Fish is something I rarely order in a pub...I don;t think it cooks anything like a fish shop. If I was going to a restaurant I steer clear of most fish because I'm not that keen, apart from prawns
Sorry it turned out crap

They came and took our order. Me â fish and chips. Auntie and uncle â chicken. Starters was a salad bar, help yourself to as much as you want. I didnât go daft cos I wasnât sure about what size the meal was gonna be. We hadnât even finished our starter and the main turned up! The fish was huge with batter and a bit more brown than it shouldâve been but no matter. I cut into it to cool it down a bit and started on the chips and mushy peas and then cut the fish up. Pam and Steve werenât happy so they asked for it to be taken back. 5/6 minutes later out they came with another full dinner! But meanwhile they had finished theirs and I was eating alone. I couldnât finish it all so had to leave the batter and some chips.
It was ok though, there was nothing else wrong with it except the fish.
Sorry it's a bit long
Awwwww...what a shame

It wasn't too bad. It was just the fact they came out with another full dinner after I'd already eaten some so consequently I was full and I was annoyed that they'd paid for a dinner that I didn't/couldn't eat all of
Funny thing was...........I was in between gammon and fish and chips.......I obviously ordered the wrong one

I thought they might have just added the new fish to it
Never mind, I'll know the next time we go there

last week I had steak and ale pie...Hoochie got it last time they were here and said it was gorgeous...I must admit it was delicious. I never touched the chips but ate the veg

they wouldn't because the chips would be cold. They must have cooked it on too high a temp
shake time...brb

When they brought the new dinner out the man said he'd had a go at the chef. I was uneasy with that

I was actually...you have to put it in a hand shaker and give it a good 30 seconds to get the lumps out...then I throw it into the microwave and add coffee

Well, the chef could have actually given people food poisoning... so had to be told
