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

      EMERGENCY PROTEST: join us today (Tuesday 29th July) outside Downing Street, 1pm [PSC]

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes I do have a vague idea of what's going on in the world, thanks Sephiroth, for explaining it all out to me though. The point I was trying to make, rather badly, because I'm busy and shouldn't be on here, is that I'm sure Jazzer didn't used to be this extreme. Either he's moved into wind-up territory, which people do do on here to keep themselves entertained, or he's just moving further along a spectrum as he gets older, which many people also do.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Thank you for responding. I’m Carl Salawa’s little sister. I was nearly 8 when the incident happened. It’s still a very painful and sensitive topic in my family, so I never really asked too many questions growing up, but what I do know is this: Carl had just turned 18 and was on his way home that evening after spending time with his girlfriend and a small group of friends. The police claimed he jumped to his death, but his friends and some residents said he was being chased by police around the estate and that he fell. The toxicology report showed he had no alcohol or drugs in his system. Carl was well loved, an army cadet, and had just enlisted in the Army or Air Force. He had recently gotten engaged to his long-term girlfriend. He truly had everything to live for. Thank you again for remembering and for speaking about it. It really means a lot, especially with so little available publicly.

      Recommendation for Critter Solutions Pest Control

      By PGB · Posted

      Another recommendation for Roger. He came round promptly to inspect my loft as I was worried I had mice in there. He checked it thoroughly and found no evidence of pests, and refused to take any payment for the trouble of coming out! Thank you Roger!

      you may not have met them - but you've seen them on the streets protesting outside hostels. You've seen them in the 30% support for Reform. You may not have met them, but they sure do exist
