The Friar Tuck

My 90 year old mother and oldest brother are from the UK so we are always in the eternal Hunt for the next best fish-n-chips and Friar Tuck did not disappoint! The service was great, the food was hot and not over cooked. We had two full portions and one half portion of the fish and one stew. The onion rings were great! The only disappointment was the “spotted dick” pudding as it was clearly out of a can and not enjoyable. We also bought bacon, pies, and sausage to go and they have been fantastic!

We had gone to eat food at the Indian restaurant Saffron. The food was very good. And the staff there was also very good. And the butter chicken there was very good and garlic naan very good. And the staff was also very good. I want more people to go there and eat and we have not eaten such food in any other Indian restaurant till date.

Last night we went to get some dinner and listen to the songwriters’ open mic at the Friar Tuck. Let me tell you—the food was fantastic (and I am a picky foodie)! My husband’s steak pie was incredible with tender meat, savory gravy, and flaky pastry. My fish and chips were also delicious, the fish very fresh and crispy, in a tempura batter. The wings in their house Sherwood sauce (green Tabasco/butter) were so crispy and yummy, with just a bit of heat. Lots of beers on tap and even Blake’s hard cider! The open mic was unexpectedly good too. It’s 30 minutes from us here in Winter Garden but we’re 💯 coming back!

It took a few minutes to be seated, but it was slow, so I understood why. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a beautiful bar as the focus at the center of the restaurant. The food came out perfectly timed, not too fast, not slow, and the food was piping hot. My mom and our friend got the fish sandwich, which they said was flaky and perfectly cooked. I had the batter fried sausages and chips, which is presented as a "starter". It's a lot of food for a starter! And so good! British chips should be flexible, soft, with crisp edges, and these chips were on point! The small grocery to the left of the entrance is perfectly stocked for all your Brit-curious needs, including sticky toffee puddings, Cadbury chocolates, beans, and everything else in between.

The staff was absolutely amazing as they worked very hard to provide the best service even on a busy night. It was very clear that the staff cared about their customers. We especially appreciated the service provided by Jenny as she was very friendly, made sure we were taken care of in a timely manner, and overall made the experience a fantastic one. The food was reasonably priced and was cooked fantastically. We ordered the BBQ burger, the Mushroom Swiss burger, onion rings, chips, and the profiteroles, and every item was well worth the price. The burgers were cooked all the way through, the onion rings and fries were well seasoned and looked beautiful, and the profiteroles made for a fantastic end to the meal.
