Fish and Tipple in Richmond upon Thames

I love the unique chip shop-cum-off-licence concept here, which is what drew me in when I had a craving for some good old-fashioned chips. Stopped by for lunch and had to wait about ten minutes as my medium portion was cooked fresh to order. The chips came out piping hot, perfectly fluffy on the inside, and I gave them a generous splash of salt and vinegar—just the way I like it! While the quality of the chips was great, I was disappointed by the portion size. For the price, I expected a bit more, and I left feeling a bit short-changed. Nice place overall.

Very tasty fish and chips cooked to order not oily at all , fish was chunky not mushy asked for double cooked chips 😋 yummy.

First time today and was very very happy the staff were lovely and friendly The food was outstanding tasty and fresh Definitely recommend 👌

Decided to try this Fish & Chip Shop after a few people recommended it to me and i just have to say, It was incredible. The whole experience, the Cashier/Cook was incredibly nice and very talkative very welcoming, the fish was fresh and very tasty, the batter to fish ratio was perfect, the chips were thick and crispy and incredible, nothing tasted oily or too fishy. The prices at first i thought were a bit higher than your usual Chippy but after tasting it and experiencing it i can say it is well worth it !!! Very Happy Customer will defo be returning

Best fish and chip shop in Twickenham!

Try the mega chips, very tasty, mind you the portion is huge! Excellent fish as well.

Best fish and chip shop I have been to very clean great food and service to match

Medium chips had about 25 chips, not even small Saveloy cold and dry "Home made" chilli sauce was terrible and questionable Absolutely bizarre a place like this is still open

Absolutely disgusting cod burnt chips horrible and cold cheapest made burger which dobt state salad in it and burger sauce for my child sasauges in batter dry not a crispy part on it dry and stuck to the sasauges 4 things cost 30 quid and ended up cooking a proper dinner anyway avoid this place and save your money

The nicest fish and chips I've eaten and the guy who works there George is very kind and very Helpful.

Absolutely love this place. Genius idea to combine a chippy with an offy. The range of things available is impressive too, just like a chippy up north.

Popped in to grab a quick piece of battered cod for lunch. Ordered and was told it would be 12 minutes as its all cooked fresh. Fair enough and I said I would go for a quick stroll and was thena sked to pay in advance, again nothing wrong with that. Came back after 10 minutes, he was on his phone and signalled another 5 minutes and went back to his call. After that five minutes, I asked again and was told a few more minutes at which point I said I was in a hurry. Another customer came in at which point he told his friend on the phone that he had to go, took his order and then gave me a lecture about the dangers of undercooked fish - clearly he is not a fan of sushi! He then said it would be another 1-2 minutes but that if I wanted it now it would not be his fault if it was undercooked - that was just being pedantic but I told him to give it to me anyway. He then took it out of the fryer, did not even let it rest for a few seconds to drain the oil and put it into some paper wrapping, no greaseproof liner. I asked if he could put it in one of the takeaway boxes on the counter and he said that would be 30p extra even after I had bought the cod and a tub of Ben and Jerrys at £6-50 that is sold at £4-50 in supermarkets. I told him that was just a f****** liberty and then got a lecture about language ( justified!) and how he had to cover his costs! Took the fish home, it was edible but did not taste fresh which is probably why it takes 12 minutes to cook from frozen. Either that or he is too mean to keep his oil hot during quiet hours. Don't go here unless you have time to kill or are a fan of Fawlty Towers!

Went in at lunch for just a piece of cod, no chips. Was told it would be 12 minutes and said I would go for a walk and come back- payment in advance requested which is fair enough. Came back after 10 minutes and was told another 5 mins, 5 mins later whilst he was permanently on his mobile phone talking to a mate, asked again and was told 1-2 mins. Eventually had to tell him to give it to me and he muttered about not his fault if undercooked. Wrapped in paper without leaving aside for a few seconds for the oil to drain- asked for serving box as stacked on counter and was told 30 p extra!! Told him that was a f’ing liberty and got an earful for swearing. Clearly he doesn’t keep the oil heated at lunch and probably uses frozen fish. Never again - ….. if Fawlty Towers did chip shops!

