Gilders Fish Bar in Kingston upon Thames

I'll let you all in on a secret, if you buy a battered sausage with chips separately, most times you get some extra chips.

We were in Chessington for the Theme Park and decided to visit here on the way home, the fish and chips were amazing.

We have used this fish n chip shop for a very long time and in the past been very satisfied. I dont know whats happening but the last couple of times we have got a take away the chips have been awful. We put it down to maybe just a one off and would try again give the beneifit of the doubt but this is now the 3rd time with recooked or reheated up chips from lunch time or even the night before. We have been very dissatisfied and at nearly £20 for 2 small fish and 1 chips im afraid to say we wont be using this chippy anymore.

Best fish and chips within 5 mile radius by a mile. Really fresh, there is always a wait but that's a good thing in terms of quality. The fish is actually as described (eg, north atlantic white fish is actually north atlantic white fish, and not basa or cheaper rubbish). Sides reasonable and portions are very generous. We drive here even though it's further than others, because it's worth it.

Absolutely Amazing , tasty , crispy cod with fat chippy chips. Uncle Ali and staff are very hospitable allowed us to eat in ! Fresh made to order cod and chips ! Not too greasy and just delicious. The lady Ozgur who served us was very welcoming and polite. Good customer service

I've ordered cod and chips loads of times here, they never disappoint! :-)

Very good food very authentic and dtuck to its roots will be recommending and returning very soon

Consistently good quality, good sized portions, and great service.

One of the rare places where you can enjoy eating fish😋

Most food freshly cooked, hence service a bit slow.

Amazing chips. Large portion sizes. About average priced.

Gilders place is a cosy small place for mainly take out the lobby is not too design for eat in. it is mostly take out orders abd it is prepared to serve. If you are in haste then this place is not an option. unlike the name bar, alcohol is not served here. The lobby is neat and you may have to spend up to 10 pounds before you can be allowed a card transaction otherwise its cash.

Great quality shop. Helpful friendly owners

Amazing chips. Very clean shop and a nice guy serving . HAPPY DAYS

I can’t upload a photo as there are access issues but the chips I got today are not fresh. They taste like they’ve been recooked from old chips nobody wanted. I used to live nearby and get chips from here all the time, which were nice when the previous owners ran it. I’m getting fed up of paying out more money everywhere, for less value. I don’t like giving negative reviews on small businesses but either these weren’t fresh, or were old chips recooked, or overcooked and not fresh but they were hard and stale so I think as a chip shop, the chips should be a priority. I won’t be going back here. Stop ripping off customers and provide a decent product!

Never had a bad fish and chips from here always outstanding 👌

As usual yummy fish 🐟 chips 🍟 thank you

Chips nice not oily and friendly staff also do other food to price resonable

Lovely food had quite a wait despite no queue infront of me...

Great fish shop lovely helpful staff. The food is really nice and fresh.. I am a regular customer to this family run chip shop

Used this Fish and chip shop a couple of times after it was recommended and I haven’t been disappointed

First visit and only one thing let the fish down Why put grease proof paper under the fish as it just was all soggy and stuck to the fish Batter on the top lovely and crispy but all soggy underneath Chips were good you got a lot and staff were lovely

Love the batter here, chips are fab too

Great fish and chips Friendly staff

Wow just wow, all I can say is amazing service, amazing food and two lovely older gents working the counter, I'll definitely be ordering from them again

Service is always good & quick. Food is good and portion sizes are large. I would recommend & I will be going back.

The staff were kind, professional, and polite and the facilities were sparkling! This place is cleaner than most eat-in restaurants I've used. They're not even local to me but I'm coming back someday

New owners and boy old boy, It’s the BEST Fish and Chips we have had. The fish is always perfect with flavour, The chips are amazing. Portion sizes are good. This business will do very well if they continue to provide food of such quality!!! We treat ourselves from here most Fridays now. Excellent.

I brought 2 pies & one bag of chips On getting home, the food was put onto plates only to realise the pies were cold I called the shop to be told “you can come back for a replacement” The lady then said the warmer must of been turned off by mistake Awful service Cold food and I would not go bank

Delicious chips, I usually go for sausage chips & curry sauce. They never disappoint & have good sized portions

Always great service lovely staff and great food freshly prepared 😀

Best in chessington! Not a rip off, chips were great, fish cooked fresh and put separately to the chips so they didn't go soggy, giant mushy peas, I always get my pooch a savaloy and she said it was top!

