Keedle Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The new owners are waiting for all the necessary planning permission ie To site gas bottles . They have also bought flat above as there was issues with staff toilets . I also heard they are hoping to have a small eating area . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlossimon Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I vote for the Fort, Frankie's I believe need to change their oil more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 The Happy Haddock sells garlic mayo dipping sauce on the counter, and is absurdly close to The Marlicks, where they don't seem to mind if you east your supper if you're buying a pint - something I discovered this Sunday to my profound joy.

Longdog Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 We went to Frankies on Saturday for a treat after a walk, ate in, and the haddock and chips were spot on, the best I've had since being up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest harri2006 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Went to the new chippy today. Portion of fish was not very much considering it cost £4.30 for a sinlge fish. The batter on my king rib was rather hard. On the plus side tho, the chips were lovely and they had chip shop brown sauce mmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Chips are excellent (had some really tired ones from both The Fort and the Happy Haddock recently) but the white pudding needed to be cooked in hotter oil I think. The batter was pale and flabby, not crisp at all. In fact the contents of their counter of the pre-fried fish, meat, etc wore the same coloured batter. I hope this is teething problems because their chips were excellent and the white pudding was a good make but needed longer imho. Yum, yum! I am keen to try the kebabs but not until I am 100% convinced everything is cooked for long enough...... for obvious reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
