Most Disliked

Some visitors express frustration with the cash-only policy, which may catch newcomers off guard. While the fresh food is usually well worth the wait, a few diners mention that service can occasionally take longer during peak hours due to the made-to-order nature of each dish. Others comment on the simplicity of the seating, wishing for a more elaborate dining atmosphere.

Despite being a classic fish and chip spot, some might miss the modern twist that a few contemporary eateries offer. The straightforward menu may leave those seeking more adventurous options wanting, especially when compared to other innovative dining experiences in the city.

Amazing fish and chips! We ate on the premises and the meal was cooked fresh. Chips were quite possibly the best I've ever had. Cash only!

Growing up in the Campden area in the 80s, I remember a lot more local fish/chippies. This is about the last of the traditional old school no nonsense places in the area. You get a massive amount of delicious chips and a perfectly prepared fish- crispy shell and fabulous moist fish. These boys have been doing this a long time. No frills seating, classic menu of a fish/chippy place. It is cash only and fish chips cost £13. Make a visit for the last remaining proper fish and chip location.

As a traveler from the states, I was trying to find a place near the flat to get some fish and chips. Chris's did not disappoint. Originally being drawn in by the one long and glowing review as well as the convenient location, our expectations were high and they were met. Eating at Chris's Fish Bar was indeed "a culinary paradise, a gastronomic utopia" in the wise words of Tullen Dawson. Chris's Fish bar is exactly what it bills itself as. It is a small hole in the wall style eatery and it doesn't they to deceive you into believing it is anything else. If you need a quick bite after a long day, this is a great place to stop by! The service was more than satisfactory. The ordering process was very easy and straightforward. The worker was really helpful and kind. The food did take a little bit to come out, but this is because they fried each fish to order. When it did come out, you get the option to add salt, vinegar, and/or tartar sauce (and ketchup if you ordered chips). So the service gets top marks in my opinion! When opening my takeaway order, my jaw dropped to the floor. The fish was ENORMOUS! It was one and a half the length of my plate! And the CHIPS?! I got one order of chips between my boyfriend and it was a huge pile. We couldn't finish the one order after having the fish! While I must admit the chips may not look the most appetizing (to an American) they were amazing! The fish itself fell apart in my mouth (cod), was flavorful, and was the perfect level of greasy. I have nothing but high praise for the food. At only around 10 pounds for the fish and chips, this was the best deal of our whole trip to London! You may see fish and chips at restaurants for a staggering 20 to 30 pounds, but don't be fooled, Chris's is all you (and your wallet) could need or want. The fish options start at around 9 pounds and the chips are around 2 pounds from my recollection which is astonishing for the amount of food and the level of quality. Other affordable options are available such as drinks, chicken, and sides. Save your wallet! Go to Chris's. BTW- bring cash as I recall this being cash only. In conclusion, Chris's Fish Bar was more than satisfactory. The atmosphere is exactly what what you need, the service is lovely, the food is delicious and PLENTIFUL, and for the price? You just can't beat it. If you are around Euston Station, Kings Cross, or Camden, I would highly recommend you hit this place up.

Absolute gem of a place for fish and chips. Their cod fish is super soft and fluffy, the batter is crispy and freshly fried, and their chips are fresh and good. The chicken was okay, not as great as the fish but still not bad; tastes a little like Jolibee.