First time trying this place for me and my wife, unfortunately wasn’t great, chips to be fair were quite nice, but as soon as we unwrapped the fish it smelled burnt and was badly over cooked to the point it was inedible, same with the savaloy, not sure how it happened as we were the only customers

I had high hopes for this place and it was the first time I’ve been. Sadly the fish was overcooked and the service was slow. I waited over 25 mins for a piece of overcooked fish!

Loved their cod, cooked fresh to order, very busy and the gentleman serving us was very nice to talk to!

Guys, best fish and chips I’ve had in years. After a game of football down the road I decided to get a large fish and chips to take away. The batter was so perfectly crisp i can truly say it was one of the best plus it was a large piece of fish. Waiting time was long but it was near closing time. Would I go back again? Yes. Happy to wait if the fish batter is crispy like before. You can’t rush the chef, spot on food. See you again.

Double and then triple check your order! Every single time I've supported this place they mess the order up. every. Single. Time. I wouldn't go back if there was another chippy closer.

Great service, great shop layout plenty of options, do recommend. Harry

Hot crispy batter surrounding delicious fresh chunky flakes of fish and crispy chips best we’ve had in a long time

An unusual combination of fish and chip shop and off-licence. Good fish, good chips. All food seems to be cooked to order so often quite a wait. Vegan options available. They do a 'Wow wow Wednesday' promotion with several meals like savaloy, chips and curry sauce each for £5 (cash only). There is a range of beers, wines, ciders, etc (including the excellent Old Rosie cider) for sale.

The best fish and chips we have had in a very long time, maybe ever! Crispy batter, flakey fish, proper chips, cooked to order, friendly and efficient service - just perfect. We will certainly be back. Thank you very much.

Freshest fish and chips I've ever had! Lovely staff and the place looked spotlessly clean. Found it by accident as our usual spot was closed - will be coming here again!

The chips were super fresh. Also had battered sausage which historically in my experience (NOT AT FISH AND TIPPLE, it was the 1st time) are a real hit n miss. The battered sausage here was just battered correctly, giving flavour without being so thick (which I expect the average chippy does, to mask poor quality grey-ish meat. The meat here tastes like high quality, which I don’t think I’ve found more than twice over 20 year and those were coastal. Last but not least I had I think it was titled literally ‘tub of thick gravy which was the absolute governor. Pinnacle of a British cuisine, so if you’re not from here or are new in the UK… you gotta go eat it! Fish n tipple way ahead of other competitors. I was going same gaff also in TW code - the were my only, my first to but their standards dripping too low :( Just writing this im prob gonna get it tomo!

Very fresh chips, cooked to order. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏 💯 🙌

Great Chippie I would recommend

Gluten free fish and chips on Thurs-Sun!! That is worth 5 stars right there. Always fresh, cooked to order, fried in rapeseed oil so never greasy. Clean store, great flavour, generous portion sizes and staff are always friendly.

Always freshly cooked, which often means a small wait. Lovely food, not oily and tastes great.

Wrong order no refund or resolution

Best fish and chips in the Twickenham area for sure. Food is made to order and I would highly recommend the cod gougons which is their speciality and the chips are always on point. Friendly staff and reasonable prices 10/ 10.

Good fish, great chips, excellent hosts. Would return.

Great Food cooked to order. The chips are fantastic❤️

The food is very tasty and the cleanliness of the shop/counter is impeccable. Highly recommended

Basically a con...... I paid for a large portion of chips and got normal portion. Won't go back......