Smiley staff, clean and delicious options. Never miss that small bar if you are hungry 😉

I have eaten at every fish n chipper in Surrey and plenty around the UK & I can honestly say the cod n chips here are in the top 5 I've had anywhere.... the chips are easily the best anywhere within a 50 mile radius I challenge anyone to prove me wrong

Today I went for my lunch! Don't know what to eat Lovely lady suggested a chicken fillet burger 🍔 I just LOVE IT! It's the huge and best ever burger I had! Thank you 😊

Really fantastic fish and chips

Visited here yesterday for the first time. Really lovely people, very friendly and great food. Portion sizes very good. Food hot and cooked to order. Didn’t take long. Super service. Good prices. Sell curry rolls which is a real bonus as nowhere seems to sell these anymore. Doggy loved her sausages too! Highly recommended and will certainly visit again. Thank you,

Well cooked and good value. A great fish n chips shop.

Fish cook while you wait good quality

Excellent fish and chips, excellent service, good price too, cod is served without skin! The place is clean and bright, it's a personal thing but I think that this is the best round here.

Beautifully crafted fish and chips. Seaside quality, the way it's meant to be.

This is a great old fashioned fish and chips bar. Everything they cook when ordered and the chips are proper chunky chips. Great food and well worth the wait x

Still my favourite chippy in Chessington. I think they cook the food fresh for your order rather than have stuff pre-cooked but it is worth the wait.

Fantastic fish and chips, probably the nicest chips we’ve had in years.

Fantastic chips, best all year, well happy. Not cheap but quality.

Our 3rd time ordering from here. Lovely fish & the chips are the best . A good sized portion every time. 😋

First class good service really fresh cooked to order very clean following all covid advice well done.

Staff where very polite and friendly. I asked for a small Cod and Steak and Kidney pie. I was very surprised even at the side of there small cod as it was massive. Had a great meal from them. Fully recommend this great place. Thanks.

Nice fish here and the staff are good too.

Always freshly cooked and delicious x

Beautifull fish and chips lovely treat recommend this fish bar

Lovely food large portions staff very polite All round good experience plus the food is cooked while you wait

Very disappointed with the size of the large fish, very small for large. Ordered large fish/ chips circa £10.00.Basically ended up with a big bag of chips. The wife & I have feel with have been stitched up like a kipper, Will will only order pies in future. 16/10/2020 We have just enjoyed the best pie & chips in a long while. The pies were delicious & full from bottom to top with meat. The chips crispy on the outside & soft inside.The sausage in batter was just as delicious which we shared. A superb, filling & delicious meal. Thanks Kevin

Always friendly staff, freshly cooked fish, mostly crispy chips ..what's not to like

Lovely fish n chips very fresh,taste better than it used to taste before lovely staff With great service I pop in today for the second time lovely lady over the fryer fry my fish so perfect Exactly what I was expecting and want it to be crispy battered and very meaty fish even there cod bites really tasty the gentlemen over the counter wrapped my food so clean,tidy with so much care thank u guys your fish and chips It’s just so tasty amazing you’re my local chippy from now on thank u..

Excellent quality in food and efficient service at a great price!

I am very fussy when it comes to fish and chips and especially where it comes from . So being in lockdown and now not getting out as much as I'd like I turned to uber eats and I fancied cod and chips.. so i saw Gilders come up.. i have never had fish from there before but i thought I would give it a go. I ordered a small cod and small chips. It arrived quickly and was nice and hot but far from small.. was a lovely good size cod and the chips were the best by far that I had in a long time.. crispy on the outside fluffy inside.. the cod was amazing nicely cooked not greasy just perfect. I would highly recommend them and I will be getting my fish and chips from here from now on .

Used to be good but starting to go downhill abit.

First time there, very nice & skinless cod! Thank you

Fresh cooked fish number 1 in the area

Best chippy for miles by a mile!

Great service, great portion size. Chips were lovely and crispy and so was the fish... never greasy.. it was PERFECT!

In my opinion this place serves the best chips in the whole borough of Kingston. Great choice on the menu and friendly staff.

5 others waiting and he was on his phone, waited 5 minutes, we r elsewhere expensive too

Superb fish and chips make sure your hungry massive portions served here

It's ok little rushed sometimes

Tasty fish, freshly cooked. Friendly staff, good value.

A pretty decent fish n chip shop. Is clean which is a big plus for me. The staff try their best to provide a good meal. It is employable and a nice easy place to pick up a quick meal. Nothing bad but nothing spectacular either.

Very rude man who works there no people skills at all don't u no the customer is allways right

Great food. Spotlessly clean. Excellent value. Friendly bunch of guys! What more could you want ?

Brilliant fish and chips, guys are very friendly.

Exactly what you are expecting from such a place.

New Management a bit better than the previous owner

Chips were pretty cold and greasy

The lads here are so accommodating and the food is amazing

Cod was very thin. Tasted ok, nothing special.

Always fresh and quick, not greasy staff friendly

One of the best chip shops in the London/Surrey area. Lovely fish and chips.
