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

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
