    Got the Mayfair Classic with haddock, chips, mushy peas, curry sauce, and English breakfast tea. Solid fish and chips -- proper crispy batter, decent chips -- but didn't deliver the hype, especially at £27 for the classic alone. More of a Mayfair location premium than a destination meal. Service was fine, kitchen clearly busy. Worth a try if you're already in the area; wouldn't trek across London for it. 3 stars out of 5.

    I'd give Mayfair Chippy about 3.5 stars. It's a solid fish and chips place, but it didn't really stand out to me or feel worth the hype. The fish and chips were good overall. The fish was fried nicely with a buttery flavor, and the tartar sauce really stood out. It was very flavorful and tasted house-made. The fries were a bit soggy for my taste, though if you like thick, softer fries, you might enjoy them. The prawn toast had good flavor, but the batter was a bit too thick. The Pie Minister dish was not for me. The mashed peas needed more seasoning, and the meat in the pie lacked flavor and had a mushy texture throughout. I also wish the pie crust had been flakier. The shop is quite small, so it can feel a little tight inside. The waiter was nice, and most of the food came out fairly quickly, although the pie did take longer. Overall, it's a dependable spot for fish and chips, but I wouldn't wait in a long line for it.

    I've had fish and chips in London three times before this and have always been disappointed in the past. I'm glad I didn't give up on it though, because I now get the hype. I would definitely recommend making a reservation if you can. We didn't, but we were pretty lucky to come right as a table was clearing up. Literally 10 min later, there was a whole queue waiting to get in. We got the Mayfair classic. I love that the portions are pretty big, we were able to share between two people and we still had some chips left over. The fish was super moist and practically fell apart. But the outside was still super crispy without feeling too oily. The curry and tartar sauce were delicious. And the salt and vinegar was really good on the crispy chips (which also didn't feel too oily and gross). I don't think I'll ever really understand mushy peas as a concept. But it was also pretty good. The waiter was super friendly and cracked a lot of jokes. I could tell he was very used to dealing with tourists though, I think I heard him warn like three tables (us included) about keeping our phones out on the table because it's common for strangers to just snatch it up when they walk by. I also love the little bag of candy they bring out along with the bill!

    Long overdue review, but went on a week-long trip to London in the fall and the Mayfair Chippy was by far one of the most memorable meals we had! Came here as a group of 4 for dinner on a weeknight with no reservation, but only waited around 25 minutes in line then got seated indoors. This was conveniently located near the tube stop and Oxford Street - great meal after a day of shopping/sight-seeing. Our server, Isaac, was awesome - super friendly and made our experience more enjoyable! We ordered the classic fish and chips with both cod and haddock, and also thought both the sauces (gravy and curry) paired nicely with the meal. Both the fish were perfectly cooked and flaky, although the haddock had a slightly sweeter flavor that stood out in a good way. The chips were great as well, not overly salty. We ended our meal with the Sticky Date Pudding and it was SO delicious, I think about this dessert all the time!!! Such a great experience and if you're visiting London, definitely try the Mayfair Chippy! Worth the hype!

    i got rained on while eating here and honestly with an umbrella on hand, couldn't complain. the fish and chips were good and that tartar sauce is gorgeous. my server was so kind and accommodating. the view of the buildings and the people watching opportunities made a solo fish and chips trip relaxing and enjoyable. but was a bit overpriced overall. my total came out to be nearly 50 US dollars for a slab of fried fish, chips, and small sides of tartar sauce, curry, and mushy peas. you could probably find something just as good for much cheaper if you scoured london a bit more. a side note, as i traveled london, i heard the most saturated amount of american accents at this restaurant. maybe it was coincidence. but do with that what you will.

    The fish and chips (cod) was 10/10 the best I've ever had!! Service was great, super nice & accommodating. Ambiance was okay, this location is small and it was a bit hot because of that. Overall though this didn't bother us. Reasonably priced too. I will come back next time I'm in London!

    Not me getting secondhand embarrassment while a lady sitting at the next table over also with an American accent yells at the server "WHaT's tHe Wi-Fi pAsSwORD?!?!" D; I don't associate with her!! Lol. Major props to the very polite and patient staff dealing with rather obnoxious tourists (quite a bunch of tourists dining here actually). Delicately flaky and super tender fried cod here!! Batter held a little too much oil for my liking though, but not a dealbreaker. Pretty standard chips but huge portion (this fish & chips Mayfair classic entree is definitely sharable between two hungry people). Also tried the baked sourdough bread. Scrumptiously crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Didn't really notice any tang though. Overall the overly-touristy vibe was kinda a buzzkill, but if you happen to be in the area and are craving for fish & chips (and don't mind the crowding; very packed inside) then I still recommend checking this spot out!

