Poppies Fish & Chips in Tower Hamlets

Je komt hier voor één ding: de uitstekende fish & chips. Maar ook de inrichting is fantastisch. Samen met de oldies muziek en de fijne bediening zorgt het voor een zalige vibe.

Had cod & chips with mushy peas. cod was tasteless the chips were old and brown and the mushy peas were brown - never again. Shame as nice interior and with lots of history - never again

Le fish &chips est excellent. C est la spécialité du restaurant. Le poisson est frais, pané sur place. Le croustillant de la panure est top c est un délice. La sauce est excellente. Le service est agréable est rapide.

Sa réputation n'est plus à faire. L'accueil est souriant et sympathique. Les plats sont extra-frais et copieux.

this was ok but nothing special and certainly 50% more money than it should have been for the quality and size of portion. Sad as it used to be such a great place with an amazing atmosphere.

Absolut empfehlenswert, um fish and chips essen zu gehen. Schönes Ambiente - super Preis/ Leistung. Service Top - Special thanks to Daniel - best wishes from Germany 😊

I ordered from them via Just Eat order 1246966628 at 21h an order that cost £35. It said that it would arrive before 22h and they were waiting for a driver. As the food didn't arrive, I called and was told to wait 10 minutes. Then on the app it said that it would arrive by 23h so I called to cancel as it would be too late to have dinner and it would be inedible as the food had been cooked for too long. After I cancelled was told that I would have to pay for half of the food as they had already cancelled even though they only started cooking the food at 22.36?? after I cancelled. So we went out and tried to get something to eat and it was past 23h when they called saying that they were outside with the food!! It was my first weekend off since September 2019, I have been working around the clock due to the pandemic and this place totally ruined it for me. Instead of putting signs "Thank you NHS" on your windows, just be honest and professional when we order full. Outrageous, appalling and mediocre service.

A smaller, takeaway only version, of the bigger Poppies a minute away. Great fish and chips. Fish is always fresh. Unfortunately, this small one has closed down now.

Very good. But it was no special like always. But I will come back. The service was god and the atmosphere nice.

My husband and I visited Poppie's and we really enjoyed the food! Our fish and chips were plentiful and tasty. We also enjoyed our drinks! The restaurant is cute and has lots of signs/sayings up to enjoy. Our waitress was so much fun and she kept us laughing throughout the night. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

Super dîner en famille avec 2 ados. Le repas était excellent, la musique au top et service aux petits soins. L’un des meilleurs fish & chips de Londres. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant et nous y retournerons certainement.

Poppies a Spitalfields è un ristorante e un takeway uno parte dell'altro, parlo per il takeway, ho trovato grande disponibilità, cortesia e pazienza del personale, ottimo il fish & chips, sia il classico merluzzo (cod) che la variante con il pesce eglefino, più conosciuto come "asinello" (haddock).

We came to know of Poppies from the Food Walking Tour we had in Easter 2019, this year, where we tasted some samples. Now in Dec 2019 we decided to come back for lunch. The restaurant was full and we did not have reservation but still we were acccepted nicely and asked to be seated on waitlist. It didn't take so long for the 4 of us to get a table. It was a small place but nicely decorated. They had good structure in seating people. The fish and chips here is really awesome and ambiance very good.Toilets have a lot of wall photos as well. The service was fast and excellent. We realised that there are some good combination dishes which you don't see on the menu for take out. Example was a mixed platter of variety of fish, shrimps, chicken, onion rings etc. However there was a remarkably big diffrence in the price of each dish when ordered for take out or eaten inside, of average 5 GBP per dish. Also a service charge is added to the bill as well. To be cheaper it would be good to just take out food. But we can recommend this as very good place for fish and chips if not the best in London.

First meal in London did not disappoint. We had the medium cod and it was very flavorful and well-cooked. I also had the mushy peas and they were better than expected. When in London, do as the Brits do and this is definitely the place to do it!

