💡 Tips before you go
- Order the thick-cut cod or haddock with malt vinegar to cut through the rich, crispy batter.
- Expect to stand at the counter or find a small table; seating is limited and turnover is fast.
- Ask for extra salt and pepper on the side, as British-style chips are often served lightly seasoned.
