Five members of Meetup[dot]com?s Thrifty Gourmets group and I field-tested this restaurant---essentially, a snack bar---on Tuesday, August 26th at 7:45 PM. It was staffed by a British-sounding counterman, who greeted us in a gruff but friendly fashion, and three or four other employees who prepared the food. The counterman took our orders quickly and called them out as soon as they were available to be picked up. They were prepared correctly and presented straightforwardly in baskets. I ordered a large and small portion of the fried cod, a small portion of chips and a canned Boddington?s ale. The fish itself was thick and meaty, but flavorless. Its coating was light, fresh and tasty, however. I needed to add salt in order to draw flavor out of the dish. The chips were mushy and also flavorless. I enjoyed exploring this restaurant with my associates and sampling fried treats, but didn?t think that my dinner was particularly good or a value. Large order+small order+chips+beer=$23.
Pros: Friendly counterman; quick service; tasty coating on fish.
Cons: Flavorless fish; mushy chips; below-average value.
