The Sea Shell Of Lisson Grove in City of London, Westminster

Best fish and chips in London! Minna is the best staff member they’ve had in years, made our visit even better than usual!

Always love coming here travelled a long way for this!! Best dish and chips and served by minna

Wonderful atmosphere. Mina was lovely! Best fish and chips in town

Amazing service and lovely staff. It’s a must 🙏🏾

Seems to have changed, loved going here but the staff on tills are now unfriendly and the chips were dry and over cooked. In fact, we had to throw them away. Such a shame.

Been coming her for years. There’s nowhere better!

You ou need to keep the same staff massive staff turnover

Nostalgia did me over again. Much improved with staffing. Minna, must be new was very friendly and helpful.

Good portions and quick service

Been coming here for years! By far the best fish and chips in London and now travel down from Oxford especially.

I went today with a big group of our friends and honestly it was a very pleasant experience! Food is nice, the atmosphere is good and most important the service was OUTSTANDING!! We were so lucky to have “ Vitalie” as our waiter and hands down he is one of the friendliest and most efficient people I have seen. He was helping 10 of us with so many different dishes and details yet he manage to keep everything smooth and everyone happy. I highly recommend this place for fish lovers!

Shared this delicious lunch with two very good friends, reminiscing about our old palaiseau days. The food was really good, the portions even better, and the staff was adorable. I recommend the pea mash, it is out of this world.

A brightly lit fish and chippy with nice decor especially in the restaurant side. Food looks good but sadly doesn't taste as good. The actual cod was good but the batter lacked any flavour and was a tad on the soggy side. The chips was lacklustre with not a great texture. Mushy peas were more liquidy peas and was devoid of any flavour. Prices were decent all things considered but, personally, I don't think it's a "best of London" fish and chips type place anymore. Maybe 25 years ago...

People are very welcome and kind. Even with new technology to order but in my opinion I do prefer to speak to them.

I had a delicious meal of cod and chips with curry sauce, mushy peas and a double order of tartar sauce. My dining experience was elevated by Minna’s wonderful and cheerful service.

Good fish and chip, you can eat it on the premises

Was recommended this place by my driver and they didn’t disappoint! The haddock is what I got and it was huge! Cooked fresh and was delicious. Nice place to have a chippy meal at. Added some salt and vinegar and it was everything I could ask for, not too greasy. Customer service was awesome too! I will definitely be back. I’d highly recommend this place. Come out and support your local businesses and avoid chains!

Excellent restaurant in central London, definitely the most delicious mussels I've ever eaten, such tender portions... and good prices

Great fish and chips. as ever ; lovey meal. Somewhat overpriced now.

This famous fish & chip shop deserves its excellent reputation. Service in the formal restaurant was welcoming, reasonably swift, and highly responsive. The food is the hero: we enjoyed a scrumptious clam chowder, followed by fresh, tasty cod and chips. A reasonable wine list at good value prices. Takeaway service bar is next door.

Just been here with my friends from Hong Kong before their flight back to Asia. Even we are not in the Restaurant side, it’s still nice and friendly. Love the nice lady to take the order. So nice and friendly - 5 star! Food is nice and fresh. Big portion as well. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff n relaxing dining place☺️ love it

I went there after work to have a cod and chips 5 min after queuing a lady who sort out the boxes to clients said rudely sorry no more orders we are busy , the place is understaffed only one person sorting out the boxes for take away and for dinning in customers and only 1 cashier for such a busy place , the owner of this place wants only to make as much money as they can with minimum spending on staff shame and sorry for the stressed workers there .

Visited with a larger party (13) - very clean, good food.

Loved everything we had, the server was very helpful and friendly. Fish was fresh fresh fresh :)

Fantastic fish and chips in a beautiful restaurant with truly excellent service, our waiter couldn't have been more welcoming and polite. A tad on the expensive side but well worth it for the quality of the food and the experience.

Must visit restaurant in London. Food is delicious. Grilled prawns, mussels and haddock are highly recommended

Amazing cod fish. Must try with the tartar sauce.

Okana was really friendly and gave us good service!!

Very tasty fish & chips in a diner setting. Food was very good, not oily or greasy at all. Only complaint is that the fish broke apart very easily, but not that big deal because it was not too breaded. You basically order at the counter and then pick up your food when it's ready. Minna behind the counter kept things funny and lively while we waited.

For me, it is the best restaurant serving fish and chips in London

My go to for neighbourhood fish & chip, never disappoints!

Best fish and chips in central London and definitely a must go!! One of my favourites would be the grilled cod/haddock. Perfect for a date night or just a casual cravings.

Food was warm rather than hot. Cod was watery. A muddle over chips/salad and beer at £8/pint. I know this is central London but prices are a bit steep. Frankly a little disappointing.

So fresh and delicious-the best fish and chips in London !

Decent chippy, everything cooked fresh to order. Batter was thin and crispy but would say lacked a little flavour, but fish was cooked perfectly!

Not good. Fish tastes like absolutely nothing! Fries limp and unsalted.

