Very nicely appointed interior. Probably the most well done of the all the Lion & Rose locations. Fireplace and central bar at the entry with wood paneling throughout.
Ordered the fish and . . .macaroni; no charge for the substitution but wish I had gotten chips. Crispy plank of cod served with remoulade sauce and cheesy macaroni. Nothing wrong with that, right. Well, the fish was very good as usual, but the remoulade did not have its usual zip. It had a lackluster taste and a flavor of pimento cheese in the sauce. Not exactly my cup of tea as it tasted nothing like what I remember having at some of the other L&R locations . . . and they have no tartar sauce! Guess I will have to stick to the malt vinegar. The mac had a bacony flavor and lots of stringy cheddar cheese with a Guiness overtone. It really needed salt and again did not taste as good as what I had had previously.
Noted that prices have gone up on the two plank fish and chip plate, but is still reasonable for the $7.99 one plank lunch special. Liked the ambiance and the food overall, the remoulade and mac notwithstanding. Wait help had her game on!
