What way is there to make a northerner happy other than by sitting him down in front of a plate of fish and chips (with mushy peas)
Whilst visiting family down in Norfolk they told me of this chippy, with dine in that does "the best fish around" approaching this place I could see a Que. of folk outside the building all stood there awaiting the fish to be cooked fresh. As we went to sit inside we found a table and like most little businesses we where greeted with a cheery hello.
Normally I just order fish and chips but on this menu I could choose which fish I wanted. Of course being northern I had to have a bit of "wet" with it, and pored my peas over my fish.
As I did this a voice in the corner of the room stated to the rest of the diners that I must be northern as only northern folk pore peas over there fish, apparently... I confirmed with the gentleman that I was a northerner and he said that the local fish caught down here is second best to fish up north which made me proud.
Anyway, I digress... The fish was indeed very nice, not too oily and the chips where spot on! The menu just doesn't include fish, there's sausages, pies and much much more!
Staff where more than helpful and friendly! This well priced small business is a little gem in Fakenham and I will return again when I'm next down. read more
