Fryer's Delight in Camden

If you don’t accept cards, put a big sign outside the shop and don’t fool the clients.

I loved this place. It was like revisiting the 1970"s. Rock and chips were perfect.

Quick, no-frills food. Abundant. It's a shame that payment is only in cash which can put a foreigner in difficulty

Went there for lunch. Fresh fried haddock was tasty and perfectly fried. I think the place didn't change since the sixties. I recommend it

It was difficult that I could only use cash.

Beef drippings so tastier than cheap seed oil. Could be better like homemade sauces and peas.

Food was great - portion, tase - all was there all what you need after a long day

Best chips in London. And the team are very welcoming with kids.

Anything under 5* for this place is criminal. The food, the history, and the location of this place is legendary. It's a very welcoming place that has always been there for the locals and visitors alike. This is an independent business, everyone works extremely hard and deserves every praise they get. Fryer's Delight is always the best, don't believe the rest 😉🐟

Fresh fish, reasonable portion and price. I'm happy with that :)

The best fish and chips I've eaten so far, the crew is super nice and friendly.

Went at the end of November 2023-I don't think they fry in dripping anymore and I will not be coming back: fish was fairly thin and tasteless. DOES NOT take cards. Avoid the toilet.

Decent chips , cash only wink wink

If you're looking for a traditional and really good fish and chips with mushy peas in London, this is the place to go !

The food is ok... Not great. Just watch out they are cash only but don't have any signs saying that. When you get your bill they will be hostile about being cash only 🤷‍♂️

Good food, great price. They only allow to pay cash

Laughing that they accepted only cash for payment, so I took my custome elsewhere. With such bad attitude I cannot imagine this chip shop staying long after the present generation of unhappy staff retire.

The chips were precooked and then reheated in hot oil despite me arriving shortly after it opened. This made them very dry. Curry sauce saved the day!The sausage in batter was ok. This used to be a cracking chippy. I might have made my last visit. 😔

One of the oldest and original chip shops in London and much more original experience that getting food in a pub so I recommend for tourists also. Food was fresh cooked while we waited and was not and not greasy or fatty. Decor is what you expect from any proper chip shop in UK.

Fair price for cod &chip . one of those recent Chippies as you remember it. Just 2 guest , but 4 employees..waiter could have been more polite,sorry .food is great.wide range

A cute little diner-like place, great fish&chips and great prices

Classic old school fish and chip shop

The restaurant had a nostalgic atmosphere, and the old men who seemed to be friendly were there to serve us. We shared the haddock because it looked big, but it was so delicious that we probably could have added just the fish. I only had to pay in cash! So when I tried to go to the ATM because I didn't have enough cash on hand, they told me that euros would also be fine, so I mixed them up and paid. thank you very much.

Fun, funky hole in the wall. Pretty good fish and chips. Great service, nice folks, very traditional. Our second visit, because we loves our fish and chips. I must say, not as good as I remember it, but still quite tasty.

It’s gone downhill. Was a traditional haunt for cabbies and workers in the area. The chips were over cooked , bland and cold. The cod was too small, cold and soggy to justify £10.95. It is a shame as I wanted to go to a traditional chipie where everything is kept like it was since the 60s and 70s and they did a good job retaining the original features but the cod and chips was plain awful and overpriced. I nearly walked out.

It was delicious. It's been a while since I had fish and chips. I want to come again.

Typical address, beautiful, well-stocked plates, served quickly. Very good Gish ans chips in the 7.50 pounds, impeccable!👍👍

It is indeed a traditional fish bar. The furnitures and the ambience has been probably the same for years but don't judge before tasting the amazing fish! You can taste the freshness and the quality of the food served here! I would definitely come back, however, I have one thing to point out: they accept only cash so make sure to go prepared! And a feedback for the owners: it's about time to accept card payments ;) otherwise you might lose more and more customers!

Choose this instead of any other tourist trap fish and chips restaurants. Real local place, great food, but only a few tables to sit in, so it might be full

The chips I were given were re fride of some other customers left over, I know, they were different in appearance to other peoples chips; and I have worked in a restaurant who did dodgy things to food to know what they did! Disgusting!

