First visit found the Chips really poor – soggy with a strange aftertaste – and the fish was second rate with poor batter and didn’t taste like cod or haddock! Gave it a another try and whilst the chips were the same the pies and sausages were excellent. Gave it another try and pitched up at 1015 pm a couple of weeks ago to be told by a grumpy member of staff that they close at 10pm. Web site says 1030pm. Tried again last week at 950pm to be told the same….pointed out it wasn’t 10pm but in didn’t matter – and staff member was really grumpy this time. Website still says 1030pm. Right, I thought, one more go and if it’s not right this time I’ll go elsewhere so went in yesterday at 1230 pm and ordered a minced steak and onion pie and as the server got it out with the tongs she burst the crust and put it in the bag with the gravy going everywhere. I asked her if this is what happened and she got grumpy with me saying it wasn’t her fault and what else could she do! Put it in one of the boxes with the chips I suggested, as had been done in my previous visits. I asked for another pie and she got really grumpy so I said forget it and went to go. She asked, really aggressively, what the problem was and I responded that I was going elsewhere as she didn’t care about what she was doing and was rude and aggressive. Don’t believe the website guys; miserable staff and poor fish and chips – they should rebrand themselves as a pie and sausage shop as those were good but they should also invest in training their staff in people skills.

Just listen to yourself. You are not a food critic, you’re a comedian. What a joke!

Got told off for attemting to put ketchup on my food. Actually preferred this place when it was the Cosy fish bar -better value then. W’ont be going back.

Not quite all for we have now you Daniel, God bless the internet eh?

Masood – Do you work at Kennedy’s? Or are you friends with someone who does? I’ve had the fish and chips there and I don’t even rate it as the best in EC1 postal code, much less London.

It sounds like you’re just looking for places to judge for pure pleasure. If you genuinely had an issue with your food, why didn’t you say something to the restaurant rather than trying to get a reaction out of them by giving some sort of silent treatment. How the hell does anyone know what you want or don’t want if you don’t say anything. It’s actually quite pathetic and sounds a lot like you’re just attention-seeking. I’m a regular customer there and have ordered a lot from them. Unlike you, I got a huge, beautifully cooked piece of cod in a nice crispy batter with lovely chips served seperately. The service is wonderful if you don’t act like a prick towards them, I would have reacted the same way if I had to deal with you. I believe that they are good enough for me to actually sit here and defend them because I believe that what you’re doing is purely slander.

Boyden – If you live in that area you should probably be getting your fish fix at Fish Central. Do you know it?

On my return visit (eat-in in the upstairs restaurant) the food was OK but the service was very poor, which was also my experience at their Goswell Rd branch. As a local, I’ll probably stick to take-away.
