I have nothing to add to this review of Harry Ramsdens fish and chip restaurant by [livejournal.com profile] libellum, so I present it as she wrote it:

"... we wandered through Soho looking for somewhere that would sell us edible burgers. We ended up in Harry Ramsdens, wasting time and money on a meal which was barely edible and took far too long to arrive. We were the only customers in there, but our order took over 45 mins to arrive; the waitress was uncommunicative and unhelpful; Denny's gammon steak was dry and poor quality and it wasn't until after it arrived that we discovered they didn't have any pineapple. My battered swordfish steak was quite good, but the waiting time and crappy service made it not much fun. We made a fuss and got a complimentary starter, but in retrospect going home to eat would have been quicker, easier, cheaper and better quality. [livejournal.com profile] strongtrousers informs me that this is pretty normal for Harry Ramsdens, so it's probably not just the one near Piccadilly Circus: I'd recommend giving it a miss."

It's odd. The original Harry Ramsden's at White Cross, near Guiseley, West Yorkshire, was a classic. However every other one appears to be shite.

I went to the HR in Edinburgh in 2002 and it was pish. Pish enough to be closed now. Likewise, myself and my friend were the only people there and it took three years for them to bring food which was not disimilar from above.

Another HR story is being told not to loiter in the car park of the one in Glasgow when I was about 14 by an over-zealous security guard.

Oh, and there's also sitting with my asperger's suffering brother at Millenium Christmas seven years ago and him telling me how it's difficult to stay friends with someone you've had sex with.

Chandeliers were nice though.

You're a Londoner, now, dammit! What were you thinking of? You'd have been better off at an Aberdeen Steak House.

Next time you're in the area you should check out the New Piccadilly Café whilst it's still open... http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Restaurant/New_Piccadilly_Caf_Restaurant/9fd4/