I’m pretty sure they get their fish from Iceland in the frozen section… awful and tasteless . Do not recommend.

The Fryers Delight is known for being a special place for fish and chips, but our recent experience left much to be desired. We ordered two plaice and chips and two cod and chips, hoping for a classic, satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the overall taste was underwhelming. Both the plaice and cod were noticeably bland, lacking the fresh, flavorful punch that makes a good fish and chips meal so enjoyable. The batter on the fish was also too oily, leaving a greasy aftertaste that detracted from the experience. The chips, though adequately cooked, were equally lacking in flavor. While the service was efficient and the staff friendly, it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster quality of the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant enough, with its traditional decor and seating options, but the food simply didn't live up to the expectations set by its reputation. In summary, while The Fryers Delight may be known for its fish and chips, our visit was disappointing due to the bland, oily taste of the food. It's possible that this was an off day, but based on our experience, we wouldn't be in a rush to return.

I always used to stop off here for my tea back in the day but not been back for some time now the food was always well cooked and hot just how it should be would recommend as I'm fussy about my fish and chips .

Service was good and the place had an old timer vibe. Food was okay - was hoping for better based on other fish and chips we've had while in the UK.

Entering The Fryer's Delight feels like stepping into a nostalgic time capsule, with well-maintained Formica tables that evoke a bygone era. Upon deciding to dine in, I took a seat and perused the simple yet appealing menu, ultimately selecting the Cod from the variety of fish options available. The service was prompt and efficient, enhancing the overall experience. I opted to complement my meal with a side of mushy peas and liberally doused the fish and chips in vinegar and salt, resulting in a flavorful and satisfying meal. Unlike a previous experience elsewhere, the peas were served with warm which I much prefer. I would certainly revisit The Fryer's Delight on another trip to London. It's worth noting that they accept cash only, but there is an ATM conveniently located on the corner.

The fish and chips are very nice, but the toilets are quite the experience. You go through what appears to be a cupboard door next to the fryer, and are transported up an iron spiral staircase into a 1970s London squat. Whilst the toilet itself is clean, it's overall pretty squalid and if you can't make it up the steps and over the torn lino, you're best off sneaking into the pub over the road. Also it's not beef dripping (at least not when I went), it's palm oil, which is fine but not the same.

Probably, the Haddock fish and chips are fabulous as per UK's standards. As for me used to Vancouver 's Island Canada Fish and chips flavors, this one was tasteless. As I said, it is probably my taste. So even though I checked London Fish and Chip, I will not come back here. But if you like UK typical fish and chip, this place is probably for you. The pieces are huge.

Best chips in central London. Thanks!

We took take out from here and can highly recommend the haddock and cod really fresh and well prepared large filets of fish. Crispy chips as well. The chicken wasn't quite as good though, recommend sticking with the great fish! Great prices and terrific friendly service as well...

A tenner for fish&chips in the very centre of london with an authentic atmosphere and very kind staff

A nondescript looking store with earnest food and friendly service. Took the haddock based on the staff’s recommendation and a side of mushy peas. Very filling for 1 and many locals came for its takeaway, including the police for chips! Check it out if you are heading to the Charles Dickens Museum.

Fish and chips were great - ordered 3 kinds (cod, haddock and plaice). They were all freshly fried, light crispy batter, good chips/fries and delicious curry sauce (this is a must try!) CASH ONLY! We came here not realizing this. We already ordered and waited for our food when we asked this to make sure. The waiter let us know that we can pay in USD, we decided to give it a shot. They really were fair when charging with the currency exchange and thankfully we had exact change.

Honestly very disappointed with the fryer's Delight very poor quality food and was extremely disappointed to see not in there also quite expensive for fish and chips

Helpful server and really tasty food. The restroom stairs are really steep

As a tourist had to get fish and chips while in London. Didn't think too much of it other than it's a must do. It's just fried fish right? Well...I was wrong. This was by far the best fried fish I've ever had and I live in the South of the USA where we are no strangers to fish frying. Delicious. Had the Cod and the Haddock. I prefer haddock. The chips were...ok. The establishment is simple but that's what I like. No frills. Staff was great. Rated one of the best in london for a reason.

