I hope you enjoyed your lunch, with plenty of gravy.

I'd give it 4 out of 10. I had the beefburger, which didn't come with gravy, and it would have been OK if the bun wasn't sodden with melted butter and as wet and gooey as if it had been saturated in gravy. Also, the food took so long to come (there were 12 of us in the party) that we didn't have time for a desert or coffee.

The girl who brought the burger asked if I'd like any sauce. She has a little metal ring through her nose, and others might have asked her if she was ready to go in pork pie. Others might, but I didn't have the sauce.

Knowing that like everywhere today, the chips would be as dry as and taste like cardboard, I opted for salad instead.

I've just consulted their online menu and I'm not impressed.
I would probably have gone for the fish and chips.
The mushy peas would moisten them a little.

Somebody in my group did have it and said that the fish was good. But the fried fish I've had in the last year or so (both in pubs and fish & chip shops has been so poor that I now avoid it.

DV I'll be going to Cromer at the end of next month and will as always have cod 'n chips at Mary Jane's, but by the coast (fish is caught locally) perhaps it'll be better.

With takeaways, at least, the chips can be soaked in vinegar before they're wrapped, and that moistens them a bit.
