We drove out the way to come and eat here. Plenty of fish and chips all over London if you ask me. But you didn’t. But the reviews convinced us to come. unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype. Maybe I had fish and chips at too many places. Regardless. Won’t come back. The waiter was also rude. He could use a reality check on how to treat people regardless of color or clothing. You can see people waiting around for their checks and food to come out. Not a good sign. Gave it three stars just because the atmosphere was fun. People eating and talking is always warm to the heart. Definitely go and make your own opinion, but you been warned. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

They do not honour reservations and have poor customer service.

We were told about Fish Central by our taxi driver, he drops off not realizing the restaurant was closed. The waiter, Diego, was fantastic, he talked to the owner, Nouzar, who agreed to let 2 sisters from the US into his lovely restaurant. He proceeded to prepare the most delicious fish and chips with cod and haddock. It was wonderful and the kindness and generosity of those 2 made these 1st time visitors to London feel very special.
