Really impressive fish and chips place. I never knew for sure what fish and chips were. Now. I know they can be fresh fish breaded and fried to order with actual sliced potato fries. This place does it right, friendly staff as well. No complaints. Highly recommended for Americans. read more

The fish and chips were perfectly cooked and had incredible flavor. The host was very nice and accommodating even with a busy crowd.

We stumbled upon this place by accident, when we were a little lost, thirsty and hungry. There wasn't anyone else in there, so we were a little wary, but it looked cute and authentic. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming, even though we only ordered one plate of fish and chips to split between the three of us. What a pleasant surprise! The fish was fresh and perfectly battered. The chips were crispy but soft on the inside. Delicious! Very comfortable outdoor table in the shade. I definitely recommend! read more

Really amazing smoke with the chili! Such a great flavor. The fries were okay, but it was all about the sausage!

Found this little establishment really by default late on a Friday night. Queues were so long everywhere else and we were tired and hungry and there were not too many people inside. We really reluctantly went in and ordered a few things. The food once it came out , was so good that we ordered more fish and chips! We had a few different types of fish and calamari. Also tried pretty much every side. Maybe because we had low expectations, but the fish and chips were quite good! read more

Super friendly staff and most delicious fish and chips , he cooks them right upon your order and they come out really crispy and delicious . Great experience read more

Ben's Fish and Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

This place is a great "hole in the wall" near theaters. Fish and chips were great and half the price of everywhere else. Staff was friendly. Fish and chips on a budget??? This is the spot read more

OK, this was pretty good. We were not sure if the hours were right when we looked it up on line so we called and we were told that they did stay open to 11. However when we got there at around 10:20pm they were starting to close down and we couldn't dine in. So we had to take our food to go. We did get our hankering taken care of for our fish and chips in London. We ordered the halibut versus the cod and it was delicious. It was fried perfectly in a fish and chips manner and the fries were good. We kept trying to get the malt vinegar on the side but they really didn't understand what we were asking for and eventually gave us packets. We were just wanting the packets to begin with. So we got those left and took an Uber back to our hotel. Yes we should've just gotten DoorDash. But little did we know getting there 40 minutes in advance we would not be able to eat inside the restaurant. This is a small place with about six or so tables but there were tables and we really could have eaten inside but we kind of learned in London that they close when they say they're going to close and they want no parts of you lingering past closing time. So if you were in town and you really want a quick hit for fish and chips, this is it. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and it was still hot and crunchy when we got back to our hotel. read more

After a day of museums, I was hungry for some fish and chips, so I popped into Ben's. They have three types of fish on the menu, but upon ordering, was told that the only option for the night was haddock. A bit of a disappointment, but I remained and watched my fish and chips be cooked fresh. When my fish arrived, it was good. It tasted fresh out of the fryer (because it was) and portions were decent for the price. For a fresh-cooked meal, I was in and out of there pretty quickly. The food was quite good and relatively inexpensive, but not learning that two types of fish were out of stock until ordering was quite a disappointment and I would have appreciated a sign or other warning. read more

Ben's Fish and Chips - Order of haddock and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

It's a small, quaint traditional Fish and Chips shop located in Covent Garden. Fresh fish and chips are cooked on a daily basis, so whenever they serve, it's hot. Their fish is nicely coated with its batter, not too thick, just the right amount. The crispiness of the batter compliments the softness of the fish inside it. The chips, we asked for it to be cooked a little bit longer so it's a little crispy, compared to the usual slightly cooked softness it gives. Unfortunately our request wasn't granted. So if you have any special requests, i would suggest to remind the servers. Although it's a small restaurant, it offers seating in the basement as well as outside the store. For its price and location, it's reasonable, especially if you're only visiting London. read more

I visited because its rate seemed great, and it didn't disappoint me. The owner seemed very kind and welcoming us as tourists. I don't know a lot about the fish and chips, but I heard it somewhere that some places put vinegar over the fries. I really liked this style instead of ketchup. I miss it!

Ben's Fish and Chips - Fish and chips. - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

This place was awesome. In my mind before I ever went to London, this is exactly what I had in my mind. The fish was awesome, the fries (chips) were so good as well. The Yelp map was off so we couldn't find where we were going. It had us about 1 block away and as the owner was trying to tell me where to go, man I was so lost. I could just give him a landmark. So he came out and walked to where I was at to guide me. That was 5 star right there. Then we got there and asked him to give us the popular dishes and boy those fish and chips were freakin amazing. I dont have much to compare it to other than some quick spots I found, but this was by far THE BEST!!! If I ever come back to London, this will be my first stop for sure!! read more

Ben's Fish and Chips - Goodness! - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

Best, authentic fish and chips ever! We stopped by while staying at a nearby hotel in Covent Garden. Fresh cod, perfect amount of crisp, golden batter- not at all soggy or greasy. Chips were spot on, not overly-salted. Simple, expertly prepared, and made with love. It's truly a family-run restaurant (the entire family was there the night we were there!), couldn't be more warm and welcoming. My teenage daughter said the evening restored her faith in humanity. read more

On our way to Covent garden from the British museum, we paid a visit to this restaurant because I was curious to try fish and chips at a highly rated restaurant. Also because I wanted my friend from Switzerland to experience authentic fish and chips! When we arrived at the restaurant, I felt a bit unsure because it looked a bit tatty from outside. But once I got into the restaurant, it was clean, much to my relief! (You can't judge a book from its cover!) The staff were kind and polite. The portions were fantastic. It was also delicious and well cooked. The meal itself was not too heavy nor oily for fried fish. It was good to experience my first fish and chips at Ben's! Thank you! read more

