The Vintage Fish in Lewisham

Bad experience with the manager.

Ordered from here on the night we were moving out as a treat :-( eaten here a few times before but this time round both battered cods tasted odd & were watery/mushy (gutted!) It’s an expensive chippy, so I called up, starting with “sorry to be difficult but, etc…” The message was relayed to the manager & I could hear him having a mini meltdown & talking to his staff like trash. We didn’t want a refund, we just asked if for a replacement. This obviously didn’t happen & my partner hasn’t eaten cod since. 🥴 (one star for the manager!)

The food here has gone down hill I am disappointed as they user to be the best but not anymore

This fish and chip shop is very expensive for the portion sizes. This was one of the smallest chips portion sizes I have received from a fish and chip shop, and they charge £3.50 for them. Bit of a rip off really.

Best fish & chip shop! These guys deliver on quality every single time and the food is always DELICIOUS!

Absolutely perfect food by far the best scampi and chips I’ve ever had! Will definitely be returning

Horrible!!!The whole order was cold.The chips were very hard and obviously poor quality potatoes.The fish had completely stuck to the paper and resembled mush by the time I got it free.The pie was the best thing in the order, but I had to play find the meat amongst the gravy.Definatly won't order from there again.

Normally this fish shop is Devine but delivery maybe caused food to be recieved cold I had to source other food for myself and 5 children whilst on holiday in London money is tight in general and now seemingly even more tight having to pay for another dinner king prawns was Luke warm too but they was eaten

Best fish and chips in London by far

Mushy peas were absolutely disgusting, curry sauce was nice tasting but should be thicker, pies were ok but nothing exceptional, chips were good, sausages and savaloy reasonable

Best cod and chips for miles, been using this place for years and still the best fish around 👍🏻

Best Rock in ages And the salmon and broccoli fishcake was so tasty Presented nicely in box with homemade tartan for 4.00 what a bargain the chips were tasty.all come in individual boxes. I definitely will be using you again. Well done keep them standards up. Everything was amazing thank you And the chips were tasty and there own made tartan Just had to write this review as so impressed. Definitely order again keep up these hight standar

Been going to this chippy for years, always serve’s the best cod and chips

1st time ordering from here. The food arrived on time and the food was tasty. Missing a part of my order. Overall happy, and would order again.

Best place in the area for F&C. If you order online little wait even on Friday evening always good food

First time I've tried this place, ordered large cod and chips at £14.95. Not cheap , so I expected perfection. I was told it was a ten minute wait. Fair enough as a large piece of fish takes 10 to 12 mins to cook. One thing became obvious, the uber eat orders take priority over walk ins. After 17 to 18 minutes I enquired if my order had been overlooked as 7 or 8 people had been and gone after I had ordered. 2 or 3 minutes later my order was ready. When I got home I noticed 2 small pieces of fish, So I really don't understand the extended wait for large cod. I would say they had forgot my order till I reminded them. It was a mild evening yet the fish was cold by the time I had it on a plate less than 15 mins later . So it wasn't freshly cooked. I will say though the fish was A grade quality, just a shame about the long wait and temperature of the fish, hence only three stars instead of 4 or possibly 5. If I do visit again I will not be ordering large to see the difference in wait time and temperature.

Consistently excellent fish & chips! The staff is friendly and polite, and the shop looks great. The homemade Tartare sauce is also an excellent recent addition.

Ordered via Deliveroo- food arrived cold- haddock, sweet pot fries, and fish cake. Fish cake was more bread than fish and was left uneaten. Haddock was very small. Quality of Vintage Fish seems to be going down. Deliveroo credit was only abt 25% of cost and does not make for the disappointing meal.

I have just had the best cod and chips I have ever had. No joke. Perfection.

Amazing service .Australian style potato “cakes” Made while I waited and they are probably the best I have ever tasted. Fish was crispy and moist as well. Best fish and chips in south london.

I ate my finger's in the process, crispy and fresh! Highly recommended!

Grabbed a take away cod & chips. I pass this place most evenings. Decided to give it a try today. My photo should tell you what I think. The food was still crispy even after my journey home. Fish was moist and flavoursome. Chips fluffy on the inside. Very nice.

I enjoy the friendly staff and the food is always so fresh and taste. Love the prawns and fish bites. Will be trying more of their menu. The chips are the best. Also best tasting sweet patatoe fries.

The fish is really good the batter is delicate and not greasy

Very Nice old fashioned Atmosphere great place to take a break during your travels.

Awesome food ! Great selection.

If you want fish and chips, this is the place for you. I also always get the scampi. They tartar sauce is nice too.

The fish and chips are so fresh and delicious. The service is exceptional. I have recommended this shop to everyone.

Best 👌 fish and chips in London

Great place, best chips I ever had in my life!! I would highly recommend to try them. Excellent customer service and tasty food!! Check out theor decor!! It's just amazing !!

