Kennedy's in Lambeth

Delicious fish and a portion of fries you can't finish

I used to come here years ago before it changed owner and it used to be my friday regularly fish and chips. The service is now very cold. Chips tasted like cardboard and fish was very underwhelming. Very disappointing. Better fish and chips shops in London.

Hadn’t had proper fish n chips for a while and this place serves them just like a remember as a kid. Loved it 🙏🏼

Warm and friendly staff and crispy fish and chips. Cod is always chunky and good size enough for me even it’s a regular size.

One of the very best Chip Shops in London. Fishcakes are delicious

Chips were cold and tasted like old socks the! The fish wasn't cooked properly and full of oil, and the service is so poor the woman who served me had a face like a spanked bottom! Save your money its not worth it. Just a pity there aren't other fish n chips shop nearby

Having eaten in Kennedys on goswell road. The Kennedys here for the price is not worth it. The food does not taste fresh/good, would not recommend. Not going back, there's better fish and chips in the area.

Food is excellent but the lady with the glasses was incredibly rude - I shall NOT be going back.

Lovely fish and chips with great customer service, highly recommend.

Grill Salmon & Chips, I got to say I enjoyed my meal. I do order from Kennedy's on a regular and I must say chips is always fresh and a decent portion, first time I've ordered the Salmon and I will be ordering again!! Delicious!! Presentation is also 👌 well done to all the Staffs who aim to please their customers

The staff approach was terrible, specially the bald guy . He asked my daughter if we had money to pay for extra fries . Not in a friendly manner . Also said if u don’t like the way I talk go elsewhere. I was insulted in front of my kids .

Below average. The garlic pasta is bland and not worth more than a couple of quid. Fish cold and calamari extremely greasy. Mediocre and overpriced.

Best fish and chips in London a good selection of other meals staff always polite and cheerful 😊 love this place Kevin

London's most delicious fish and chips

Very good fish. Everything is fresh and large portions of thick-cut fries. I couldn't eat whole meal. I will be back for sure soon.

Had chips and steak and kidney pie. The chips were oily and not nice, steak and kidney pie was dry and tasteless.

Very tasty fish and chips, better to take it with you.

Fantastic. A proper, classic chippy. Delicious cod, delivered in great time. Will go again.

Just like Mama used to make , half chicken and mashed potato.

By a mile the best Fish & Chips!!! Great service too!!!

Excellent selection of various Fish & others fries/grills & chips, very efficient & friendly staff and despite current inflation still reasonable prices. What's not to like😋😋🤗🤗😎

Paid for calamari but got rubber rings in batter. Would not try their fish and chips To eat good quality fish and chip and calamari visit Brockley Rock is the best

After seeing customers queuing outside many years ago, I had to find out what this place was all about. I wish I hadn't because the chips were raw and the prices are EXCESSIVE. It seems to be empty nowadays and I am not surprised. I do not expect them to last another 10 years but then again with the extortionate prices, who knows! Go to Billingsgate Market and make your own! According to the reviews, it seems they've gone downhill.

Kennedy's is my favourite fish and chip shop in London. I have been to a few over the years. The good, bad and the ugly but this place is always immaculately clean, the best ingredients and the best cooks. It's definitely on par with Seashell of Lisson Grove which says a lot about the quality of the place.

Friendly staff and the BEST FISH AND CHIPS in London

The delivery was quick, but I had no idea chips could be so bland. The fish was equally unimpressive... completely lacking in flavor. The portions were huge, but with such an emphasis on quantity over quality that didn't do much to improve the overall negative eating experience. I'm honestly puzzled by the rave reviews.

Longstanding Streatham institution with good elevated a level from most fast food outlets. Excellent sausages and pies and also fish.

Sometimes there good but not consistently. Could go on a bad day and it be very mediocre. Got my order wrong and charged me for things I didn't even order. The sad reality is if you want amazing fish and chips in London you have to go to borough market or somewhere central. Everywhere else unfortunately just serves very mediocre fish and chips.

Great local fish and chip shop. Good portions particularly the chips!

Uber eats orders, found hair in my food on about three occasions, tried to give benefit of the doubt each time because these guys used to be my go-to a few years ago but its really not the same anymore. Been times where the cod has tasted weird and had a very high pitch smell coming of it. Im not coming back anymore unfortunately.

Fish & chips at Kennedy's in Streatham Today price for 2023 The menu they display is out of date on this site . £12.50 p medium cod & chips £14 for large cod & chips Absolutely ridiculous over priced . This is Lambeth Not some posh restaurant in May fair . I asked why so expensive.? Answer price of oil and Fish delivery. Just ripping us off . This fish & chip shop is all about money . Not the customers. If you want to be ripped off and put of pocket Then come here . Out of Lambeth This fish & chip shop is the most expensive in the whole area . Welcome to rip off streatham .

