The Friendly Plaice, Atherstone, Warwickshire



Sometimes it’s very difficult to order fish and chips. One has to repeat oneself several times. You would think it so easy to order fish and chips in a shop that specialises in selling said meal. 




The display had haddock in various sizes. I ordered medium but was told that they only serve haddock in a large size. Cod it was then. When I’d made it clear I wanted my meal open by saying “on a tray” I thought to myself ‘this is the term I must use from now on’ as the term “open” now seems defunct. 






The shop was pleasant and spacious with added phone chargers! I plugged in whilst my fish was cooked to order. 


The batter on the fish was a bit too thick for my liking. I ate some but it had little flavour so I discarded most of it. The chips were thick cut and had a nice floury texture but again had little flavour.
