After living in London for many years, I have discovered the best traditional fish and chip shop in Southwest London. The restaurant has a back area with tables and waitress service. The fish was incredibly fresh, the chips were delicious, and you can even get mushy peas. The menu is extensive, but unfortunately they do not have Mars bars. The food was cooked beautifully and the staff were lovely. I washed it all down with a mug of tea, making for a delicious meal. The prices were reasonable, with the fish and chips costing £8.50, chips alone £2.70, and a mug of tea £1.20. The restaurant is easily accessible, located just minutes from Raynes Park railway station, or you can park cheaply at the nearby Waitrose. I highly recommend this place - I only wish I had found it years ago. Thank you once again for a wonderful experience.

My go to chippy on a Friday. Always busy which shows the popularity of the place. Fish always cooked to order which takes 5 or so minutes (you can pre order over the phone) but is well worth it for the freshness. The two fellas behind the counter are always super friendly and the service is great. I haven’t sat down in the restaurant bit, though I always think I should.
