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

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
