    I had high hopes for Winston's, and this may be why my review is lower than I'd have expected based on the overall glowing reviews. I had fish and chips in one of London's originals, and rather enjoyed the mushy peas. If you come here looking for them, you won't find them (at least not any longer). I got a two-piece cod combo and some of "The King's Wings". Both were expertly prepared, and served fresh and hot. The sauce for the wings was cloyingly sweet and overly sticky (think "maple syrup reduction", although the taste wasn't of maple at all, mercifully). Flavor-wise, things were good, but the chips were dry and REALLY over-salted. Pluses were the huge parking lot, friendly service, and prompt preparation times. The boxes are also very high-quality and charming, and are probably one of the reasons for the high prices.

    Food = Decent Customer service = horrible Hours = Ben Stiller in Tropic Thunder (FR) The reason you get you butt kicked by El Hefe is not only because they serve birrera, but they are always open. Your truck has been closed twice, when it shows it should be open. It's closed Tuesdays. It doesn't open until 11:30 or noon. Who picked these horrible business hours, the Queen?

    Stopped by this food cart to grab some 'take out' for dinner. It was a bit of a wait, however they had a device which told us when to come back for pick up. Fish was VERY good!!! Will be back to get more. You can add extra pieces for $3.50. Sausage roll was just 'OK'. Smoked chowder was very smoky, must like a strong smoked flavor to enjoy.

    The cutest to-go box :)

    Oh man, do I love Winston's! This is the 3rd time I've had Winston's and I can confirm it's my favorite fish & chips that I've tried in PDX! I have gotten both the number one and the number two. Both were outstanding! But I prefer the number one with a side of curry sauce :) The number 1 has two pieces of fish, chips (fries), mushy peas and tartar sauce. The fish is always perfectly battered and cooked to perfection. Sometimes fish and chips can get super bogged down and greasy, not Winston's. The fish is never overly greasy! The chips are always perfectly crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. Oh, and ALWAYS perfectly salted. The mushy peas were top freaking tier. I gobbled those up so fast. I can't wait to get more. I had never dipped my fish into curry sauce before trying Winston's. Let me tell you, it's the only way I want to eat fish & chips now. ITS INSANE, just so flavorful and delicious! I can't forget the tartar which I also personally love. Chips or fries get dipped in it, it never goes to waste! I love the to-go box it comes in too. It's sturdy and I love that I can easily transport it if I don't want to eat there. Prices are insanely reasonable and I think super fair for the portions and quality! Parking is a breeze at either the Vancouver location or the Fairview one! All in all, if you love fish and chips, definitely make Winston's your first stop!

    Fish and chips, SO GOOD!! Perfectly cooked, fries crispy, tartar sauce flavorful, absolutely will get again. Smoked fish chowder was meh, much too smoky for me. Mushy peas were one of the worst things I've had, tasted like the smell of goose poop, lol, now if this is a staple in England, then don't listen to me!! Lacked salt as well. Curry was ok, I didn't like the fish and curry mix. Wings were good, but just a weird addition, sauce I really liked. All in all, they knocked it out of the park with fish and chips, everything else I could do without. Oh, and the packaging was so cute!!

    Next to Auto Zone and across from Walmart

    If you stand outside Auto Zone and look toward Walmart, you will be able to see the Winston's food trailer. After ordering two Winston's Fish N Chips + Curry, you get a pager to let you know when the food is ready. Next to the truck are 3 plastic tables/benches to choose from. Admittedly it's somewhat windy (bring a sweater) and little to no shade (bring a hat). Prevelant while eating is the motor of the generator and the steady traffic noise/smells of vehicles passing by. If you want to avoid this, I saw a woman take-out. Inside my box were two good-size pieces of Alaskan cod and more "chips" than I could eat. Both were nicely seasoned. Not only is tartar sauce included, but I opted for curry instead of mushy peas. As for additional condiments, there were malt vinegar, ketchup, and Chip sauce. At $15 a box, the food is a great value for the quality and quantity. Washing up at the WC requires a trip to Walmart.

    My boyfriend works close by & had been wanting to come try this place for a while. They run a small menu which is makes deciding a lot easier. We went with the #2 & #3. They give you a buzzer,so you can wait in your car if you'd like as it is starting to get colder these days. It comes prepared in a really cool box! Our 15 minute drive home & everything was still warm & crispy. The #2 fish & chips was served with a curry dipping sauce, which I thought was interesting. It was actually pretty good, but if you prefer tartar sauce it comes with that also. Fries were yummy as well. The wings that came with #3 had a nice tangy flavor & as mentioned sticky. Fish was crisp to perfection super crunchy. I had the rest for dinner & just threw my leftover fish & fries in the air fryer & they were good as new again! People working there were super nice. They seem to be real popular, as we got our food a line was forming.

    Made the trek over to Vancouver since this is the only legit British fish & chips place around. Fun food cart and those boxes they serve in are impressive - great design, thick and sturdy. The service was amazing. The servers were friendly, patient, and answered all my questions in a good mood. I enjoyed the fish & chips and clam chowder. The curry dip isn't my taste. (It wasn't spicy.)

