So when in London, you must have fish and chips..Right!?? My friends and family recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Several locations in London, we wanted to try it out here. Large restaurant, servers are friendly and uniforms are super cute. I ordered cod and chips and a side of mashy peas. It was nice, the fish was cooked well not too greasy, fish was nice and flakey, and the batter was just right not too thick or thin. The chip were also nice went well with the fish. The mashy peas was ok, was never a fan but it was nice to have some type of green with the meal. I'm pretty sure London has millions of fish and chips places, Im glad we tried this place out. read more

Poppies is a staple in London for Fish and Chips and is a must visit! The fish is extremely tasty and the batter is very flaky. I have given a 4/5 review because the chips were a bit too soggy for my liking and were not nearly as good as the fish. read more

Really not sure how this place has 4 stars. It's just your average fish and chips, nothing beyond. The chips weren't very cripsy and the fish was just okay, there was no seasoning or anything.. The little bottles of ketchup and tartar sauce were way to small and made it extremely hard to dip into. The mushy peas weren't great in my opinion, but I'm not a big fan of mushy things to begin with. My boyfriend is a fan of mushy peas and he mentioned that he's had better elsewhere. Service here was decent and our waitress was prompt in taking orders, and getting the bill even though it was pretty full. read more

Not much of a fan of fish n chips but this place was really bomb! Soooo good! Me and a friend shared and it was big enough for the both of us! Come early because they tend to get a big line, thankfully we came right when it opened and got our food right on time. Not long after there was a long wait. Will come back if I'm back in the future. read more

Based on Yelp review had lunch here. Shared the halibut fish and chips. Delicious. I must state the best fish and chips I've had in the UK. Try the Camden Pale Ale. Recommend if in the area read more

"The cod fish & chips were meaty! It was one large piece with a plate full of chips. The employees were nice, and they were accomodating to my friend's peanut allergy. They fry their fish in peanut oil, so unfortunately she did have any. The waiters recommended a grilled fish that my friend loved. We also shared the steak pie with a side of mushy peas. The pie was great! I really liked the sauce that was in there. The mushy peas do not look appetizing, but it tasted good. The restaurant is rather large, and contained a full bar. They also had live music the night we were there, which was a Thursday night." read more

I got takeaway from here. I like the style of the place. I got the cod and chips. They were nice and hot. The fish was big and tasted good and the chips were ok. Not a bad place if you have a craving for fish and chips. read more

Best fish & chips I've ever had! You don't disappoint London! The server was friendly and described the differences between cod (plump & flaky) versus haddock (flat & more fishy) and the size order between regular and large. We ended up getting one of each, regular size, with a side of curry sauce and gherkin (pickle). Yes, yes, yes! read more

I went right when they opened and was the second person in the restaurant. That being said, the fish was being fried as I got in, and everything was made quickly. The mushy peas are actually a nice dip for the chips. And the fish is flaky and light. The batter isn't too heavy or greasy, so you don't feel weighed down after eating it. This place is a staple! read more

The place to go for nice ( a bit pricy) fish and chips in London! The "after war" atmosphere with retro music in the restaurant is really nice and makes it unique. The food itself is ok, good and fat obviously. It's a nice place to go if you're around Camden town read more

I finally got to try the traditional cod bites and chips kid's lunch (£4.95) from @poppysfishandchips which is located in Camden Town! It is right near Camden Town tube station which is on the Northern Line. The location of Poppies may somewhat seem hidden, but the signs that it has put on the streets definitely helped me navigate towards the restaurant. On to the food... Even though I only got the kid's lunch, I still thought the portion of this meal was just right for me. I actually wonder how big the regular sized one is if this one filled me up! The cod fish was nicely cooked with a crunchy coat. This restaurant even served its fries with a homemade ketchup sauce! It is super delicious and definitely worth a try. read more

So glad I got to try Poppies during my visit to London. Tried the cod fish and chips and the fish was so juiced and the chips just hit the spot. We also tried the toffee sticky pudding... Definitely with getting. Next time I'm in London I'm coming again! read more

Excellent takeaway haddock and chips. The portions were huge for the price. The haddock was fried with the skin on which added a different touch to others we've tried in the UK. Poppies lived up to the reputation. read more

The best fish and chips we have had in London -- hands down! The vintage vibe here is cool and fun too. They serve 2 kinds of fish here, haddock and the traditional cod. Both are sourced sustainably, but to my taste the haddock was more flavourful and delicious. Both cod and haddock were fried perfectly in a light crispy batter and served piping hot. Mushy peas were better than most, but we would he likes some mint in them for a bit of zing. We think Poppies compared very favorably to The Golden Hind, but the superior flavour of the haddock at Poppies nipped the old Marylebone High Street institution. read more

