RabC Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Does anyone have a copy of the menu from The Jolly Friar, they have a very nice looking web site but no full menu or prices posted. Also it says they do delivery but don't give a radius or charge? Thanks in advance RabC Edited to add: I tried e-mailing the address on the web site but it just bounced back.

Jingthing Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Here is a fun question. Which, if any, of the local fish chipperies are using BEER BATTER for their fish crust batter? Does anyone know? I don't recall anyplace I go advertising that they do but that doesn't mean they don't. I kind of suspect Jolly Friar might based on the crust consistency, but I don't know. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=beer-batter-is-better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELCata Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The only time that we ate (EFL students note, irregularist verb) flips & chips was at Goosies last Songkran. Very nice but the GF's imagination couldn't quite stretch from Snapper to Cod (same but not same but better) She's also been brought up on McChips, so didn't like the 'tick ones. Me? I'm eating McCain's extra thick cut, with skins, oven chips. Bordering on fritters & go very well with Iceland's 5 for £3 cod pieces, Aroi mak mak! I'll definitely check out the Jolly Friar's 99B 'nosh box' next month. I think I'll introduce him to the...I've said too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time you were there? I went for the first and only time 2 weeks ago, 5 adults and 2 kids and we all had good meals including fish 'n' chips, cottage pie, English breakfast, chicken nuggets and a couple of Thai dishes.

Darrel Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Doesn't anyone know or like..... S C H N A P P E R? Red Snapper (if that's what you mean) is delicious. Used to buy frozen fillets (from Thailand or Senegal) all the time back in Europe. Very cheap indeed. The frozen ones were small and I always used to just fry them in oil (no flour needed) and serve on green salad but I dare say they would be good in batter also, if larger.

Certainly would agree with you about the general quality of the food there, gone downhill of late and uphill in price, but the homemade sausages there are without any doubt the best I have had here, and at (I think) THB180/kg, a bargain.

JimmyTheMook Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My current favorite is the Jolly Friar. I tried this place an the fish was loaded with grease and chips were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) My current favorite is the Jolly Friar. I tried this place an the fish was loaded with grease and chips were the same. Interesting. That hasn't been my experience. Inconsistency in restaurants in Thailand? What a shock! This brings up an interesting issue though. In my experience, if you go often enough, pretty much every fish and chips place in town is inconsistent. Unless you go 10 times to each, and I don't wish to get much fatter, it's hard to judge how inconsistent. My last few times at the Village have been greasy affairs, so I stopped going, but who knows if I went eight more times, perhaps then no grease. Life can be greasy.

striderman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 for what it's worth the jolly friar in soi lenkee gets my vote. located left hand side between soi buakoaw and 3rd road nicely fitted out in blue and white and modeled on a brighton fish and chip shop i believe i ate there on day 1 of trading back in last july and it was ok but nothing special. but last trip in jan i went twice and thought the fish and chips were excellent inc some of the best chips i have ever had in 23 years of visiting thailand. most people in there were eating some form of fish and chips and the product coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good to me.
