Fish and chips very poor unfortunately. Desperately trying to support local businesses, but this was really bad. The meal was soaking in oil and I suspect because they were cooked from frozen. Fish was supposed to be large, but hardly any size and flesh. Some chips were not cooked through! I have been here a few times over the years and it's never been great, but after the more recent positive reviews, I thought I'd give it another go. It's in such a great location with friendly service and little competition that it could be a real winner, but please, either improve or stop selling fish and chips!

Forget the fancy award winning chip shops in southeast London this great little family run place is excellent. The chips are crispy yet fluffy, not stodgy like many. Great fish too and the friendliest owner! Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Many people come here to enjoy both Chinese dishes and fish and chips. The flavors in the Chinese cuisine are incredibly fresh and the sauces are delicious, with the rice being exceptional. The fish and chips are also beautifully cooked. Additionally, the service is very friendly and efficient.

Our local fish and chipable. the Chinese couple that leads this place is so beautiful and so polite. large fish chips (in a fraction of the price of the brockley rock! although they do not scampi what is strange. but they do the best chicken sanctuary and chips on the planet. Believe me, it's worth visiting.
