Fishboroughmarket in Southwark

Lovely fish pie, well presented. Not sure why this place has a low rating, we found it excellent.

There were a couple of flies bothering us, even before the food arrived. I did mention this to the staff. The fish was nice, but the poached egg was underdone. (Little bit gloopy).

Been here many times. I love it

Fries are rather boiled than crunchy, the oil is old, the fish is less than average. The staff is so nice that from the first moment you want to go somewhere else. Unfortunately, nothing positive to say about this place.

A nice place with friendly staff a good food at reasonable prices

The best fish & chips! If you don't go to the restaurant, there's limited seating and the lines are usually long, but it's worth the wait.

I know my fish and chips and this is the best I have come across so far. Maybe there is something better, but I haven't found it yet. We ordered the Cod and Haddock, both had a light crispy batter and the fish meat was succulent and tasted fresh, so much so I didn't use any condiments like salt, pepper or ketchup. The service was very good and the staff were friendly and attentive, I would come here again with no qualms. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended, as the name suggests, for fish lovers. Great corner of London with numerous restaurants and pubs, or inns as they are called in England. Prices are high, but reasonable for London and for the quality. Easily accessible by subway.

While exploring the borough market, saw a line for London’s famous fish & chips. Well well well, let me try this now It was a ‘to-go’ line (not the actual restaurant) and the line was moving fast. Seems they were only taking orders of fish & chips. I ordered one (Plaice fish) and unfortunately, I got burned fish. And that was too full of oil – 2/5 Doesn’t matter if they won some ‘Fish-Chip Award’ if you don’t maintain consistency. And to-go customers- they might come back so treat them nicely, please. if I am asking where are folks/sauces are – point them out nicely. Just handing out the food doesn’t mean your job is finished.

I had my reservations about trying the famous English fish and chips, but I have to say I loved it, not at all seafoody, well seasoned, perfect service, I definitely recommend it.

Our expectations were far below, the shrimp plate was nice.

They have both a restaurant and a takeaway stand. Naturally, prices vary depending on whether you choose to dine in at the restaurant or opt for takeaway. The takeaway stand is prominently located in the center of Borough Market and is easy to find. We opted for the cod and chips, which was simply a piece of battered cod served with chips. I appreciated the high turnover, which ensured the fish was fresh, the batter remained crisp, and the overall meal was enjoyable. It's a straightforward, no-frills offering.

Great spot, good fond, good service. A bit expensive.

Beware! Fish was not fully cooked. It was still translucent and the chips were old. To top it off…they over charged my credit card. The front cashier was rude with no one waiting. Picked up take away in Borough market. We ended up throwing it all away.

Great quality fish and chips, with daily fresh fish specials. The outdoor terrace is very nice atmosphere. Little pricey when you can get the same plate but as takeaway for £10 less than dining in… overall good food

Terrible. My mussels were off and smelt like a farmyard - my husband asked me what the smell was as he was concerned where it was coming from. After the waitress took them away and said sorry, it took a while to come back to say they were end of season so might be why they weren’t right. I ordered something else. Got my food after my husband finished his, I lost my appetite and ate a few bites. I was offered a free dessert but had lost faith in the place and asked for bill. No offer of discount or free drinks. Husband now feels sick and is concerned it’s due to the food he had at the restaurant. Will absolutely not be returning and advise anyone considering this place to steer clear.

I had an amazing experience here all thanks to my server Holly! She was so lovely and welcoming and so attentive and quick! I would definitely come back all thanks to her!

A fish and chips without much interest, at a high price. Fish! takes advantage of its strategic location in the heart of Borough Market, but the plate does not follow. This signature dish is OK but not flashy. For such a high price, we expect much better. The whole thing gives the impression of a tourist trap more than a real gourmet address. The setting remains pleasant, the service however is insistent and sluggish. It is therefore not a stopover that I would recommend as a priority in London. FYI, £9 to £12 is the average price of quality fish and chips in London.

Ordered the fish and chips, definitely not freshly made. I don't expect much from English food anyways but the service was good.

Little for a lot of money. Food tastes quite good. A little quieter than the whole of Borough Market.

The worst fried fish I've ever tried. Had the daily special with sauce, and it had mouldy taste. Maybe its just a matter of taste, but definitely not for me.

I ate fish and chips it was good

Delicious cod fish and chips at Borough market. Crazy buzzing with people on Sunday afternoon . Good size portion. A bit of a queue but it moved quickly. Then only downside is finding a place to enjoy the meal.

