Fish and Chips - Rose and Crown

I am a stickler when it comes to fish and chips. A friend of mine and I have been trying fish and chips at just about every restaurant and pub we've been at, rating them (to ourselves) as we go. Personally, I find that besides places that specialize in the dish, like Joey's Only and Back Home Fish and Chips, the best place to get a delicious, large portion is at pubs.

This meal of fish and chips from the Rose and Crown is enough for two to share (and we did). Rose and Crown's fries are the battered, bottleneck variety which, when served crispy, are excellent (and they were). The two pieces of fish were large, not greasy, and had seasoning mixed in with the batter, which was just right, without being too thick.

My beverage of choice was a bottle of Pilsner, which is my favourite domestic beer (other than microbrews). This was a wonderful summer lunch for two.
