- Researcher Comments
- Commentary: They’re frying tonight - for the Mashers and Dandies of today. Modern youth is sampling fish and chips in the gracious Victorian setting provided by The Contented Sole. That’s London’s latest restaurant-with-a-gimmick - where boatered, bedazzling waitresses serve the golden fry to the music of the Naughty Nineties. It’s a sign of the times, this - for the modern thing to do is recapture the flavour of an age gone by.
