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.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “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 ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
