I
had
been
looking
forward
to
trying
this
place
for
done
time.
Whilst
I
didn't
have
an
awful
time
by
any
means,
and
certainly
wouldn't
really
complain,
I
must
say
the
experience
was
quite
disappointing
on
balance.
Eaten:
cod
and
chips,
at
table,
tea.
Prices
were
rather
ridiculous
-
top
flight
fish
n
chip
restaurants
in
higher
rent
locations
in
London
don't
often
charge
more
than
this.
But
the
quality
here
was
below
par
for
an
average
take
away
chippie.
Portion
size
was
adequate,
but
for
the
price,
one
might
hope
for
a
larger
fish.
Cod
flesh
actually
was
fine
-
at
least
it
was
tender
and
not
overcooked.
Batter
was
crispy
in
places,
but
somehow
underwhelming.
Chips
were
veering
toward
that
weird
unpleasant
texture
-
not
enough
to
ruin
the
meal
for
me,
but
enough
that
I
wouldn't
bother
going
back.
Overall,
eating
was
more
an
exercise
in
being
fed,
than
a
joyous
pleasure.
All
in
all,
I
couldn't
help
feeling
that
they
really
could
fix
this
fairly
easily
if
they
cared
and
looked
around
to
compare
themselves
against
decent
restaurants;
I
hope
they
do,
as
the
place
has
great
potential,
and
isn't
that
far
off
not-getting-it-wrong.
Service
was
friendly
and
appropriately
thorough,
but
a
little
inexperienced
in
approach
and
demeanor,
and
not
stunning
for
a
place
that
charges
over
£21
for
cod,
chips
and
peas,
and
a
single,
non
refillable
cup
of
builders
tea.
They
did
appear
attentive
to
cleaning;
I
got
the
feeling
that
they
cared,
but
just
didn't
know
better.
I
don't
think
they
would
have
survived
this
way,
pre-gentrification;
I
wish
them
well,
and
hope
either
that
they
and
their
customers
are
happy
as
they
are,
or
that
they
work
on
the
few
things
that
let
them
down.
It's
doable
-
they
wouldn't
need
to
drop
the
prices,
if
they
raised
the
bar,
and
raising
the
bar
shouldn't
cost
them
more
than
knowledge,
skill,
attention
to
detail.