We were in Camden and didn't know where to dine! Luckily we came across Poppies! This was truly my favorite place in the UK to dine. The fish and chips were so delicious!! I was so impressed. The waiter amazing also. Place was clean and had a good vibe! Truly and unforgettable experience! So happy I found Poppies read more

While vacationing in London, met up with a friend at Poppies for some good fish and chips! Definitely did not disappoint! Portions are big, chips are yummy and fish is definitely delicious! Mind you this was my only experience of fish and chips in London, but it was a great one! I just ordered the basic cod fish and chips for 13-15£ (can't remember exactly...) and a cream soda. The breeding on the fish was great because it didn't flake off nor was it greasy. The fish was cooked perfectly as I tend to find fish and chips at other places tend to over cook the fish and it can become dry. The best part that earned the 5 stars was the free entertainment on Friday night! What a great band singing oldies! Fabulous! read more

Rotisserie half chicken is crazy expensive - and dry and bland tasting. Really disappointing and the crisps are soggy when delivered and the toffee pudding had no sauce and was over £7. Please don't throw away your money here! read more

The restaurant features lots of retro and vintage posters and items, so it was an interesting theme for a fish and chip shop. The fish and chips were good, but a tad pricey. (It is a large portion and not dry). Mainly lots of tourists will be onsite, as it's near the Camden Stables Market. As we sat upstairs, the staff don't come up as often, so the service are slower if you are sitting upstairs, and they might be a communication issue on the status of your food and drinks. However, after chatting with some of the locals, they like Poppies as well... read more

Sad to see such rude service . We got there at 10:22pm after theatre (closing time was 11pm). We were immediately told we probably had not enough time to eat and it was made clear by our very sour waitress that she would be better off if we left. We were them told that OUTSIDE FOOD is frowned upon- just to be clear, we had a small box of packed chocolates and half empty water bottles which we were carrying . Not exactly bringing in outside food! The service was pathetic throughout : in giving us the food tree and giving us the bill - no enquirers or god forbid a smile. Another party came in just before 10:30p and the waitress basically had an aneurism . Sensing the unwelcome mat, They left. And to cap it all, they put in a mandatory service charge to the bill?! When I pointed that out the manager offered to take it away (we declined this as way too little too late) I wish I could say the food rescued the experience but...The chips had been heating away under a lamp and were NOT fried fresh. The fish was crisp but had a strong baking soda taste in the batter and taste or freshness was was no more than adequate. With better service this would be 3 stars. As it stood, 1 star is philanthropy. read more

Nice venue with a 50's vibe, friendly staff keen to seat and attend to your needs, but let down by the food (in my opinion) and the price. It aggrieves me to know that many visitors to our shores will come to this place for an authentic experience. The option of newspaper with your food may be the closest they get. For my £20 plus optional 12.5% service charge I had (sit down) Large Haddock, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a cup of tea. Haddock, nice enough "batter", but fish overcooked in my opinion, almost to the point of having the same texture as chicken breast. An un-PC as it may sound, not oily enough but obviously "healthier". Chips, uniformly squared edges, harrumph. The cardinal sin when serving fish and chips is NO SCRAPS., the tiny, crispy, bobbles of cooked batter that fall off the fish into the fryer. It was enjoyable, but I left really, really disappointed. I expect I really just wanted to be in Bridlington or Filey on the east Yorkshire cost, but that was not their fault. For the price most people might prefer to go elsewhere. PS - What really brought a smile to my face, being British and of a certain age, what the single Fruit Salad and Black Jack chews with the bill. read more

My cousin told us to try fish and chips at Camden Market so we ended up at the Poppies outpost there yesterday. After seeing they had the best fish and chips in London three years ago we simply couldn't say no! I went with the bites and chips and my husband had the cod and chips. Both were delicious and I thought the bites were an awesome deal! I usually not a fan of what we call "steak fries" back home but Poppies does this type of fry quite well! While it's a chain I think Poppies is definitely worth a visit if you're searching for the perfect fish and chips while visiting London! read more

Coming from New England, I've had my fair share of fish and chips. So when I tried these, I was surprised how different the test was. The chips were completely different as in they were really like fries but they were delicious! The fish on the other hand, was perfectly fried and tasted pretty good. The only thing I would say is they did not give enough condiments to put on the fish and chips read more

Just delicious. Staff was attentive and seemed sincerely surprised to get a 25% tip--that's how we roll in Vegas. One of the bests fish and chips, ever, and appreciated the American-style ketchup for the chips/fries. Cocktail was solid, atmosphere was relaxed and casual. Top notch everything! read more

It was yummy!! The tarter sauce is excellent. I'm such a sucker for yummy food. Everything I had was excellent. Do yourself a favor and try the fish and chips! read more

They're not open until midnight in Camden town. They close at 10. I made a reservation for 9 for 6 people and we were rushed but they were nice. Just wish they'd change their time on here. Food was good! read more