Thanks to Tony for looking after us all 👍

I had better fish and chips elsewhere in UK so i felt this seemed overhyped

Unfortunately disappointing, we were there last year and loved it. Because of this, we really wanted to eat there again this year and were extremely disappointed because the fish was 50% smaller and the amount of fries couldn't be described as a portion. Fries hard and cold. For £19 it's a disgrace.

Great fish, very fresh and fat. The fries are kinda meh but it's alright.

The fish is fresh and juicy and fat! So good! The fries are alright.

The food was not tastefully made. The badder (thick layer around the fish) of the fish (and chips) was way too thick and interrupted the flavour and crunchy taste of the dish. The staff didn't even come to ask if we were enjoying the food after being served. I saw other people as well removing the big and thick badder layer of the fish to enjoy the taste of the fish in the first place. There was a fat-free paper on the plate under the fish. The purpose of this was not clear to me. The paper gets soggy, and it can easily be eaten cause people cut into it. The net over the lemon is unnecessary and very wasteful. Appetizer: The bread (with butter) could have been warmed up. Only the sides: olives, spinach, and green/mix salad had a nice taste. Did not stay for dessert. Price wise , food wise and service wise this place I would not recommend.

Lovely dinner with my out of town guest. She loved their fish & chips. I had chorizo squid. Highly recommend.

Food ok, service slow once busy, in heart of busy Borough market. Poor tap beer selection.

Unfortunately didn’t satisfy my expectations :-/ cashier unfriendly, there was no sauce available and the chips were without any taste 😒 fish was okay but I missed a little bit of taste. I also found it expensive.

I've tasted nicer fish and chips. Bit on the pricey side won't be visiting again.

We went for dinner this evening I had fish and chips. For 25 quid I expect cooked chips and a bigger piece of fish, I guess being sustainable means splitting a portion in three and not cooking the chips. Not impressed. Wine was good and that’s about all I can say. My friend has the fish pie, I think there were more mushrooms than pieces of fish.

Very good indeed. Beautiful lemon sole. Service charge of 13.5% is somewhat off putting.

Stunning place, plenty of food Lovely atmosphere

Nice and attentive service. Lovely food. Would recommend :)

Characteristic place, you can eat any food, savory, sweet, ethnic or the classic English fish and chips, delicious and plentiful, there are lots of people, queues everywhere but quite hasty. It is best to find out beforehand and not go on an empty stomach to avoid stopping in the first place you come across. However, I would say that it is a stop not to be missed.

The food was exquisite, but even more so the attention of Giovanni, a boy who gave us some top top recommendations. Greetings from Chile

Great service and great food. A bit touristy, my only gripe.

We go to this restaurant mainly to sit down and eat excellent fish and chips. Beautiful shaded terrace and typical covered market room. Cool atmosphere.

I actually went to the fish and chip shop section and can confirm they're the best fish and chips in London. Fast, friendly service and unsurprisingly it is a recent winner of UK fish and chip shop of the year.

Can't beat it for service and quality food

The worst fish and chips I have ever had. Undercooked and did not taste fresh. The texture was of frozen fish. The chips were good. The curry sauce excellent. I would not ever get this if craving fish and chips.

Fresh & delightful food, excellent service.

The waiter was aggressive, and for a renowned fish and chips, it was truly disappointing—it felt like a greasy sponge

Ate here today. Absolutely horrendous. £31.50 for two fish and chips and 1 tartar sauce. The fish was soggy and drenched in oil... the frozen chips (we seen taken out the bag) soggy and swimming in oil. Tartar sauce was basically just mayo! We have both been violently sick all evening. Its ruined our weekend trip to London. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Good atmosphere, food of all kinds.

I went yesterday to dinner alone and from the very first moment the girl at reception, a blonde with very long hair, was super kind and friendly, the waiters too, very friendly and recommending good food (everything I had for dinner was delicious, starters, main course and desserts), making the evening enjoyable. I came back the today and they remembered me and gave me a super cute smile, which is appreciated when you go to dinner on a Thursday night in London alone and they were very nice to me. I will definitely come back here when I am next in London.

We came here after seeing it advertised as the best fish and chips in London, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the chips were delicious. The portion size was just right, filling but not overwhelming. We visited on a weekend at Borough Market, so the lineup was long, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

The Cod Fish & Chips were quite expensive in terms of price, but the taste was not a highlight! The portion wasn't very big. I think you can get better and cheaper somewhere else.

Beautiful food and great atmosphere.

