Bonners Fish Bar in Waltham Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I went to see the latest 'Banksy'.

When I'm in London I'll come see Banksy. I hope the price of fish does not increase 4 times))

Was closed when I visited but it’s supposed to be a fantastic chippie. Great signage and artwork inside and out.

Excellent fish and chips! I had to wait about 15 minutes in the cold but totally worth it. 👍🏼 🐟 🍟

Great fish and chips spot and now it's quite famous for Bankcy spot

Has genuine Banksy artwork on it, what can go wrong?

Best about and to see the banksy of course

I like the new paint job on your bar! Keep it up!

Best food and enjoy latest banksy art work

Wait, Banksy posted his picture at 1 p.m., but this guy called "East London Ghostwriter" left a review at 12 p.m. commenting something about Banksy😵‍💫

Banksy and chips, nothing better ✨

Best museum in London and besides some decent fish n chips!

This is a fast food shop. Rate it for its food and service and not just the art that appeared out of nowhere.

Never been here. But I can see it looks amazing!!! If anybody wants to buy me a plane tickit from 🇺🇸 I'd like to try this place.

Business gonna be booming now boy

This place is amazing! My mom introduced me to it due to it being my sisters favourite childhood snack it became mine.😋

Cheated me out of food I paid £27.40 for. I went out Friday night for fish and chips. I hadn't eaten all day and was looking forward to a large CoD and chips. I always buy saveloy for snacks, so got 3 and decided to try a Jamaican patty. I saw him take a large CoD out of the drawer, and he looked round to see that I had seen it. I went to sit down and wait. What I didn't know is that when i wasnt looking, he then put that large CoD back in the drawer and took out 2 little very thin pieces instead - this is them in a 9" lunch container. I don't know if its because I'm a small woman he decided a large CoD was too much - but people treat their families on a Friday night without bringing them all to the chippy, or whether because I bought saveloys that I didn't need a large cod, but he swapped in these 2 very thin pieces (1cm for nearly the whole length and 1.5-2cm at the very top). If you know fish & chips, it's the large flakes of soft fish you get with a large cod that you pay for. This was mostly batter and the pieces were hard and dry, with very minimal flesh. I had been looking for a local chippy for a regular friday night supper and this is 6 mins away from my house so would have been perfect but this is a very dishonest con man. He confirmed I wanted large chips for £5 but I got a normal portion. The saveloy are standard and I haven't looked at the Jamaican patty as yet. Don't go here for your food as it looks like he takes one look at you and decides what to dump on you regardless of what you pay for. No wonder he was completely empty on a Friday night. Never again.

Best fish and chips in the area. Always busy on a Friday night which is a good sign. Will keep coming back.

Server needs to cheer up, moody person

Really Great fish and chips shop for a nice road, would be 5 star if they got rid of the £10 minimum for care.

Proper chippy. Good fish and chips for London. Battered sausage and chips are an absolute delight. Well priced.

The best cod and chips anywhere. They cannot be beat.

The best fish and chip shop in E17! My daughter said, "The sausage in batter was the best"

We really enjoyed the fish and chips (and you were right the large and medium portion was too much! 😏) But we had same for the next day.

It's a very nice atmosphere and very good service! A bonus is that the food is very good as well!!! It's children friendly also. It's kind of a small waiting area, though, so if you're not there quick, you will have to stand and wait until the food is ready (more likely if you live far away)

Great food at a decent price - has become more expensive recently though

Polite staff, good tasting food. Fluffy chips with crispy outer coating, fish isn't too oily, good portions. Also takes card which is appreciated due to convenience, which is refreshing as other chippys only take cash. The interior itself could do with a slight upgrade, but appreciate we are there for the food, not to dine in A allergy list per dish would be greatly appreciated for those suffering with this e.g. milk, gluten, nuts etc etc

Just picking up a good old friend and pop in to buy a drink.

The fish was soggy and the chips were limp, unfortunate considering how much I paid :(

Excellent fish and chips and service with card reader facilities (£10+ only)...

Consistently great chips and good fish. Best in London as far as I'm concerned. They have proper giant gerkins. A bit run down.

Classic chippy. All items cooked fresh

Great food, great price, amazing staff. They also have a few vegan options! We're regulars at this place now. Probably the best fish and chips in London.