Waiting time for 2 portions of chips, an unbattered sausage, a fishcake & a small bag of mozzarella sticks was 25 minutes and there was no one else in the shop waiting. I don’t know what the purpose is of the woman behind the counter who stood there smiling but gormless and apparently unable to serve. Now for the food. The sausage tasted like it was a month old, was completely inedible so I gave it to the dog. The fishcake was dry & overcooked and the mozzarella sticks were completely incinerated. The whole lot went in the bin. The chips were nice. And that’s the only positive I have for this place. I won’t be back.

placed an order for takeaway over the phone and I had specifically asked for just ketchup and cheese in my burger, I went to collect my food and went all the way home only to open the burger and see that they’ve put burger sauce instead of ketchup. I am highly allergic to the ingredients in burger sauce and as a result of this I could’ve ended up in hospital if I even took a bite. Not only that, but the cod I ordered was extremely greasy and soggy. The batter had come off on the paper it was wrapped in. When I went to return my order I asked for a full refund of my food and the owner of the shop denied me a refund for the fish and said that it wasn’t his problem that I am allergic to the burger sauce. He argued with me and only gave me an apology and said would refund for the burger that’s it, even though the whole meal was ruined due to the fact that I could’ve been put in hospital because of the standard of food and service they provide. I will never be returning as I am concerned for my health. Would recommend people triple check their order at the counter if ordered for takeaway.

Best chips I’ve had in a long time. Perfect!

OMG the cheesy chips are too die for and worth coming here just for those. Staff was very friendly, fish was a little overdone, and the batter was a little too crispy for me personally. However I would definitely come back and try a different fish with cheesy chips of course

Absolutely excellent very fresh and nice and hot 🔥

I've had fish and chips from 'Fish & Tipple' a couple of times now and on each occasion the fish was both fresh and fried to perfection in a delicious clean batter. The chips the same, fried to a light golden colour, fresh and clean... Good prices too, I definitely recommend this fish and chip shop.. 5*****

Very nice fish and chip shop, they cook as you order which means a few minutes wait but well worth it as everything is hot and fresh, the owners are very friendly and everything is very clean and bright, they also sell ice creams and beer and wine etc.

Always worth the wait for freshly cooked produce while you wait

The worst fish and chips ever! Expensive, wait ages, and bad food. Never again.

The owner went out his way ti make me fresh fried chips. . Perfect! Hence why i gave 5 starts as he did not want me to have dry stale chips! 6 minute wait was very much worth every penny!

Always a good experience here. Phoned ahead and placed the order. The cod and chips were excellent and at a reasonable price. Never used the off license part of the business yet though. Staff have always been quite polite and friendly.

Probably the best fish and chip shop in the Twickenham area.

Chose a battered sausage because I could see it there and it was late but they cooked a fresh one instead. Best sausage & chips we've ever had; not greasy and all well done. Plus, excellent and friendly service.

Incredible service from the guy working on the 9th May. We had a couple of bits missing from our order and he personally delivered them to us. Couldn’t ask for better service. Food was great too!

Great fish and chips and a pretty decent off licence too

If you order pie and chips he will microwave the pie not nice And if it would possible to rate 0 star I wood have

EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED- had high hopes from this place. 1st time ordered 2 portion of fish online. When open the packaging saw my fish wrapped in a puddle of oil that I had to drip out in the bin!!! The batter was hard and chewy. The fish inside was yellow and hard. In the same order my friends cod was freshly fried, white flaky cod and crispy batter. I wouldn't except any excuse for stale refried fish that has been sitting around for the whole day!

I have ordered scampi and chips from this takeaway. The chips and scampi are delicious. The chips are crunchy with a soft middle. The scampi is also crunchy on the outside with the scampi dry on the inside. Try you will not disappointed. The ordering system is very efficient too.

Fish not too bad , takes very long after the order although he kept saying 5 more minutes ...

