Fish and Chips are a family staple and is typically a weekly treat. I grew up with a fantastic local which was always good. What makes good? I can say it is not price or quantity, it is quality. Clean oil at the correct temperature Chips cooked for the correct time. Fish batter: correct consistency. Not too thick and cooked through. Drain: Important to allow all excess oil to drain before packaging. If in doubt, shake and wait some more. Hot dogs: battered in-house. Burgers: Full iceberg lettuce leaves, beef patty and balanced ingredients. Bun light toasted. Built up in typical order. Bun, sauce, onion, patty, cheese, egg, lettuce, tomato, mayo, bun. Loosely speaking. Basically don't put the patty on top of the lettuce!! Knowing these expectations and being so fortunate growing up they are big shoes to fill, so easy to miss the high expectations. Imagine though that week to week it is always a miss. Maybe I am wrong and this is just how they are meant to be?? Soggy undercooked chips Uncooked fish batter and dripping in grease Burger that has shredded limp lettuce in the sauce under the patty with way too much mayo and just not pleasing. Cheap pre packaged undercooked hot dogs, even the kids were disappointed!! Service was good though. Question is, do I now just drive all the way to Hornby to get takeaways now? Guess so, as based on the last few attempts at a hit there has been only misses. A real shame as was hoping the local would provide my kids the same weekly treat I enjoyed. I posted this so anyone with high expectations lowers them. I doubt I will risk it again.