Very good fish and chips! The neighborhood is very nice

Local located in the Borough Market area, which is striking for its large windows and furnishings. The ceiling decorated with hanging ropes is very particular. The bar counter divides the room in two around which you can sit to eat with a view of the kitchen. Minimal but elegant mise-en-place as well as the choice of tables. Friendly, fast and efficient service. Menu presents different choices between starters and main courses; we took the classic cod fish & chips (you can choose the type of fish) with beer breading and chips. For children, a dedicated menu for £9.50 with a choice of various dishes, a drink and dessert. The wine, cocktail and drinks list is also well-stocked. Account in line with the city and location. Advised

Spectacular, worth every pound.

The cod fish and chips were really good but the sticky toffee pudding was simply amazing! Really good service too!

Great evening, food was amazing and service very good

We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived (we hadn't made a reservation and the restaurant was quite busy on Sunday lunchtime) and shown to a table. Our orders were taken in good time with the waitress explaining some of the choices. The food was delicious as was the glass of house white we chose. A great first experience.

Well-cooked, tasty food in an airy environment between Borough Market and Southwark Cathedral. A good balance between tradition and modernity. Attentive, professional service. My haddock, chips and mushy peas took me back to a past when good, traditional food was more easily available.

Lovely amazing staff. But ridiculously overpriced for food you can get in a pub. Was expecting to be blown away by the fish - it was bang average. The chips were scrappy. However the service is great and does elevate the experience. However to spend 25-30 on a small main dish - I'd expect much better and can get it elsewhere. Maybe a tourist trap these days?

Friendly staffs and a nice variety of food. Busy restaurant.

Luxury fish and chips. You can choose the fish. Very friendly treatment

Arrived early for my booking. Got shown to our table by a very friendly member of staff. Ordered wine which was very nice and arrived promptly. My partner ordered the Haddock and chips with mushy peas and I ordered the Grilled Swordfish which came with seasonal veg and I chose the herb and garlic butter sauce and a side of new potatoes. My partner loved her meal and mine was fantastic too. My partner ordered a liqueur coffee with Baileys. I ordered the Neals Yard cheese, biscuits, grapes and quince jelly. Both went down a treat. Will definitely be visiting again. All the staff were attentive and provided exceptional service.

Today I visit the borough market and I have the best Take Away fish and chips I’ve ever try. Noelia was very friendly and polite at the same time. Amazing ❤️

Disastrous treatment, unfriendly waitress, tasteless food, they don't know Spanish, they charge you for tap water later just like paying to be on the terrace when it was an obligation

Used to be a nice place to eat but the recent dinner there was terrible. Overpriced and poorly cooked. I would not recommend this venue.

Very tasty, staff attentive and polite. It is not comfortable to sit on iron chairs.

Was here for some fish and chips at their takeaway kiosk. Had a terribly long queue, but was fast moving. They had a number of fishes to choose from. Ordered Hake and it was fresh and tasted good. Large portions. Service was quick.

Love it here amazing place great location

I ate it in line for take-out, but the fried fish was very filling and delicious. My son, who doesn't like seafood, enjoyed it very much. However, there were too many people and there wasn't a good place to eat, so it was a bit inconvenient.

Good food and service was ok The tastes are fantastic

Fabulous haddock, great fish and seafood menu

10-20 years ago this was a very decent fish restaurant, with all manner of fish choice: now it's morphed into an expensive fish & chips diner, riding on past reputations. The fish and chips was OK, fish was fresh but at £30 for a portion (after service) for a standard fish/chips it wasn't brilliant and portions were stingy, just a handful of chips and a capful of mushy peas. Service was OK though, and it's always packed.

Lively atmosphere, efficient service but charged at 13.5% on the bill which is a lot . Good fish and chips well served but it should be for £22 for a fish supper . Packed out so they must be doing something right 👍

Best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten. I got the haddock and it was £22. Lovely interior too

Unexpected place in Borough Market. If you want to sit down and eat some lovely fish & chips instead of eating something on your feet is your place.

There's a bit of queuing but it's worth it! Cod fish and chips, the menu offers other dishes but we wanted to stay classic. Cod and fresh fish depending on market availability, a crispy beer batter and chips. Perfect for your first fish and chips. Moist and fragrant fish, super crunchy batter, and a huge portion!

Great place to have a fish lunch! Great selection of fish dishes, well cooked and good atmosphere.