Really top notch, good size portions and quick service, maybe a bit overpriced

Very disappointed cod was flavourless and soggy. Will not be visiting the famous Kennedy again.

The fish looked incredible , the size is good , the price is expensive but so is everything these days . Sadly by the time I arrived home (7minute drive) the fish that we bought was soggy and all the batter had stuck to the bag. It’s promoted as crispy batter on their advertising board but it’s soggy and wet. I would go there again and ask them not to pack the fish into the bag but maybe into a chip box . Gutted

Best fish and chips in South London. Great service, excellent food.

Very busy but worth the wait. This tastes SO MUCH BETTER than the overrated Poppies Fish & Chips. Definitely recommend.

I've had cod and chips and rock and chips From here and it's always been very tasty, highly recommend it.

Overcharged me by nearly 50% and their refund never came through. Good fish tho lol

Great service and didn't have to wait long considering how busy it was. Sadly the eating experience wasn't the same. Cod was slightly crunchy on one side, soggy as anything on the other, and pure mush on the inside. Lacked all flavour indicating that the fish was badly frozen. Chips were undercooked, soft and bland. Left most the food leaving me hungry. Not going back. Mushy bland mess.

Good price, good fish (batter was delicious and super crispy) and the chips were nice. Friendly staff also!

My order was very simple and the woman still got it wrong. She was stingy with the salt n vinegar which made the chips very bland

Excellent signature traditional English seafood.

Good quality fish and chips. Always busy on a Friday with large portions of chips. Good value for money

A-little steep price wise , Chips are nice but the Cod lately has tasteless flavor , especially the batter , it’s bland and tasteless . Don’t think I’ll bother anymore .

Prior to this the new management I’ve been going to this chip shop without any complaints since the new management has taken over this chip shop it has totally gone down hill the Customer service is terrible and the fish is overpriced wet soggy fish and the people running the front counter are so rude i’ve been living in this area more than 15 years and after today as I said to the lady behind the counter I will never ever use this fish shop again and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

Quick, easy, tasty with great service. Excellent Cumberland sausages - perfect as it's the old Kennedy's Sausages Shop.

Always my favourite place to eat fish and chips wouldn't have it anywhere else lovely famliy establishment delicious food and lovely quality of sausages and fish and chips and variety of other foods Always a lovely recommendation of mine when wanting fish and chips 😋💯

Nice food...period...shalawam ❤🖤💚👊🏾

Best fish and chips in the area.

Consistently good fish and chips

First visit this lunchtime for Fish and Chips and Took away a Steak & Kidney pie for later. Have to say that the quality of all the food was outstanding. Just enjoying my pie now

I’ve been here twice and honestly the best Fish and Chips I’ve had! The Cod is super fresh and the batter is of perfect consistency. It looked very clean in the shop and the customer service was on point they genuinley looked happy to serve. Super impressed:)

Best fish and chips in south London!!! Great customer service and very clean!!

Disappointed beyond words. After years of using this great chippy, we won’t be returning. Food delivered was barely warm and arrived after an hour and twenty minute wait. No large chips for which we paid over £5. My medium cod alone was £12.55! Soggy batter too. Sadly, not worth even half the £52 we spent on the food. Never again.

Yuk. Ordered throu Uber. Delivery Brill, but the food was not nice. The chips really greasy and the fish had a strange taste to it. Expensive too... Particularly as most went in the bin. Never again

The best fish and chip shop in South London. I am updating my review because it seems some new people have moved to the area who don't know what good fish and chips taste like and have given it one star. Idiots. Don't take any notice of these spoiled brats. I have been going here for 7 years and the standards are just as high. Yes sometimes the staff are a bit abrupt, its a busy and well run business and still the best fish and chip shop in South London.

Very dissapointing - abrupt customer service and expensive for a very oily meal. Paid £16.30 for a large cod & chips, mushy peas & can of Dr pepper. At this price was hoping for the food to be decent but was overly oily and not tasty. I couldn't finish my meal, would NOT recommend! 1 star for clean premises

Lovely food could not wait to get home ..and didn't.

Always perfectly cooked cod with fast delivery

Fish and chips are fantastic. But the service, means in the way they treat some customers and in the way they pack the foods are disgusting...Horrible. Please try to improve this issue, because not longer Kennedy's will start to lose customers...Thank you. Luis

Excellent restaurant, the best fish and chip shop in London. Fabulous service from very friendly staff. Beautiful new refurbished toilets. We always visit for lunch when we're in the area.

Love this place. Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in London. Never misses.

Great food, excellent service as always!

All of us locals know it's THE place to go. Check it out on a friday evening there's a line snaking put of the shop so that's all you need to know! My personal fav is the calamari, big crispy and tasty rings! One thing I should add is cleanliness and hygiene is 10*s here. Actually been in the shop nearer to close time and seen how they strip everything everytime to clean. Also through out the day too! So not only do they serve the best fish and chips around they make sure it comes out of an ultra clean shop!

