I walk past this place every day and it is hard to resist going in there every day. I tried to get a picture of the place today but there is a lot of scaffolding blocking everything around it, bridge repair works but they're still open. It looks small from the outside but it is actually quite big when you go inside. They seems to be quite popular in the area as there are always people inside digging into something that smells great from the street. I've had the chicken fillet burger a few times and they're great, not those patty burgers you get at most kebab stores but the real deal. Their chips are pretty good as well, thick cut potatoes in large portions. This would be perfect to grab some food there and head down to the river for a nice lunch out and about! read more

We chose to eat here because it was listed on several searches as having gluten free fish and chips. They do not have that. I did have gluten free grilled fish and a salad. It was very good. The rest of my group had traditional fish and chips and they said those were also good. read more

This pun does do this restaurant justice. This is a great little cafe tucked away under Waterloo railway bridge, opposite the tube station, and has served many a hungry commuter on their way home. Especially those who have recently departed from the Kings Arms on Roupell St. This is the place to get proper old fashioned fish and chips, with lashings of salt and vinegar and wrapped in paper. The staff are friendly, and service is always quick. If you eat in, there's a proper table service with plates and cutlery, but the quality of the food is exactly the same whatever your choice. It's also pretty cheap, and portions are very generous. Soft drinks are slightly overpriced, but that's the only fault I can identify. read more

Does not look like much from the outside, but it's an impressive chippy so close to Waterloo station. They serve good fish and chips, and there is plenty of seating. It's a welcoming place with friendly staff. You will re-emerge smelling strongly of frying, however. But that's more or less a given for most chippies. read more

Best fish and chips I've had in London so far. Great service, friendly environment. We had just landed from the US and they saw us waiting and opened a little early for us. The whole staff was amazing. read more

Blue collar, busman's diner style atmosphere but you won't find more authentic and sizable Fish and Chips any where in London. The place has been around since 1974, so I think that's how they kept their clever name since the disco era. Bright fluorescent lighting, and typical diner style furniture, doesn't make for anything romantic, but it is authentic. I think the large set us back $14 pounds, which I was surprised, especially factoring in the exchange rate, but it was ample enough for 2 people to share. The waitress was very nice and helpful. read more

Definitely the real thing. A huge haddock fillet in excellent crispy batter. Thick chips and mushy peas. The chips and mushy peas didn't do much for me, but the fish was 5-star. read more

Difficulty ordering,language. CASH ONLY otherwise would rate it higher. Fish was great. I had the haddock, my wife had small cod. Both were sizeable portions. The side of mushy peas was good and enough for three. The chips were hand cut but only single fried, hence not very crispy but a huge portion. read more

I really did not have a positive experience here. My friends told me the fish and chips was mediocre at best. I personally got a meat pie and didn't even touch it after the first bite. The service was gruff. I won't be going back. read more

Stopped in for a medium cod fish and chips. Generous portions and the food was great a nice little place convenient to the station

Decoration is quite funny. Cash only, no card. There are free ATM's at the station nearby. Staff was nice. Place is small, but didn't need booking (lunch on weekday). If you're around the area I'd say to go here. I had lost hope on fish & chips but this one was quite good. Was not oily at all, the fish was super soft and well cooked (the only reason I came here was because at the door it said they only bought fish of sustainable fishing and that it came from the Billingstone market. So yeah, recommended. The chips lacked salt but that's easy to solve (just put some salt on it) and not a problem for me. The portions are big enough for a meal so I'd say go for a medium size. Be careful because the price of fish is separated from the chips (because of different sizes) so it's not only £7 to eat here. read more

CASH ONLY! Great fish! Don't be scared by the appearance. Got the cod it was great, chips need a bit of salt though. Good vibes

Greasy fish in a bag, greasy chips with sticks in a bag. More grease. Yum. Plus, how can you not love it- it's name...FISHcoteque. I love this place and miss it. Cheap too. read more

Loved it. Fresh and flavorful. Not at all greasy. Chips were light and crispy. Large portions too. read more

The calamari is a must try here. It was on point, but only comes out in 3 pieces, but they were big. The fish n chip was also good, not too much batter. Love the service there. It's was a young girl that help us out. Also help me with my Uber and not to mention that she was cute, always smiling too. read more

This was by far the worse experience at a resturant I have had in a very long time. Fish was sitting in warmer. This should of been my first tip to run. When fish arrived chips looked bland and tasted even worse. Fish was ok size but was soggy and greasy when it arrived. Cut into piece and grease just poured out. It seemed to me they reheated the fish and chips by trying to refry it. Would never try this place again or send my worse enemy to it. Would rate it lower if possible. Not sure why it's 4* rating comes from. read more

My first fish & chips in London a couple of months ago. I had a cod with chips.. The cod was perfect, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chips were not that good... they looked more boiled than fried. The service was ok, and they were really fast... I guess I could go back to try other variety of fish, and maybe give the chips another shot... read more

If you wonder why the English cuisine has such a bad reputation you should give this one a try. #tasteless

