked (for me) chips. And homemade tartare sauce with dill in it, and a wedge of lemon, and a parsley sprig, and... no peas. I thought the waiter was fetching us some but he wasn't. I asked him where our peas were and he told us they weren't included in the offer. Apparently peas are excluded. He offered to add some onto the bill and get some for us but it sort of defeated the purpose so we said no (although I regretted it instantly). I couldn't check the voucher because I'd given it to the waitress, which made me think perhaps that's a sneaky tactic they use - hand in voucher when ordering, then get something other than you ordered. Clever. Anyway. As light as the batter was, there was too much of it. I left a lot. And there were a lot of bones in my fish. Which I've never noticed before. And it took ten minutes of waiting for our finished plates to be cleared away before I got fed up and did that 'can we have the bill please?' gesture at the waiter (who incidentally wasn't busy or anything, there were only 5 covers in - he was just stood next to the bar with the waitress). We didn't tip and instead went next door to Lounge for a beer to mull over our disappointing Nash's experience. Sigh. And harrumph.

    While someone who doesn't eat fish probably isn't the best person to review a fish and chip…read morerestaurant, the spasms of delight that this place seems to send my fish-eating friends into seem to indicate that it's rather good. Set in an old, oak-beamed building Nash's is a step up from your average chippy, something which is reflecting in the menu, replete with wonderfully Seventies-sounding delights such as Melon and Pink Grapefruit Cocktail and Lobster Bisque flamed with Cognac. The takeaway menu is a more reserved affair, featuring a typical selection of butties, pies and battered goods, and prices range from a reasonable £1.30 for a takeaway portion of deliciously fat, salty chips to £14.95 for grilled lemon sole in the restaurant. I can only vouch for the tastiness of the chips and the quiche - the solitary vegetarian option - but I am assured the fish is as fresh and tasty as any you'd find in a seaside resort. As an added bonus, all the fish is hook and line caught from sustainable sources.
