Fishcotheque in City of London, Westminster

Had to visit this place for authentic English fish and chips. It was completely worth it and the staff were great. I ordered cod and chips to go and was not disappointed. The fish was crunchy and flaky with golden brown fried chips to complement. With tartar sauce on my cod and malt vinegar with salt on my chips along with a glass of Guinness, thank you guys for I was in gastro-heaven. Please come and open in NYC. We definitely need a true English fish and chips place.

Best fish and chips I've ever had

Highly recommended this place, we shared a large haddock and chips bread and butter mushy peas, and apple pie and ice cream, plenty for two oh and tea .

After a day of exploring London my family and I decided to try some traditional fish and chips. This restaurant was highly recommended so we decided to check it out and it was a 5 minute walk from London Eye. The service was excellent. The portions are great. There were 3 of us and we tried the cod, rock, and haddock. All 3 were amazing. The owner took time out of his schedule and conversed with us. Definitely a great experience and if we have time we will visit again

Special shop, very nice fish and chips, fast and polite service

Food was very delicious, dessert was perfect! Hospitality also was amazing! My best fiend and I really loved there. Don’t waste your time for searching another fish and chips restaurants. Come and taste fish and chips at Fishcotheque!

Great food, good portion for the price. Hidden service fee of 12.5%!

Except for food, all other things are good. Excellent service, but food definitely overrated.

The food and the hospitality is more than the best ! Get your fish and chips from here ! 100% recommendation:)

Very authentic fish and chips restaurant. It doesn’t get much better than this if I’m being honest, great service all round and once again delicious food

fish wasn't fresh, wouldn't reccomend

I got really, really fresh cod and a simple salad. Normally I would give it 5*, but there was no homemade Tatra sauce (it was Heinz) and dressing for the salad. Unfortunately they cannot serve beer. Despite this, I really recommend it. I like such simple atmosphere.

A delicious, quality Fish & Chips, an essential visit, and ideal for lunch or dinner before or after going up to the London Eye, which is a 10-minute walk away.

Delicious fish&chips. For takeout and also to dine in. Lovely atmosphere and staff.

nice restaurant with smiles ,greetings from izmir

I have been to this restaurant many times over the years. I had fish and chips with apple pie and tap water cost £25. The chips and apple pie was ok but the fish had a rubbery texture, It was absolutely horrendous. When I paid the bill I was asked everything ok ? If I am asked I will always tell what I think. The reply I got was I will tell the chef. So I paid £25 for a horrible rubbery fish small chips and a sad apple pie. No apologies just "I will tell the chef" last time I visit this place. Tasted like frozen fish over cooked. Even thinking about it makes me feel ill.

A great fish and chips restaurant. The taste of food made by a food service master It's a shame there's no beer

Fresh fish and top friendly service Food 10/10 I would highly recommend this Fish and Chip shop. Will defo be coming back again!!

I often come to Fishcotechque whenever I'm in the area - I've taken family and friends here too on many occasions! Yummy food every time and a lovely atmosphere! Thank you!

The food was absolutely nothing remarkable. The fish and chips had the same oily taste, perhaps even fried in the same pot. The restaurant didn't seem particularly clean and the table felt sticky. All in all, I can NOT recommend the location, especially since it was very expensive for simple fish and chips.

price was up to £18 for a main course, a little be expensive but flavour is good

Authentic shop, good food and large portions. recommended

CB terminal did not work or in any case painful but for the rest good.👍

Best chips I've had in years. Perfect crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Very good restaurant, very welcoming.

Super good restaurant, I recommend it

When in London … and looking for a yummy serving of Fish and Chips… Fishcotheque is a must! Traveling with friends…. 2 moms were out on a mission to feed their hungry kiddos… and that we did! We had a very generous serving of tasty fish and chips! And by serving…. So much food for the price!! Our bellies were so full. A cozy little restaurant with fast service, and hot delicious food! We do not always leave a restaurant with all of the kids satisfied… but this place hit the spot for everyone. Would definitely come again!

Fishcotech, not as good as Golden Union

We walked past here one evening and saw how busy they were so decided to pop in for tea the following evening and it did not disappoint. Food was excellent and service spot on… definitely recommend a visit and will definitely return when back in the area.

