Will have to try this one out. It’s only down the road.
£14.70 for regular cod and chips it appears.

I trhink you mean Huss - Bull Huss/Rock Salmon/Nursehound, a member of the shark family. We used to go to the Britannia and Pilot quite regularly pre covid, both do good fish and chips.

My grandparents called it gurnett. It used to be a bit cheaper than cod.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursehound
Also in Dungeness - not tried it but herd good reports. https://www.dungenesssnackshack.com/menu

Fish looks more like the tail/scrag end of Codling to me. Chips are down to personal taste but for me proper chip shop chips should have a fair bit of 'bendiness' to them if you hold a long one by the end.
Is that still referenced as the angle of dangle? Dredged up from A level Food chemistry module.FiF said:

If tourists are stupid enough to go there fairnplay to rick.https://youtu.be/mE04k9u210g?si=NnQ6HM9hRC5COUQ_
It's always poor ime, but it's not actually overpriced all things considered and that review is just stupid. Like those whining about paying for the tartare etc.
It's a little tub of home made, bland imo, but all comparable places charge for condiments like that.

It's a shame as we went probably 10 years ago and it was fantastic, probably top 3 of my life. But clearly, gone massively downhill.Only one of rickys really worth eating in is the seafood, which is consistently superb I think.

If that was good fish, scampi that wasn’t Young’s*, mushy peas that weren’t a blob and gravy that wasn’t cold and congealed then it would have been a lot better.
- not sure I’d ever go ‘off-piste’ and have scampi in a chippy, you kind of set yourself up for a fall by having something you really should know is from the freezer. Stick to the fish and battered sausages.

People who holiday in Padstow don't actually eat.
It's the same market as Tom Aitkens' 'Tom's Plaice' in Chelsea pre the 2008 banking crash when a piece of gurnard the size of a fish finger, plus about six chips was selling at £12.
I may be due a parrot but eh?!It's the same market as Tom Aitkens' 'Tom's Plaice' in Chelsea pre the 2008 banking crash when a piece of gurnard the size of a fish finger, plus about six chips was selling at £12.
BTW one doesn't holiday in Padstow, one gets down their for the weekend when can surely?
But Padstowitself is spoilt beyond repair.
I always think what do people expect, its a chippy, at the end of the day its only fish and chips, what kind of transformation do they expect Rickie to perform.
But there in lies the problem, TV/celeb, chef’s, big things so much, the public have an unrealistic expectation of what they’re going to get; hence reviews that seem unfair, but in reality reflect the over – hyped image, being sold to them.

It all depends on the fryer on duty imo. i've been to the Magpie in Whitby, both the cafe and the takeaway. The cafe was OK, nothing
special, the takeaway was unadulterated garbage.
We've found a far better shop, closer to the cottage and far less hassle for parking.
Here at home, over the years we've split our custom across 3 shops, each had merits, but the most commonly used one has changed hands. First visit under new owners a decent time after changing hands so they'd had time to figure out the ropes. Fish was a bit soso, but undercooked chips, actually physically undercooked can't have been checked, unforgiveable. Not going back.
