Winner of the UK's Best Independent Restaurant of the Year, 2014. Pat 'Pops' Newland has been serving authentic British fish and chips in London since 1945, and from this he has recreated a restaurant serving one of Britain's best-loved dishes in a friendly setting, surrounded by authentic 1940s/50s memorabilia lovingly curated by Pops himself. Our menu includes sustainably-caught mouth-watering fresh fish cooked in crunchy batter, served with golden chips and classic mushy peas, prepared on the premises by our onsite fishmonger. You can also try the seafood platter, pies, chicken, or traditional east end classics like jellied eels, followed by traditional, indulgent English desserts such as sticky toffee pudding and apple pie. Drinks vary from fruit juices and traditional ginger ale, to carefully-picked wines and locally-sourced beers.

    Het eten was goed, maar de houding van de gastheren gaf mij een opgejaagd gevoel. Alles leek gehaast en gericht op het zo snel mogelijk afhandelen van de gasten. Wat mij daarnaast opviel, was dat ze op een dwingende manier probeerden hun keuzes op te leggen. Toen ik bijvoorbeeld aangaf de kabeljauw te willen proberen in plaats van de schelvis, voelde ik druk om toch iets anders te nemen. Als ik niet standvastig was gebleven, had ik iets gekregen wat ik niet wilde. Door deze onvriendelijke benadering zal ik hier niet snel terugkomen.

    Je ne recommande pas cette chaîne pour un bon fish & chips Privilégier plutôt un pub anglais Déçu et très bruyant

    Had been before and had found food to be great, but not this time, it was just pretty bland, neither the fish nor the chips were well-seasoned and it did not impress at all. Quite costly as well, specially considering all the above. Most likely not coming back....

    Vraiment cher pour la qualité et la quantité. Les frites n’étaient pas très bonnes. Les serveurs étaient top.
