Quality Fish Restaurant in Richmond upon Thames

Really disappointed to find this shop has permanently closed - have been visiting for over 30 years

The fish and chips are lovely but I didn’t give it a 5 star review as it’s never open after 9:30pm when it shows to be open until 10pm. Disappointed a few times when I’ve driven all the way to find it already closed. Please adjust your opening times.

Excellent fish and chip shop but I’m very confused. The owner said it was closing for good a month ago but I’m told it’s still open and you can’t phone to check what’s going on. I wish I could get some clarity about this.

Almost the worst one in my experience for a fish and chips restaurant, even worse than an average takeaway. The fish is small and not fresh, the sauce is poor quality and the price is ridiculously high compared to the food quality. The most interesting thing is, they charge a compulsory 12.5% service fee! Don’t come here, almost a scam!

Close down now. Went there for the first time on their second to last day before closing.

After going to this restaurant for many months .. today will be the last .. Now you get hit with 12.5 service charge ! Only service is the food is brought to the table .. They said it was a “new menu” you can’t really change fish and chips! At the bottom in VERY small writing on the menu you are told you will be charged the service charge ! Very disappointing

Good quality fish and chips takeaway, very handy for the Green and the Riverside, two pleasant places with plenty of seats.

Been going there for more than thirty years and always been excellent take away on the green in the summer and inside in winter very sad day

Superb fish and chips - delicious!

THEIR LAST DAY OF OPERATION IS SUNDAY, 12 MAY, 2024. They will be missed hugely from all fans. One of the best Fish & Chips I had in UK. It’s a great loss in West London.

Our only regret is that we did not stop in here before. If we could give it six stars, we would. The interior itself is fantastic - it feels like a chippy or a old-school greasy spoon, but is exceptionally clean inside. You're able to seat yourself and someone will then come to the table to take your order. The booths are comfortable, and there are plenty of them! Someone came to take our order very shortly after we arrived, and food was out of the kitchen well within 10 minutes. The food itself was absolutely excellent - superb fish, and the chips were fantastic, as were the onion rings which are quite hard to get right. These were cooked through perfectly. We ate a bit too much as the portions are very generous. One thing that I think is worth highlighting are the prices - the whole meal with two fish and chips, mushy peas, onion rings and gravy plus two glasses of wine only cost us £45. That is very, very reasonable for this area (and in fact for most of the city now). The people working in the restaurant were all very welcoming - there is a great vibe to the place. They appear to have no shortage of customers either which is encouraging. We can thoroughly recommend this restaurant if you want a hearty meal that's well-priced in a nice part of Richmond.

Very nice fish bar located in Richmond. Good portion sizes and good prices!

Sadly, this friendly fish restaurant will be closing shortly. The proprieter told us today that the premises has been sold and will close in a couple of weeks. It will he greatly missed, especially by OAP's on Mondays when a substantial plate of fish and chips was available for £6.50. Thanks to Mary and her excellent helpers and the boys behind the counter.

Used to be the best fish and chip shop in SW London - has clearly changed hands since my list visit! No allergy menu available (which I think is now against the law). Was unable to eat here today as a result. Communication with the serving team was poor. Will not bother to come here again.

the ladies gave us the best service, really kind and welcoming. food was brilliant and it’s really cute inside! definitely will be coming back, thanks for the lovely meal :)

Like stepping back in time. In the best way xx. Great food,great service,excellent value for money. We were welcomed and made to feel totally special? Just go. 100%recommend xx

well I went back despite previous disappointment, see above, to eat in this time, small fish though it says medium but well cooked if you like it like that and very undercooked chips..bit of a bleak atmosphere, and quite expensive so will stick to my favourite take away in London Road Twickenham corner Whitton Road, very good and everything beautifully cooked and 9.99 take away.