Delicious fish and chips! Great service! Highly recommend!

I came here with a friend, very welcoming, beyond friendly. We ordered fish & chips, came with salt and vinegar. DE-LISH-US.

Nice casual atmosphere, friendly waitstaff, and the best fried cod I've ever tasted. Not to be missed! We ended up here by chance on our first night in London, and I can't imagine a better start to a trip. Thank you, Fishcoteque!

Hands down, the best fish and chips in London. The cod is not frozen is fresh. The chips is fresh. Staff is very friendly:)

From the moment we walked in, we heard customers complimenting the food and the service! Really friendly staff and an excellent meal, proper traditional fish and chips.

Good quality food quickly presented with efficient service. Seated very quickly and order taken as soon as I was ready.

Marvellous, absolutely same taste I tried this lovely restaurant long time ago still same which is quite important This restaurant is different than normal fish and chips shop and makes you feel in a posh restaurant I just loved it again I would like to say thank you from here to staff Everything was perfect Definitely recommend to everyone Thanks

The south bank has plenty of underwhelming chain restaurants to choose from, but if you venture just a few minutes away from the riverside this unassuming chippy is a hidden gem. Top class fish, excellent chips.

I haven't eaten but always looks busy i get to takeaway Food always fresh and hot.

Fenomenal Fish and chips, además pedí la empanada de riñones y es increíble de rica. Servicio rápido y amable. Muy lleno siempre.

If you are into spending almost 20£ on dry cod waiting for 20 minutes for the wrong side order, and then for another 10 for the right side order (a salad in my case) only to find it 25% onion, this is your thing, go for it

Very well fried fish and chips. Had the cod. Non-alcoholic drinks only.

Small authentic eatery, really good fish & chips

Hands down, the best fish n chips I have ever had. After visiting London for the third time, this may have been the 20th fish and chips place that I tried. It blew our socks off, and as a sailor and fisherman I recognized the unparalleled freshness we experienced. After speaking with the staff, they explained that every morning at dawn they go to a local market to visit a family fisherman and source the best quality, freshest fish. The portion is generous, the chips (wedge style fries) are delish, and the family that owns this spot is kind and quality oriented. If you go to London and are looking for the best fish and chips, go to this unassuming spot and walk in the door with a smile. It’s one of those you have just got to try.

It smells bad outside on the street but 10 points inside

Awesome food, quick service, nice staff, cool musoc. Thanks for the experience.

Nice place, very friendly and full plate of fish and chips!

Best fish and chips ever! Cheap, convenient, and nice atmosphere. Located just a few steps to the underground Waterloo under the bridge. It is a small place but very cozy and the service of the waiters is excellent. They also offer takeaway, and preferably, the payment is with cash, even though they also accept credit cards.

We were more than satisfied with the the fish & chips. The beautiful white fish was breaded and cooked to PREFECTION ,not to mention the salad was spot on . LOOK NO FURTHER 100 %

Tasty food and great atmosphere i liked it

They don't lie about being the second best rated place in London..food, ambiance, and service were all impeccable. Definitely on the higher price for the size of the shop, but the portions make up for it. Would recommend.

Other than their HEINZ tartare sauce, everything else was great

Brilliant chippy tea. Perfect portion size too

My 2nd attempt to get to grips with fish & chips.And here I finally wasn't disappointed😊super tasty, also the beef burger.One of the employees even knew a few sentences of German because his daughter lives in Germany.By the way, kind regards from the visitors Nähr Hannover😅 😊

Although an historic place, food is still great. A bit pricy, though.

highly recommended very tasty food

Very tasty fresh fish and also crispy potatoes, we came all the way from Singapore highly recommended

Didn’t get to have any of the food because they were super rude because I asked for the fish to be skinless they use frozen fish and not fresh

Authentic, very tasty, nice staff = only recommended 👍

Kept giving these folks another chance but each time it's been a 10 minute wait for chips (??) That would be okay but everyone who's worked in a chippy knows it's courtesy to inform the customer if it's more than a 5 min wait. You're better off popping down the road to Lee's on Lambeth Walk.

Our first fish & chips in London was delicious, accompanied by squid rings. Very good attention from Talita. I loved the music. They accept Cash. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Alric who offer us the large cod fish and chips. The portion size was great and the fish and chips both fried crispy and cooked to perfection. Fish was tender and juicy. Plus good service from the friendly and warm staff. Would highly recommend.

