| - Malt N Salt usually pops up in my restaurant searches for Pickering but this is my first time coming here, in my search for Fish & Chips on Good Friday. They were quite busy when I arrived shortly before 6pm and I assume the nine staff running around behind the counter were there for the Good Friday rush.
We ordered one of their Family Packs - 4 pieces of halibut, 2 orders of fries, 1 order of onion rings, 1 large gravy, and 1 large coleslaw. On this day, it was 39.95, 1.00 off because they weren't serving onion rings. I guess their fryers were too busy. We paid and got a number in the queue. Despite the fifteen or so orders ahead of us, they got the foods out pretty quickly. I could see each piece of fish being battered and dipped in ther fryer and the fries being done in another fryer. They had a good system going to manage the rush.
I observed all the orders, including ours, being boxed, wrapped, labeled, and boxed again. Very neat. Nice touch.
The fish was still crispy when we got back home. It had a nice light batter. The fries weren't as crispy, maybe from being wrapped too well, allowing it to sweat. They were still good. The gravy was thick and a little on the salty side. It could probably have been fixed with a little hot water. The coleslaw was creamy, the way I like it.
I enjoyed the meal and I was impressed with the efficiency of the service on such a busy day. It's definitely worth a return visit.
