Disappointing. I was told this was one of the best places to get proper fish and chips, having had some fairly rough experiences. It's not all bad, but it fell very short of the gold standard. Certainly not worth the 20k drive. They offer a wide menu, and this may be the problem, as they're spread too thin. But this is about the fish and chips. The chips themselves were better than average, although a little dry. The local potatoes available may have a lot to do with that. They weren't greasy, fried in a decent oil rather than animal fat. If you're looking for a cholesterol special followed by a coronary bypass then keep looking, but if you're after authentic British style chip this is close. The fish, however, wasn't great. I don't know what they did to it but it was like it was cooked in extremely light tempura batter or possibly dusted in flour and grilled. No golden batter, and somewhat dry. She such a let down when we got home and opened it. It was probably a reasonable, but thin, bit of fish to start with. They do, however, do a decent vegan burger, which is hard to find, so it's not a total disaster. But if it's traditional British-style fish and chips, I'm afraid this isn't it. Although I have actually had worse, and at a higher price, in the Yarra Valley.