Fish was ok, perhaps slightly better than OK. Fries were quite oily and tasted old. The staff was actively disinterested. Tried it because of all the rave reviews. Wouldn’t recommend.

Not the best fish & chips (tried plaice & haddock) and you gotta pay for the mayo sauce. Nonetheless, overall food is cheap relatively. Good service and atmosphere (authentic cafe setting)

possibly not the best fish & chips but very nostalgic and I like that. The tartar sauce hardly deserves the name, it's a shame that the shop owners don't make the sauce themselves. All in all, a bit carelessly prepared but as I already mentioned, I like the shop and that's why I would come back.

I ordered a fish and chips. Fish came without any chips. Menu should be more clear also there was no chips option under sides.

Authentic fish and chips, fair prices and quick service. It is a historic place, some might call it Spartan but it is in fact authentic. It looks and is a 1950s London diner. It only does fish and chips, good fish and chips, fried fish is not for weak stomachs. To try!

Great food at affordable prices 👌

This place has been around for decades, a taste of London the way it used to be before fancy bistros and wine bars. Expect to step into 1960 when you enter. The fish-and-chips are, well, fish-and-chips.

We had a great lunch at this simple fish and chip café with it's Formica tables. The meal was delicious, The light batter on the fish was crispy, the portion was generous and the price to eat in very reasonable and cheaper to take away. We will definitely go there again when in London for a day out.

Amazing restaurant, especially being in Central London. Food was surprisingly very well priced and had great value. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some scrumptious fish & chips.

Ότι χειρότερο έχω φάει σε fish and chips

Finally a proper chipper in london.old school and great quality.good prices too for central london.thsnkfully not a kebab insight.

Durante il mio ultimo giorno a Londra ho voluto cercare un ristorante dove poter mangiare fish and chips e sono arrivata qui. Un locale davvero molto carino, piccolo, intimo e dall'aspetto vagamente retrò. Prezzi davvero accessibili. Personale disponibile e gentile, sono stata servita praticamente subito e il cibo era tutto buonissimo. Unica pecca accettano solo contanti. Consigliato per chi vuole gustarsi un autentico fish n chips londinese a pochi metri da Camden Town.

I think I use to here when I worked in Holborn in 1989, it was a great chip shop

Authentic British Fish and Chips at the center of London

In the ridiculously expensive world of central London, I just paid £1.60 for a coffee. Half, or under half what it would be elsewhere. You can get as snobby as you like, but to me this is really important. Straight good honest working people work here and serve you with a proper smile. It may not be the ultimate coffee and you get what you pay for, but I'm perfectly happy and I'll definitely come back here again. I hope this place stays around for as long as possible.

Traditional, no-nonsense fish and chips. Tastes great, and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes. 10/10

Old school with the requisite attitude, but oh my! those chips. You can taste the beef tallow right away and it makes a world of difference. Make sure you get a coke to cut the richness, cross yourself, and walk away.

Very good and authentic place suggested by locals for fish and chips. I was super happy about my choice and I had a great culinary experience. For sure not a fancy place but very typical and worth to try. Remember that’s cash only, pretty strange considering it’s London

This is an old school chippy. In fact, the decor has not changed in over 60 years! Frying done in beef fat adds to the nostalgia. Though the taste profile is subtle, it provides a wonderful base to add vinegar and salt to taste. Lots of locals, minimal tourists. Cash only but an ATM is literally steps away. I will definitely return!

Un incontournable du fish ans ships londonien

日本人なので、味が薄く感じました。醤油をかけたい気持ちをおさえて、テーブルの塩をかけました。内装がかわいらしく、店員もフレンドリーで、居心地の良いお店でした！

Expensive and poor quality. No card payment, cash only

Great food at a crazy cheap price

You're looking for a traditional fish and chips look no further probably the best fish and chip shop in London Town

Tasty fish and chips for a reasonable price and in a great location. Perfect after a visit to the british museum. The location was clean and staff were good. Only problem is that its cash only.