    The number one food I was looking forward to trying in England was fish and chips! After perusing the internet, many had recommended The Mayfair Chippy! I made reservations for our group and we had an enjoyable meal. Reservations are highly encouraged because this place is packed with people and has lines of those waiting to dine. We arrived a few minutes past our reservation, and they called me, but we were still well cared for. The service was quite accommodating as we requested to be at a different table. The wait staff checked on us and took great care. The restaurant is somewhat big, with tables for two and a few larger tables spread both inside and outside. It's loud, bustling, and busy. I had to have the Fried Haddock, Chips, Mushy Peas, and Chip Shop Curry Sauce. First off the portions here are massive! It was a giant piece of fish and loads of fries. Honestly, I think I ate three chips (fries) because I was so focused and full from the fish. The fish was perfectly fried, golden crisp, and the fish was so moist and delectable. I loved their tartar sauce but still getting acquainted with curry sauce! The mushy peas were fun to try but a one-and-done for me. My group also shared the Eton Mess for dessert which was airy, creamy, and sweet. The reviews are right, The Mayfair Chippy is an excellent choice for fish and chips. Even residents in London have spoken highly of the place! Just be sure to make reservations. You can find them in Mayfair off North Audley Street.

    If you're in London and craving fish and chips that actually live up to the hype, this is your spot. I went for the Mayfair Classic cod fish n chips w/ curry sauce (not spicy, more like japanese curry) and--no exaggeration--this was probably one of the best fish n chips I've ever had. Crispy batter, flaky cod, perfect chips. Just exceptional. The place itself is small, but it buzzes with energy and character. You feel it the moment you walk in. The staff were friendly and personable-- welcoming without being over the top. Also tried the beef and oyster pie. Flavour was solid, but I wish it had come out hotter. Still worth a try if you're not in a rush. Pro tip: If you're hungry and want to eat fast, go straight for the fish n chips. They nailed it! Would 100% go back. Might even make it a regular stop when I'm in the area.

    Best fish and chips place in Mayfair. So good we went twice during our trip to London. We didn't have reservations so had to wait about 40 minutes for a table for 5. Book reservations if you can! It is a touristy spot and locals like it too. Saw lots of takeout orders also. You can wonder around the food hall next door while waiting. Food was amazing. Fish was crisp on outside and juicy on inside. They had sides that were very kid-friendly. Glad we found this place!

    Had great reviews and had to drop by while in covent garden. It was packed on a Tuesday evening but the host did a great job of seating us. Had the fried mushrooms as an appetizer and cod and chips for main course. The fried mushrooms were large and had a great fry which you would expect from a premier fish and chip spot. It came with a truffle dipping sauce. It was a tasty appetizer. The cod and chips were a very good dish. The fry again was perfect and they got us our food straight from the fryer, it was piping hot. Great cook and the fish was nice and moist. Only feedback was that is could have used a little more salt. The chips were good but they could have been a tad more crisp. In all excellent meal and even better service.

    My friend and I were in London this past week and we had been wanting to try a good fish and chips spot. This restaurant popped up for her while searching on Yelp. As most restaurants in London, it is small and very busy. My friend got the traditional fish and chips and I got the fish sandwich which also came with chips. The food was excellent! Everything was hot and tasted fresh. Portion size is quite large as well. Service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend making reservations because it gets very busy and your table time is limited to an hour. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I find myself back in London.

I saw a recommendation for Golden Union, and so we made our way over there for lunch towards the latter half of our trip. The place itself is unsuspecting but ended up being actually very cute when we went inside. The neon signs and vintage furniture make it feel cozy. The staff themselves were also very welcoming. We sat down and were handed menus and waters. I decided to split the haddock and chips with my friend while my other friends got their own portion of cod and chips. Everything was pricey, but it is London. The waitress was also very engaging and friendly since she noticed we were tourists and also helped one of my friends with his journey to try British tea for the first time. Overall, she was so sweet. Despite not having crazy high expectations, the haddock and chips was incredible. The fish was soft, and the chips were fresh and not oily at all. It felt very fresh, and I finished my portion feeling very satisfied. My friends let me try their cod, and the cod was also fantastic--very buttery. The haddock is definitely my favorite though. Would come back on my next trip!

I was fortunate to come here just before it was peak dinner time and I did see a lot of people waiting. If you look to come here at usually meal times, be ready for a wait! What Is great about this establishment is that they have many options for your fish in case you are craving something in particular. With it being my first time here, I was looking to try either the Haddock or Cod, and decided on the Haddock. Once I received my fish and chips, I was ready to eat and wow the fish was so good and well fried. I tasted how good the fried batter was while all the flavor of the fish was still inside! I could eat this fried fish all day! The batter had the flakiness to it which added a nice texture. As for the chips (fries), I will say that they were average and nothing too special. However, keep that appetite for the fish! Make sure you finish that! Service itself was pretty fast and prompt. They definitely look to get your food quickly so you can enjoy your meal so they can accommodate as many people as possible.

It gets quite loud and lively inside but that's part of the culture. The service by all was greatly appreciated. I have dietary restrictions and they went the extra mile to check in with me.

My pie came piping hot. There was a lot of seafood inside--it was rich, creamy, and hearty. I was only able to eat half.

Sticky toffee pudding was sweet and delightful, wish we had more of this back home! The apple crumble was a balance between tart and slightly sweet all with a nice crumb.
