Ordering Strategy

Focus on the classic fried fillets (cod or haddock) and the unique cheese fritters. The restaurant is BYOB, so bringing a bottle of wine is a smart move to elevate the casual experience.

What to order

Safe first

Haddock and chips

Regarded as 'an altogether better affair' than the starters, with crisp batter and fish that is cooked through nicely without skin.

Hungry

Large cod

The standard-bearer for size, though recent reviews suggest the quality can be inconsistent, with some describing it as 'dry' or 'watery.'

Wildcard

Feta fritters

A polarizing but legendary side; while some call it a 'must order,' others find the thick chunks of cheese 'so strong they were enough to make a grown man wince.'

What to skip

Skip
Scampi, Prawn Cocktail, or Calamari stripsNon-fillet options consistently disappoint; reviews cite 'perilously little' meat in the scampi, a 'bland' prawn cocktail, and 'tough' calamari.

Good to know

One of London's oldest chippies, it operates a popular BYOB policy (often with no corkage, check locally). It can feel like a 'tourist-fest' during peak hours.
