The Golden Chip

I love these guys, it's like the chippy I remember growing up, decent fish well cooked and proper fresh cut chippy chips..the type that stick together just a bit. Gravy, mushy peas, tartare sauce, picked onion, pickled ehh and roll/bread to make a chip butty if you want it, there's even scampi and some decent pies. Keep up the good work guys.

I have lived in West London for more than 45 years and i have witnessed the borough change over time, from being known as the Las Vegas of west London with all its Bars and Nightclubs, to being the fast food capital of west London. Food as a whole has evolved over time thanks to the offerings predominantly being restaurants that offer a take away service to the traditional chippy on every corner. However as our tastes evolved thanks to the exposure to the many cultures that now live and work in the borough of Ealing, and the introduction of fast foods from around the world, the more traditional of fast foods that is quintessentially British have all but disappeared. The humble chip shop is now more elusive than ever. However today i stumbled across The Golden Chip in Hanwell. A small British oasis in a desert of fast foods nestled in the heart of Hanwell at 33 Boston road, W7 3SH. the staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel like you belong on the set of East Enders with the nick name they give you so that they remember your order to the amazing quality of the food. Amazing battered Cod that was crisp and the chips that were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. All in all an amazing fish and chips on a Friday night. If there is one thing that i would say to anyone that wants to visit, be prepared to queue as they get busy. They are very efficient and to get through the queue pretty quick though. Can't recommend highly enough. A must visit if you like your fish and chips. An incredible asset to the borough and its community.
