Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Penguin Fish Bar is your classic fish and chips spot, but it's got its ups and downs. On a good day, you can score some lovely cod and chips with a crunchy batter that won’t leave you feeling like you’ve swallowed a greaseball. Scarlet and the team keep things friendly, but don’t expect a Michelin star level of cuisine.
However, the quality can be hit or miss. Some days the fish is fresh, and other days it’s about as bright as a grey day in England. And if your idea of dining includes edible food, you might want to skip it when it's having an off day. Stick with the classics and avoid the burgers unless you enjoy a mouthful of disappointment.
