Ordering Strategy

Stick to the fried classics; grab a booth for the full retro experience or take away if you are rushing.

What to order

Safe first

Haddock and Chips

Praised for its yielding golden batter and actual, adroitly seasoned fish flavor paired with heftily cut chips that deliver a sweet pleasure-jolt.

Hungry

Sausage in Batter and Chips

An enormous portion described as a reliable hangover cure that prompts an acute mix of both horror and jealousy.

Wildcard

Pickled Cucumber

A 'slug-green whopper' that is nicely sharp and charmingly sliced like a briny hassleback.

What to skip

Skip
Roast ChickenDescribed as dry and pappy enough to reaffirm why no sane person orders it in a chippy.
Skip
Curry SauceCriticized for being a thin and overly sweetened accompaniment.
