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.

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.

Nous avons été très bien accueilli. L’ambiance est chouette et surtout le fish and chips est un pur délice. Nous y retournerons lors de notre prochain voyage à Londres. Parfait.