We stopped in here after getting off the hop on, hope off bus tour. Walking in I realized right away this would not be the most amazing fish and chips of my life. The food: We had one order of cod fish and chips, and one order of haddock fish and chips. (£9.90 for each) Both were deep fried but not to the point that they were crispy. The fish was OK but not very flavorful. The chips were barely warm and their ketchup was not your standard ketchup. It was more of a ketchup / sweet & sour sauce hybrid. It was light red in color and very runny. The beverages: We order 2 cokes which the menu labeled as bottles but we received cans. The ambiance / décor: Extremely basic and dated. They have flag posters on the walls you might expect to see in an elementary school. The service: Our server was short with us at first but warmed up slightly when we asked for the bill. Overall, not very good fish and chips for the price. read more

Delicious, flakey, just what we were looking for! Shop is small and can get very busy quickly.

Wanted to grab some fish and chips while in London and Benz was close by and did not disappoint. Hand carved french fries in perfectly fried fish was amazing. read more

Nice little Mom&Pop place. A co worker of mine in the US(who is from the UK) gave me £30 and told me have some fish and chips and a beer on her. This is where I spent it. We had a nice little table outside on the sidewalk and even though I fighting a cold, I enjoyed a beer with my meal. This was my first time having fish and chips in the UK. I really enjoyed this little cafe and the area it was in. read more

Giving this 5 stars for what it is. Cash only family run (I think) Fish 'n Chips place. The fish was amazing (as were the chips) and tasted SO fresh. Affordable and cute/quaint. NOT fancy, but I would definitely go again and would definitely recommend. One of the best meals in London actually. read more

We ordered the cod fish and chips. The fish was a little oily and the skin was fishy. Once I removed the skin the fish tasted much better. The batter was think and crunchy but eventually was super oily and soggy at the bottom. The restaurant is small but service was good. read more

Classic fish and chips - fish was perfect. We all ordered our own arriving but definitely could share. Owner made sure we were comfortably seated and served us. Great late night spot! read more

My daughters and I stumbled upon Ben's for some fish and chips. Nothing fancy about this little place but it's clean, serves fresh food and the service is EXCELLENT! Jacob the owner suggested we start with one piece of fish each and he would make more if we ate it all. The fish portion is big and served fresh and pippin hot and more than enough. The credit machine was down and I didn't have any cash on me so I went looking for an ATM and left my daughters behind as collateral. The ATM did not work and I lost track of time as I explored the lively area looking for another ATM. Jacob the owner found me and explained my daughter was worried about me. We rushed back and I never did get any British pounds. Jacob said don't worry about the bill and more importantly take care of your kids and enjoy the rest of the night in London. Luckily my friends showed up and we insisted on paying with USD cash which he accepted. That was super nice of Jacob and you can tell he loves his restaurant and patrons. Thumbs up for great service! read more

This is an awesome addition to the local fish and chips scene! Ben's features light breading, fluffy fish, and non-greasy chips. (Beware: One bite leads to another; I probably ate more than I should!) It has an extensive menu, featuring multiple varieties of fish and chips as well as meat pies and sides. Service is fast and friendly. Eat in or takeaway. My only criticism would be that they didn't seem to have ketchup (at least, not readily available.) But then, I'm American. :-) And there was certainly plenty of malt vinegar. read more

I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service here. It took about 10 - 15 minutes for the food to come, but they battered and fried the cod fresh, they fried the chips fresh and it was all awesome. read more

Ben's Fish and Chips - (Cod) fish and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

This place was delicious. I grew up in England but moved to the US 30 years ago. The chicken & mushroom pie and chips was nostalgic and delicious. The owner was super friendly and the food came out fast. Highly recommend. read more

Let me start by saying I'm a huge fan of Fish and Chips. This Is like my go-to entree, whenever I luckily see it on the menu. This was my first time trying Fish and Chips in London. This place is a fast casual restaurant with a few seatings inside but I ordered take-away and ate it at a nearby bench. The cod fish was good but you can tell it has been sitting out for quite some time. There was a lot of meat and the breading was wonderful, not too overwhelming. Just wish that I had it fresh off the fryer. Let me also mentioned that I came in at an awkward time during the weekday. The staff was friendly, polite and very generous with the sauces. Overall, everything is great. It just wasn't what I had expected for my first experience of Fish and Chips in The UK. Definitely will give this place another chance, if I am ever in the area again. read more

Tried this place for the first time today, and they are definitely worth a visit. Firstly, prices are much better that the nearby alternatives, secondly the food is good! The fish was cooked fresh, which did mean a bit of a wait but I'd rather that then something that's been sitting under a heat lamp. The fish was soft and flaky, and the batter was light, but for me it was the chips that stood out, they tasted great and are standard proper chip shop chips. I'll definitely be back here as it's so close to my work! read more

Bens serves the real deal fish and chips. Both were fresh and perfectly cooked. Small place with great food!

Excellent! Fresh full chips. Fresh fish. Clean oil. It's like you used to get in so many U.K. Shops 20-30 years ago, but with friendlier service. Not sure what to make of uneven reports of this place. There are so many mediocre and even bad F&C these days almost everywhere. This is definitely not one of those. read more