Calling all Irish in London, if you want the taste of home go here! The chips were crisp an outside and fluffy inside with that distinctive beef dripping fried taste. I have always found British fish and chips limp and soggy cooked in veg oil and tasteless. But here you don’t even need salt and vinegar. The chips taste amazing. The fish was delicious a little oily but we are not here for health! The sausage in batter was also crisp and the meat inside was good quality. Definitely coming back this week again! Taste of home! Brought me back to my childhood in dublin eating with my parents on a Saturday night. Good times

Just what you expect from a chippy. Good food at a fair price.

Good food, nothing fancy. The only problem is cash payment, but at least you can also pay in euros

Lovely authentic London chippy, serving great value food

The waitress are nice, the portions are big but the food was bland, has very little taste:(

I love everything about this place

Cheap lunch with fish and chips if that's your thing. Only cash place and don't ask for something to accommodate your tast. I found the fish fresh but the batter sogy. Chips were undercooked

Quite an old school type fish and chip shop with eat in. Food OK, but I've had better in pubs. Could do with better ventilation as my clothes smell of frying now. BE AWARE: CASH ONLY, no credit card facility.

One of the oldest and most authentic fish&chip shops in Holborn. Has a great atmosphere and decor like a time capsule from the 1970s. Great plaice 😁

So etwas von schlechtem Essen. Es stinkt alles fettig. Und die Toiletten nicht begehbar.

Not that great. I didn't like the food.

Not as good as others describe, I came here because of the story but it looks as if it's been bought out and sells cheap food. Fish was old - not fresh! I'm so disappointed as I wanted to really like this place.

Simple place, as a tourist I wanted to have fish and chips on my visit. The food was okay to good. The place does not accept credit cards, which was a huge bummer!

Best fish and chips I have ever had. Just make sure to take cash as it's cash only.

Fish and chips tasted as actual fish

Way too oily, would not eat it again :( But decent sized portion if you are hungry and don’t mind the oil

REALLY oily, would not eat it again. Rude staff. Don’t reccomend for a first time eating fish and chips.

Amazing old school fish and chip shop, reasonably priced for central London too

Establishment only takes cash (use it or lose it) great Fish n Chips, very friendly staff, fantastic service and very reasonable price for London.

Cons: Cash only! Pros: Fuss-free fish & chips, good price, nice waitress. Saw some reviews saying the fish was bland - in contrary I enjoyed that as you can adjust the taste with the condiments yourself! Great for people like me who find most food out there too salty.

Sale en la película Agente Stone Si puedo un día iré allí Que vaya muy bien!!!

Local muito desagradável. Funcionários portugueses muito rudes. Mesmo sabendo que tinham clientes com crianças no restaurante não foram capazes de respeitar e usaram constantemente palavrões. Gozavam em português os clientes. E de algum modo sentiram se incomodados por terem clientes portugueses, da cidade do Porto. Experiência horrível. Não recomendável, sobretudo a quem compreende português.

Very unpleasant place. Very rude Portuguese staff. Even though they knew there were portuguese customers with children in the restaurant, they were unable to respect them and constantly used swear words. The staff made fun of customers in Portuguese, who were incapable of understanding what they were saying. And somehow they felt uncomfortable having Portuguese customers, from the city of Porto. Horrible experience. Not recommended, especially for those who understand Portuguese.

Great traditional fish and chips, cooked in dripping. Fish cooked fresh to order Will be back soon

La comida es excelente. El pescado es fresco, freído en el momento al igual que las papas que son súper crujientes. Todo en manteca de cerdo, no utilizan aceites vegetales para la fritura lo cual le da un sabor muy particular. El mushy peas hay que pedirlo, muy sabroso. El sitio no tiene prácticamente decoración alguna, es lo que hay; en mi caso prefiero buena comida en un sitio regular; que al revés (que es algo que ahora abunda; sitios decorados de primera categoría y comida congelada recalentada). Volvería. *Solo pago en efectivo, no tarjeta/contacless.

Simpel maar uitstekend eten in een klein authentieke ambiance

Best in class! Brilliant chippy!

Nice food. Cod was good. Restaurant was clean and people were friendly.

Great Fish n Chips. Was used in the Movie, Heart of Stone 2023

I'm so glad you guys got a scene in Netflix!! Congrats!!
