Service friendly in WV chippie AVENUE, WEST VANCOUVER, 926-4555 From page 14 paper eyebath serving of coleslaw that is fobbed off by other chippies as vegetable accompaniment to their fish and chips. To help oil the digestive tract, a Sam Smith’s Oatmeal Stout ($4) was ordered. The deep brown fluid was served at room temperature so as not to chill the senses numb. It really sticks to your gullet, me lads. Main courses tested were Hali- but and Chips ($6.95) and Plaice and Chips ($5.50). Both came with great fried potato chip beams. The fish, rather than chopped into two or three bits, was served in mammoth single slabs, as dictates the proud Yorkshire tradition. Halibut and Plaice were both thick, juicy, sweet and excellent. The Petticoat Lane batter was crisp and golden brown. A side of mushy peas was bright green and included whole peas in a sauce that was superb and not overly thick. AIL food was served on real crockery, not styrofoam, newspa- per, plastic or paper plates, which added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Service in the packed restaurant was friendly, though somewhat tentative. Time spent waiting for orders can be invested in apprecia- tion of Petticoat decor, which is a mixture of British pub modern and timeless Yorkshire classic. Patrons, for example, can learn the various curves and twists of the Yorkshire dialect from wall hangings: ‘‘He’s no oi! in his lamp’’- English translation: A person of question- able intelligence. Open from noon to 7:45 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, from noon lo 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from noon to 7 p.m. on Sundays, with takeouts of course, Petticoat Lane is the best fish and chip res- taurant on the North Shore.