Best fish & chips I ever had for this price 🥰

Quiet Tuesday afternoon business lunch Excellent service , beautiful cooked fish in batter and grilled sea bass and sides,though halloumi fries little overcooked

Easy service, food comes out quick, and the cod is massive!

Fish is massive ! Chips are good. Curry sauce is delicious. Definitely come check them out, very solid fish & chip shop

Ordering fish and chips on a McDonald's-like screen was a first. £20 for F&Cs and a soft drink. Decent but pricey. Sitting on raised metal bar stools. No atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Un incontournable de Londres. Le meilleur Fish n chips de la capitale ! If you want to test the best Fish n chips of the city : This is the place !

I recently visited Seashell Restaurant with my family, and we had an exceptional experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a family meal. A special shout-out to our waiter, Jack, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, especially with my nephew. His service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Jack truly made our visit memorable with his amazing service! We’ll definitely be coming back for more great food and fantastic hospitality

It was such a treat to ear here. It is apparently really famous. The service was brilliant. The decor is like a real seaside . Lovely colour scheme. Great London location. Delicious food

Excellent food and friendly staff

1st time I ordered fish and chips. The fish was fresh and delicious. Lovely food. Just to mention they are offering a free curry sauce if you give possitive gooogle review in advance for today. Review without testing food? I got it free anyway because they ain't got change. Thaks for that.

Superbly fresh Haddock, fried to perfection and the chips were spot on!! The service was a little slow considering there was only three tables sitting for lunch but not a big problem Can’t wait to revisit!

Huge portions, great prices, but all soiled due to incredibly rubbery calamari.

The best of the best for food, service and atmosphere … you won’t find ANY better !

was very nice bit cold no salad or tartan sauce otherwise enjoyed and recommend this dish to anyone

Brilliant establishment and the food was fantastic. Katarina is very welcoming and friendly 👍

Great service and lovely fresh fish 🐟

Absolutely loved our experience there! Food was delicious, laid back atmosphere, the staff was great! Couldn't have asked for better! Look forward to going back!

There is a takeaway part or the main restaurant. I went to the takeaway part. There is high seat tables in there so you can 'takeaway' but dine in too which is what I did as were many others. Menu is good (less than the main restaurant menu but has a big variety). The restaurant part is more formal. I went with the scampi and new potato. Order at the counter and they will call your number when ready. At 18:45 on a Saturday evening, it was busy but not too much. Nice place. Clean. Portion size is perfect for one. Mine took a bit longer than other customers as I went with the scampi and new potato but worth the wait. So good. Freshly made and presented in a cardboard box like I was at the seaside! Delicious and not greasy. There is disposable cutlery on the tables. Any sides and sauces like mushy peas or curry sauce are an additional cost. Would recommend. Located near Marylebone Station. Not easy to find unless you know the area but worth a stop for sure if you are in the area. Recommended by Time Out. Not too pricey. My difference between a 4 and 5 is staff could be friendlier.

Good traditional foods slightly expensive

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the menu was varied and the food was excellent. The best fish and chips in London.

2 large fish and chips 40 pounds. It was ok and nice. Not special, but not bad either.

Lovely fresh fish- well cooked and well seasoned. The batter was light and crispy and delicious. They also grill fish if you want to be healthy. Sides were nice too- a choice of either chunky or skinny chips, boiled or mashed potatoes. The grilled vegetables were lovely and the mushy peas were freshly made and good. Service was quick and friendly. Would recommend.

Lovely meaty halibut in a light crispy batter. Excellent. Everything nice and hot. Service was excellent

Second time we've been back here, excellent again. The food is great, the staff have personality and care about your experience and the whole thing just works.

If you like a decent meal of fish & chips, then you are at the right place. BUT, if you want a good or great level of fish & chips, then sadly I this place isn’t the one! I ordered the large fish with chips, with curry & tartare sauce. When I received my order, I noticed that my cod had skin on when I had asked for it to be off & it even mentioned it on the receipt. So when I let the young man know about it he just said “sorry” but never offed if I wanted it changed to skinless. I didn’t want to make it on issue, so I just took it without insisting on new fish. The large cod was large and freshly fried. The batter on fish was nice non-oily with the exception there were some soggy parts. The cod inside tasted nice. The chips were just about ok. They could have been cooked for a few more minutes, as there wasn’t really any crisp to them & some seemed quite dry and mushy. They were not oily which was good & the oil they were cooking with seemed like it was new & clean. The curry sauce was too watery and not thick enough for my liking. Flavour and spice wasn’t bad though. With a drink the bill came to £20, which is nowadays the normal price, especially in central. Next to the counter there is a selection of sauces which you help yourself to. I would go back there again, but not in a hurry at all. The seating outside which is where I ate, was pleasant and relaxing.

Amazing food and service always excellent

One of the best Fish and Chips in Central London !

We were there on a very slow night, and it was extremely quiet, but the service was excellent, and the fish was good. The chips were very good, and done correctly. We'll definitely return.

Very lovely restaurant ! The food is fresh and very clean! The staff attitude is wonderful and really created a warm atmosphere.

