Neither Ross nor I really needed chips, but it felt sensible to have something local for lunch. We had strayed into the suburb of Somerford, which is around a twenty minute walk away from the centre of Christchurch.
The menu board and everything was clearly priced. I was tempted to get a pie, but since I didn’t really need chips I decided not to get something else that I didn’t really need. The service was polite and friendly, although I was slightly disappointed that they didn’t offer different sized portions of chips as I only wanted small.
Chips seem to usually be served in boxes now, which seems to me to be a great improvement. I struggled to hold these as they were so hot, although that might be more testament to my delicate skin. I prefer the small and crispy chips and one advantage of this packaging is that they fall to the bottom and so I got to enjoy those last. As for the chips, they were golden on the exterior and fluffy inside, tasting just as I was expecting.
I obviously finished all of the chips as I’m naturally quite greedy, as did Ross with his, but it wasn’t easy as the portion was generous. As mentioned, they had an enjoyable taste, aided by the generous amounts of salt and vinegar that I decided that I needed. Anyway, the online reviews are mostly positive, the service was friendly and I thought that I got reasonable value for money.
