That fancy fish and chip place, next to the chicken shop

[Louisa]

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.

Yes, this completely

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.

The fish place on east dulwich rd is really good.

^^^^ This.

Judging by tetris' last post it reads like they had already decided about Sea Cow, which begs the question why the fook did they bother with the thread in the first place...

*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.

[Louisa]

Exactly *Bob*. From my peeping through the window sessions I've noticed lots of Middle class parents with annoying kids running around. Wooden benches. Meh. I've not even been inside and I'm angry.

Where can you get fish and chips (eat in) for under ?6?

[Louisa]

Morrisons (with a cup of tea and bread and butter thrown in too).

Here's a timeout review of something fishy in Lewisham for those who don't believe me. Trust me on this it's well worth a visit.

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)!

[KidKruger]

I know a great place in Newsome, Huddersfield, for fish and chips - if we're taking this global..

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)

[Rolo Tomasi]

The Arnside Chippy is amazing. Try that one.

OK, fair answer!

[Jah Lush]

Who in their right mind would want to go shopping at Bluewater? I've only ever been once and it was an absolute fecking nightmare. Never again. It's a vile, shopping carbuncle in the middle of Kent.

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.

[DulwichFox]

I do...

I use John Lewis.. M&S .. Boots .. River Island .. Next ... Steamer Trading (Cook Shop)..

Holland & Barrett .. EE .. Apple .. Waterstones .. JD Sports.. And of course Harry Ramsden...

All under one roof,

Brilliant..
