Harden's survey result
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 33 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).