Yikes, was expecting so much better. We obviously got there at a bad time for them - My first 4 choices on the menu "weren't available" - I really think that they just didn't have time or inclination to cook them. When we eventually found something available (a pretty naff fish roll), the waiter asked if it was OK to bring the starter out with the main? (Why?) Another staff member was re-stocking the cutlery canteen for almost all of the duration of our meal - and trust me, he had no idea just how much racket he was making. Or if he did, then even worse! (Why not do this in the afternoon after the lunch shift?). We eat out quite often, and kinda know where to set our expectations - I didn't have this one down as being one of the worst dining experiences I've had in the past decade. I will never go back, and would only ever recommend this place to my worse enemy.

The service is very good and the customer service is great as the food is absolutely amazing

It took me a while to find the name of this place, but I finally succeeded so I can review. FABULOUS Fish and chips. The young lady behind the counter Sep 25, 2023 was cheerful and fun to talk to. We didn't have to wait long for our meal as we arrived after dinner hour, and OMG, the food...I can still remember staring down at the fried fish and thinking I have a huge appetite and this meal is PERFECT for me. The taste was wonderful. Everything you hope to find when experiencing your first official British fish and chips meal in London. I'm going back in 2025, and I've already added this spot to my list of places to eat when I take my daughter next year. I highly recommend this place!

Fish and chips evening: good food (perhaps spicy is used too much) and an informal but pleasant environment. Personally I didn't mind it and I plan to return if I have the opportunity.

Excellent fish & chips, very competitive prices, some difficulty in understanding each other with the cashier, slightly long wait to receive the ordered products.

The best service and food that I have ever had in London

friendly staff from Ukraine !!!

Top quality food and exceptional service!

Legendary place!! Food is cooked fresh always and great variety of options. Portions are good and befall excellent value. Always a place to sit down inside and eat. Always a london cabbie ordering so must be good!!!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and food but we were the only people in the restaurant.

I ordered cod fish and chips. The quality was average, not a good bargain at £25.

Took my friend and our partners out on Saturday for a birthday dinner. We had never been here before, it was a fantastic choice. I do not eat fish but my friend loves it so i booked knowing there would be one alternate dish. My guests had the fish cake, salmon, cod and chips, i had the chicken. They also had the king prawns and some ice cream during the course of the evening. Everyone enjoyed every course and couldn't find fault. I liked that the tables were not crammed in, it felt more relaxed and pleasant. The staff were amazing, attentive, remembered a 4 person order with no notepad or electronic device. One even took photos for us before we left. We had a great time, and it cost us just over £160 for 3 courses for most of us plus drinks for the evening. They do not add service charge, you can choose to this, which i always think is the right approach. Would highly recommend, even the takeaway shop at the front has some seating. Great place

It's super expensive, but the portion sizes are huge, and the fish (both cod and haddock) and chips are excellent. Loved the curry sauce, too! Will definitely be back.

Fabulous interior, friendly staff and delicious fish and chips.

Fun decor. Friendly service. Average fish, good chips, but at £25 not a bargain. Toasted bread basket at £4 should be white sliced with butter for much less! Next time will eat at the high tables in the fish & chip shop side.

I wanted some fish & chips , something British, I chose this restaurant for this particular craving. My choice was perfect ! Excellent haddock, beer batter, triple cooked fries. Also very good appetizers! Excellent speed in serving also! Very knowledgeable waiter!

Great Fish & Chip shop. No messing around, straight to the point. Will always return.

I ate from this restaurant twice 😂 God willing, good health to us and you Pass it delicious I fell on him by accident, but I swear he is a hero Take cod with potatoes Grilled seabass 😍😍😍

The food is really good but it is soooo slow. Absolutely no hustle from the staff even with a full restaurant

Awesome fish and chips. The best I've had in London in a long while. Definitely recommend to have a pint in the bar opposite while you wait as service is slow. But can't fault the food.

This was my long awaited return to Sea Shell after about 35 years. I only recently heard it was still there and doing well. It was even better than I remember and my family were very impressed and happy with everything. It was a special weekend for the family in London and it was probably the highlight of our weekend.

Great chips and sausage. Only thing was i paid for large portion and didnt even get a regular size portion.

Perfect lunch in a trendy decor, a huge octopus on the bar. Some meze at fiest followed by fish & chips, haddock and grilled sea bass. Excellent dishes, very quck served!

This place is absolutely lovely, it has the best chips in London, and the staff are super friendly

Delicious and fresh fish! Yummy fish and chips :)

Atmosphere is great and well worth a visit for that alone. The food was so so. The cod a bit too wet. Good cod is flaky and more white colour. The batter on the fish was good, crispy but not oily. The food was served fresh and piping hot. Service a little slow - approx 10 mins from order to ready. Hygiene was good but could have been better.

All good, quick and delicious. Nice staff

Delicious food and great portions!

This is not a restaurant. It’s more like a fast food place. Both fish and chips were not crispy. My fish (haddock) did not taste fresh.
