Harden's survey result
Summary
This Greek-Cypriot Clerkenwell veteran has offered consistently “good-quality and good-value” fish for more than half a century, evolving beyond the basic fish’n’chips to encompass a range of seafood dishes plus grilled meat, along with a wine list and cocktails. Handily, it’s within easy walking distance of the Barbican arts centre.
Summary
“Dependably good fish” at “outstandingly good value-for-money” prices is the hallmark of this veteran, family-run, central chippy (est. 1968). “Been coming here for years and never had a bad dish” – no wonder it’s a “cabbies’ haunt”.

For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
