thats good enough for me.


Been a regugular for a long time- but tonight, one of the woodrotettes fish was rotten. Not as rotten as the one 3 months ago, which was truly lifting and gag inducing , but still well off. Cant even be arsed to slog back up and demand a refund this time


and before you start, yes I did email them after the last lot, without a response.


Theres about 4 new F&C outlets in the hood now, we will be giving each one a go


v.poor show

I've not eaten there in there for at least a couple of years but I'd like to give a shout out to my local chish n' fip shop (The Two Brothers) up the other end of the Lane which in my opinion in now the best locally. Certainly the biggest improvement because it used to be seriously bad before they took over. Used to think the one on Underhill was the best but they need to up their game again. Not saying they're bad but they used to be very good. Now, it's just good. And I speak as a man who likes his fish supper on a Friday night.

BTW, this was takeaway, so the full gag effect didnt hit us until were were back at Woodrot acres & couldnt be arsed to trudge back with the remains for a refund. Opened the dishwasher this morning to put away the breakfast dishes and the stench from the plate used for the fish last night is truly appalling - the fish was on the cusp on full blown rotting when we tried to nom it last night. Once is a mistake, twice is too much


Sorry Sea Cow, you had a good few years, but this is the end for you and me.

Fresh fish straight from the market was always the Sea Cow's USP wasn't it?


It's not hard to do fish and chips well. Deep fried food doesn't travel well, nor does it stand being left under a heat lamps for longer than 10 mins ish so the tricky part is doing the freshly fried thing consistently at volume....and that usually means a wait in the shop. Changing the oil regularly is also a basic but adds cost so many places cut corners and string it out. Using different oil also makes a huge difference - one reason those French campsite fries from my childhood tasted so good was because they used sunflower oil.


I know......spoken like a true Scotsman.

If you can be arsed, then theres a fekkin good fish fryer in Camberwell just off Walworth Road. Just up from Arments on Westmoreland road.


He's only a young guy, but fries his fish beautifully. Super thin batter and moist flaking fish for around ?4 a go. I sometimes make a detour to eat a piece all on its own, no chips or anything, just fish.


Love it.

I did call into FC & more the other night (pre drinking )and the carton of chips were good- not those dutch pre cut ones at the seacow, but proper randomly cut ones with varying shades of brown , like olden days ones. May give it a go next time the woodrotettes need their F&C needs

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
