I've just experienced the best fish and chips I've ever had. My previous pic for this, was a place in Kennett Square that has been closed for repairs for a couple of years now. I was so excited when I saw it show up to the table because I could tell it was cooked perfectly. The breading was light, crunchy and not oily. The fish tasted buttery and fluffy and the tartar sauce was spot on. It wasn't too much or too little and it also came with french fries that needed no other topping. My guess is both were cooked in clean oil and the chef knew just how long to cook them both. The coleslaw was also delicious and a nice pallet cleanser. On top of that they serve Harp and Guinness on tap and the bartender couldn't have been more delightful. I was also secretly happy that my wife ordered the same thing so I didn't have to share. My wife also had the homemade tea which she said was delicious, as it must have been she had three glasses. We will most certainly be back soon and while I might be convinced to try some other stuff on the menu my heart right now is thinking about that fish and chips.

I don’t think you can ask for a better experience than this. Ellie is the golden standard for bartending, and the historic yet enticingly modern atmosphere keeps you coming back for more. Drinks, food, service, atmosphere... EVERYTHING comes together for a truly memorable experience each time you open the door.

This place has become a favorite of ours due to the relaxed atmosphere, friendly/great service and nice food. Their menu doesn't have a ton of choices, but we have no problems finding something yummy. We have never had a long wait after placing an order.

Lovely place for a sip and bite. Of course, get the fish and chips. You can add parm and garlic seasoning to those fries. The fish was cooked perfectly, crispy battered, moist flaky fish. We made that into an pre-meal snack. The Portabella burger had great flavors. Full size, and very filling. The chicken and corn chowder was warm and delicious. Add crab meat for extra luxury.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were welcomed by Brice who kindly sat us and made us feel home. We put in an order for quesadillas and sliders. Everything was excellent. The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent out of the way pub! I went mid-afternoon and there were only a few people at the bar. Great atmosphere, TVs over the bar so you can watch some sports. Bartender was super nice. I had the fish and chips and a Tito's Moscow Mule with cranberry juice. The fish was amazing! Not the frozen kind you get at the store, there was a lot of fish, battered and crispy. French fries were delicious, not too much salt. Perfection! If you're in the area, you need to check this place out!
