“ "5/5 stars! Our family had the most delicious fish and chips at Fishcotheque in London. The food was incredibly tasty and authentic, the staff were very nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere was awesome. What really impressed me was that the food was freshly prepared, you could tell the difference. Highly recommend this place for a traditional and satisfying fish and chips experience!" It is just a few steps from Waterloo underground station. ”
“ My overall rating is based on the category and taste. I wanted to go to a place that specialized in fish and chips and not just another part of the menu. Visited twice while in town and never disappointed. The fish was incredibly fresh, with a light, crispy batter that hit the spot. The top fellow says they change the oil daily, and you can really taste the difference; clean, not greasy. The good portion of chips was perfectly cooked and excellent with the malt vinegar. The whole place felt like a place where time stood still for the last 40 years, in the best possible way in a simple, classic, and no frills approach. Also, good to see a lot of British eating here and not just tourists, which always tells you you’re in the right spot. Would absolutely go back next time I’m in town. ”