Fresh fish, cod bites are great value. Unfortunately no consistency in what you get, in my second order the regular cod was a third smaller than haddock, so order the haddock only. They do not offer large fish portions and, in another review, they say they can't guarantee the fish size; that is why I will not order again, my local chippy charges 3 pounds more for a large cod which is reasonable...

What a find. We decided to try this place after doing our weekly food shop down the road at the supermarket. So glad we did, the fish is cooked to perfection, and the chips are some of the best we have had in years. The mushy peas are freshly cooked and so good. It might be a little more on the pricey side, compared to your usual establishment, but you get what you pay for. Simply outstanding and is now our goto Fish & Chip place. Can’t wait until next Friday..

This used to be my goto for Fish & Chips but tonight ordered Haddock & Sweet Chips, the Haddock was a slither 3 bites worth and no where near as big as it used to be, the fish was tasty but not good value, the sweet potato chips were tastless and just appeared to be burnt chips sadly. I will try again but it might be awhile.

Gone downhill - been a repeat customer over last year. Recently got food poisoning from the rockfish. Also they recently changed the rockfish supply as used to be different - not sure if that is reason.

Perfect cod and Chips in every way!

Very tasty fish and chips. We took two small cod and they was perfect size! Large chips are super large! The fish was nice and juicy, crispy and no oily. Mashy pies, curry sauce and sausage 10/10. Easy way to order thru website and collect after. Definitely will come back!

Good food and great staff..never been disappointed here.

Best fish and chips in the neighborhood. Seafood platter is also great.

Friendly staff and the best fish and chips I've had recently! Must try homemade cod fishcake!

The Vintage Fish is everything you’d need in a lockdown situation and I’m immensely glad to have discovered them on Deliveroo. I had the haddock and it was brilliantly done. Crispy batter and a fresh flaky bite. Paired with a crisp dry white and you’d be dreaming of sunny days in Brighton. Highly recommend.

Fish is really nice and crispy staff were accommodating removing the skin of our fish after some confusion with the ordering. Vintage fish is now my regular choice for cod and Chip dinner's

The very best around and a great team👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love it very well made, very friendly and honest

Really liked the fish and the staff. Thank you.

Great Fish and chips at the vintage fish. Highly recommended. Regards from Gordon the taxi driver.

This Place is very ugly and the staff are very mean the food was mid

Friendly, nice customer service and most importantly the best fish and chips we’ve had for a long time! I’m from North London so I missed a good fish and chips! 10/10!

This is a neighbourhood place we always count on for quite delicious fish fix, fish bite, spicy chicken wings, and the special chicken burger are all equally delicious!! thanks❤️🇬🇧👍

I was really looking forward to my food as it’s usually fresh and delicious , however tonight what a waste of money ,the rock was dry and tasted like it was cooked twice , and a tiny portion which to be honest it went In the bin , hubby said saveloy was ok but it’s such a shame as I won’t be ordering from vintage fish anymore 😩😩

I think is the best fish and chips really really nice I can’t recommendation everyone thank you very much everyone all the stuff

Excellent Fish & Chips, lovely staff very welcoming & friendly and the food was nicely presented with lemon slice, chopped coriander & little pots of tartare sauce! Will definitely return

Good fish n chip, with a nice salads

The reviews do not lie! Absolutely lush fish and chips from here tonight. Beautifully cooked cod, delicately flavoured, not greasy, crispy chips and not only that but lovingly presented. You will not be disappointed.

The food was very nice & the staff were friendly.

The best Fish & Chips for miles around! Hot, crispy and perfectly cooked. 10/10!!

Value for money. Delicious food.

OmG how can 3 fish and chips cost 50 pounds. Looked for the gold bar but must have forgot to add it. Staff are nice food was OK but not 50 pounds

Best fish and chip shop in the area. Ordered on Deliveroo and been into the shop multiple times. Very friendly staff aswell. Would recommend to everyone

As always my go to take away. Always good quality and such a wonderful team of staff

The best fish & chips ever! They put so much effort im to it, nice packaging, not too oily, super hot food ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Best fish and chips in the area.

First class service I ordered chips in and out in 2 minutes so polite customer focused amazing food too will come again I visit blackheath for work every 4 weeks best chips in London

This is what I received from this fish and chip shop everything was oily and tasted really horrible. Never will I ever eat from here again!!

They got our order wrong but I honestly didn't mind. Because it was the best fish and chips I've had. You can tell the care, quality and thought they've put into it. Love it.

Super friendly staff and fantastic food at very reasonable prices

As some one who grew up on the seaside, it's near impossible to find a chippy that matches the fresh catches of the day. Until now... The best fish and chips I've had in London. Chips perfectly cripsy, cod perfectly cooked and not greasy or soggy. 10/10 a new regular customer.

Excellent! Best fish and chip shop in South London! Staff are attentious and very friendly!

Cod, chip, save loyalty and gherkin. The cod was good, batter was thin and crispy. The chips on the other hand were cooked but not crisp, not my oreference. The saveloy somehow tasted bland, without the normal saveloy taste, ir smell, come to think of it. The gherkin? Well, you can't go wrong with a gherkin. All items were cooked fresh to order. Service was good and friendly. Only giving it 3 stars as the chips should have been crisp and the meal was expensive.

