I'm not from the old world, but coming from Boston, I at least know what a basic fish and chips should be - juicy cod with a crisp crust. Instead my crust which was at least twice as thick as the cod slightly under cooked was mushy inside.... I think we could be a bit more critical!!

The food is terrible and overpriced, the service is sullen and/or clueless and just to top it all off, the place permanently smells of urine. Seriously, it's not at all like any pub back home - it's more like what a British ex-pat who hasn't been back in 20 years vaguely remembers what a pub, and pub food, might be like. Avoid. For fish and chips when I'm in LA, I go to H.Salt, although I haven't tried the British pubs in Pasadena yet. Ye Olde King’s Head is appalling!

Arguably the best fish & chips on the westside. Shepherd's pie also an excellent choice. Always liked this place. Arguably the best fish & chips on the westside.
