Fishcotheque in City of London, Westminster

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!).

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Price-performance is right. Portions very large.

They only accept cash, and they say the credit card machine is broken and dishonest. If you use Euros, you will have to pay extra.

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

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

Great service. Payment only in cash but they informed you immediately upon entry. Traditional Fish and Chips!

I had one of the worst experiences ever. The food quality was poor. I was in London for tourism, and I visited this place considering the reviews and proximity to my location. I ordered cod fish cakes with chips. The fish cakes were just eatable. The chips were soggy and had really bad taste. The waitress was arrogant and had very bad manners. I had a bit of a sore throat on that day and requested her to remove some ice from my glass (that was more than half-filled with ice) for my drink. And she started to act weird as if I had asked for her kidney. She just put the glass, removing some ice on my table with a shattering sound, and rushed away, giving me a nasty look. I was really pissed as I had never experienced such behavior before at a restaurant. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant and using your money somewhere reasonable for better food and services.

Fish was fresh and tasty would recommend to anyone who wants the proper cod and chips experience,very friendly staff

Ugh, the fish & chips, delicious, the best I've ever had, the place is small but cozy, the waiters are very friendly, the burgers are good but the best is the F&C, I highly recommend it, it's worth it, I do I'll be back... the only thing was that it doesn't have beer

I got cod and chips takeaway it was very expensive the batter was very dry and over cooked to the point where the cod was stuck to the takeaway box and for the price of it they should be bit more generous on the size of the chips what comes with it and cod should be freshly cooked

Very friendly staff and fresh fish-staff was very warm and welcoming and the food was on point can’t find any better elsewhere

We overheard a local bus driver telling another tourist about this place. He said it was high quality and authentic fish & chips, just the type of experience we were looking for. We were staying across town, but easily navigated via the tube. This place is just off the Waterloo station. Food was fresh and delicious, offering several different types of fish. We highly recommend stopping.

Great burger, excellent chips. Elvis music was soothing.

Locale piccolino, con servizio al tavolo gentile. Corrispondeva alle descrizioni lette su tripadvisor Abbiamo preso un piatto con un mix di fisch and chips che era buono e degli hamburger. Tutto molto buono e non costoso. ps: non servono alcolici

Fish and Chips okay, allowed only to go because of our dog. --although perfectly trained. Experience was therefore not too good having to eat it by the road. Ambiance inside feels like a canteen, anyway.

The fish was good but we found it to be quite expensive for the same quality and quantity you can find in London. There is a mandatory service charge which you won't find out till you see the bill. And they offered to waive service charge if you pay in cash 🤷‍♀️ so in the end you are probably just helping them to pay their card service fees.

Quick service and very good meal

Delicious and extremely fresh Cod fish with the side of perfectly crispy chips. Could not ask for better flavor. Loved it! Definitely a must try for an authentic London fish and chips experience.

Delicious fish and chips. They have used real potatoes! Fish with a good batter (not oily or greasy).

Hugely disappointing, considering its reputation. This fish was dry and over cooked; the same could be said for the chips. The portion was very small for the price. Poor table service

My experience was so wonderful i cant wait to go back, everything is nice. 170%

Super economical for London, close to the tourist sector, abundant and tasty food. Good attention. I definitely recommend it

Food was good but they had a mandatory 12.5% service fee which was a bit ridiculous considering the server spoke to us twice with subpar customer service. £25 all up for one serve of fish & chips plus curry sauce....

Delicious fish and chips, very attractive restaurant with Elvis music in the background. Very nice employees.

Tasty food and really good mood

A small shop located next to Waterloo Station. We just try out the Cod Traditional fish and chips, nice food and speedy service. Recommend to visitors!

It was very delicious and Michael was very helpful so therefore I decided to come again very friendly staff top quality food highly recommend.

Authentic fish and ships restaurant, very authentic place

Overated place. Fried cod had crispy batter but fish inside was very dry which means the fish was not very fresh. Chips had very bland taste. By the way, what serious fish and chips joins would use the Heinz sauce rather than a home made sauce??!!

Good food, nice staff and very cozy enviroment, good music, not to loud, everything great 🫶

Awesome eating! Definitely recommend hitting this place up if you’re close

If you haven't ever been here you're missing out. This has been a family favourite since forever.

Very cozy and fresh fish, I recommend the famous fish and chips, typical London food, do not hesitate to enter

Good address discovered by chance. We eat very good fish and chips there. Good and generous. The price is very reasonable.

really enjoyed food here w my parents, first time eating fish n chips in uk and i recommend this restaurant

Lovely fish and chips shop. Great service every time I visit. Food is always made fresh to order and nice large portions. Worth every penny. Best chippy in town

The clerk was very kind and polite! There was a clerk who loved Japan and was very kind. The fish and chips were also very filling, the potatoes were big and fluffy, and the fish was fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, so it was very delicious😋 It was a very good shop, so I want to go there again when I go to London! !

Chunky chips and good size portions.

