This is what a typical Fish and Chips should be. Fresh, home made, good quality and great price. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone.

I’d read a lot of good reviews of this place so I suggested it for a post work meal venue. It’s about 840-9 pm so not desperately late...but we got rather tepid, leathery chips and my battered sausage had been cooked so long before it was like a truncheon. I think we were just unlucky - the chips were evidently the end of a previous batch and the fresh ones were doubtless not far away. The location is excellent and the decor is not too bad if you want to sit in. Also not too pricey. For a central london chippy I would have assumed a bit more...

Esta es una de las cadenas de tiendas de pescado y papas fritas más antiguas de Londres, que comenzó su vida hace más de 100 años. Aquí es donde se obtiene el pescado frito y rebozado con papas fritas y vinagre de malta y salsa de tomate, de la misma manera que se hacía hace 50 años. Es un clásico tradicional y atemporal en un mundo cambiante.

Hoewel James (chef) zelf geen Londenaar is van origine, heeft hij de Engelse keuken onder de knie. Een ruim aanbod aan fish & chips, breaded chicken en English pastries voor een milde prijs en in een gezellige zaak. Zeker als je alleen langskomt, merk je al gauw dat James voor zijn klanten zorgt. Hij is oprecht geïnteresseerd in feedback en wil dat je je op je gemak voelt. Aanrader voor wie geïnteresseerd is in de gefrituurde Engelse keuken of in pastries!

Miles de personas pasan cada día por esta pequeña joya de pescado y papas fritas, como lo hice yo durante muchos años, hasta hace poco, cuando la Sra. y yo tenía un poco de resaca y necesitaba algunas fichas para aclarar nuestras cabezas. Me sorprendió descubrir que este lugar tiene algunas de las mejores patatas fritas que hemos comido. Luego regresamos la noche anterior para una cena romántica de pescado y papas fritas y pollo y papas fritas en la mesa en el pavimento. Solo tengo que decir que fue genial, el servicio atento, la comida simple pero excelente y sentarse en una mesa en el pavimento es algo a lo que no estamos acostumbrados, ¡pero fue muy divertido!

Old-style , unpretentious chipper, off the tourist beat and frequented by locals. You can get an enormous haddock and chips, fried fresh for you, for GBP 9.90, and savour it your own bottle of wine, no corkage charged. Bliss couldn't be more ful.

I have been going to Alen’s Fish and Chips for over a year now, always friendly service and delicious fish and chips every time. The fish and chips taste delicious and are always freshly cooked, the price of the fish and chips are great value and they give big portions. I have tried most of the other fish and chip shops in the city of London and in my opinion this is the best fish and chips shop by a mile, it is also one of the best I have been to in the UK! I am a fish and chips connoisseur and I recommend this for all your fish and chips needs! Forget the rest, go to Alen’s Fish and Chips .. .it’s the best!

I've visited Alen's recently, although I have several fish and chip restaurants in my area adjacent to Alen's I thought I would give them a try. Unfortunately it was a big mistake, the chips were okay however the fish was terrible crusty batter, probably sitting there all day long, and the fish was the worst I've eaten, as well as this the mushy peas were watered down. I will never ever visit it again.

Cuando esté en la zona, hacer un punto para ir allí a comer. La familia que están a cargo de este restaurante son muy eficiente y amable. La Harina de pescado y de chip es una buena oferta y más hasta el punto está muy bien preparado. Patatas fritas crujientes pero no duro y el bateador del bacalao también es fresco, no pasada o grasienta. Guisantes blandos son imprescindibles y salsa tártara es ofrecido sin costo extra, a diferencia de otras tiendas de pescado frito con patatas fritas. El té en una gran jarra. El único "inconveniente" es que están cerrados los domingos. Si quieres una buena relación calidad-precio con una gran experiencia de comer en la calle Theobalds, ve allí.

Alen es actualmente uno de los mejores en el centro de Londres - y reconozco que he probado la mayoría de ellos, aunque no perfecta como todos los chippies cada vez.

Time flies, people change, 'things' change. I can't believe it's been three years since I last had the pleasure of eating at Alen's. The good thing, the very good thing is: nothing has changed. There's still a warm, relaxed atmosphere, still decent portions of perfectly cooked fish, chips and sundries. Most of all there's still friendly and happy service which makes this one a keeper. I hope its not another three years before I get back again...

The three of us came he one a wet and windy thursday night to escape from the loudness of the local pubs. The place doesn't look much from the outside, the inside is classic 1970's but is clean and welcoming - even has a TV if that's your bag. I had the standard cod chips and mushy peas. My mate Richard has the plaice. All of the fish was cooked too order, the portion of plaice so big it had a plate on its own.Surprisingly for a classic chippie you can get beer and wine. I had a halfway decent Merlot. Mushy peas, my area of expertise, had the correct mushiness do not enough (or no) sugar - mushy peas need sugar!..The service was very friendly - will come back again.

