The Ark review by micheal carr

What a fantastic restuarant one of a kind in the area. We have eaten there on numerous occasions and every time we leave with a smile. The food is plain yet good and wholesome if you are in the mood for something different they have got a very well stocked specials board and other dishes that differ from the traditional fish and chips. The staff are absolutely fantasic and although we had to wait for a table wich was worth it the manageress seemed to seat us quicker than the estimated waiting time, you could definately see she was well respected by the staff and i think this plays a role in the success of this well oiled machine that is the ark.

When we were seated a memeber of staff asked if she could take my coat and i know this isnt usually their policy but i suppose you get treated by the way you treat other people! After we ordered a fantasic value for money bottle of wine wich i am sure i have seen on a wine list in Claridges before, we started tucking in to some salmon gravadlax and seared scallops with garlic butter wich just made your mouth water for the next course wich was grilled cod with potted shrimps and basil butter and for my partner middle skate deep fried with the best chips i have had in ages! For dessert we both opted for the warm chocolate brownie with ice-cream and some liquer coffees to wash it down.

All in all we both had a lovely night again at the ark the friendliness and warmth of the staff (and the food of course) is what brings us back everytime and to think you can get all of that in a fish and chips restuarant in the east end

Like the food, this review is a bit fishy. The author cannot spell his own Christian name correctly.
