The Moon and Stars, Penge

One evening during the last winter I decided to try this establishment.
I tried the curry and the ice cold winter guiness. The curry was ok, edible. the papdoms that come with it were soft and the naan was a bit chewy but overall it filled a hole. The table next to me was in a beer kerfuffle, two pints more likely. 'I CAN GET YOU RAPED' one hard bald boy was roaring at his fellow table dweller, a feller of simillar rotundity and shineheadedness. Mates falling out I thought, aaahhhhh bless em, and got back to my flexible papadoms...
Next time I came here and skipped the curry in favour of YE HAME EGGE AND 'CHIPS' for the paltry but not to be scoffed at sum of �2.99.
Anyway, I thought chips were supposed to have some potato inside 'em.
Stone me guvnor cos these ones had nowt but fresh air!!! Cooked! they were positively incinerated. You, Mister Wetherspoon say potato, I say shite.
Next time , drawn back by the charming barmaids and the nice beer. i had a hole in my stomach that needed filling and plumped for the HAME, EGGE and 'CHIPS' again thinkin lightening dont strike twice does it guvna.
The chips this time came out lovely, proper frozen chips with some potato inside em!! Cooooor! But hey, what the .... my 8 year old can fry eggs better than that! what the...were they having a laugh? these eggs had flippin CARPET underneath em. crinkly penge CARPET. the manager takes em back after giving it a bit of mouth within earshot (rude that) and comes back 2 minutes later with the new improved fried eggs that also had carpet underneath em (what is this place, a carpet shop?) and were probably the same ones.
you mister wetherspoon say fried eggs, I say goodbye