Have been dreaming about getting here for a while. Landed in UK today and grapped take away. Awesome plaice and salad and wonderful rock and chips. Did not dissapoint. They have pies and a choice of charbroiled, a great neighborhood chippy like from my childhood without the ink rubbing off the newspaper as you ate your chips back in the day.

What happened! This place used the be the best but now the fish is the same standard as you'd get from a dodgy kebab shop. I'm really sad, their chips are still pretty good though.

Good service, nice fish and chips. Price £10.

Best chip shop by far in the area. Gets a little busy Friday evenings, its a very popular spot.

Staying in area and needed dinner so chanced on this chippy, fish expensive so went for pies, was not disappointed! Really nice pastry, good fillings, large portion of chips could've fed four not two, ordered mushy peas and two pickles, less than £15 for the lot. Would eat from again if I was in the area.

I just went in to Kennedy’s fish and chips and ordered fish and chips with onion vinegar for my elderly agoraphobic aunt. The young guy accidentally put vinegar on the chips so he offered to change it which I was happy with. I saw his colleague tell him off in her language and then gave me the food. I didn’t realise until I gave my aunt the chips (she started choking due to the allergic reaction to the vinegar which I asked to put on the chips!) I realise the lady gave me back the same chips which had vinegar on it!😡😡😡 thank god my aunt is feeling a little better (no thanks to this shop!)

Excellent fish and chips as well as pot pies roast chicken and much more. Very fast service and nice staff

Probably the worst fish and chips I’ve had for some time. Soggy batter and soft, nearly inedible cod. The chips were good and this is the only reason for 2 stars. I hope this was a one off as it’s normally good, if very expensive for SW London.

As far as Fish & Chip shops in Streatham go this is about the best you will get .

I think the quality of steak burger has gone down compared to few years ago. Meat tatests like normal mince instead of steak mince. Needless to say,their fish and chips, calamaries are always the best

Fantastic fish and chip, pies and mushy peas. It's no wonder there are always queues but worth the wait and travelling from afar.

Food is always good here - especially the cheeky Cumberland sausage for the walk home! - but service can be slow because it's so popular. They also take phone orders which can seem to take property over people in the shop, which isn't right. But great overall!

Flavor only exist in batter, and fish is 100% blunt and tasteless. So if you happen to finish the batter, then it's almost impossible to eat fish alone. I am not moaning about spices, as there is no need of spices in this great dish; however, at least the fish meat should have some salt absorbed. Chips are Okay. I have to agree that it's overpriced.

Best fish and chips in London, if not the country

Not cheap but great produce and worth it IMHO. Sadly waiting times at weekends have been increased due to the amount of delivery riders. (I'm sure people don't realise that these companies charge you a 30% premium plus delivery for the privilege)

Good and quick service food is always fresh and hot

Probably the 2nd best fish and chips I've ever had!

The chips are really good here. Service is friendly too from my experience. They have a couple of veggie options too :)

Extremely expensive for average fish and chips. Female Staff is rude. Manners are just like a police officer who uses words sir and please before arrest you. Highly not recommended

Some staff members are quite rude there.

Was in the mood for Olleys but decided to try something different. However, despite the reviews I thought it was very average food. My sister's and I all agreed that the batter for the sausage in batter was unpleasantly thick and the fish was greasy. Wouldn't recommend it and I won't be back.

Food was a little above average but expensive. Decent food, poor value for money. I'd go back but wouldn't be in a hurry.

These fish and chips were good, but they weren't anything special. Very expensive and poor value for money.

I had to write a review! This IS the best chip shop in London! When you fancy chips, what you actually want is chips from THIS chip shop. We had large chips and cod, it was fresh, not greasy a nice batter, the taste was amazing, both chips and cod tasted exactly what you fancy. Do not waste your time going anywhere else, make the trip, get theses chips !

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips. Friendly staff. Love getting food from there

Mushy fish for £9:10 and cold beans!

One of the best chippies in town!

This is the best fish and chips shop I have visited in streatham! The food is absolutely delicious and they are very generous with the amount of portions they give! The staff is absolutely lovely and welcoming. The place is also very clean which is something very important for me. I recommend everyone to visit Kennedys if they are looking for a fish and chips in streatham!!

Amazing fish and chips. Can't be beaten in London

Best fish and chips place ever (with many other delicious things on the menu).

Best fish and chips and customer service

Rock and chips very tasty and a generous helping Thanks

Never will we use Kennedy again. Only received half the paid for order + whn rang twice to resolve v abrupt/ rude response redirected me to deliveroo as not their responsibility 😑 deliveroo 'order help' crashed...be warned 🤬

Best fish and chips around, it's always busy which is a good sign but it's not a long wait.

Cod was great, chips also, but I thought chips got little too soft and and got little mashy! Maybe it's type of potatoes they use!

As a vegeterian pop up have some chips top ones
