Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The outdoor seating had beautiful flowers and a lovely view, and everything was perfect."
• "It lies apart from noise and offers the most popular English food in best way."

• "Really nice local atmosphere."

• "A cozy little corner spot!"

Cons:

• "Place is small and on a downside it smells a lot fried fish."
• "The environment is OK but It’s not exactly like I’m eating at the top of the Shard."
• "It's tired and grotty with a dirty manky old awning separating the seating area, which is basically a bit of pavement, from the main road."
• "Especially did not enjoy the chips, which were not at all crispy but more of soggy, oil-filled potato strips."
• "There are very limited seating - 12 pax tops!"
• "It’s not right in the centre of London or even Greenwich, which meant it was way less crowded than other 5-star places."
• "Greenwich is pretty far from where I live, and there will be people who might cancel a trip simply because it is too much travel."

Value

Pros:

• "Everything is reasonably priced."
• "Value for money, good service and it met my high expectations."
• "Not the cheapest, but by far worth it."
• "It was crazy good, big portion for a reasonable prices."
• "3 x large cheese burgers & chips with a soft drink = £28.75 That’s a great price for 3 meals anywhere but in London - that’s fab!"
• "The prices are lower than usual in London, but you can be sure you are going to be full."
• "The pricing was reasonable for UK and we had a wonderful meal."

Cons:

• "Dine-in prices start at about 16-18 for fish and chips, which I felt was WAY too much higher than the takeaway prices."
• "They charge almost a 50% markup to eat-in rather than takeaway."
• "And talk about over priced, they want to charge you an extra £5 (£12) for a piece of cod to 'sit in' and £5 for a portion of chips."
• "The food is very expensive and it's not the price you see on the board."
• "The price here is a bit on the high side, but it's London, so you'll just have to deal with that."
• "The prices have essentially doubled even in the last year which is crazy."
• "Rather terrifying when you see large cod in April was £8.50 and now, six months later, it's £13.50."