This was the WORST and very much OVERPRICED fish and chips I have ever ever tasted. A few of us ordered the fish fingers and, seriously guys come on, you put JUST FOUR skinny little stinking “fish fingers” in with rubbish chips and it’s an absolute RIP-OFF! I took out my whole family here because I had heard so much about visiting Borough Market and how the food is authentic and blah blah blah, well, it was disgusting. The fish stinks! It’s not supposed to be smelly like that, there are sooooo many beautiful fish and chip places that are actually worth paying a little extra for. Please don’t waste your money here if you do t want to be miserably disappointed!

We enjoyed everything at this restaurant. Food was very good, we had quite a few options from the menu: sardines, marinated anchovies, mackerel with pesto and salad, seabass and the absolute winner- fish & chips (cod option) which was sublime. Batter well seasoned, very light, fish was very fresh and flavoursome, chips were real and not frozen, tartar sauce - excellent. Our waitress Georgiana was very nice and helpful, providing excellent recommendations for the food and the wine, really top-notch service from her and the rest of the staff. It was a special night for us and we are glad we spent it here. Gave 3 stars for the atmosphere, but not the restaurant ‘s fault. It was a rainy, cold Monday evening and by 9 pm the restaurant was empty. We will visit again, hopefully in a warmer season!

A pleasant, atmospheric restaurant with tasty food. ☺️ Short waiting time for the order. Nice service. 😀

It's always a pleasure to dine here.

Rich!!!! There is little space to sit and many people, a water 3.50 pounds!!! Expensive!!! But that's London. Crispy and very tasty fish

The fried fish is very delicious! Fish and chips is 14£, give it a try! 😆

Smilena, gave is the perfect service! good food!

Fish was ridiculously oily, portions were small and service was adequate. Definitely not worth what we paid.

Unmissable if you enjoy seafood and are in London. We attended on a Thursday evening in February without a reservation and were given one of the “bar seats” overlooking the kitchen. You can see first hand the care and focus that is going into food preparation. I recommend the haddock with bubble and squeak and poached egg. Friendly service and quality fresh food, what’s not to like?

Ordered sea bass fish&chips and Calamari. The portion of both menu was too small while the price is twice compared to average restaurant. The taste was okay.

It is a beautiful fish of a very substantial size. A little greasy and the fries not so cooked. I find it sad to have to buy the sauce on the side when the whole soul of the dish is immersed in it. It’s still great work, frankly. It’s not easy to sit down to cut your fish. Add 2-3 tables you will make people happy

The food was ok but really very expensive. I paid the equivalent of €19 for a portion of fish & chips here. In addition, there is hardly any space to eat anywhere.

Very good Fish & Chips. Hearty plate but a little greasy.

Absolutely delicious all fresh fish I had grilled halibut fantastically cooked and my partner had chilli honey lightly glazed salmon so good

Great fish and chips - cod fillet with blue cheese sauce very nice and great service from Jurgita

Nice selection of fish, as you would expect. Service was OK, bit slow at times. Food was fine.

Gives you in a cardboard, very poor taste, chips are terrible, fries in the blackest and the most burned oil possible, no taste, and pricey. Everywhere in UK makes better fish and chips, most of them are cheaper.

I stopped by several spots in Borough Market in London recently and the food that stood out the most was the Fish & Chips with Cod from Fish! Kitchen. The cod was delicate and tender, breading thin and not oily, and overall a good balance. The fries were quite good as well. I think it's one of the best stalls in the market and I'd give it 8.8/10.

Love this place. Excellent fish, so fresh and delicious

Ordered the chip butty it was dry chips on 2 pieces of dry sourdough with no butter? If you can’t make a chip butty take it off the menu. Ended up dumping it and going across the way to get triple cook chips which were amazing.

If you’re in the mood for fish then this is the place to be! Enjoyable food. Great for a casual dinner out. Atmosphere: Buzzing atmosphere. A little bit of a tourist vibe with too many tables squashed in but that is to be expected when visiting borough market Food: Sourdough and butter: Nice for the table Fish soup starter: This was nice but not stand out. Probably wouldn’t order again but was pleasant. Thai fish cake: Friend really enjoyed these Cod and chips: Very nice. Good mushy peas. Salmon: nicely cooked Soft crab bun: Lots of flavour and juicy. Sticky toffee pudding: Sauce was way too runny on this. The sponge was very soft which I liked. However did just seem like it had been thrown in a microwave. Came incredibly quickly. I wouldn’t order next time as didn’t feel fresh.

First time visiting the UK and had to try the so called famous fish and chips. Tasteless blunt, only taste the beer nothing else. Quite expensive for such terrible food. Good service though