Fish chips cooked too order so fresh love it so much look too fridays

This is the best take away fish and chip shop in the area by a country mile. The portions are satisfying, the quality of the fish, lovely crispy batter and tasty, non greasy chips, all served by a friendly owner and his staff.

Well worth the wait number of customers shows what good all rounders Bonners are .

Best chippy in Walthamstow, no contest. Easy.

Great fish and chips, we'll definitely be going back. I probably won't take the car next time to pick up our order as the roads round there were a bit tricky to navigate. I'll probably cycle or walk. The food was excellent, fish wasn't greasy and the chips were perfectly cooked.

You will definitely remember the delicious taste 🐟 🍟

This food is as close to perfection you are going to get it. George is a special guy he is a rarity because he really cares and strives for total excellence and that is just so hard to find. It will he difficult to find better fish and chips than this because the quality is second to none truly is.

The best fish and chips in London! All the guys who work in there are super friendly and are always happy to help. I would never go anywhere else for fried goodies.

Great fish and chips and the staff are also lovely!

Delicious cod and chips!! Massive piece of fish when you order a large. Service is excellent. Always busy so phone ahead

Such great fish and chips from a lovely locally run team! Thanks for always being so good!

This is our first visit back with family in London since COVID from Perth, Australia, staying with my Brother Wilson, and we’re so happy to be able to get Fish and Chips again from Bonners. This is an awesome family business, with great food and service. We look forward to takeaway every trip to London. If you’re in Walthamstow, wherever you’re visiting from in the world, make sure you stop by Bonners.

Traditional chippy, among the best fish and chips I tried in London

Grate fish chips mushy peas curry sauce

Friendly customer service that provides good quality of fish and chips, the only issue I had is the fish batter needed a little bit more salt, more salt and vinegar needed on the chips too, and the mushy peas lacked salt as well which was a shame but other than that you get freshly made fish and chips which I liked.

Best chip shop in the area by far. Pure dedication to the craft - no kebab, chicken, etc. Crunchy chips and fish always done fresh. Don't forget to call ahead if it's likely to be busy. And bring cash if you're spending less than a tenner.

Cheap prices, friendly staff and good food

Best fish and chips in Walthamstow, hands down. Super fresh and great quality. Our go-to chippy!

Excellent, closer during August 2022

Know this place more than 15 years. Couldn't tell that I am regular costumer as popping in two three times a month, but I can say with confidence that they definitely have no problems with customers, and this says a lot about this place.

Best fish n chips in Walthamstow - fresh chips and the best sausage in batter around.

This place is busy on a Friday but it's worth the wait for freshly fried cod. Nice and crispy batter. Saveloy is good too. Card machine wasn't working so take some cash just in case. There is a £10 minimum order for cards but this is understandable given the high transaction charges small businesses have to pay. Support your local chippy, pay a visit today.

Great fish and chips, all cooked fresh. Top service, good value.

If paying by card a minimum £10 spend is required. Which for a chippy is taking the proverbial. The fish and chips were ok. Not terrible, not amazing either.

Really good fish & chips. Scampi too

Excellent and traditional fish and chips in Walthamstow 💫

Been coming here since I was a very small girl living in Walthamstow. I have now moved further out and still use this chippy as it’s the best around!!

Massive shout out to the wonderful chaps who run Bonners. I have been a loyal customer for 9 years and they keep consistently delivering the finest, crispy, freshly made fish & chips. A Walthamstow institution - well done!

Best fish and chips in E17, and probably in the whole city! The staff is welcoming.

Probably the worst fish&chips I had in Walthamstow. I have tried them twice before deciding on this review, not worth waiting 30 min in line for this. Disappointing

I reckon I've had fish and chips from Bonners more than 100 times over the years, but have never thought to write a review before. Anyway, I got a family fish and chips order as per usual last Thursday (1 large cod, 1 battered sausage, 1 large chips, 1 regular chips: which easily feeds 4 with no leftovers). The fish was amazingly fresh, the chips delicious, and the sausage crispy (the kids love that). Oh, and a curry sauce! It really has to be the best takeaway in Walthamstow: never, ever change!

It's was great alway friendly towards there customer

Very good fish and chips to take away. The chips were still crunchy when we got home.

When you receive fresh fish and chips it is delicious however can be a bit hit and miss as I've received chips that tasted like they've been made hours ago. Also, be weary of the older man (I think he's the owner) I've been coming here for many years and noticed when he serves portions are significantly smaller, he is also cunning and tries to overcharge you.

