Louisa Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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.

*Bob* Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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.

Louisa Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 *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. Louisa.

*Bob* Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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. Louisa.

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.

*Bob* Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55042-that-fancy-fish-and-chip-place-next-to-the-chicken-shop/page/3/#findComment-828389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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.

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.