Great no thrills fish restaurant in Richmond, really liked the retro vibe here. Crunchy batter and flakey fillet, the cod and chips here were solid, but the accompanying sachet of tartar sauce is disgusting - avoid that. Had a side of mushy peas too which were also good, but the waitress fingered them as she set down my plate. Disinterested and inattentive service from the waitress, cash payment preferred.

Deserves its plaudits. The one star reviewers are missing the point. If you want linen or Elephant's Breath, walk on by. The fish is fresh and cooked to order. The chips? Well most of us will have left some of our chip shop chips right? Or stopped enjoying them so much half way through? If I wanted to I could eat all the chips here before starting my fish. I can't give higher praise!

This restaurant is underrated🙁❤️, very delicious crispy fish and chips. The staff (two ladies) were very friendly and provided us with the best service. Would most definitely visit again 🥰🥰❤️❤️

The place stayed locked in the 70s and it is all the better for it, with excellent fish and chips old fashioned way

Absolutely delicious! And happy to see mushy peas & tartare sauce included. Lovely service too, will definitely be back

not many chips with the fish and chips.

Amazing, quaint, lovely local 60’s survivor. Great fresh food & great service. Great history, great food, nice place. No music, so can talk!

Um, did I just have the best fish and chip I’ve had in my entire life? I ordered the large Haddock fish and chip. Tasted like a lifechanging fried chicken: smooth, clean white meat, and flavourful crispy batter.

It's six years since I last wrote anything about here and in the intervening years it's had more than one manager. The present owner (Mary?) a friendly Irish lady goes 'above and beyond' what is called for and is always incredibly helpful. I, for one, have noticed the vast improvement. 👍

Nice chippy in Ted Lasso country. Enjoyed my haddock and chips. My brother thought the cod and chips was ok but not great. Service was excellent.

Lovely freshly prepared fish and chips for reasonable price (reasonable for this area). You can choose from few different fish and size as well but be careful if you decide to "eat it in" the price goes up so check both prices before you sit down. The service and all staff was nice and the whole place is nice and clean.

Authentic British cuisine with good prices.

If you're looking for an old-school chippie that's a throwback to the circa 1970-1990 era this is the place. All the little touches are retro, even the menus. It's like stepping into a time machine and I love that about it. Despite this the place is pristine and clean, and very spacious. Even a small haddock and chips was a decent, filling portion size. Haddock was fresh, meaty and flaky and the batter was flavourful and super crispy even after being doused in lemon juice. Very tasty fish. Chips are the old-fashioned chunky type but not soggy at all. This place definitely does authentic fish & chips well, recommended for tourists and locals alike. Decent value for money too, at least by Richmond standards. I would give it 5* but the mushy peas were a little bland and the tartare sauce came in a sachet - I love it when a chippy makes their own tartare as a good homemade tartare really elevates the experience.

I love this place, in my opinion this is the best fish and chips in the city. The fish is always fresh and the portion size is big.

Fantastic place for Fish & Chips

Only positive - the staff were friendly. Regarding the food it was way overpriced for the quality you get and you’ll be better off going to another restaurant in the area. There were midges constantly around our table and on our food. Our drinks were served after our food arrived and we had to order the drinks twice as the waiter forgot what we ordered. The audacity this restaurant has to charge £13+ for a meal when the experience is this bad is shocking.

We stopped in for some food, and it was great. The decor is very old, but it was clean and comfy. We sat in booth and we fitted in nice. Service was exceptional, and our waitstaff was amazing. She took good care of us. I ordered cod, chips, and mushy peas, and it was good. I needed a bit of salt for the peas, but the texture was good . Tried brown vinegar for the first time, and it was great with the chips. Would pop in again, and they do take away. We ordered water and a tea. Price was about 20 pound each.

Same as it’s name! Pure quality. Fresh fish 😉 Great portions and quickly service. The gravy sauce is so delicious as well.