Never been here before but it's great I only had sausage and chips but they were great and the fish in the cabinet looked great too

We waited over 45 minutes for a very small simple order and they were NOT busy. In the meantime they decided to fulfill an online order whilst we were there with a baby standing around for some chips and a couple of sausages in batter! The food isn't good and the portions are stingy, batter is too thick, chewy and stodgy. Would NEVER eat here again. Terrible customer service. The guy definitely didn't want to be there.

Came back to the area to visit my mother and I decided to treat myself and the family to some fish and chips for dinner. Walking into the shop I thought it was a great concept and the place looked clean, stylish and modern. Upon walking in there was 1 other person who had already ordered so I went straight to the front to put in my order. After ordering a large haddock, chips, fish cake and battered sausage I was told 15 minutes which was fine. After around 15 minutes numerous other people came in and out having ordered and taken their food. Finally after 25 minutes I was asked for my order again and said it will be another 5 minutes. 10 minutes later I was handed my order with ‘everything being in the bag’. I paid up and left the shop having to find at home they didn’t include the battered sausage but gladly charged me for it. The food itself was lovely and I can’t complain but for a fish and chip shop with a waiting time longer than a restaurant... a clear problem. Honestly I want to find ways to give this a good review but I just can’t justify more than 3 stars and this is solely because of the food. I won’t go back but as the area is limited, it’s your call.

Fish and chips were good. Owner was being very unpleasant to his staff about giving too many chips as it would "make him bankrupt"

This seems to be a fish and chip takeaway at the back of an off-licence. Bit strange at first when you walk in, especially as for my visit there wasn’t actually anything in the glass heated cabinets which make up the fish and chip bar at the end of the shop. Haphazard queueing system and you have to ask people if they’ve been served if there is anyone in front of you and what seems to happen is that the chips are being cooked on the go all the time but anything else is cooked to order or at least it was for the 10 minutes I spent in here waiting for my order. But unlike other fish and chip takeaway is at least you’ve got plenty to look at whilst you’re waiting and it was actually quite enjoyable perusing all the racks of beer and wine until my order was ready. My order of sausage and chips was actually quite good but then again it is quite difficult to bugger that up..

Simply delicious. Very fresh food which is beautifully cooked. There is a super range of dishes which are very good value. Attentive friendly staff. A great way to start the weekend.

Curry sauce was so flavourless I thought I had covid-19 🤣 this is not a joke.

I live around the corner from fish & tipple, always great food fantastic customer service which is very rare these days

I brought 4 lots of Fish and Chips from here last night. We really enjoyed it, great food and service.

Fish and chips cooked to perfection and a good portion for medium fish. While you wait you might as well choose a good tipple to go with it. Helpful staff!! Offered to put my drink in the freezer while I wait for my order to be cooked.

Great Fish Chip Shop & Off License ..yes the same store..brilliant

Busy fish and chip shop. Consistently great food and some of the tastiest chips around. Be prepared to wait as it gets busy, but it’s worth the effort.

Great fish and chips went down really well as a course at a dinner party. Saved cooking. This was first takeaway for a year so well pleased.

Freshly cooked whilst we waited... Very good Fish 'n Chips!

A long wait, slow service and really oily fish. Nice enough staff though and certainly a clean place.

Eaten from here a couple of times . I find the fish oily but my partner likes it . This time I Found TWO hairs in my fish and chips . Obviously do not have good hygiene . Will not go back after this .

Very nice family chip fish and chip shop + off-licence excellent idea

Best fish and chips. Very clean and fresh food. Very nice owner and staff. If you don't won't to wait, as everything is cooked fresh. Try ordering before picking up.

Ordered food, stood waiting for 20 minutes before they told me the person on the till hadn't told anyone to actually cook it. Then said it would be another 15 minute wait. Useless staff, got my money back and went to the decent chippies in Whitton.

very clean place, super-friendly and helpful people....and the food is great. highly recommended

The food was very nice fish freshly cooked and flavour was very good. Hot some for my kids and good size and they enjoyed them.. All round very good.