First time in the shop: my husband didn't get his chicken dinner - he never eats fish and chips; and they didn't give us the drinks we paid for. Hope you get what you order!

Took a very long time to get ready. Then gave the wrong food after instruction to avoid the mistake he made. Ignored me entirely - would suggest you avoid.

Fresh fish and chips, friendly staffs. Highly recommended. The best !!

Vintage Fish Blackheath never fails to impress. Delicious fresh food, great portions, super friendly staff in a Spick and span shop- what more could you ask for. Afraid no photos as too keen to tuck in to tasty chips and delicious cod. Perfect mid week or Friday night treat.

Leaving a F&C as if you shopped at a boutique... Their branding is such fashionable and packaging is so cool. I thought my hubby came back with a new handbag for me. We ordered extra large cod and plaice: each fish is placed in a beautiful box with a pod of tartar sauce and a slice of lemon, not like a shower of salt and malt vinegar (I hate that smell). Look at the photos, aren't they beautiful? Crisp, fluff, good control of temperature. Nice fish. I would have given 5 stars if chips are double or triple cooked but unfortunately their chips are ordinary, got soggy by the time we sat at the table whilst fish was gorgeous. Hope their chips are improved by the time we visit again. An impressively new style of business.

Best Fish n Chip shop on London.

Used to be very good (fri 27 Aug) haddock large chips scampi mushy peas and a wally.. 5pm.. this way they know I was at the shop... Just left got home the fish wasn't great rather than pure white it was grey with a fishy smell. Salad with the scampi was brown and rotting.. No mushy peas. Missing from order. The wally was delicious.. But £20 for wally and chips... Must try harder.. A not too happy customer...

Been there a few times. Wont go anywhere else.

Highly recommend the whitebait, and the fish and chips. Use the order ahead option on their website, it's very useful.

The best 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌i won't go anywhere else. Very clean and fresh cooked food !

So nice to have a local fish and chips place with good quality food. Staff was friendly too.

There is an improvement since my last visit.... No doubt they got best Fish.

Excellent fish and chips with friendly service. Can't beat this place!

Nice people good service and fast as well ...from deliveroo driver

Best fish and chips around blackheath area. Large portions!

Delicious fish and chips! Generous portions and fabulous mushy peas. Felt safe ordering and staff are all very friendly

Superb fish and chips! I am sort of on a mission to find the best in London ( not a blogger but out of personal curiosity ) and so far this place and the Mayfair Chippy are my favorites!

Absolutely delicious cod and chips 😋👍

Definitely worth trying. I just ordered from The Vintage Fish on Deliveroo to Catford and was very happy with the quality of the food received. Special recognition to the chipshop curry sauce which is one of the best I've had. Keep up the good work guys.

Amazing food. Would give five stars but it always seems to take way longer than the amount of time they tell you.

One of the best cod's in the area, unfortunately Friday night is so busy that even after we were told the deliveroo driver was in the restaurant it still took an additional hour from the original estimate to deliver. Normal accompaniment of salad / lemon missing and the mushy peas - no idea if these were curry sauce or left over pea juice !! Great place normally but they cannot cope with the Friday rush so try another day!

The best fish and chips Ive ever tasted and consistently good. Good food, well cooked every time. Cant ask for more than that.

Best fish & chips in the area but you need a Covid policy in place - 10 people waiting in small shop tonight is far too many - some without masks! Couriers unmasked! Staff unmasked! Notices should be visible of a strict 2 (?) people waiting in shop at any time. Strict mask policy for ALL should be in place.

Simply the best fish and chips in town.

Genuinely the best fish and chips we've ever had, really fresh, great sized portions and not greasy - will definitely be going back here!

Favourite place to buy fish and chips... Best one so far.

We as a family have tried various Fish and Chip shops in the area and without doubt I can honestly say this one beats the rest. The quality of the fish and potato used is evident in the superior taste. Usually we go for Haddock, the batter is so crispy and light. The chips are crispy and fluffy inside, perfect. The most important thing is they are consistent. I’ve waited after trying them out more than a handful of times to give them a review. Our go to Fish and Chips from now.

Two hour waiting for delivery and it’s still not here. They accept orders they cannot possibly fulfil. A terrible way to treat customers.

Do not order a delivery. They took three hours to deliver. Refused to cancel and refund. Crooks.

Very good quality fish and chips.

I was warmly greeted as soon as I entered, it felt like it wasn’t my first time. I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I wasn’t rushed at all. Once I decided, the service was quick and everyone was just so friendly. Food was also amazing!!!

Vintage fish and chips is a favourite for our kids. Today, they very kindly offered our sports club a free lunch. After a three hour training session, the kids devoured a fantastic lunch on the house. Very friendly staff - the guys go above and beyond for customer satisfaction. Thank you for serving us and keep up the good work!
