Fish & Chips

The best fish and chips in London. The Victorian dining rooms, the family counters that have been frying for sixty years, and the shops the trade's own awards keep naming - in every part of the city, not only the middle of it.

The Fryer's Delight

Beef dripping, formica tables and no concessions to the present day.

Sit-down restaurant

One of the last London chippies frying in beef dripping rather than oil, which gives the batter a savour vegetable oil cannot. The room has not been redecorated in living memory - formica, long benches, a counter - and the menu runs to rock and skate and saveloys alongside the cod. Cash is easier than card. Sources differ on whether it opened in 1958 or 1962; the shop itself says the fifties.
