Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted January 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. QM2 Golden Lion. I can’t wait to have them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted January 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2022 No charge and we love it. On the December crossing on the QM2 there was live music by a cool band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2022 In November '21, there was no entertainment in the Golden Lion whatsoever, on board QE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasickphil Posted January 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 3, 2022 On QE Dec 1st there was a very good Irish folk duo called Cula playing most lunchtimes and evenings. The menu was slightly different, no sausage and mash and no cottage pie but there was a cheese burger with crispy brisket instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted January 3, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Can recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala on QE and although the Fish & Chips are very nice certainly wouldnt say they were the best I have ever had and unless you dont like curry that would always be my first choice followed by Ploughman's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyonions Posted January 3, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Major Tom, just noticed the poster who thought his fish and chips were the best ever, address is shown as California. Maybe he needs to try some genuine UK fish and chips!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a proud Lancastrian lass I recommend Yorkshire Fisheries 😀. I'm looking forward to working my way through the Golden Lion menu later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 3, 2022 #14 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Most "chippies" in England serve cod and chips, whereas in Scotland it's always haddock and chips. Haddock is so much nicer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he needs to try some genuine UK fish and chips!! Hilarious. A trip to the Uk is definitely on my short list and definitely will be looking to try the fish and chips at multiple top rated venues. I am in California now however I am a native New Yorker. So while I have not had the best fish and chips (obviously) I have had the best pizza and bagels. ‘But seriously, did you see how pillowy and crispy those chips and fish are in the photo? When you bit into the chip it was so crisp on the outside and so creamy on the inside. That coating on the fish crackled when you cut into it. There was no excess oil and you could tell it was cooked in supremely fresh oil. I suppose they’d get a small protest on board a TA if they tried to serve yucky fish and chips. To me that lunch was incredible. I can’t wait for the rules for international travel to stabilize more. If Scotland and Blackpool have even better fish and chips I really must get there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairgarth Posted January 3, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Another bit of Golden Lion intelligence: you have two choices on timing in my experience. Get there by 11:45 or wait until 1:15. If you think you would like a spot of lunch at 12:30, you haven't a hope. And if you can't get North Sea haddock, our local halibut on the wet coast is not to be sneezed at. OK, OK, give me the haddock! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Se1lad Posted January 6, 2022 #21 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but pre Covid the Golden Lion was normally open for lunch on embarkation day. Most people don’t realise and head straight for the Lido, meaning the pub is reasonably quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted January 6, 2022 #23 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Lunch was available in the Golden Lion on QE in November because we went twice and I can thoroughly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