Does not disappoint, by far the best fish and chips I've ever had. The cod was incredible and the chips were golden fried but not overdone. There was no grease in the plate and I didn't leave feeliNg super heavy. So good, you must visit when you come to Camden. read more

Fish wise, its as fresh as it gets. The cod just flakes off and almost melts in your mouth. They are usually cooked to order but I am unsure if they still do it now as sometimes when I pass by the takeaway, I can see cooked fish sitting there in the counter. That said it is still fresh. The establishment lost in its batter. Its too thin and didn't have that thick, juicy, oily, batter crunch. I think I wouldn't mind coming here for fresh fish, but if I really have to choose after tasting a few of the best fish and chips in London, I would go to Mayfair Chippy. read more

I was visiting a friend and she took me to this place for fish and chips. It was my first time visiting London and I knew I had to venture out to find some fish and chips. When we arrived, there was no wait for a table and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the large fish (cod) and chips with a side of mushy peas. I was told that the mushy peas is also a local classic with fish and chips. The fried fish was huge!!! I loved the sauce that came with the fish and the portions were large. Yum...delicious! read more

The live band was the best thing this place had going. Few of the waitresses spoke English well. The fish honestly left my stomach very upset and that is a review I don't like to leave, especially since it came recommended by the person we were staying with. Fun atmosphere. Vibrant. But I'm just not sure I would return to eat the fish.......Chips were tasty to me though.. read more

Expect to see a lot of tourists here because apparently it's in almost every other guidebook to exploring London. In a place where a British staple like fish and chips is ubiquitous, Poppies stands out because it is such a consistent, straightforward place. I wouldn't say that the fish and chips here is mind-blowing, but it is good when you need a fix. Also, the waiters and waitresses are all in these super cute uniforms - and they also provide attentive service even though this place gets crowded quick. Solid place. read more

Amazing English food take away love it there chips taste proper old school I just wish that they would sell crackling read more

I have been craving Fish and chips for a long time!!! I live in the Camden area and always thought that the place lacked a true "British" fish and chip shop. So when I found out about Poppies I couldn't wait to get in there. The venue looks the part and I like the small attention to detail. Waitresses were very keen to serve, but I couldn't help but think that this was because they must have had twice the amount required! We were attended to by at least 3 different people, all keen to be doing anything other than standing about looking pretty. The fish and chips can't really be faulted; the fish was fresh and the batter light. The chips were chunky and not at all soggy. The food was served in a timely manner (as you would expect for fish and chips!). Portions were adequate, but I am used to finding a decent portion of chips a challenge so in truth I would have wanted more on the plate) My main issue with Poppies is the price!!! We ended up with a bill of £30(ish)..... For fish and chips!!! My local chippy in Hampshire has me smiling and content for under a £10 so why I need to pay three times the amount for the pleasure of the same meal in Camden I am unsure. Recommend it if you need your FnC fix, but in honesty as is the current fad in London... traditional foods shouldn't be over priced just because you package the venue a bit nicer. read more

Respectable cod and chips but Expensive! Ruined, completely, by the Johnny Rockets atmosphere, totally off putting. Avoid, my fellow Americans. Avoid. read more

My haddock fish and chips were amazing. The portion size for the regular was more than enough for me. The chips were very crisp and freshly fried. The tartar sauce and ketchup came in cute little jars but they were barely enough to last throughout the whole meal (I'm very sparing with my sauce usage). Would definitely go back. read more

Food is just ok. Service isssss almost non existent aside from them taking your order. All the employees are too busy talking to each other which I care less however just keep an eye out for tales around including us that are looking for a check? Or a refill?

My girlfriend and I are in visiting We wanted to eat some fish and chips late at night and found this place has the kitchen open till midnight so We decided to give it a shot. Disappointment after disappointment, first off we get there and the lady says only take away is open , no biggy we can order it Togo. Second, when we ordered I wanted to try the curry sauce to go with the fish, the lady said they ran out. Third , once we got our order I asked if I could have some ketchup Togo for the chips, cost extra per packet... who does that... fourth, once we made it back to our hostel to enjoy our warm meal, but not only did we not have ketchup but no tartar sauce or mayonnaise in our Togo order?Needless to say My gf and I had the driest meal and the saddest meal in our stay in London. Won't be going back , we should've just waited till the next day to eat and ate at Hook instead where I know they have better fish and sauce. read more

Excellent classic Cod-fish. the chips were okay. But the Fish was INCREDIBLE. Good portions. If you are super hungry - this will do the trick. If you are not super hungry - you can share a plate as a snack :D read more

So good! The cod was delightfully light and the chips were super hearty. The haddock was also light but very rich and flavorful. The chicken was also good although not nearly as delicious as the fish. The sticky toffee pudding was VERY sweet but came with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely recommend their haddock and chips! read more
