Fish ‘n’ chips are not a food. At least not exactly. Because they’re more. They’re a smell. They’re a mood. They’re a comfort. They’re an identity. London Bridge gets it, and delivers Weekly readers’ favorite by way of fresh rock cod plus a beer batter built around English Ales’ Big Sur Golden and Fat Lip Amber to go with pudgy steak fries, creamy coleslaw and a wharfside setting long on Old World wood and Her Royal Majesty mojo.