Friendly service.... nice guy.....i like tha 70s stalls seating .....never say 🙄its only chips .....got nostalgic ....leave it as it is..... it works ....luvvin it ❤❤❤

Good quality chips could be .ore crispy

you must try Fish and chips at this restaurant

This is by far the BEST fish and chips restaurant we’ve ever been to down South having been loyal customers for near to 15 years. As the name of the restaurant promotes… QUALITY, presentation and portion sizes are huge, which makes their offering value for money. The customer service is excellent… from the lovely lady who always greets you with a smile when she takes your order and efficiently serves your meal… to those who carefully cook your food to perfection… it comes well-presented and hot. It’s always a joy to visit and a worthwhile tourist attraction if you’re new to the area and fancy a bite to eat. Did you know… the restaurant also featured in an TV action-drama.

Nice food just off the green and great prices

We had Lunch here today and it was amazing ! The fish and chips were delicious, so fresh and the batter on the cod so crunchy. The decor is retro but It gives you a feeling of nostalgia. The Owners and Waitress were very welcoming. We will definately be back. Thank You.

昔懐かしい渋い雰囲気のお店。午後に行った時はご近所の高齢者のグループらしき人達が何組かいらっしゃいました。 レギュラーサイズのcodのフィッシュ&チップスを注文しましたが、かなり大きく大満足。 少なくとも今はロンドン中心ではあまり体験出来ない、いわゆるイギリスの食事の感 じで、味付けは殆どされていません。 自分でテーブルの上の塩やビネガーで調整。タルタルソースは一袋付いて来ます。他にソースが必要かと聞いてくれるので、多分ケチャップやマスタードも出してくれるようです。 下味がほとんど無いので、プリプリした食感と共に魚の新鮮さが良くわかりました。衣もカラッと揚がっていて、とても良かった。 会計にはサービス料は含まれておらず、またメニューには出来れば支払いは現金でお願いしたい旨書いてありました。（私はチップを含めた金額でカード決済しましたが） ・新鮮な魚 ・地元の雰囲気 ・昔ながらのイギリスの味付け を、同時に楽しめます！

What a little gem of a place. Big welcome on entering and quickly seated. Drinks arrived really quickly. The food was amazing, great quality and big portions. The prices were competitive too. Will definitely be returning.

So disappointing chicken and chips for night . Staff very money orientated . No quality service . Staff is not honest

I haven't been here for about 20 years so was pleasantly surprised to see it still open. It hasn't changed at all, quite literally. It doesn't give a good impression in terms of decor as it really needs an upgrade so I was a bit concerned about the food we were to receive. We all had cod and chips which I had to say were excellent. The fish wasn't a huge portion, we got one small and two large which were only a pound difference in price and seemed to be identical in size. The fish was lovely and white and had its skin taken off which was nice to see and is not usual in London. The batter was very thin and crisp.The chips were excellent too. The prices were not low but fair for the quality. Like the rest of the place the men's toilet needed work - it was rather grotty. One last annoyance was being overcharged, the meal came to £49.50 according to the menu but when I came to pay I was charged £53 without any breakdown of how that figure had been reached. I didn't query it but didn't leave a tip which would have been a larger amount then the overcharge.

Great for a pre Barbie meal!! Thanks Quality Fish!!

Friendly atmosphere and quality fish and chips and 🫛. The decorations are very well maintained, 60s furniture 👌

A family favourite. They do one of best fish and chips in London. Friendly service. Great value and good quality. Lovely.

They haven't changed the decor since it opened over 40yrs ago. Apart from that it was okay.

The best fish and chips I've ever tasted. We go there often. Take away or dine in, if you are passing you have to go in. Very reasonably priced and large portion size.

I have to say this place is a total ripoff. Tiny portions, overpriced for the small amount of fish and chips you get. Not really great quality because the fish and chips were very greasy. The place is really outdated and they shouldn’t be charging this prices. The only positive was the lady who works there, she was nice and friendly. Not going there again.