A little bit more expensive than other fish and chip shop, which have better tasting fish. Fast service tho.

I had my first fish and chips here and it was better than I expected. The fish was crispy and moist, but the potatoes weren't too greasy, so it was a good combination. Although the tartare was a ready-made product, I was satisfied because the cola was cheaper than other stores. Plus, the interior had a very British feel and was very pretty.

The place doesn't look like much, but the food was really good and the portions large. We had fish and chips.

I’m so full. I’m really satisfied. I’ve never had fishandchip like this🥹🥹 ⭐️⭐️😍😍

Food was good and freshly made. Unfortunately the drinks come in plastic bottles, there is no beer. Service was nice and sought conversation, just like the gentlemen in the kitchen, but everything was fine. The interior of the restaurant is a bit dark, as there are only 1-2 windows on the street side and the restaurant is darkly tiled. Since it's a small restaurant with an open kitchen, the grease from the deep fryers gets everywhere you look, which unfortunately I didn't like that much.

Solid fish & chip shop near Waterloo Stn. Enormous amount of fries, decent cod. Good sausage.

We ordered cod & chips. The fish was fried extremely greasy, you could hardly eat it. The fries were good. The waiter was very pushy and barely gave us time to decide on a dish. Seemed unfriendly to me. We definitely won't eat here again.

100% traditional, i confirm. fishes served are huge! I loved the place: decoration and the music selection , the waiter is nice with tourists. I recommend. Great place to go for a good fish and chips. 👍

Great restaurant! We had just arrived in London and were very well looked after by Talita who introduced us to the menu and recommended the famous Fish n Ships! Delicious food and phenomenal treatment!

Amazing people. The food is also amazing. My bill was above 50 pounds and they asked me to pay 50 pounds only. The only thing I wish it was different is the tartar sauce I wish it was made in house not Hienes., it will be so good cuz they make one of the best fish and chips in London.

Good fish and chips in a curious and pleasant place. It is worth moving a little away from the most touristy area.

excellent food and customer service!

Very nice waiter and chef, Nick is the best. He helped us with choosing our food.

Very tasty and clean atmosphere. The staff are very friendly. When I told them I was visiting from Korea, they greeted me warmly in Korean. If I go to London again, I would like to visit.

Wonderful fish & chips, a good serving size with chips. The place is small, quaint and has a great atmosphere. We also had the calamari rings & chips and the fried chicken. I would stay away from the fried chicken. The fried items wete a little extra greasy, but, it is literally deep fried in oil! You might want to stay away from the fried. My son said it tasted like it was boiled and then fried. Everything else was good. Including the portions. A must stop while in London!

They charge you extra (see ticket). A 12.5%!!! Maybe because we paid with card? I don't know. I may not be the smartest person in the world, but we were treated just bad. Not friendly, not nice... Just as if we were not welcome there. The fish was nice though, but having in mind that prices to eat in are more expensive than prices to take away (these are the prices you see outside), and you get an extra for staying in, plus the 12,5% in the bill because "this is it"... And the extra of "not feeling welcome"? I wouldn't recommend it even to my mother in law. Stay away from this "legal" scam.

The food was good, the service was good. HOWEVER the sign outside said Fish and Chips £12.95 so we went in. The menu price was £16.95. I do understand there is an eat in service fee. And that’s fine BUT when paying the bill, we were charged another separate service fee of £2.95. So basically we just paid £20. The fish were moderate pieces and some of our group had quite smaller than others. Definitely not the size we’d get elsewhere. Not worth £20.

Really good fish and chips. Fries tasted really good, I guess it’s fried together with the fish.

This eatery is a hidden gem in London. Anyone going to the London Eye, or anywhere near there should most definitely stop in for some of the freshest, most delectable fish and chips in the city. Flakey and moist on the inside, and golden and crispy on the outside, this perfectly prepared Cod came with a generous serving of delicious chips that were also perfectly cooked. The family that own and run this restaurant could not have been more welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our waitperson, Kaan gave us good suggestions. He made us feel so welcomed, and checked on us throughout our meal. I have dined at many places around the world , and this simple, unpretentious little restaurant that does what it does do well and with pride, impressed me very much. If I lived here I would most definitely frequent this place often. So go and enjoy the fantastic fish chips for lunch or dinner, and for the friendly service. I thank you for the delicious meal and wonderful experience.

