Located about 0.3 miles from our hotel in the Camden area. Came in without a reservation but was…read moreseated right away. We were craving for fish and chips which is a staple or must have when in London. Each main fish course comes with unlimited chips or baked potatoes and we opted for the chips. We had the following: - cod fillet - haddock fillet - soup of the day which was the tomato bisque - prawn tempura - calamari - coke zero - regular coke It's strange how the regular coke cost £1 more than the coke zero. For a group of 4, we planned to have the North Seafood platter which comprises of cod and Haddock bites, Calamari, Prawns, Sardines, Scampi, Salt and Pepper Squid for £44.00 but our server insisted that it's only good for 2 people. That serving really was big but as per the lady server it's only good for 2 so we ended up getting individual plates. We also overheard the same lady server insisted on what the other table should order stating that serving is too small for that other table. In fairness, food was really good. We just didn't like the fact that the server was insisting what we should and should not order.

Of course have to order the fish and chip! Waitress explain the different fish we can order. I order the COD and wife got Haddock as suggested by the waitress.

Sussex Fish Bar - A Disappointing Dive Near Paddington Station…read more When in England, indulging in fish and chips is a must, and we were excited to finally try this iconic dish. Unfortunately, our visit to Sussex Fish Bar turned into an experience we'd rather forget. We arrived around 9:30 PM, tired and starving after a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant wasn't crowded, and we were seated promptly. The menu is quite limited, which we initially took as a positive sign, assuming the kitchen focused on quality rather than quantity. However, this assumption was quickly dashed. Our group of five ordered two portions of fish and chips, two mixed platters, and a two-piece fried chicken. The fish and chips and mixed platters came out quickly and were decent--nothing extraordinary but satisfying enough for our hunger. However, the fried chicken became the source of frustration. Over 15 minutes passed, and there was still no sign of the chicken. We followed up with the waiter, who admitted he had forgotten the order. Despite repeated reminders and visible tension between the waiter and the kitchen staff, it took another five minutes for the chicken to arrive. By then, the person who ordered it had completely lost their appetite. What made the situation worse was the lack of an apology or any effort to make amends. Not only was there no acknowledgment of their mistake, but they also had the audacity to insist on charging us for the untouched chicken that remained on the table. To add insult to injury, the restaurant's front door wouldn't close properly, letting in an icy draft on a cold and windy night. When we attempted to adjust the door, we were scolded by the staff--adding to an already miserable dining experience. In summary: * Service was disorganized and inattentive. * No accountability or courtesy shown for mistakes. * Ambience was uncomfortable, with a freezing draft and unwelcoming staff behavior. This place doesn't even deserve a single star. If you're in the Paddington area and craving fish and chips, do yourself a favor and avoid Sussex Fish Bar. Save your time, money, and mood by dining elsewhere. The lack of pictures to post with this review is a classic proof that we were famish and devoured our food the moment it was served on our table, but also good since we had no desire to recommend this place anyway, a tourist trap!

First meal in London? Fish & Chips of course!…read more Friendly, efficient service from a one-man shop. There was a slow flow of customers coming in to place orders for take-away. The fish and chips appear to be fried to order. Our food was piping hot and delicious. We had to stand under a tree to eat because it had started raining while we were in the shop. The crust on the fish was the best that we've ever experienced. The Cod was hot and flakey as it should be. An excellent value!

We had a great casual lunch at Poppies when we were in London last month, a satisfying meal of fish…read moreand chips and beer. Poppies has four locations, but this one on Hanbury Street by Spitalfields Market is the original. We were able to make an online reservation for six like an hour ahead of a Thursday lunchtime visit. We could've walked in, but the restaurant was fairly busy. The space was great, small and fun with a retro American diner aesthetic. There was a jukebox in one corner and tons of knick-knacks and memorabilia on the walls. We were with my parents and our boys, and the vibe was very easy and kid-friendly. We had a young, friendly server who wanted to talk to us about America, where he hoped to study. He was a bright-eyed sweetie, and he took very good care of us. We drank Poppies Pale Ale, which was on tap and quite refreshing on a hot day. And of course, we had lots of fish and chips. We tried both the haddock and the cod, which cost a dollar more. Our waiter said he personally preferred the haddock, and all of us ended up agreeing, though honestly both were delicious, flaky and flavorful, the batter light and crispy. The chips were great, as was the house tartar sauce. We also got sides of garden peas and sliced gherkins, which were both lovely. My kids had fish bites and fries. If you're looking for a chippy (love that word) on this side of London, I'd highly recommend checking out Poppies. It's a welcoming place with excellent fish and chips, exactly what we wanted for lunch that day.

We got the special of the day the lemon sole. Service was super fast. Since they do high volume the fish was already fried but it was very hot when we ate it. The batter was crispy and light.

The…read moredining area is simple and fairly small, so it could be challenging for someone using a wheelchair, but the staff were incredibly friendly and happy to offer recommendations. One of the highlights was watching our meal being prepared right behind the counter. We saw the chef batter each piece of fish by hand before lowering it into the fryer, which made it clear everything was cooked fresh to order. We ordered both the cod and the halibut. I preferred the cod for its milder, delicate flavor, while my husband enjoyed the halibut's richer, more pronounced taste. Both were perfectly cooked with light, crispy batter and flaky fish inside. If you're looking for excellent, freshly prepared fish and chips without the fuss, The Laughing Halibut is absolutely worth a visit. We'd happily come back.
