Joinees, eat before you go out!

The food at the Cock has taken a turn for the worse.

No longer can you get a nice cheap fish finger sandwich, or chicken kiev. They won't even let you buy a couple of bowl of chips for the table to share.

I tried their steak and ale pie (small, Tesco's own), with chips (arrived as mash) and vegetables (luke warm carrots and peas). Most disappointing.

They did make up for it (with a free pint, and (top secret) bowl of chips) but I'm not eating there again unless they change the menu.

Instead I'm heading over the road to Carluchios. A nice Italian delicatessens, and restaurant. They stop selling sandwiches after lunch time, but you can pick up a hunk of the most amazing foccacia bread and several slices of fine salami for less than two quid. Bargin!

Seriously, fish finger sandwiches, what's with these?

I often had fish finger sandwiches for lunch, usually made on cheap white bread with real butter, because for some reason even if you don't usually have these things in your house they're suddenly available the moment you make a fish finger sandwich.

But now they're suddenly popping up in all the local "trendy" restaurants (and the pub that desperately wants to be trendy but fails dismally), usually with some hilarious description of what amounts to Cap'n Birds Eye's cheapest fish product lobbed between a couple of slices and drizzled with Mr Heinz's finest.

Still, you can't fault them for trying, the margins must be fantastic given a fish finger sandwich is usually priced the same as all the pretentious stuff they used to serve.

These were the Captin's finest. And priced as such.
They've taken the oppertunity of this menu change to raise the price and lower the quality.