We took a food tour in London last September. We met In Spitafields Market for a four hour tour of various pubs and restaurants around the Market. One of the stops was Poppies Fish and Chips. We have had one other fish and chips on our first visit to London and swore we would never eat it again. Well, Poppies changed our minds. The fish was crisp, sweet and delicious. This is from someone who hates fish! The chips are also very tasty and crisp. My passion in England is Sticky Toffee Pudding. Poppies is the best. The pudding is huge with enough toffee sauce that it almost overflows from the plate. The restaurant is very quaint, Poppie stands on the steps welcoming the customers, you either sit in the open kitchen area or in the small room to the side. The waitresses are dressed in the 1950’s style and the decorations will keep you occupied until your food arrives. We went on the tour on Sunday and went back on Wednesday to have the best London meal before we returned home the next day. We often say that we wish we were back in London to goto Poppies. If you want fish and chips, definitely goto Poppies just down the street from Spitafields Market. There are other Poppies through London, but this is the original one.

Poppie was there and he is a fantastic proprietor. friendly, willing to take pictures, food was good. Fries and malt vinegar - what could be better.

We order the cod fish & chips and 1/4 chicken with chips for two of us. The total cost is GBP 24. Both dishes are dry. Fries are good though - big and juicy. Service is prompt and friendly. We walk in at 730pm and managed to get a table immediately. The place started getting crowded at 8pm with queue forming.

We wanted to have fish and chips - that‘s what you go for when you visit London 😃 When looking up the best place, we found Poppies Fish & Chips. We got onto underground/overground and found a small nice restaurant. The style is dated 1960‘s. We ordered fish and chips with cod. It was really good, not oily or sticky. We also decided for some desert - we went for apple pie with a scope of vanilla ice cream and the toffee pudding with vanilla ice. Simply to describe - delicious!

Went to poppies twice over a four day visit, we never do that. Food is hot fast and scrumptious. Get the Hancock it has the most flavour, also the mushy peas are to die for. Good food and atmosphere.

It was my for fish&chips in my life and I have to say it was the best. It’s small restaurant with very nice staff. Meal was cooked very fast. I really recommend to taste their cider.

My wife and I recently visited London for the first time and had decided to try Poppies for the fish and chips based on the feedback from a number of places. We were not disappointed. After having tried the fish and chips at a number of locations over our 10-day stay, I believe Poppies had the fish and chips I enjoyed the most. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the batter was crisp and crunch the entire time. I don't know what they do to prepare the chips, but they were quite good and stood out from other places. The service was good and the staff was attentive. The beer selection was a little limited, but it seemed to be more of a casual restaurant theme, rather than a pub. For a visitor to London, I would definitely recommend trying the fish and chips here.

Original fish and chips. Quite small and tight place to eat in. But great for the options of different fish. Huge portions!

.... and if it was amazing I’d say ok .... but honestly nothing better than any decent local - so can’t understand the 100 or so % markup - typical I’m afraid of location and tourist trap location - my wife insisted on going so...

We had a private tour guide who is a native Londoner who said this was the best-and it was fantastic! They did have some sides and salads for our vegetarian in the group. Both sit-down dining and take-away in the location we ate at. (To...

If in London one must have fish and chips and this did not disappoint. Batter was perfect not too greasy and fries were terrific too Some complain about size of fish but I think it’s ideal piece! U have regular and larger -10 euros reasonable...

I love fish and chips and these where good but for £10.60 I would expect a large piece of fish and complementary sauce. Sauce was 40p a packet and I would have liked this to of been homemade. Was nice to try but wouldn't eat...

We visited on a Monday evening around 6 PM and were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and the food came out promptly. Unfortunately they were sold out of the haddock, but the cod was delicious. The chips were hot, but I prefer...

Good customer service, nearly, we have ordered regular size fish and chips. What have arrived was half size fish and shed load of chips, super disappointing. When spoked to the manager I was informed that it is what it is. Paid my bill in full...

We‘ve been to Poppies Spitalfields on Thursday evening. We made an online reservation (confirmation was send within one hour, was great), but you will also get a table on the spot with some waiting time. The place is usually quite packed. But as it’s not...

I had my best fish and chips in London in this super cute shop in Old Spitalfelds market! For sure I'll come back soon.

Everything was perfect. We arrived and waited a few moments before getting seated. Once seated the order was promptly taken and within 5 minutes the food was in front of us. They source their fish in a conscious manner which is really great. The fish...

