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

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
