Golden Hind

Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - Mushy peas were smooth, sweet and inoffensive, it's quite standard, but disappointingly the chips were soggy and no better than any takeaway. There are reports that these bad boys are double fried maris pipers, well if they are, it makes it even more disappointing then as they were just bad. Thank goodness for Grimsby, because the fish was gloriously flaky, juicy all the way through and which exhibited a bouquet of greasiness. I was most impressed with the portions - humongous.

Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - It is said that the secret to really good fish and chips is in the batter and quality of the ingredients. At the Golden Hind, they use a mystery batter mixture and measure the amount of breading to fish meticulously; this leads to a scrumptiously crisp, unusually light and very clean result with virtually no greasy trace. As regards the produce, their purveyors supply them with fresh-caught seafood daily from Grimsby. No freezing is involved and indeed, the food tasted all the better for this.
