Crazy, but....

[PotNoodle]

Whenever folk are in the Epcot Centre or plan on going, Whilst in the World Showcase, would they consider going in the pub for lunch or even buying fish and chips at Harry Ramsden's?

Crazy, I know, but - I sense British patriotism would see many holiday makers from the UK opt for these ahead of other restaurants in the showcase.

I think I may pass on the fish and chips, but the pub inside will be worth checking out and lunch outside overlooking the lake a possibility.

I've always encountered huge queues at harry ramsdens, and not all brits either! If you haven't made any adrs then its a great take out venue and being that the UK is kind of near the end to touring round the WS its usually a convenient stop for food. The pub is good too but I haven't actually had a sit down meal in it, its all staffed by Brits and they serve guinness and other lagers. The only thing thats missing is the surly underage alco-pop swilling foul mouthed youths you usually encounter in British pubs!

we have had fish n chips from Harry Ramsdens a couple of times and sat with them watching IllumiNations

No, I don't like pubs over here in the UK (accept for the REALLY laid back country pubs that serve fantastic food...), so wouldn't go to one in Epcot - too many other interesting/nicer places to eat.

We did that too, as had no ADR, with a nice cold Stella whilst sitting in the 'beer garden' great for watching Illuminations

we usually do both on a trip! We love going to the Rose and Crown but thats mainly because the fireworks are awesome from there.

Lots of brits go to these places, just to see how wrong the americans get it if nothing else!

DH loves "fat chips" like you get from the chippie and on our first trip in 03 he got fed up with the skinny fries and headed over to Harry Ramsdens at Epcot - all I can say if it was very pricey and the americans just don't make english chips like we do! He stuck to the skinny fries after that

We had chips from there last year, it was nice to sit ouside by the lagoon.

It's a great spot to sit outside, have a beer and watch the world go by.

I don't go there out of any patriotism though, it's just a nice location.

I wouldn't mind eating there some time to try it, as said above mainly out of interest to see how wrong their take on British food is. Some things on the menu don't look to British at all!

When i'm in another country you couldn't normally drag me to a place doing British food. Not because there's anything wrong with it, just because I want to eat things that I can't get at home. If I wanted fish and chips I can jump in my car and get it in 5 minutes, why fly for 8 hours for it

I wouldn't think twice about eating fish n chips in Florida, although I must admit I have never tried Harry Ramsden's.

If it is popular with the American's and all visitor's then great.

It is a British tradition after all, it's a bit of a law up here in the North 'chippy on a friday'.

I wonder what would happen if they opened a good old British curry house at the Rose & Crown?

 

[signtalker]

Ive never eaten at harry ramsdens but then im not a lover of fish and chips!. I do however eat once at the rose and crown, not for anything patriotic but because its a good view of illuminations!!, I also find, that even though it s a british pub, the food, isnt exactly the same as we get overhere, the bangers and mash are to die for, and ive never had better!!!!

Boo

They were last August if that's any help? Bit out of date I'm sorry!

I have eaten in the Rose & Crown (for a UK Dis Meet as it happens!) and we really enjoyed the food. Oh and the cocktails

I've never done the Harry Ramsden thing but that's more due to the fact that we usually travel in the very hot months and the thought of hot food outside in August doesn't appeal


If I was there when it was cooler I definitely would though

Last time we were in the Tea Shoppe they were charging $5 for a 6 pack of Penguins which were in a wrapper saying 'Special Offer pack 67p'

We have eaten in the pub and found the meal overrated,we preferd the fish an chips from outside better.But saying that it seams to have gone a bit downhill greasey chips.Now that raglan road is open(they have a fisn n chip takaway) at downtown disney harry ramsdons now has compoticon for the fish n chips market.Have heard exalent reviews and you dont have to go into a park for them.
