After seeing Zermatt video of eating lad & co. Decided to give it a try. Ordered the large fish & chip and scotch egg. The fish is delicious as it did not use dory but haddock. Scotch egg is also runny and the skin is crispy.
Will not mind coming again
Before you is the large portion of the classic fish & chips at Lad & Co, a hidden gem opposite Tanglin Mall that has sheltered outdoor seating with a cozy, laid back vibe. The regular portion costs $19, which I believe both portions are well worth the price for the quality of fish & chips delivered. The haddock was fresh, with tenderness in every bite yet not disintegrating into measly pieces before your eyes. The beer batter was a crisp, thin, layer, which made every mouthful so delightful! You get a choice of classic thick cut fries or thin fries with your fish, and I went for the unorthodox thin fries that came well-seasoned. They go British all the way by having mushy peas on the side. I guess the only downside was the tartar sauce, which leaned towards an ordinary mayonnaise more than anything. Would have loved more relish in all the creaminess. That being said, I now have a new favorite go-to for fish & chips!

Always wanted to visit and the recent opening of the Orchard Boulevard MRT made visiting the Tanglin area so much more convenient.
Had the Fish & Chips (Large, $29) and Bangers & Mash (Small, $16) which were just sufficient for 3 hungry bellies. The beer-battered haddock were huge and amazingly crispy. Personally, not my favourite type of fish in fish&chips but overall I still enjoyed it. Special mention to the accompanying chips and mushy peas which were OH SO GOOD. Don't think I tasted this level of mushy peas outside of UK before. For the bangers&mash, sausages was meaty and chunky but the sauce was the star of the show - it tied the dish together nicely.
Outdoor seating but the multitude of fans and greenery made the sheltered alfresco area so cooling and comfortable. Great vibes to just chill and drink the day away with their all-day $9.90 drinks - Peroni beer, Hendricks G&T, and Monkey Shoulder Highball. Only GST and no SVC, no frills bar grub. A complimentary glass of Raspberry Slush (I think?) was also given to my table in lieu of Christmas season so that was great.
Only negative was that when I asked for 3 sharing plates/containers (for my party of three), the staff pointedly questioned how many diners there were on my table. Understand the intention but still, slightly rude.
beer battered haddock, coated thick cut chips, mushy peas, gherkin tartar sauce, lemon wedge
Haddock fish and chips with thick cut fries. Loved the fries. Think their fish is above average but not awesome, cause the thick batter while crunchy was slightly oily when I bit into it, and I prefer cod to haddock.
