Harden's survey result
Summary
“Yes, it is full of tourists, but don’t let that bother you!” – “you can be guaranteed a meal worth the price” at this central chippy, making it a particular boon in pricey Covent Garden, complete with “friendly service and very good fish ’n’ chips”. Established in 1871, they say they haven’t changed the recipe since then (although the punning name came a century later).
Summary
“Perhaps it’s not exactly exceptional, but who wants to spend a fortune on fish ’n’ chips when this place hits the spot just as well?” This grungily cosy, no-frills veteran is on a Covent Garden site that’s hosted a chippie since 1871 and its relatively mild pricing and handy location makes it a brilliant choice for dependably feeding a big group in the West End on a budget. “Yes, it is full of tourists, but that shouldn’t bother you”.
Summary
A classic “cheap eats place” on the fringe of Covent Garden that’s particularly handy for feeding groups on a budget, with “very good fish ’n’ chips” that are “great for eating outside with the sun shining”. There’s been a chippie on the site since 1871 – although not under the current very 1970s name.
For 34 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).
