The Tickled Trout in York

Another place infused in hype with not much to offer. The best part ( apart from the company) was the wine and isolated table. The menu is veiled in a fancy air but is nothing but dull. Partridge - I ve had better fried chicken at KFC! Monkfish ceviche perhaps second after the wine. The venison starter impressed me with the performance of containing a sauce which tastes like... nothing. ( I later found out it was a carrot puree). Mains - an overcooked white fish with a delicious yellow sauce, they said peppercorn, might have been a bit ill. And Mallard with fried and then baked onion. Genius! The cherry on top was us being asked to hurry up and free the table when we wanted to order dessert. I understand the spirit of greedy capitalism wanting to fill tables like in first stop shops, as quickly as possible, but at least that could have been mentioned in the booking and not dropped like a bomb to make the food get even more stuck in our throats. Sad. They just lost 2 potential future customers! We were asked to leave when we did not even stay 2 hours there.

Great food, well cooked with a smile!

Perfect chips. Love them so much. Irish curry is gorgeous. Great staff. Hard working attentive staff. Clean. The only reason I give 4 not 5 is they come in polystyrene boxes which makes the grease pool, batter steam and is horrific for the environment (illegal since Oct 23) and the Julian Sturdy flyer. But overall fish and chips here are a brilliant choice.

This is the best fish and chips in York. Old Den is very enthusiastic and will remember old customers and even give me change. The fish and chips are 9.9 and the cod and chips are 10.2 and are very delicious. If you have a big appetite, you can also consider fried chicken and fries. A portion of 13 can feed two people.

Sausage quality is okay. Didn't taste like quality meat
