If you love the steamed-up windows of a traditional chippy on a cold evening, and a paper wrapper brimming with tasty chips, Cod upon Thames is for you. The staff are friendly and chatty, the fish is good, the chips are even better (or should that been even batter?), and it’s only the stark décor and brutalist interior that denies this little local treasure the full star rating. Maybe it's the oil, or the way they cut them, but the chips are plump and flavoursome. Burnished metal walls make it feel like you’re in a shipping container, and the counter is so high it’s only possible to glimpse the staff. But let’s focus on the food. It’s the usual mixture of bangers (some in batter), chicken, burgers and fish ‘n’ chips. Standard fish and chips is under seven quid, pies are £2.40, and you can get chip butties (£1.60), cheesy chips for £3 and standard chips – a good-sized portion – for £1.80. Extras include onion rings, mushy peas and baked beans, and Cod upon Thames also does pineapple fritters and curry sauce. Soft drinks are housed in a large fridge at the far end.

Lovely meal, very welcoming staff. Able to eat being gluten free, dairy free AND vegetarian! Not just ‘eat’ but it was very tasty. Good prices. Were helpful putting a candle in my daughters’ pudding for her birthday. My free from pudding was gorgeous. Lovely generous helpings in the sundaes. Perfect for after a day in the theme park too before the journey home and skip the traffic.

It's one of the very few pubs that dont smell like beer as soon as you enter. Nice ambiance and good garden seating as well

What a shame. Always go here whenever I'm in Kingston. U r always guaranteed a good coffee. Today was no different but sadly I enjoy reading my paper on Saturday while enjoying my flat white. Apparently this is no longer allowed on weekends because my paper happens to be on a tablet. What utter nonsense. How can me reading my paper be intrusive to other people enjoying their coffee. Don't know if the refit has brought new management policies but a coffee shop that bans people from reading while drinking their coffee is one that has lost sight of its purpose. So goodbye, time to find a coffee shop that hasn't lost its mind.
