Fab Fish & Burger Grill in Paddington
Pictured: Wanda with Onion Rings
Ahoy maties, gather round, as it’s time once again for a Poppies report. Last week the Poppies Challenge set sail on a grand voyage to inner-city suburb, Paddington – ‘X’ marked the spot on Fab Fish & Burger Grill at the Barracks.
[Pirate/Fisherman theme warning]
Over the break there were no make-up visits to any of the venues which is not indicative of the popularity of burgers within the team but rather, how popular elite players nearby to the office have become – Miss Kay’s, Snag Stand and Miel Container have all become such regular destinations that there barely remains a soul to try the lot of ‘em.

Fabulous or fishy? That was the question, as eleven well-travelled, burger buccaneers set their (one-eyed) sights on Fab Fish & Burger Grill with the hopes of snagging a lovely treasure for their own. The trip was not without controversy as two late arrivers were left behind; but it did set a precedent for the strict departure time – board the vessel by 12pm or walk your own plank to the venue.
The crew was well divided with avast array of orders port and starboard. A few chose the Ab Fab (bacon cheeseburger) as their beauties, others chose the Mary (lamb burger) or the Cluck Cluck (chicken burger) but only one had learned the lesson of the Ribs & Burgers legend. Yes, this sailor, meself, chose a burger from the title of the venue – A fish-burger called Wanda, with a side of Onion Rings. Fab Chips made up the other side orders.
Our captain, No-Beard Poppie Pete delivered the collective sentiments of the crew when he declared that he was “not feeling the Fab”; and the mutiny was supported by all with tallies that dropped like an anchor on the scoreboard – 3rd last in cost (BCI), 4th last in taste (BTI), 3rd last in size (BSI), 2nd last in sides (AQI), and 2nd last overall.
Make no mistake, she was a whimsical excuse for a burger joint. Yarr… she was fishy indeed.