Poppies... what can I say? We decided even before we booked our trip to London to visit Poppies for fish and chips. Fish was perfectly prepared, the chips tasted very well and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The service was very friendly and the...

i absolutely fell in love with this place, great food even better and friendly staff, what a wonderful experience. very cosy and cute restaurant and i will be coming back for sure.. cant recommend enough!

We enjoyed our visit to Poppies. Seating is a bit tight, but we received wonderful service. The fish and chips were delish!

Fish is sufficiently decent and not too gressy. It is big as well which is nice. The chips however are extremely dry, plain and seems a bit old.

We heard about this place from an english friend. He was not wrong!! Small place and full of customers. Nice atmosphere and very very good fish & chips!

Spitalfields markert was closed, but we came here to eat. Nice as on previous visit. It was full, and we had to wait for 10 minutes. Liked beeing placed at the back out of prying eyes.

Now, I’m not a massive fish and chips fan and I wouldn’t expect to call a fish and chips meal delicious, however, Poppies’ fish and chips was so good that I have to admit: it was delicious. The fish is perfect, not too much batter...

Fish was dry and tasted like it had been frozen and thawed then fried. Disappointing meal considering the reviews and queue outside. It was my first time trying mushy peas and personally I don't like it at all. Would not return.

Fish and chips on point! Had two fish and chips, cod and haddock, crisp, moist and delicious! Homemade peas and gherkin are on point!

Had a quick visit here. The decor is very interesting. Gets quite busy. The fish was very nice but not too sure about the chips. Toilets downstairs very clean.

Great fish and chips, really! A local friend of mine told me that we'd find amazing traditional fish and chips here and oh boy he was right...it was so good I ordered twice lol.

Delicious fish and chips served up by very welcoming and helpful staff. Quirky retro decor, great photos, spotless clean.

We had a business lunch with guests from Bavaria at Poppies. Service was great, and the food excellent. We all had Haddock and Chips, mushy peas, gherkins washed down with a bottle of Camden pale ale. The regular portion was more than big enough, and...

Best atmosphere, best fish n chips, best place in the world... hands down! If I could live in poppies I would.

I was surprised to see how full and how small the restaurant was on arrival but the staff were extremely friendly and the food was the fastest served that I have ever come across in a restaurant! The retro feel is informative and interesting with...

Retro, truly vintage eloquent set up over at Spitalfields' branch, friendly staff, and excellent haddock fish and chips. Truly a gem. Will return definitely. The entire family enjoyed it.

Incredibly good fish and chips, staff very friendly when we visited and the place was rather crowded, but they managed to find a table for us. Food is superb

Excellent fish and chips - some of the best I've had anywhere. It's a walk-up and find a place to sit counter in Spitalfields Market and quite busy. There are tables and chairs to share right next to it, though. Large portions, and did I...

Best fish and chips ever had. Highly recommended. Fish was told that is delivered daily fresh. No wonder it tasted define.

I just wanted to buy some food but I would have been better off visiting a fast food restaurant, it would have been a better customer experience. Battered sausage? They only got plain and they wouldn't get some battered out of the freezer, just for...

Went there upon Trip's recommendation and we were not disappointed... Fresh, fried to perfection Cod accompanied by chips that could spend more time in the frier for my taste but I assume this is how people here like them. Place is full with 50s memorabilia...

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the food is tasty 😋 and very hot, they have huge variety of food selections. Their fish and chips is the best, they use fresh fish. The prices are low if compared to the portion size.

I really love this place! I always repeat and recommend to my friends who visit for the first time london. Service was so fast, and staff really lovely. They take care of all details since local (very clean) to bill (they give you a wet...

Place is awesome for fish n chips. We were so excited to be there! We waited maybe 10 mins for a table. We were treated so kindly by all the staff. I just loved the food, beer, wine, service, and ambiance. It's a loud place...

This is top 20% fish and chips place. It is one of the better places in London that I have had fish and chips although not as good as some places in the southern UK or West Ireland. We do try to have it each...

Fish folded in half so it fitted in the box. Surely get larger boxes?! Very bland. With so much competition where I am in Angel, won’t be ordering again. No care taken at all.

