Booked table for 7,30 with friends a get together after 6 months wait, table was ready welcome was very pleasant and friendly. did not give you chance to sit down before they were asking what you wanted to drink. We ordered drinks and then started looking at menu again within minutes they were up with their ordering tablet asking if we were ready, felt rushed so ordered the 4 meals, there was only 2 more couples on the tables eating so they were not really rushed off their feet. Meals came within about 12 minutes 3 looked good but I knew mine was not going to be good. I ordered cod triple cooked chips with mushy peas. the batter was so hard and crispy the fish inside was overcooked even when I got to the thicker end the fish was dry tasteless and the batter hard, even the chips were hard and crispy overcooked like they had gone cold and then recooked same as the fish, the nicest thing on the plate was the tarter sauce, I do not like complaining so just battled on and ate what i could . the other 3 meals were very good and friends enjoyed them. Anyway poor choice for me ,we had a few more drinks, then paid the bill , As we were leaving Lee one of the waiters asked if everything was alright I did have to mention about the fish and chips not being very good and for the price I was shocked, He did apologise to us and said we should of said something. I dont like complaining especially as we waited so long for our get together I did not want to ruin our conversation and the atmosphere we have when we get together.Really I should of said something as what I had was really the worst food I have had at the Old Crown Lentons Lane.
