SJ's right - they offer the thin spindly fries option or the big fat proper chip one

The choice is yours (and that is how it should be ;-))

DH offer chips and/or fries as a side as well as with burgers -


"Hand-Cut, Twice-Cooked Chips or Fries w/ Tangy Malt Vinegar Mayo ?2.95"

How long did you wait? We tried to get in but were informed the queue was 3 hours wait time - so we left. Modern "no booking" ideas may be good for the buzz, informality and impetuous types but they're a real pain when you want to plan an evening

Hamburgers are an American institution. The holy grail of hamburgers appears to be those sampled in the US. That is what I mean by Yankee like. Burger and fries. It's semantics. Over here fries are usually called chips unless you want to show how transatlantic you are. They are the same thing but can be different shapes.

I think a 'fruit crisp' in the US is similar to a 'fruit crumble' in the UK.


Crumble in the US appears to mean the same as crumb in the UK, and there the chain ends ;-)

The lobster's the bargain. It's all the same price: lobster n chips, lobster roll n chips, burger n chips - ?20. Can't imagine why anyone would have the burger really. Suppose it keeps the allergics happy.

Yes, a fruit crisp is like a fruit crumble, but it usually has oats in it as well, not just flour, sugar and butter. And then there is also a slump and a grunt.


You would need to ask for an apple crisp or whatever fruit for someone to understand you. A crumb cake has a crumble like topping on it.

RosieH/Otta - yeah, I don't understand why anyone would go for the burger either. They did look good coming out, but not that good!


Marmora Man - we arrived at 12:10 on a Friday lunchtime, and had a 45 min wait. I hear that early dinner (i.e. 5:30pm) is a good time to go.

Apparently it's doing VERY well. So much so that I think this will be the next restaurant trend..... Menus with 2 or 3 choices on them! Mark Hix will be serving chicken and steak only from one of his places!

    • Near the loos. Did this really need to happen?
    • Does anyone have any experience reducing the solar gain from their windows and roof lights?  E.g. using window film, low u-value glass and/or external shutters? What and who do you recommend?  How much did it cost and when?  We have a fairly standard south facing ED terrace with Velux windows (internal blinds only), a roof light, uPVC double-glazed sash windows and wooden double-glazed french door all fitted 2015ish. Trying to future proof the house against future hot summers without resorting to air con.
