Jeremy I don't think its the pricing that's the only issue, it's the standard. I was a big fan of Wheelers of St James's back in the day (not sure if it even exists today) and they served some absolutely lovely freshly prepared fish meals (and a an excellent wine menu to boot), I considered them pricy but always on the button with quality and it was a nice treat. By the sounds of this place it's a big standard chippy that happens to have more variety in fish and charges a little extra for something that's not even upto the standard of an old school fish & chip shop.

Yes, this completely

I think you have to ask yourself how long you're prepared to spend with your nose pressed up against the glass looking in; going inside, not buying anything and coming out again; speculating, deliberating and endlessly wondering what that sub-?10 meal is actually going to be like.


Go in. Buy. Eat. Decide. Move on.

*Bob* I refuse to spend a penny over the magic tenner for fish and chips. Something in the price range of 4-6 pounds is more my cup of tea, but I am tempted now I know they serve booze. If I do go in I will not be ordering British water fish, as it seems pointless at the extra prices. Something more exotic with a nice glass of white wine maybe. If it's crap I won't hold back, it's only fair.

Can I come with and watch you?


I can only imagine your reaction as you're seated on rustic 'contemporary' benching, huffing and puffing as little Max / Oliver / India (insert cliche child name of choice) buzz about whilst their parents look stare at their iphones.

No, I had a bad impression of the place based on price, but thought the food might be good so decided to check.

From what I've read here: you pay for the experience.


Great. If you want the experience, go for it.

Personally, I hate being forced to smile back at someone as they stitch me up.

It's false. I'm not your friend, I'm your effing customer and this is the first time we've met


(sorry for the siderant, this is a pet peeve of mine)



@Jeremy - I did find a cheap place yesterday 1 minute up the road from the station. Cant remember the name

Googling "Ramsden's Bluewater" shows it's around 1hr 30 by public transport - bit of a trek to get fish and chips (+ cost of getting there)!

The Question was -- Where can you get fish and chips (eat in) for under ?6? -- and I answered it..


I go Shopping at Bluewater 40mins in the car and free parking all day.

A lot easier than shopping in the West End and carrying stuff on the bus.

I hope it's as good as the Harry Ramsden Euston Experience - which I believe is also under ?6.


You get a tiny piece of fish and about 8 chips, which you get to eat while sitting on a sticky vinyl-backed chair with the stuffing falling out of it.


Well greasy. Tastes ok though. You can't go *that* far wrong with fish and chips, really.


(That said, the old Dolphin fish bar on FHR managed)

Dulwich Fryer, I think you mean. And it is good (at least used to be, I haven't been since the owner changed). I'm sure it is a bit cheaper than ?6.75 for cod and chips, but no so much as to make SC look outrageous.

      East Dulwich On The Water!

      By Zak · Posted

      Yes, it would be great to see them nationalised. Along with the other water companies they seem to have a great business model: -submit a 5 year plan to the regulator asking for yearly price increases to cover the cost of improving the infrastructure and get them to approve it - carry on paying handsome dividends to shareholders and eye watering salaries to senior executives  - fail to achieve the infrastructure targets at the end of the five years, make some excuses and draw up the next plan Magic!

      Estate Agents - recommendations/avoid?

      By Mau · Posted

      Avoid KFH. Agree with other comments that it is best to talk to lots of people.  Also, (not particularly related to the above agent), I wish I had read the reviews a lot more, rather than relying on numbers.  Depending on whether you are renting, letting, selling or buying the reviews often differ a lot depending on the relationship you have with the agent and it is worth checking whether the good/bad reviews match your situation.