It saddens me to have to leave a bad review. I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was 16! I also had a business two doors down and would often pop in for a fish cake. I get when there’s new management, there is an adjustment period. Unfortunately there’s no excuse for Rudeness, slapdash service and poorly cooked food

Nice place, good service and let me charge my phone

Outside the Cornwall/Devon... Best fresh fish battered.. Excellent !!!

Very yummy chips, great service.

Solid fish and chips. Don’t expect friendly service. Costed more to have it in the restaurant instead of to go

What a place. Lovely food, loads of atmosphere and a genuine 1950's IBM ceiling clock. I am going again.

Went on Monday 19th June to take advantage of the "pensioners special" lunch £6.50. The place is so cramped it would be difficult to escape in case of fire. The chips tasted cooked but were white rather than golden brown. The fish was fine. When it came to pay we were told by our server that they don't take cards for "specials" Cash only! I wasn't happy about this and even less happy when I got home and realised none of us had bit given a bill or receipt. My 2 friends and I will never go there again. Janet B Isleworth

Attended with family who got to try fish and chips for the first time - they were not disappointed. Clean plates all round at the end. Service always great here and this occasion was no exception. The fish was cooked so order so tasted delicious. Chips cooked just right. Good portion size.

Very real place, perfect for some traditional fish n chips. Fish was tasty and crispy on the outside, chips were hand cut, very tasty. Atmosphere is on the interesting side - worth checking it out!

Perfect chips, perfectly battered fish cooked fresh, friendly and accommodating staff; vintage 60s fittings lovingly preserved; easily the best f&c in the area (maybe in London….?)

Definitely NOT QUALITY anymore.charging Richmond prices for chips that have to go in the bin. Visited after a few month.shocked..new staff . The quality of chips was awful..all rotten…totally black and they still serve them. I’m shocked you take pride to serve your customers in RICHMOND!!

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Would highly recommend.

Perfect fish and chip experience! Curry sauce was delicious! Close to the Ted Lasso Pub. Great fit for tourists and locals.

Richmond's best fish restaurant despite having been here for a life time is still.under the radar. The prices are fair & the quality never less than excellent. Its a classic for good reason.

Wonderful fish and chips with amazing (original) retro decor!

Very nice fish based restaurant! We loved it, it has a lot of choices from fish and chips to prawn salad and poached cod! Hughly recommand

Average fish and chips, but priced well. As a local I prefer Pier 1 which is just a few minutes away

Very tasty and good value for money. Friendly staff and traditional area to sit inside

Lovely fish and chips. Mary the waitress was such a lovely woman. Definitely will be back next time I'm in London

Does what the same says! Prices are reasonable in this day and age and the Fish always tastes fresh, sadly something that’s becoming harder to find now! Great owners.

Ho provato il fish&chips, nulla di entusiasmante ma buono con porzione di patatine molto più abbondante rispetto al pesce. Prezzi economici, locale vecchio stile.

Very fresh fish and chips, waited about 5 minutes for the fish to be freshly cooked. The batter was light and the fish was flaky. I ordered the small portion and it was pretty big. Good value

Very very disappointing. Tiny cod and burnt batter, also forgot salt and vinegar. I will not be returning.

I enjoyed the fish and chips in Quality Fish. We ordered large Cod & Haddock. Both were great and valuable. I also loved the authentic design of the restaurant. Will definitely visit again.

Balık porsiyonu daha iyi olabilirdi ancak lezzetli bir fish&chips yedik. Otantik, güzel ve hayvan dostu bir restoran.

Despite its name there is nothing quality about this fish. Actually, it’s not even worth the napkins used to smear the grease off your lips, because that’s all you’re getting from here - grease. The chips… were soft, soggy and undercooked, the cod was also full of sog, tasteless and the batter was falling apart. The tartar sauce was this meal’s only saving grace.

Great!!! One of the best Fish and chips places I’ve been to in london.

Great value quality fare. No frills. Great food.

