Without a shed of doubt, the best chippy (fish 'n' chip shop) in Thornton Heath & surrounding area. Portions are generous & the quality of the food is superb.

I've ordered takeaway for the second time, and on both occasions, the food was excellent. Fridays evenings are busy, so a bit longer waiting time. I will definitely order again.

Great fish and chips shop. They obviously use good oil as everything is crisp and fresh. Highly recommend.

Best fish and chips I've eaten in London. Each time I've come here my fish and my chips especially, were perfect. You don't have to take my word for it. Just go down and try. This is not a restaurant, it is takeaway only.

Worst fish and chips I have ever had in my life... Cod was soggy and definitely wouldn't call it battered. Chips were soggy and didn't taste any salt and vinegar even though asked. Even after going back in and complaining I was asked to pay for ketchup! Definitely would not recommend. Charging £22 for two regular cod and one chips with two drinks that taste as awful as they do. Best part was the cans of drink.

I have become a regular customer here over the past year. The chips are always cooked fresh and are always top notch. I used to moan to myself going to other chip shops when the chips weren't ready and I had to wait, but time and experience have taught me that if your chips are regularly all ready to go at a chip shop, that it usually means that they've probably been in the tray for an hour or two. The top notch Service and welcoming conversation is always there at this chip shop. Staff are wonderful. Can't recommend this place enough. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed 🍟🐟

I have to say, it was a fantastic experience! The fish was perfectly battered crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. You can tell it was freshly cooked, and the portion size was generous. The chips were just as impressive—golden, crunchy, and seasoned to perfection. The staff were friendly and quick, and everything was piping hot when I got home. It's a real treat for anyone craving classic fish and chips! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend! I wish they would tell me the secret ingredient for the fish lool

I have visited this Fish & Chip shop many times. The customer service is excellent on arrival. The staff are very welcoming and polite and have nice friendly faces 🙂. The food is lovely and fresh and the cod is delicious, very nice and fleshy inside. The batter is perfectly Crispy. The chips are nice and the potatoe inside is very moist and not dry like some fish & chip shops. The savaloy sausage is also very nice, but sometimes they can lack a bit of taste like today, but I’m not sure why. I would definitely visit this Fish & Chip shop again! 😊

Visited Melfort fish bar as I am aiming to try all the chippies. It is near Thornton heath station hidden on a residential road. Prices are affordable and they offer skate and haddock as well. As I had a train to catch I just got the cod and chips for 7 pounds because skate requires 20 mins. The cod was tasty and comes with skin which is good. Chips are crispy and soft in the middle. As I needed a box [normally wrapped] the fish was too long so had to be folded over which reminded me of some morbid news where they sawed the legs from a corpse to fit in a coffin.

Excellent fish n chips today had 2 portions of regular fish which was like large..had large chips more than enough for 2 adults...nice thin batter (edible) and nice big chips...good opening time (all day practically) no que due to 3/4's of hour before England game !! Paid £20.25 which I didn't think overly priced ....for the size and quantity of real cod ... ir costs more at seaside and much smaller...definitely will return...Thank you 👍👌 Had another fIsh n chip takeaway at weekend...EXCELLENT AGAIN👍 ITS NOW GONE STRAIGHT TO TOP OF LIST AS FAVORITE TAKEAWAY AND WONT BOTHER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE NOW...MANY THANKS AGAIN👏👏.KEEP UP EXCELLENT QUALITY..AND I WILL STAY A REGULAR CUSTOMER 👍😀

i live 5 minutes from the restaurant and should have arrived at 1905. The driver went in the opposite direction and ended up arriving at 1930 with cold food. While the driver was heading in the wrong direction I contacted custoemr service who failed to tell me that he had been given another order which took him in the opposite direction. The driver agreed that it was crazy for him to be given another delivery so far away and not be able to deliver to me first. Food was cold when it arrived. I would like a refund

I ordered half chicken and chips. Order time kept getting pushed back. Eventually the app said order had been delivered when it hadn't! I called the restaurant and the person I spoke to was completely unhelpful and rude. Told me at first they didn't have my order until I insisted he look again. He then 'found' it and said it had been delivered and kept talking over me, then had the nerve to call me rude! Completely dismissed me and just said I needed to get in touch with just eat. DO NOT USE.

food was delicious, for quality I cannot fault them. However, the estimated time kept changing and was 10 minutes later than the original time given. 2 bottles of drink were missing and also a jar of tartar sauce. The missing items kinda killed it for me and I'm unsure if I will order from them again.

Fish was a bit rubbery this time and the batter was wet which is unusual as they are always consistent in delivering amazing food. Mushy peas were quite thick and clumpy. Will still order from them as this may have just been a one off.

Do not buy from here food is disgusting. Chips are stale taste like rubber and cooked in same oil from weeks ago. Service is even worse. The men are awfully rude. It’s been like this for a while my mum didn’t realise and went there today it the chips looked brown. They don’t give you fresh food. I’m sure this review will be removed but people need to know- don’t give them your money. If I could post a picture of the food I would!

Exceptional Proper old-school chippy! Warm welcoming and respectful I witnessed an act of humility that compelled me to write this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 10/10 Batch made cod fluffy golden crispy as it should be, quality fish - nice piece too !!!! Great portions generous servings... Excellent Service - a family business that sets standards, grace and humility in equal measures...indeed...in a South London chippy!!! The locals have an absolute gem here! Competition is quite high in the area and there are some magnificent chippies (Ponds, Frydays, Donegal's) but it's the value and quality that wins here. No need for fancy packaging or astronomical just eat pricing to justify this...all about quality and service here and well worth the trip! FOOD 10/10 SERVICE 10/10 VALUE 10/10 Outstanding

Great food and great service! We used to be regulars two years ago before moving out of the area. Now that we’re back, we decided to revisit—and we were pleasantly surprised by the new decor! The food is just as good as we remembered. Special thanks to the gentleman behind the counter who kept my husband’s sunglasses safe after he forgot them at the restaurant. Extra stars for the thoughtful service!
