Yep, food is awful. i live about 1 minute walk away so wanted it to be really nice, but its not. Ordered curry sauce with my chips and his scruffy mate was summoned to make the curry sauce which he done by boiling a kettle and pouring it over some kind of powder and stirring it for a while. battered sausage was inedible. Shame, because they were friendly people.

Another vote for Ken?s. After reading the reviews on here, and the positive feedback online I went to get Cod and Chips last night. A decent, old fashioned, good quality fish and chip shop. Rare find in London, more like the fish and chips you would expect on the pier at the seaside. If you?ve not been before, I would highly recommend.

I find the Fish and Chips at Sema and Emily?s grim. None of my family can eat it. We take a trip to Ken?s to pay a fortune for the fish and chips there. Still not the best compared to all the lovely fish and chips we consumed in Dorset but the best out of a bad bunch around here.


Anyone tried the fish and chips at Saucy on LL?

I didn't like Sea Cow. I ordered large haddock and chips once. Got home to discover 2 measly haddocks squashed together! Cheeky. Rosie's is pretty decent but again I ordered rock once and I noticed the fish smelled like ammonia so I couldn't eat it. I guess not that many people order the rock?


edit to say I've been to Rosie's loads and it's usually decent.

Chip shop curry sauce is always made from sort of powder/granules. Absolutely standard.


Saying that, I'm not a massive fan of Emily's either. Fish just not crispy enough.

I get that, but a good chip shop will have a vat/silver cauldron of it made up, kept warm and ready to serve. This is because the chip shop is so good and popular that they need it close to hand.


The way it was prepared, in some old looking coffee mug by a mate in a grubby, paint stained t-shirt didnt make it very appetising, no matter the basic similarities of the actual make up of the sauce.

Curry sauce is common in Liverpool, Manc, Leeds chippies... much more so than London. And a quick Google seems to indicate that it's big in Ireland. Not sure about Wales... don't go there much...

Glad someone else remembers Steve?s, bob. Corner of Bellenden and Maxted Road. I remember going in there from childhood right up until the late 80?s. Italian family. They sometimes chucked in some batter crackling if you were a regular. Now THAT was a proper fish and chip shop.

    • Niko 07818 607 583 has been doing jobs for us for several years, he is reliable, always there for us, highly recommended! 
    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