    Mmmm

    I've seen mixed reviews about Winston's. And all I can say is go see for yourself! The cart is in a super accessible location with lots of parking which is always nice! The ambiance is... food truck, ya know? Hahaha the people working the truck have always be so nice and helpful when we have gone, and I mean who doesn't like a pleasant interaction? Anyways, on to the food!! My husband and I ordered the fish and chips with wings! The fish has always tasted super fresh, and flavorful! And the perfect carrier of the sauces! The chips are crispy and perfect (I like fries on the crispy side ) and the wings are knockout good, idk what they do to them but they are delicious! All in all this place is a go to for us. And not to mention the mushy peas! I had no idea what they were prior to trying Winston's, and I like them! I'm not sure if I'm supposed to dip things into it, but I tried that and eating it on its own, and it all tasted great! Haha I recommend trying a little bit of it all so you can enjoy all the yumminess!

    Great piece of cod!

    Stopped in for lunch around 11 on a Saturday. There were about 4-5 people ahead of us. The service was friendly and helpful. After ordering, you're given a pager to let you know when it's ready. Our food was ready in about 15-20 minutes. Not bad for the weekend! We ordered the #3 royal feast sampler ($17) and #5 smoked fish chowder ($10). Wish we would have ordered the #1 or #2 instead of #5. The royal feast comes with chowder, and the smoky flavor goes a long way. The fish and chips were delicious! Definitely needed more of that! The royal feast was a great first-timer order... a sample of all offerings. The wings were ok, I didn't really care for the sauce, but I'm sure that's just preference. The mushy peas were ok, but I would pass on those next time. The smoked fish chowder was yummy... plenty of fish inside. The chowder comes with a small bag of oyster crackers, too. My only gripe would be that they need some picnic tables under the large covered area. It would be nice to have a place to sit and eat, other than your car or when you get home. Food like this should be eaten when served hot. Would definitely recommend!

    Cute little food truck off 4th Plain Blvd. we ordered 1 order of a 2 piece fish and chip basket. The wait was only 10 minutes! The pieces of fish were huge and the big curly fries were plentiful. The batter on the fish was crispy and delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked tender and fresh. We will be back!

    A friend asked me to check this place out a while back. I finally got by to check it out this past Saturday. The short version is this: Holy shit! Stop what you are doing now and go. So, it is a food truck. It is in the parking lot of a megachurch that resides in the carcass of a former Kmart. On Andresen, just south of Fourth Plain Blvd, which is just south of Highway 500. Pretty easy to get to. Except probably when there's some churchy thing going on. And fish and chips... you know, I have eaten a metric shit ton of fish and chips in Jolly Olde and Scotland and Wales from years of working and vacationing there. Not to mention bars all over the US and even venerable establishments such as PNW favorite Burgerville. The menu is pretty Spartan - I mean, it *IS* a take-away fish and chips cart, right? But let that not deter you. This is easily -- easily -- the best I've ever had. The #1 - "Winston's Fish and Chips" says it's two pieces of battered cod (we each wound up with like 3.5 or so), British chips, and mushy peas (technically, it says "or curry sauce" but that doesn't matter because you're getting the mushy peas) This all sets you back a total of $14. That's nearly exactly what a three-piece halibut fish and chips will set you back at Burgerville. This is (a) slightly more and (b) a shit-ton better and (c) has mushy peas instead of coleslaw. My only complaint is that it's pretty sparse. You'll note the spread is on the hood of my car, which is due to there being no seating. The canopy? Near as I can tell is to keep you more comfy as you order. But OMG it's so good. I'll be making a return trip this Saturday, and I'm eyeing the Smoked Fish Chowder as well this time.

    The best in the NW.

    Tabor Tabern and the Frying Scotsman are my Top 2 for Fish & Chips, but Winston's wins on taste alone. The tarter sauce is definitely a cut above the usual. I didn't know Wings were a British staple, a very good version here. The chowder is a future reorder. I didn't connect with the curry, but it has raving fans. Value - taste & portion - is more than fair. Head-scratcher: how can they be out of mushy peas at 11:10 a.m. the day after being featured on the local TV News? Per another review, they were out of mushy peas on multiple occasions. TO THE Owner: a low cost suggestion: include a lemon wedge in the super cool box! A line 10+ deep forms 15 minutes before opening. We're all counting the days until they open a brick and mortar location. The window gal was super friendly.

    3.5 stars Our…read morefirst impression was that this is a really interesting place with a ton of character. If you enjoy whisky, there is a lot to explore. With more than 700 bottles, Scottish décor, whisky maps, and an old school pub atmosphere, the place definitely has its own personality. We had already eaten lunch, so this visit was all about the whisky. We tried a Kilchoman flight with Machir Bay, Sanaig, and Port Cask, plus a pour of Springbank 10. We enjoyed all four and found the selection impressive. Service was a little mixed. Downstairs, the bartender seemed mostly interested in whether we were ordering and didn't mention there was an upstairs area. Since it was our first visit, it would have been nice to know more about the place. Once we found the upstairs, the experience got much better. Ava was wonderful. She was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about the guests. She made us feel comfortable and gave us a reason to come back. A solid 4 star experience. Next time we'll probably head directly upstairs, try some food, and explore more of the Scotch collection.

    This place is good every time!…read more My favorite seating is upstairs where there are mismatched chairs and fun tables. Great vibe wherever you sit though. I have yet to branch out from the fish and chips. The family got some bangers and mash and they also were reported delicious! Oh and the onion rings..... yep..... great too The service is bartender/server and they never direct me wrong.