Beautiful quality cod this evening. Very impressed with its quality and value .

Beautiful fish and chips and very friendly service

Great food, very well done and good prices

First time i had fish chips when it first opened it was superb ...then i had it a second time a few months ago and it wasn't so nice ...then yesterday fish was ok a tad over cooked ...did not like chips

This is our local and we like it a lot. We've enjoy cod bites, battered sausage, rock and steak pie. All are delicious. The chips make a great chip butty.

Really good Chips, one of the best i have had in Twickenham, it was a bit unfortunate for the kids in the local area who where causing trouble outside the shop, oyher wise 5 stars keep up the great work Dav

Every thing is cooked from fresh

Popped in on Sunday as the local was closed. Overall experience was very good. Friendly staff and great food. Food was battered once you placed the order and fried just for you and was still piping hot by the time we had driven home. The large cod was easily shared between 3 people (was meant to be shared between 2 originally but it was just that big). 2 Large portions of chips which was more than enough for 4 people. Ordered 2 Battered Sausages and they were great, the right amount of batter, crispy to when eaten but not greasy. Also ordered battered halloumi which was okay, more of a personal preference but I guess i would rather have it grilled so that's the reason I won't order it again. But to clarify, the halloumi was cooked and battered perfectly, just personal preference.

Expensive for what it is.... Not going back!

Not bad, good fish and chips. However, there is a fifteen minutes wait.

Super disappointing service. Called in to make an order, was told 20 mins and arrived on time. When I got there, they hadn’t even started the order! Said it’s because they were busy but there wasn’t even one person in there! Staff was very rude, extremely so! Fish is not even that good and service is terrible. Too many good fish and chips in this area to ever waste a penny on people that clearly don’t want brown business. Won’t be coming back. Only reason I waited was because it was already too late as the family was hungry and I knew this would be the last time. Said he was sorry but CLEARLY not sorry!

Not from the area but best chippy I've been too fish goujons were really crispy

Large pieces of fish. Lovely light crispy batter

Been giving this a go for past few weeks and service has always been slow and haphazard, no process, no clear waiting queue, ordering queue etc etc but food has always been decent BUT wont be going back again now. Same normal slow, random service - give your order 3 times but this time with added pleasure of then getting my order wrong despite telling me it was all in the bag and then I watched the fella mis-charge me for an item that he had just checked with me. Watched as he keyed in the wrong amount but then tried to tell me it was right. What else are they getting wrong?!

Nicest fish and chips I have had for a long time. It takes a long time but is all cooked fresh. Staff very friendly and courteous. Would highly recommend if you're not in a hurry!

delicious fish and chips made fresh, lovely staff, family run business. my regular chippy to go to. will definitely be back again

We bought cod and chips from this establishment yesterday. It was rubbish. The fish batter was difficult to differentiate between the itself and the paper that it was wrapped in. In fact we had to dump it because it was so soggy and impossible to separate. The chips can only be described as a camp lump of mush. So please be warned. We are not over fussy souls, but I feel we were charged £17 for a very poor effort.

We have had food from here many times and its great everything is cooked to. Order so you can wait a little longer but well worth it would highly recommend

The fish was beautifully cooked, not greasy and crispy batter. The chips were also nice but average. For me the fish is most important and I would give that a 5 star on its own. The downside was I queued up for 30 mins with only 6-7 people in front of me - that's not right for fish and chips. The lady at the counter was very friendly and apologetic so at least they acknowledged the problem and hopefully improve on it.

Fish was better than most fish and chips shops but the chips where worse than almost an I've been to before

Nice little shop food not to bad if your in the area check it out. They sell veering from alcohol to fish and chips.

Lovely , you can get fat and drunk utopia!! Chips are good.

Excellent place what a thing to do guy should branch out

Yeah the service is a bit slow but the staff are lovely and I think the fish and chips are better than others locally. The sausage could be better.

As ever great service & wonderful food!!!!
