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.

*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.

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      By exdulwicher · Posted

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
