A beloved, no-frills South London institution where locals and critics alike queue for freshly fried fish and legendary chips.
Ordering Strategy
This is a strictly cash-only spot. Expect a wait as fish is fried to order, and check the counter—locals suggest asking for a fresh fry if the display looks empty.
What to order
Cod & Chips
The standard bearer; reviewers praise the fresh, bronzed batter and moist fish.
Haddock & Chips
Highlighted by The Infatuation as a 'present of the most delicious variety' with shimmery batter.
Scampi
A local favorite, famously 'inhaled' by van drivers parked outside.

Good to know
There is no seating; this is a 'serious takeout operation'. Tartar sauce usually costs extra. It was featured on Netflix's 'Somebody Feed Phil' and is a favorite of critic Jay Rayner.
