I have had this twice now and its delicious. Had it on Tuesday in a chef and brewer in Hemel Hemstead and got 5 large pieces.

I had this meal for the first time last night after never hearing of this before and I must say…. Absolutely beautiful!! I have never eaten fish in my life yet for me the taste was what I think fish would taste like! My chips though were practically non exsistant which would have been fine if the same applied to the meat eaters dishes too but it didn’t!!! Next time I go out for a family meal and this is on the menu I know it is what I’ll be having!!! The Hut in ravenshead Nottingham is where I sampled this lovely yet high in calorie delight! Definitely a treat meal, not an over indulge meal!!! Exquisite!!

I am an American and live in Atlanta, Georgia. I was on vacation in London over New Years and as a vegetarian was very excited to see a vegetarian “fish & chips” made with haloumi cheese. I tried it at 3 pubs and it was always extremely good. You can’t even get anything similar to that here in the USA. The veggie meals are always veggie burgers or pasta. You might think it would be the other way around. I’m trying to locate some haloumi cheese here so I can make it myself.

Have to disagree, had it today and it was amazing and the portions were just right, but then again I am a cheese lover.

One of the meany pub projects of the 00′s which never quite got off the ground was out invention of Quish, the fish version of Quorn. Admitted this because it was flavoured with ['CENSORED!'] which was deemed to be vegetarian by definition.

I was about to say the same thing, although I ate all mine. I thought it worked very well, certainly a million times better than Quorn.

I had a very similar meal at Terre a Terre, of all places. A pinnacle of posh veggie food! The halloumi was tasty there, though, and still squeaked, and was very lightly battered. I wasn’t able to eat it all, but all the other portions were too big too.