I would have preferred 'good' to a choice of 'average' and 'very good'...if you are lucky to get the fish recently cooked, it is very good as the oil is clean and the ingredients fine. Sometimes, takeaway sadly means it has sat too long...better to eat there.

I made my family walk across town for this fish and chips. Not only was I embarrassed because we took a $10 cab fare to get there but it cost me $48 USD for 3 plates of fish and chips and one beer.I think they make the fish in advance and throw it in the fryer again to heat it up. I didn't see them do that, but, I did see some fish under a heat lamp when we walked in. The coating was decent, as was the homemade tartar sauce. My fries looked like they had been sitting out for an hour cold,mushy, and greasy. My son ate my fish and I left all my fries on the plate. The service was good, staff was friendly, but I just thought that this was a hole in the wall with great food, it turned out to be just a hole in the wall.

Fish and chips is the thing to get here but they have some other options too. We really enjoyed our lunch here. It was a quiet Saturday afternoon and we'd just arrived in London. We had great service when we were there. It took no time at all to get our food. We were shocked by how massive the fish was! The fish was flaky and thick, not over fried or dry at all. Come hungry. But there's no way you'll finish everything. It's a ton of food. If you're not super hungry, you might actually be better off sharing a plate. Not much in terms of ambiance but come for a quick and cheap bite.

We were working for 4 months in London and I wanted to have a traditional take away before we left. The office ordered this for lunch, and it was tasty, but the mushy peas were disappointing. The people I work with were satisfied saying the only way to really improve on it is to have fish and chips at the seaside, like Dover or on the ferry. I would have liked the chips crispier and more vinegar, but if we had eaten in then I guess I could have tailored it further.

Alen’s is a local and family run fish & chip shop loved by Londoners and Tourists alike. Excellent fried fish & chips, mushy peas and customary accoutrements served in the heart of Holborn, it is the envy of the competition. Located at 43 Theobald’s Road on the Nos. 19, 38 and 55 London Bus Route ‘Red Lion Square’ stop, it’s a short 10 min hop from or to the West End. One of the best, a culinary bargain and I must confess a regular favourite of mine. Five stars !!!

This beats Whitby hands down. Being from up Nurth like. I was always a firm believer you couldn't ever beat Whitby Cod and Chips. But I'm pleased to say that I've found a dead cert winner. It is tucked away on High Hilborn. Blink and you'd miss it. Fortunately it is close to were I work. It is a traditional fish and chip shop. It has a bargain meal during the day and full price there after. You can sit in or take away. Which ever you fancy. The place was empty when we went. But don't let that put you off. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We had Cod and chips with mushy peas. Cod was lovely. Just the right batter and beautiful white cod. Chips were done to perfection and as a Northerner. Mushy peas just right. Portions are on the generous side and certainly fill you up. Homemade tartar sauce is lovely. Well worth the £9.95 for a fish and chip meal. Will definitely be visiting again.

My family was vacationing in London and staying near Holborn Tube station. On our last night we wanted a traditional fish & chips meal and we learned about two well-known ones very close by -- Alen's and Fryer's Delight. There were five of us total, so we went to each place, got take out, brought it back to our flat and compared.We thought both were very good. Alen's had large portions and the fish (we had cod) was fresh and crispy. The chips were a little soft to my liking, but not bad. Each piece of fish is around £5 and a large order of chips is £2 (and that is huge).The people behind the counter here at Alen's were a little friendlier and the interior was a bit nicer here, for people eating in. I would definitely recommend Alen's.

I have lived in the area for years and have seen fish and chips shops come and go. But Alen's are 'proper' chip shop fish and chips. Lovely chips and the portions are generous! I have eaten in the restaurant and the fish and chips with mushy peas was delicious, but usually I get a take away. The service is always great, probably due to it being a family run establishment. they are so friendly, but most importantly the chips are delicious and fairly priced.

We enjoyed fish & chips in various restaurants traveling through Cornwall and in the last couple weeks wandering through London (often in pubs for meals...), so when a local suggested we check Alen's F&S, I set off in earnest to try what was described as a place "where they do a proper job of fish n' chips" and I was not disappointed. Easy to find and only a short walk from Soho, we arrived in early afternoon and sat at one of dozen or so tables in the bright & open sky lighted restaurant (there was one table on the sidewalk too, but a little chilly for us that day). The fish batter was lovely - crisp and tasty, over fresh cod, the chips were thick-cut and the tartar sauce fresh made (they have gravy too in case you're tempted). Very nice indeed. The restaurant is nothing special (we came for the fish & chips!) but it is centrally located, clean with terrific/friendly service and the fish indeed are delicious!