Two years ago, I tried fish-n-chips in London and was severely disappointed. This time, I inquired from locals and Poppie's was the unanimous choice. Thank goodness, excellent fish-n-chips exist!!!!

Great fish and chips and great service. Called late and made a reservation. Even though they were packed, the manager got us seated quickly. Fun vibe, friendly service and great food!

Magnificent fish&chips, nice decorations, delicious lemonade - simply perfect! You trully feel the traditional spirit there.

Very nice fish and chips place next to old spitalfields market. Meals are great. Atmosphere is vibrant although I am not entirely sure why they have picked a 1950s American diner theme which seems slightly out of place. Great service and friendly staff.

They serve the best fish & chips ever! Love their decorations and environment. Please remember to check out their menu. They will tell you the story of how they founded the restaurant. The fish & chips are freshly cooked, price is reasonable for me. Just...

Always freshly cooked never had a dud meal here, amazing, always packed. Well worth a vist.Batter on the fish is just wonderful unable to fault.

Best fish and chips ever! Super crispy batter and lovely chips, bargain at £9.20! Highly recommended.

Ordered what they're best known for: the fish and chips. It hit the spot! You receive lemon, ketchup, and tartar sauce with the meal. A fantastic experience. Would recommend making a reservation.

After trudging the streets for hours we were tired and weary and needed food but didn't want to eat too much as we were due out some three hours later. We fell upon Poppies on the way back to the Hotel and went in and...

nice food nice price nice service perfect location

The Poppies in the Spitalfieds market should not even be there. The fish was left there for a few hours and not freshly fried. The batter of the fish is always the most important but yet they manage to get this all wrong. Chips were...

I'll admit I'm not a very fishy person and as such I always rate a Fish n Chip shop by their chips. Poppies packaging bold states the prizes they have won for being the best chippy which merely rubs salt in the wound as I...

A first visit to Poppies was met with mediocrity at its best: having the wild halibut fish and chips, the experience was that of extremely dry and overcooked halibut to the extent that eating more than half was a chore. The service was decent and...

Yeah fish was fresh, but wasn't mind-blowing. Don't know what the fuss about. Thank god I went to the spitalfields' branch instead of the soho, which was packed all the time I passed by. Or perhaps it's just the branch I had that wasn't as...

I tried the London´s best fish and chips aaaand ... I didn´t find it that good (and I was staaaarving at the time) .. I ordered one type of fish but there was only cod fish ... Anyways ... You may give it a try...

very good fish and chips, good retro interior decor. very busy so you know its good. bit more pricey than usual. but worth treating yourself.

This place is usually queuing onto the street when we walk past. So when we noticed no queue on a rainy day, my colleagues and I took the chance to try out this popular venue for ourselves. The fish and chips were really nice, not...

I saw a tv show recently,and happened to notice a proper traditional fish & chip shop in the East end of London. It looked really good,and the chaps working there were old school,that impressed me so much that I looked it up. Well we struck...

Poppies is the best fish and chips in London. You simply can't get any better! It's a great location too.

Very kind staff, very tasty food! Fresh fish (cod or haddock) fried at the moment: crispy, not heavy, simply delicious. One of my favourite must eat in London.

It's not easy finding decent fish and chips shops but this one is very good. The fish was particularly nice. You can sit in the market and enjoy the atmosphere of Spitalfields whilst you eat. A great experience.

It's a funky restaurant where you will be served the best Fish and Chips in London.Its busy but the staff work hard to make sure you have a good time.Have visited several times and never been disappointed .The portions are generous .

This is well worth going out of your way to visit. Located inside Spitalfields market, this stall is a must. I'm sure they taste better for eating them in the fresh air! If you prefer to eat inside, their restaurant is situated across the road....

Had a very nice fish and chip dinner at Poppies at Spitalfields a few nights back but whilst is was thoroughly enjoyable we were a bit surprised to pay £36 for 2 fish and chips with mush peas and a coke each. There again I...

For visitors from across the pond, a stop at Poppies is an absolute must. You'll be served your bounty wrapped in newspaper. There is minimal seating inside, and most hungry folk stand at the curb or in the street to eat "on the hoof." Best...
