I always find myself getting the Keith Lee approved “float and fly” which comes with three chicken wings, three pieces of catfish and of course they’re delicious 24 karat cornbread . And don’t forget to add the macaroni and cheese ❤️

I’ve personally never been to England but I assume that this place captures its charm. The fish and chips are a great choice and pair it with any of their pints so a delicious meal