Close to my college and I was in need of a cheer up meal one very rainy cold weekend. Opted to eat in and was brought a large plaice and chips. It wasn't the best in the world, the chips being a little old but the fish was quite good - did seem to be frozen though. I'm going to be at that college for a while longer, not sure if I'll stop in again, there aren't that many options around, but probably going to give others a try. read more

This was my first time getting fish and chips in the UK and it was definitely better than any I've had in the US. As a starter I had the calamari rings, which came as three pieces. I also had the cod, which was one giant piece of fish with a ton of chips. The tartare and ketchup come in plastic packages which is a little bit environmentally unfriendly but otherwise no complaints about this place. The decor is playful and casual. read more

The fish and chips is really nice, and the price is very fair. Location is good too, right next to the main entrance of Waterloo station under the bridge. The Fried chicken is also very delicious. read more

I have to agree with the other reviews: the weak point of this thread restaurant are definitely the fries. The fish was crispy but not particularly outstanding. read more

On a Sunday at noon it can be hard to find a fish and chips shop open, and sure enough the place we wanted to go to take a friend on her first visit to London was closed. This was the closest alternative, but nothing about it lived up to our expectations. The staff are all non-English (not a criticism, but when you go for fish & chips, you kinda want a Cockney accent, rather than an East European one, from your server) and the fish, though apparently fresh, and cooked to order, had absolutely no flavour whatsoever, and neither did the batter. Finally, the pricing is way out of whack, though this is probably no surprise, given its location. Definitely not recommended. read more

Cod fish (£5.95) made upon order. Saw the chef batter the fish in front of us. Even after a 1/2 hour wait to eat it (had to catch the underground) it was still flakey and moist. The calamari (£4.95) was breaded nicely and tender and included a small salad. The chips (£2 or 3) got a little soggy with the travel and could have used a little more salt and malt vinegar. But definitely a step up from the fish place near The London Eye which had heat lamp fish. read more

Says on the door that the fish is delivered daily from Billingsgate. It couldn't get any fresher, fabulous fish and chips as good as you get on holiday. Good value especially given its location opposite Waterloo Station read more

My group and I wanted to grab some fish and chips after going on the London Eye at night. This place was packed when we sat down. The food seemed fresh. They staff was very attentive. They gave our check in the cutest little treasure chest. read more

Having just flown into town and got dropped off at Waterloo station, my girlfriend and I were starving and just happened upon this place. We both enjoyed it and it helped us knock fish and chips off the bucket list for our trip to London! read more

Was recommended by our tour guide. Great place to try fish and chips. Be aware that they are a cash only place.

this place is kind of hidden under a bridge near the waterloo station, but it's not to be missed. cheap fish and chips, large portions of fish, mainly for takeaway. the chips were great, and a small order is HUGE. very wallet-friendly. well-sized chips, perfect for drinking in your hotel room while watching trash on itv. or at least it was perfect while i was drinking in my hotel room watching trash on itv. read more

I was staying in the hotel next door and got the last of their fish and chips before they closed. Solid choice. A wonderful end to my first night in London. read more

Decent at best fish n chips. Bit pricey for what you get in the end. Would probably look elsewhere for better quality for after what you're paying. Food was decent but nothing to write home about. read more

This is a decent place, chips and peas were solid. Sort-of friendly but not really.

Yum yum yum. I so very much recommend this fish and chip place. For years it have been amazing. Never fails to dish up a good battered sausage or two read more

In London for Spring Break and we wanted local fish&chips for dinner. Found this easy peasy right across Waterloo Station. Fresh fish lightly batter fried yum, and thick hot fries quick to the table + interesting (in a good way) diverse clientele and the cutest nicest waitress in a 50's housewife apron. We named the corner decor aquarium fish "Marilyn", "Marlon" and "Dean". read more

Can't say that I'm knowledgable about English fish and chips, but this was a step above the US variety and the couple of London pubs where I've tried the dish The cod was tasty and the batter good and not greasy. I had the salad. It was a nice mix of lettuce cabbage carrots tomato and red onion. Tasty. Good price. read more

Look, I'll level with ya, pal. I went here purely based on the name. I can't even remember what I ate.

Poor cod and chips with a distinct after taste that is still with me 30 minutes later. Cod was overly oily and seemed a very skinny piece. First and last visit! read more

Top notch Fish & Chips. One of the best I have had in London. The Cod was fresh with light crisp batter. The service was friendly and welcoming. Can't understand some of the bad reviews about this place, especially the one about the Rock having a big bone in the middle as that is how Rock is, I never had or seen Rock with no bone, lol. I highly recommend this place and will definitely visit when in Waterloo again. read more

nice place ! Ottimo fish&chips!!! and also the pretty spanish waitress talks italian XD !! che amore! read more

Best fish and chips ever. I have just arrived to London from Sintra, and I have found the place where I can spent my money. OMG delicious.Perfect cooked. big and nice price It was a really good athmosphere, I love 50's music, the outfit of the beautiful spanish waitresses and the decoration of the restaurant. The service excelent, indeed. It was really nice to find those two waitresses who treated me like a Lord. They were all the time looking after me. I really appreciate that. Thanks fiscotheque. I will be back soon. Muito obrigado. Ver você em breve. read more