Nice little, quaint restaurant where you can eat good fish & chips. The service is good, which is also listed separately on the bill as a hidden fee of 12.5 percent. With the additional tip paid, a lot is added to the final total.

It was so delicious! I want to eat it again the next time I'm in England!

Last meal in London before flying back, pricey side but definitely a good meal nearby after walking around for lunch! Cod fish & chips were great!

This is a good restaurant to eat fish and chips in London.

A very delicious place to eat, and they serve a lot 🥴

It was very delicious. It's a nice store with friendly staff.

You can definitely eat delicious fish here. This authentic little restaurant serves all sorts of fish dishes at reasonable prices. This thing is definitely not just a tourist shed and the operation is quick. Fish and chips were delicious and the side of fries was definitely the biggest I've ever seen anywhere. I can recommend it!

The meal was very delicious! Although I haven't eaten fish and chips at many restaurants, I really won't be disappointed if I come here. The fish is very tender and the salad is very delicious. If you are tired of the French fries, just add some salt and it will be much better. The store clerk is also very friendly, which is a small blessing today. The whole store has a warm atmosphere. It is a highly recommended store.

The best fish & chips in all of London! Super friendly and attentive staff! 100% recommended!!!

Home to review No kindness Decent Fish & Chips About £42 for 2

Tourist rip-off! If there are four of you who want to eat there, you have to order at least two main courses. One main course and three side dishes is not allowed. And that in an almost empty restaurant. We left again.

We should have run away when we saw how dirty everything is, the prices and that they didn't have beer, but we got excited thinking that the food would be worth it, but it wasn't like that. The drinks are not cold, most of the dish is frozen potatoes, the fish is crispy but bland, with nothing that stands out. A fortune for a basic dinner in a place without the slightest charm.

The restaurant has more of a snack bar feel. Very tasty fish; big portion; the first chips I tasted in London. We ordered 3 soft drinks 2x cod & chips & 1x calamari rings with chips and salad approx. 84€ (71£)

Nice Fish and Chips. Overpriced. But I guess its for Tourists. Neutral service. Waiter never asked during meal is Everything ok? Which I thought was the Norms.

The food was very delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy. They play very good music and it's cheap for how close it is to the tourist area.

I’d read the reviews but I’m always skeptical in areas with tourist attractions close by, ordered Cod, chips and curry sauce to share with my daughter. Good portion sizes and my daughter was ‘wow, how is this place only a 4.4! The fish was fresh cooked and the batter was fantastic, the curry sauce was her favorite! Chips were great!

Pleasant music, fresh fish, fast and friendly service. Good price.

A cozy place with good seventies music. We had fish & chips for dinner: 2 "cod medium" with potatoes for 2 children (huge portions) and a "haddok large", also with potatoes, for 2 adults. 2 soft drinks and water for £69. All very rich.

Really very rude staff, we asked for water and struggled to get it. Atrocious fries. To flee.

The best Haddock and chips I’ve ever eaten. You shouldn’t miss if you’re in London. They also serve a great mix salad. I strongly recommend.

Great fish and chips restaurant that opens quite late. They only had two of the four types of fish left when we went there but it was really delicious!

Bland but apparently British food is known for that. I ordered Cod and it was not use to Cod tasting so fishy. Perhaps I was served the wrong fish and chips. Staff was okay but the atmosphere was pretty neat.

Hidden fish&chips gem in Waterloo! The atmosphere was amazing as well! I know where to come if I want to have fish&chips around Waterloo!

Really great fresh fish and chips. One of the best we’ve had! The cod burger was lovely too 👌

Great service, good fish and chips, and the best apple pie I’ve EVER had.

Chip shop that doesn't sell a portion of chips

Alright. The food was good and the service was great. The price for takeout is different from that for consumption at the premises. It is a small and cozy place. 3 dishes and 2 drinks £65. About 80 euros. I leave photos of the menu and prices

Good tradition fish and chips. Freshly fried and good portions. Only minus is the Tatar sauce is not homemade.

First time I ever tried real Fish and Chips, it was great. The fish was excellent but the chips could be better imo

Great I recommend Too bad about the fries but otherwise The fish very good

Perfect place for Fish and Chips around Waterloo.

Well what can I say, I mean going by their rating I was expecting it to be pretty good, but my actual experience surpassed that by a mile.!! Had a short wait while my takeaway order was cooked fresh. Nice cardboard box packaging, I like the newspaper design on it. Sturdy enough to keep the contents protected too. Onto those contents - WOW, in a word. Lovely crisp batter, nice and light, not greasy and stodgy at all, with just that tiny bit of softness on its inner where it contacts the fish, absorbing just a little of the natural fish oils, resulting in a wonderful taste that I can't really find the words to describe.! The cod itself: tasted incredible, good thick piece of fish, nice white flakes, very fresh, and cooked to perfection.! Chips: they only use maris piper - perfectly cooked, nice crisp outer and soft inside. Consistent too, no black bits or burnt chips at all. Overall a stunning meal, I can see why it's rated so highly. Good portion sizes, perfectly cooked, top quality ingredients. I will definitely be back.!!
