Since I now live in the boonies, chippies are a dime a dozen in our neck of the woods. But we'd heard this one is a little different, a little. Well, classic. But, very good. So, we decided to give it a go, and boy were we pleased.
Walking in, you see that it's not just a take away chippy. You can sit in the restaurant as well and get served. So we went with that option. The minute you sit down, they serve a small plate of shrimp. Last evening's had a whole bunch of roe, which freaked my partner out a little, but hey, more for me! :)
Anyway, the portion sizes here are much more appropriate than most chippies in London, and a small cod and chips is a good enough meal for one. The batter is very crispy, and the chips tasty. The restaurant is even licensed, so we had a white wine each (cheap wine btw) and a fry up for dinner. Classy!
It's definitely more "local" and feels like a timeless British kind of an establishment where it's less like Superfish, but more like "Cheers" where everybody does know your name. A great chippy, oozing with atmosphere, service and classic British... "charm". read more
