Jeremy I don't think its the pricing that's the only issue, it's the standard. I was a big fan of Wheelers of St James's back in the day (not sure if it even exists today) and they served some absolutely lovely freshly prepared fish meals (and a an excellent wine menu to boot), I considered them pricy but always on the button with quality and it was a nice treat. By the sounds of this place it's a big standard chippy that happens to have more variety in fish and charges a little extra for something that's not even upto the standard of an old school fish & chip shop.

I think you have to ask yourself how long you're prepared to spend with your nose pressed up against the glass looking in; going inside, not buying anything and coming out again; speculating, deliberating and endlessly wondering what that sub-?10 meal is actually going to be like.


Go in. Buy. Eat. Decide. Move on.

*Bob* I refuse to spend a penny over the magic tenner for fish and chips. Something in the price range of 4-6 pounds is more my cup of tea, but I am tempted now I know they serve booze. If I do go in I will not be ordering British water fish, as it seems pointless at the extra prices. Something more exotic with a nice glass of white wine maybe. If it's crap I won't hold back, it's only fair.

Can I come with and watch you?


I can only imagine your reaction as you're seated on rustic 'contemporary' benching, huffing and puffing as little Max / Oliver / India (insert cliche child name of choice) buzz about whilst their parents look stare at their iphones.

No, I had a bad impression of the place based on price, but thought the food might be good so decided to check.

From what I've read here: you pay for the experience.


Great. If you want the experience, go for it.

Personally, I hate being forced to smile back at someone as they stitch me up.

It's false. I'm not your friend, I'm your effing customer and this is the first time we've met


(sorry for the siderant, this is a pet peeve of mine)



@Jeremy - I did find a cheap place yesterday 1 minute up the road from the station. Cant remember the name

Googling "Ramsden's Bluewater" shows it's around 1hr 30 by public transport - bit of a trek to get fish and chips (+ cost of getting there)!

The Question was -- Where can you get fish and chips (eat in) for under ?6? -- and I answered it..


I go Shopping at Bluewater 40mins in the car and free parking all day.

A lot easier than shopping in the West End and carrying stuff on the bus.

I hope it's as good as the Harry Ramsden Euston Experience - which I believe is also under ?6.


You get a tiny piece of fish and about 8 chips, which you get to eat while sitting on a sticky vinyl-backed chair with the stuffing falling out of it.


Well greasy. Tastes ok though. You can't go *that* far wrong with fish and chips, really.


(That said, the old Dolphin fish bar on FHR managed)

Dulwich Fryer, I think you mean. And it is good (at least used to be, I haven't been since the owner changed). I'm sure it is a bit cheaper than ?6.75 for cod and chips, but no so much as to make SC look outrageous.

      I'd actually go the whole hog and do a fondue, we all remember them fondly from parties in the last century or trips to Switzerland.  As long as it is cheese, not chocolate, urghhh

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
