A June evening, summer temporarily absent and still in need of a jacket. I want battered fish, chips, mushy peas and a cup of tea before the next World Cup fixture… Holburn and The Fryer's Delight awaited that order as I stomped my way there. I arrived, entered, sat down, ordered and I was supping my tea almost immediately. During the wait, the Portuguese proprietor pictured, taunted each sorry England supporter from order to handover of their take away tea. Or is that dinner? His confidence stemmed from a midday 7-0 drumming of Korea. Oh how different that conversation would be now…Still, it's what makes this chippy great. Although, it can be hit or miss on a rare occasion. Good chippies are hard to find in London, well, almost anywhere. This plaice has red Formica tables and red booth style seats which make for a great nostalgic tea, a wintry scran or quick feed before embarking on a beer fuelled session. Mine arrived, a massive hit too… Go sample.