The local fish & chips shop. Enough said.

Hands down best fish and chips in Walthamstow. Quick, friendly staff. Generous portions. Highly recommend. Much better than other pricey places nearby.

Best fish and chips in the area

Amazing F&C!! I also like their battered sausage & chips too!! Perfect with salt & vinegar!! My go to in Walthamstow should I need to fill my F&C cravings!! 😋😋😋

A proper fish and chips! And a very large portion too. Over all it's a great takeaway.

Love their freshly prepared fish & chips 👌

Some of the best fish and chips I've had. Long queues at the weekend so it's worth calling your order in and then going to pick up.

Proper old school fish and chips

I was looking for an alternative to the chippy that I frequented for many years and I think I've found it! I've tried their cod and chips on one occasion and savaloy on another occasion. The fish was crisp, not oily and a perfect size. The savaloy was nice too, but although the chips are alright, I've had better. On both occasions the chips looked a bit darker than what I'm used to seeing in a chippy. Not sure if it's due to being a bit overcooked, or maybe the oil needs changing more often on their busiest days. I went on a Saturday evening which was very busy. When I arrived, there were about 7 or 8 people standing around outside. Turns out they had already ordered and was waiting outside due to social distancing provisions. When I ordered, I was told that it would be a 25min wait, so I waited in my car and made my way back to the shop after 25mins. But I then had to wait a further 10-15 more minutes for my order to be ready. Regardless, the fish was good enough for a return visit. Next time I'll call ahead to make my order. But the wait time and the quality of chips is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

The fish and chips are good. The wait was not.... 30 mins wait on a Saturday 7pm.

Very nice, well priced fish and chips in E17!

The best local chippy for miles around! Staff are friendly, the place is clean and it really is cheap as chips.

I was most disappointed with our food recently every item was dry and seem to have been cooked hours ago. Usually the food is lovely but on this occasion it was not.

Lovely local Fish and Chips Bar. I have been coming here for years. The food is always fresh and tasty and the customer service always friendly and helpful.

Good quality traditional fish and chips.

Fish and Chips on a Friday night. Just a little something of the normal when everything else is going crazy feels so so good. Thank you!

Lovely freshly cooked fish. Only marked it down as wait was 20 to 30 minutes

Best fish I've tried in London so far, it was a perfect cooking time, soft inside and crunchy outside. I haven't ordered chips so I can't tell about them. Also very good service :)

For less than 10 pounds you can have a delicious small Fish and Chips. Though be small, it fills up, believe me!!

Lovely place to buy good fish and chips

Best value for money fish and chips in town

Bonners are masters of the deep fry. Never had a bad experience after going on 5 years of patronage.

So good I went twice this week.

Best chips I've had in the UK, hands down. They've got a solid crunch on the outside while still being nice and fluffy on the inside. I got the battered Rock fish, which was lovely, and we enjoyed the saveloy and battered sausage. Really excellent! And thank you for the recommendation of the rock fish, lady on the counter - excellent call!

Great Friday night supper can't wait for Friday's 😁

Best fish & chips in Walthamstow

Never had a bad experience at Bonners in the years that I’ve been a customer. Delicious fish and chips every time.

Local small fish and chips shop. Very tasty fish and chips. Friendly and helpful staff which always wants to help and recommend. I definitely would recommend to try some dishes to any locals and also the wider public. I bought the traditional fish and chips and it was very tasty and freshly cooked. Amazing place in Walthamstow.

Best fish n chip in Walthamstow by a country mile..

Community based shop which is lovely. Amazing and friendly staff! Yummy food :)

This is the best local chippie I've had in London. The batter texture is especially good, just make sure you get it home quick so it doesn't steam itself soggy! Portion sizes and prices are great, and the staff has gotten to know lots of regulars. You may wait a while for your meal, but that's because it's so popular and busy rather than a problem with service.

THE HEART OF WALTHAMSTOW. You won't get better fish and chips in miles. May be an exaggeration, as I am a regular, but if you live round this end of Walthamstow, you KNOW Bonners and you KNOW how good it is. Very reasonably priced and the staff there are so friendly and such great members of the community. I have such fond memories of picking up fish and chips from here on the way back from a parent's evening. I could not rate this any more highly. This is a Walthamstow staple.

Best fish & chips in Walthamstow (I’ve tried them all). Everything is freshly fried and super fresh.
