First impression: this décor was fresh, charming and cozy. There were little details all over reminding everyone of the British influence. It was a really calming experience.
I went for broke and got the pollock and chips. I enjoy fish, but I figured when it was battered and fried, any white fish would do. Boy was I naïve. While the pollock was fresh, I am sure the flavour would have been more enjoyable had I chose the haddock or halibut. Both dishes are still really affordable, so I recommend not being as frugal as I was!!
The batter was SO deliciously crispy, just the right thickness and not too heavy. And the fish was still moist and flaky inside. It was a skill that I had not had not yes experienced at any other restaurant. The portions were huge, I could only eat one filet and brought the other home. I actually measured when I got home, and the filet was 10" long!!! The fries.. well I would have liked longer fries for finger usage, but these short, fat ones were still really good. They re-heat really well which is a bonus for these huge portions!
Now - lets talk coleslaw. I love coleslaw. If it's a side, I'm there. This one was good, but I'm a vinegar and oil gal, and this creamy was just not converting me in any way. Still flavourful, but I would LOVE if there was an option of the two.
Anyway, I will be back. I want to try the po'boy, the calamari, fried shrimp... pretty much any and all of the things in my mouth. This place will do well in Newmarket!!
