| - The cute entrance with red UK phone booth doors labeled In and Out is appropriate as the inside is not much larger than a phone booth. However, they do serve perhaps the best fish and chips I've ever had. When we went, at 3:30 on Tuesday between Christmas and New Years, the restaurant was packed, with little room to even move inside.
We made our way to the counter, ordered, and somehow the fish and chip gods smiled on us and we snatched one of the few tables (I think there were four, plus some seats against the wall) in the place. You might want to get your food to go if you're not as lucky. The drink machine, condiments, and order pick up are all in the same place, and were a solid mass of people. But we persevered and were rewarded.
The fish was perfect - tender, flaky, delicious. The chips were just as good. Nice and crispy and flavorful. David's shrimp were not as good as the fish, tasty but a little soft, but we shared, so he was not left out. Dipping sauces were good, the mango/curry is particularly good with shrimp. Be sure to get your vinegar packets and ketchup with your drinks because you don't want to have to navigate the crowd again. It was a hassle but the food was so good, I would certainly go back. And the people, although besieged, were very nice. Too bad the restaurant isn't 2-3 times as big though.