Having moved to London from Liverpool recently, I was missing a real chippy tea and have found one at Alen's. It's well priced compared to the London average and the food is pretty good. I was slightly dubious after reading the somewhat over the top reviews on this place, but I was pleasantly surprised. The only downside was that the curry sauce was slightly watery for my tastes, but this could just be a personal thing.If you are northern or just like a good chippy meal, I would suggest trying this place.

In our four days we did visit other places for the Fish & Chips but they did not compared to the ones in Alen's. Alen's Fish & chips was so good that we end it up going in our last night in London. On our second visit we did order the fish but also some other meat pies and they also were great. And the prices were the best too. I'm craving some Alen's Fish & Chips right now.

I think this is my first ever review, but of late I have felt compelled to support the small local business when deserved. I came across Alen's after having a bad meal at another of what was my regular for my weekly Fish n Chips (on the same road). The staff are so friendly, the service is fast, and the Fish n Chips are just the best I've ever had - Rick Stein take note!!!! The key word here is 'Fresh'.

Not great. I had water on my plate so it was a soggy experience for my chips. An ok chippy but there are certainly better around.

Bien caché mais tellement bon. Le poisson est délicieux et frais, les frites sont parfaites. Le service est fort sympathique. Un de nos meilleurs repas (sur le pouce) à Londres en week-end. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Went for a meal on Saturday to Alen's Fish and Chips.Four of us excellent meal for under £30. Family run and the fish was amazingly fresh. I loved it. Has anyone else been there? Would love to know if it was a one off or are they really that good.

Top quality Fish and Chips. Best in London! I have also visited the Fryers Delight and believe that Allen's offers better service (always polite and cheerful), better value and superior quality.

Allens always has very friendly service and great fish and chips.Highly recommend it to anyone, far better than the fryers delight!

Sono arrivato in questo posto incuriosito dalle precedenti recensioni. Devo dire che la prima idea che ci si fa del luogo può essere negativa, ma una volta entrati, appena ti portano il pesce, l'idea diventa subito positiva. La portata standard è un pesce enorme con patatine. Per quanto mi riguarda, ottimo. Consigliatissimo

I have been to this fish and chip cafe many times. The fish and chips are the best I have tasted anywhere; the service is always pleasant, cheerful and helpful. It is beautifully clean. An altogether enjoyable and pleasant experience. Prices VERY reasonable indeed. Amazingly good value for money. You would not call it posh, but for an enjoyable fish meal it cannot be bettered.

I used to eat at Fryers Delight and Rock & Sole Plaice when I worked in High Holborn. Fryers was better than Rock & Sole. I have also used Masters in Waterloo, Golden Fish up near Mount Pleasant, Golden Hind and the Seashell up by Marylebone station.Alens is now the best lunch option. Lunch special is very reasonably priced and the fish is beautiful it comes with salad or mushy peas. Tea comes with milk in a separate jug. It is not too busy and the service is very good.Place is nice and clean and pleasant.

In the heart of the city yet with the friendly atmosphere of a small town chipper, Allen's is well worth a visit if you're in the Holborn area. Plenty of room, great service, smiling face's (in London yet) excellent portions. Nothing to complain about.As I left they undercharged me, significantly, I questioned this and was told that 'the fish wasn't big enough'. As if I noticed. Will revisit again and again...

We only popped in to get some chips but it felt like a solid, local chippy. Hand cut chips and homemade pies suggest that they know what people want and they know how to deliver. It's nice to find a London chippy that understands that it has to cut potatoes themselves by hand in order to produce the kind of chips that people expect from a chippy!!

I hadn’t been to this venue before, but had a good night. Good clientele in an intimate venue. The only downside is if you don’t have ice in your drinks, they don’t fill the glass, leaving a inch from the top. What cheapness. Never seen that before. I’d plan on going back, but hopefully this nonsense will stopped being practiced.

Estuve alojandome varios dias en el hotel Maitrise Maida Vale, y como este restaurante estaba practicamente dentro del hotel, he comido/cenado aqi un par de veces. La comida super buena, no tienen mucha variedad en la carta, pero todo lo que pedimos estaba delicioso. El personal super simpatico y atento. Y el precio bastante bien.

I have visited this coffee shop multiple times and it is just great. The coffee served there is the best you can get in the area!

I attended this coffee shop today and bought an oat cappuccino to take away. On past occasions my cappuccino has split all over my hand so I asked the lady who serves the coffee if she could put cling film over the cup to prevent spillage. She become irritated and snapped. I asked her for a cup holder and she again did not listen and put another cup on top. Subsequently when I reached home the coffee was spilled. I shall not be using the coffee shop again. Very rude lady.