The best old school style fish & chips in Richmond. I love how the inside hasn’t changed in years

Pretty much perfect! Pre game day feed, fantastic interior, time capsule stuff. Service lovely, attentive and prompt. Food all we could ask for but Curry Sauce was a bit lacking. Will be back for sure!

Been eating here since I was a kid. Best fishcake in London.

This was my first visit to this fish & chip restaurant, as I was taking an elderly friend who has been many times before. I’m not a lover of fish & chips, having had bad experiences elsewhere. However, I was most impressed by the friendly team and the fantastic way they looked after my friend. We ordered cod and chips, one small and one large, one with mushy peas and one with onion rings. The portion sizes were well worth every penny spent and the food tasted excellent. I loathe huge amounts of heavy batter, so I was delighted to find just the right amount, which was not oily. Chips were excellent. My friend enjoyed her mushy peas as much as I enjoyed my onion rings. We both had a cup of tea with our meal. Although we were going to go for a dessert, it was not to be as we were both full, and extremely satisfied!! I see from some people’s reviews that they are negative about the decor. Sure, it’s a little dated, but it’s absolutely fine, clean and more than serves its purpose. Likewise I see sone moan about the food. Speaking as I find, I had no qualms whatsoever. I’d definitely return anytime and I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone. As the restaurant now take card payment, it makes life so much easier. Well done to the entire team. We will be back, for sure!!

the interior is very authentic and pleasurable to dine in but the food wasn’t so good. you can find tastier fish and chips at nearby pubs

authentic interior, ok cod and chips. you can eat tastier f&c in the pubs near by

Very good fish and chips in a no nonsense cafe. The waitress was lovely and friendly and the service second to none. I wish there were more traditional fish and chip shops with seating areas in the UK. It’s a very nice way to enjoy a great British tradition.

Great fishcakes, delishous chips, ordered large portion, it wasn't that large so wouldn't bother with small. Very tasty

Place looks cute and like a classic fish and chips restaurant. But they don’t know how to make fish and chips.

It is a long time since we’ve enjoyed eating Fish & Chips. The best chips and fish we have tasted for a long time. Quality Fish and Chip shop met with our expectation of providing a lovely meal, alongside lovely customer service. We haven’t visited since before Covid and we will most certainly visit again.

Good friendly service but chips and fish batter were soggy. We have been many times before but todays meals were disappointing.

If you want something quality go somewhere else. As if this is a large, what is a small? The taller worker was both rude and inadequate; you asked if I wanted it open or closed and I said “closed please” - so that means: I don’t expect to see chips hanging out of the paper when you hand it to me. Your colleague with the top knot came over to provide some actual customer service and wrap it properly when I asked why you didn’t wrap it properly in the first place; after you told me you “couldn’t wrap it anymore because it already had 2 sheets on it.” When I politely asked you to wrap it more. At this point I should’ve known the Chips would be trash - you could taste the stale oil - I ate a handful and ended up throwing the rest in the bin and walking down to another chip shop: Pier 1 (The chips from pier 1 are night & day to these…) That being said a handful out of these and the portion was almost half gone. So again if you want anything quality go somewhere else.

Great Fish and traditional English Chips. Great for a chip butty.

Great fish amd chips, great cooks and lovely meeting Mary the boss!

Freshly cooked cod & flavoursome chips. Highlight of my week!

Best fish and chips in South West London and has been for many years now!

I bought takeaway fish and chips and cannot recommend. There were fish scales still on the skin which made half the fish batter inedible. I like my fish battered and fried with the skin but not with fish scales. The fish did not taste fresh and the frying and batter was only average. The chips weren't anything to write home about. The shop is old fashioned and not in a good way. The decor is dated as is the packaging material, such as plastic bags and polystyrene pots.

Went there for lunch. Food is super oily.

Food is super oily but okay. The waitress paid more attention to her phone than to us and ordered to normal portions of fish and chips when we specifically asked for two small ones. Would not recommend it

Good fish n chips in a 70s style restaurant. Decor could really be updated
