Lad & Dad

One of the best fish and chips I had! Fish was crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. We got the curry, tartar, and salted egg sauce (CNY Special) and they were all amazing. There were several condiments on the table which includes the quintessential malt vinegar, a must have for British fish and chips. Scottish Egg was done well with the evidently runny eggs. Overall, a a delightful meal and worth giving it a try if you’re in the area or craving some good British fish and chips. Would be back to try the other mains!

The fish & chips (10/10) and coleslaw (9.5/10) take top spot. The pork bangers (8.5/10) tastes great however it is salty plus the salty gravy made it even more salty. Scorched eggs 7/10 or 8/10. Depending if you are scorched egg fan. Mash potatoes (8.5/10) good. Thick cut fries 8.5/10. Mushy peas 8/10. Service was pretty good. The order taker catered to all my first timer queries. She was very good. 2026 January

We have a classic British dining experience in this charming gastropub setup at the void deck of an HDB block. The highlight of our dinner was the perfectly flaky Atlantic haddock, deep fried in a light, golden beer batter and paired with thick-cut, crispy chips. We also enjoyed the Scotch egg—featuring a boiled egg wrapped in flavorful sausage meat and coated with a crunchy breadcrumb crust—well balanced by a tangy purple slaw that cuts through the richness. A freshly poured Guinness stout from the tap proved refreshing and complemented the meal wonderfully. The warm, approachable service from the staff rounded off the experience perfectly.

Fish and chips was a childhood favourite of mine, and was my comfort food when I studied in the UK. Lad and Dad does it at the absolute highest level with the super light and crisp batter, and thicc cut fries and the classic mushy peas and tartar sauce combo. The scotch egg was simply complementary to the fried items, with the refreshing slaw and runny egg resting on a bed of sausage. C’mon. Best fish and chips in my world.

Not the traditional English fish and chips but still very good. Fish was fresh. Batter was excellent. Mushy peas were pretty tasty but the portion was very small - no bigger than the tartare sauce. The oyster nuggets were good - so light and crispy. Pigs in Blankets (bacon wrapped sausages) was meh. Friendly service. Limited seating and they don’t take reservations.

Been wanting to visit this place for quite some time. Walked past a couple of times wanting to try but always didn't have the chance to. Finally made a decision to come try as been seeing some social media comparison about this place and a KL restaurant. I have tried the one in KL so now I came to try here to judge for myself which is better of the two. Visited on a weekend lunchtime and it was rather packed because the place was not big and has limited seats. They are benches and probably you need to share tables with someone. Ordered the chips and also the scotch egg. The service here was rather pleasant as well. Didn't take long for the food to be served. Was quite impressed by the look of the fish because of the size and how crispy it looked. Couldn't resist and had to cut it and could see the batter was rather brittle, but the fish was definitely of a good thickness inside the batter. Tried it with both the tartar and the curry sauce, would say the curry sauce tasted better cause its more uncommon. I have to say I was quite amazed by how good the mushy peas was, I think this would be able to convert all the pea haters to lovers. Everything about the fish and chips was good, every element and all the flavours. Fries was also good but I decided to reduce my carbs so I only had a portion of it. The scotch egg was also so good it almost stole the limelight of the chips. Seriously another dish I could probably say one of the best I have eaten so far. Nothing to fault, and such a great combination with the purple slaw I just emptied the plate clean. A great place to dine and especially if you are in search of good fish and chips. And I can also say this one is better than the KL one! A little misleading though, the shop is located next to block 8 lift lobby but the address is block 7.

The fish & chips come with a light, crispy batter that crumbled easily with just a fork. Surprisingly, the coleslaw stole the show with its refreshing crunch and flavour. I sat indoors but regretted it a little as there were some frying fumes coming from the kitchen. Still, a decent hearty meal!
