Nice small local fish n chips shop, best cod bites ive ever had. Well priced based on portions. Simple ordering process. Banging chips and lovely friendly staff. Best fish and chip shop by far.

The owner guy here is super nice and friendly! I ordered a regular cod fish, and I got the large cod and also the chips for service :D I had a happy dinner watching tv with this fish&chips adding my own salad, tartar sauce, and coke. Maybe this is the 4th fish and chips that I had in London, and I've been to expensive restaurants for it but the taste not so different. Thank you so much!

Ordering here was a whole experience. The staff and customers were both hilarious. I guess we just chose the right time to go. The food was great with filling portions. I got the large cod and chips.

This is mine and my family's regular spot for fish and chips along with several other menu items. Their fish and chips is always very good. The other is their halal battered sausage, fish cake and chips for £5 (price at the time of writing this review) is another very good option to get. Whenever the siblings go they get their quarter pounder with cheese and fried onions and their wings regularly. The shop is always busy and the staff are very friendly and professional. Highly recommended place if you like your fish and chips.

Ultra great portion of chips with a nicely fried cod for £10. Pretty good deal.

As the name suggests, it’s simply the best Fish Bar in Haggerston. Or at least in the top three of all time. The chap in there was a real delight and held up to our giggly silly nature, by letting us salt and vinegar our own chips while doing a great job “jujjing them” (shuttling them up and now). Free tomato ketchup and mayo, yes please! Highly recommend (and for even more so if you want to have the surprise treat of ordering “Rock” off the menu).