Best fish and chips I've ever eaten anywhere. The chips were unusually good.

Very small and cozy restaurant. The service was excellent and very friendly. The food is totally fresh and very tasty. That's exactly how you want it. I would come back at any time!

Found this amazing fish & chips restaurant on Google. We walked in and felt at home immediately. The waiter Kaan is so friendly and helpful. He couldn’t have been nicer—he steered us to their cod fish & chips which were the best I’ve ever had. The fish was so fresh, the fries were delicious and all right out of the fryer. It’s clearly a family owned establishment as they are so enthusiastic to make it a wonderful experience. We left knowing that we would definitely be back.

Great food and we were served by a very attentive Brazilian.

Very inconspicuous place from the outside. Fish and chips is recommended

Delicious fish and chips, which a big portion - we had enough for two! But I recommend taking them to go for a better quality-price ratio (they're more expensive to eat in, and chips are made for take-away anyways!).

Went there after seeing a video about the best fish & chips in London...well, it was a big disappointment...not great, not bad, just ok. One thing that was very different was the price ! Fish &chips in the video was £12.95...we paid £17.95 ! Plus, on top of this, there was a 12.5% service fee...not happy.

Very nice restaurant. Staff was very nice, card payment not possible, but were able to pay in euro

Best fish&chips i had during my visit to london. The staff are also very friendly, had a good conversation with the owner and chef. Both very friendly and good people. Definitely recommend, also special thanks to Chef Ender!

The food was amazing, portion size was great value for money, I would highly recommend to come and dine in, lovely service and a very clean atmosphere.

The food is amazing I will recommend to try it out, the staff was very friendly, the restaurant was busy but the staff did there job amazingly well service on time, its the best fish and chips i have ever eaten,big portion worth the money thank you to the chef and staff members.

Nice place, friendly enough staff. Food was enjoyable enough but wasn't the best fish and chips I've had, small piece of fish and a little greasy.

The fish & ships was very good, portions big but the prices are exceedingly high

The food was very delicious and they treated us great. They also gave us some food that they had left over since they were going to close.

Small, diner like fish and chips shop with additional items on the menu if that’s not your jam. I got the medium (only size) fried cod and chips. The portion was huge! The fish was flaky, the breading crisp and tasty. It was so filling I only had a handful of the chips but they were all good, fried to perfection and cut so they were “meaty” but not too thick. Everyone working the Saturday night I stopped in was very pleasant. If I’m back in London and on Waterloo I would absolutely return.

This restaurant offers fish and chips, and small other local favorites. We both had the fried cod. The fish was not greasy! The chips (fries) were good as well. The staff were friendly and had no problem with all our questions about the four different types of fish. This is the real deal old time chip shop. We really enjoyed our meals. The restaurant is located under the train overpass. Take the tube to Waterloo and walk a block.

I had two friends from abroad visiting us in London, so I wanted to show them a real fish and chips experience. Based on the reviews, I really thought this was the place to be. It was actually very disappointing. 1) The chips smelled like old oil. None of us could finish them. 2) Instead of traditional vinegar, they have bottles of artificial citric acid. No taste or smell. 3) The tartar sauce isn't made in-house; instead, you squeeze it out of a tube. Looks and tastes more like mayonnaise than tartar sauce. 4) No mushy peas on the side - you have to buy them separately. It wouldn't be a problem if the main dish wasn't already so expensive. 5) Fish & Chips usually goes for between £13.95 and £16.95 in London, but here it's £19.95. The fish was okay, but nothing special. I'm convinced any proper restaurant along the river would have made a much better Fish & Chips experience than this place. BTW, it's not a proper restaurant; it's a high-end chip shop. The server suggested we drink from the coke bottles provided instead of offering glasses. And they charge a service fee too for this kind of service and food. Insane, really.

Price-performance is right. Portions very large.

Best fish and chips l have ever eaten,Fresly cooked cod and chips.l will recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good fish and chips

Very good traditionnal british restaurant. We recommend it. Well done guys.
