Poppies Fish & Chips

Visited London after 20 plus years and one of the things I wanted to have was a typical British fish and chips. I was warned of the dearth of what was the norm while I was a resident in London. And they were right. I found ne corner corner chippie but but sort of a harrowing experience. Ultimately on one of my last days came upon Poppies. And the wait was rewarded. Plaice and the chips were just like I remembered.worthwhile.

Great fish and chips in a great atmosphere. My husband ordered large cod and I had the large haddock. Soooo good. I have only ever had baaaad mushy peas (in canada) and was delighted to try them here- definitely fresh and hearty- we also ordered a Steak Pie and it reminded me of my grandmothers cooking- so good. The real winner was the sticky toffee pudding. It was a great experience overall and I would love to come back.

Great Fish and Chips! Great atmosphere! Service was great! I ordered the large Cod with fries my wife got the haddock. I read a few reviews saying not enough tartar sauce and the servers aren't very attentive so I combatted it by ordering extra tartar and 2 drinks and had a wonderful meal. Three tartar was perfect for 2 large orders of fish and chips. We wanted to share with each other but enjoyed the meal so much we didnt end up sharing! You must order the sticky toffee putting 10/10 was perfect. I would have licked the plate clean if the restaurant wasn't so full. We had to wait for two other couples ahead of us due to the amount of turnover they have. Good food expect to have to wait. Probably why the servers can't aren't as attentive as some of the other restaurants. The price was higher forsure but still worth is. If I were to go back I'd probably just order what I knew was good fish and chips and sticky toffee putting! Mushy peas and steak pie were good but as expected nothing to write home about.

Ever since I got to try out their fish & chips in their Camden Town branch years back, Poppies had since become my favourite go to restaurant for fish and chips. I visited this branch in Aug 2022 for the very first time and it didn't disappoint. The food here is just as good and the interior design is full of character. The waiters were very friendly and even showed me the entire ground floor area as well as the basement, giving me more photo taking opportunity which I truly appreciate. It was a very pleasant experience where me n my partner were able to immerse ourselves in another world of delicious authentic English fish & chips as well as surrounded by all the charming little objects on display. Can't wait to go back again the next time I'm in London.
