Meat or Fish? You decide…

A blood thirsty butcher is to go head-to-head against a cold blooded chef in the second round in a series of Meat Vs Fish challenges.
Nick Mellin, co-owner of sustainable food business Roaming Roosters, is to take on Antony Shirley, executive chef for the Seafood Pub Company, in a revenge match at Roaming Roosters in Higham on September 4th.
Antony won round one of the Meat Vs Fish battle at The Oyster and Otter by 26 votes to 24.
Diners who book on to this and following events will enjoy a live demonstration, reception drinks, three-course meal and lots of banter.
In the red corner, Nick ‘the knife’ will be fighting the cause for meat; while bobbing and weaving in blue corner in support of fish, will be ‘Anton Le Poisson’.
Nick said: “There is absolutely no question which is best, we run an online meat shop and have a butcher’s counter for goodness sake; not a fishmongers!
“The Meat Vs Fish roadshow gives us a real opportunity to get on our carnivore soap box and fight the corner for proper meat.
“After a very narrow defeat in round one we are determined to leave the fish team floundering in round two! We’re on home turf this time so there is only going to be one winner!”
Antony responded: “Whilst old McDonald is messing around on his farm, Captain Neve will be landing the finest fish around. Those butcher boys are going to be in deep waters!"
“Like our haddock, the butcher is going get battered!”
The Meat Vs Fish roadshow will roll out to other gastro pubs and restaurants within the Seafood Pub Company in coming months.
