Here you can have the famous traditional fish and chips. Go for Cod if you want it more oily and less fishy & Haddock if you want it less oily and more fishy.

it doesn't matter how much you are already full with fish&chips, you should try truffle puding. but if you don't want to be awake till morning, it is strongly recommended to share with a friend:)

I had the haddock and chips. The portion was very large (even for the regular size) and I had to pack half of it to take home with me. It is the equivalent of two meals, so price is good.

so good. Just go there. The fish is light and crispy and just right, the chips are great. Cute decor, 10/10

Definitely one of the best places to get Fish and Chips in the area. Great cod and and delicious chips. A bit pricey and it does get busy but that's a sign of the quality.

Choose cod or haddock. I preferred the haddock: crisp and lighter batter. Good place for traditional fish and chips. Waited 15 min for a table, quite reasonable.
Alexandra TritzOctober 28, 2016
The fish is fresh and cooked to perfection, it was really delicious. You have to try the caramel toffee pudding, it's out of this world !
Ivar ZhukovskyMay 30, 2014
Awesome atmosphere, delicious food and great service (being a bit drunk, dropped a half of the fish on the floor and got a whole new one for free!). This is definitely a must visit in London!

It's the best fish and chips I have ever had in my life😍😋 also they have magnificent "Cartmel sticky toffee pudding" dessert, I love it ❤️😋
Susanna SooAugust 16, 2015
Best fish & chips I have ever had! I usually don't fancy chips all that much but this one was so tasty I couldn't stop! Ask for the tartare sauces for take out.

This is the latest venture from 68-year-old fish fryer Pat "Pop" Newland but his sustainability policy is right up to date - Peterhead cod, plaice, rock, mackerel. Handmade mushy peas. Read more

We waited for 30-40minutes but it was totally worth it. Best fish & chips I’ve ever had. Mushy peas were good too! Service was great!
Kim PhamNovember 2, 2016
Some of the loveliest fish & chips in London. Get the haddock with some chips and lots of malt vinegar!
Ian Zachary-WhittinghamFebruary 5, 2015
They spoil me so in here, NIce / Staff, Notice longer serving staff mcuh larger - nice food, look after locals well , Tip, Ask for uour chips to be wrapped, get double the amount x
Ruth WatsonMarch 27, 2015
Quite pricey when you are used to a good cheap Northern chippy tea but very nice to chomp on some chips and curry sauce whilst walking home late from work!
VivJanuary 25, 2013
Good fish and chips - still not as good as Aussie fish and chips though (sorry!). Though the claims that its offishially (sp? ;) ) the best in London may be true?? - see for yourself!
Muath KawtherJune 30, 2018
Best fish and chips in London by far 😍👌🏻 crunchy and tasty, enjoyed every bite of it.
Christian ClevaOctober 13, 2013
An excellent choice for fish and chips, near Truman Brewery... The fish was awesome and tasted really fresh, and the waitress in the 50's uniforms were very friendly
IrinaApril 9, 2014
Very good fish'n'chips! Do take away - this food is supposed to be eaten outside :) (if you insist on sitting, there is a space with free tables just behind the corner)
Iris NgAugust 21, 2014
Huge portions. Fish is fresh and chips have full potato flavor. Great for sit down or a quick take away.

Been here 5+ times
this is a great little spot - definitely worth a visit. a basic fish chips and mushy peas is more than enough. the large had me limping home...

These guys have reached the semi finals of the best fish and chip restaurant in UK! The only London restaurant to be included too.
Malu GorgaOctober 21, 2014
Amazing fish and chips! Very crispy and tender. The pickled onion is nice addition to the meal.
Oksana IshchukJanuary 14, 2017
Overcrowded during the day but work till late night so do not hesitate to drop in cause it definitely worth trying.
Rachel LightfootFebruary 9, 2013
Fish and chips seems a bit over commercialized in London... but this place is legit. Order the cod as take-away and avoid a long line. You can still done outside
Kristyn UlandayJune 13, 2015
Cozy fish and chips joint with an old fashioned feel. Don't even think about getting anything else - the signature dish is amazing.
Jef WegNovember 1, 2014
The peas are perfectly mushy and the fish and fantastically fishy. Had a great lunch here. Worth the wait if there's a line
Vivian WangOctober 26, 2015
Very tasty! The small was already pretty large :) save room for dessert!
Damien SrnMarch 15, 2014
Best fish & chips in east London ! Try the haddock, with a good pale ale. Don't forget to take chupa chups before get out.
Foxxy BJuly 17, 2017
Incredibly flaky & moist cod, but otherwise everything just felt a touch bland. Not much imagination here, just good quality ingredients for you to season / complement as you see fit.
Chris BrunoApril 18, 2017
I'm not even a seafood person but this was pretty good. Fish and chips included in a tour of Whitechapel on a Jack The Ripper tour.
Lucho Osorio-CortesAugust 9, 2014
A place where good F&S meet tradition and good service. Good value for money and a great place for lunch with tourists.

Fave fish and chipper in the world though recently free plastic cutlery replaced with just a fork and today the chip portions were decidedly mean... Hoping those highest of standards aren't slipping.
Emīls OzolsFebruary 29, 2020
Traditional Cod and chips really hit the spot. Tuffee desert was also exquisite. The atmosphere and service is top notch
Sia LeApril 16, 2015
DO NOT have jellied eels! But then again, that goes for anywhere :) Cosy kitsch decor, the only downside is it is often a little stuffy.
Yugo ThamAugust 21, 2014
Not specifically crave for fish & chips but this is the best so far I've tasted. Go for Cod & chips, it's a bomb!
ClaudioSeptember 27, 2014
good stuff! large IS large! sufficient for two. don't forget to put vinegar over your fish'n'chips.
Ariel HermanSeptember 8, 2018
Good mushy peas. Fish is moist, chips good. Has a 50's theme. Lots of American tourists here, understandably.
Anna BFebruary 20, 2015
The food is really good but, at least for me, the individual is still too big. Oh, and the music is awesome, from Buddy Holly to Bobby Darin.
Lewis S.March 12, 2016
Try the jellied eels. Not on the menu, but available and a London tradition to tell your friends about.
New York HabitatMarch 22, 2012
Get some delicious fish & chips in this 1950’s themed restaurant with a diner feel to it. Don’t forget the vinegar!

Try Mackerel if you prefer meditterranean style fish rather than fried british... It's on the grill and very tasty...
KateJune 26, 2016
Fish is great! Too much of chips! But definitely worth it!!
Natalie AtOctober 26, 2015
Delicious food, chips are fluffy on the inside. Great staff and vibe. Quick service.
James ChorleyAugust 13, 2013
Excellent food, good atmosphere and friendly staff, but Scampi is £8.90 for takeaway without chips, horrendously expensive!
muddytweedJune 14, 2019
Great atmosphere and delicious fish and chips. I recommend the apple pie as dessert.
Martin JonassonJune 19, 2016
Great fish n' chips and great 50's American diner feel to it.
Henrique AlvesJune 28, 2015
I'm not a big fan of fish and chips but if you wanna try the best one, this is the place!
JacquesMay 13, 2015
Great selection of fish for choice. Loved the food!! Great decor as well
Aline ChirinianApril 24, 2014
