It’s possible to get the works for about £7-8 sitting down, less if foregoing mushy peas, which would be a mistake: the mushy peas are an essential reminder that all brief joy can only be put into context next to the unremitting blandless of existence. Even the tallow is questionable: is that a particularly beefy tang or just old oil? The experience is what it’s all about here: the formica, the black and white tiles, the cod in bowler hat mascot, the fact that The Fryer’s Delight is not a chippy, but a caff that happens to serve fish and chips. The batter on the fish always looks slightly like a fossilised rock, and if the chips weren’t fried in beef dripping they would be middling. To nip this in the bud: the fish and chips are alright. Like most of London’s pie and mash shops, The Fryer’s Delight is one of those places that should be treasured for its cultural importance, against the secret wish that it were better than it actually is. It may be childhood nostalgia, it may be the cholesterol, but this is one of the few meals left that still feels like a treat every time. So pile on all the condiments, chuck in some mushy peas, some pickled wallys, bread and butter, a battered saveloy. No more having to eyeball the rack and work out if that haddock really did come out of the fryer two minutes ago. No more waiting on the counter going stale. The pandemic has another unintended, wholly-positive side-effect: the lack of demand for fish and chips means that every single fillet of fish, every single golden chip, is being fried fresh to order. For this, it is imperative that the chippy be within 5-10 minutes of home, within the radius of the one government-mandated walk per day. The existence of great local fish and chips shops acknowledges a truth: The best way to consume fish and chips is ideally lounging horizontally, watching something bad on TV. Whole areas of London - Muswell Hill, Brockwell, Bromley - dine out on one good fish and chip shop that locals can proudly claim as their own. Fish and chips is home food it’s food that feeds a community. But the scarcity of great fish and chip shops in the centre is also proof that no Londoner has ever found themselves there, thinking: “I’d love some fish and chips right now”. That London’s fish and chip scene can’t compete with those in the north of England, Scotland, or the coastal towns where salty chips and saline air provide an experience tethered to geography is obvious. We have longstanding relationship with our suppliers to source the best quality fish and potatoes.It’s time to have an honest conversation about the London chippy. We do not add any MSG, salt or bulking agents to our batter mix. We have a simple policy for the food that we serve to our customers - we want to serve quality meals using the freshest of ingredients. Whilst we have long term ambitions to being the best fish and chip shop in UK, we have taken a break from the national fish and chip awards to concentrate on our expansion. We are very proud to being awarded Top 50 & 60 Best Fish And Chip Shop two years in a row and being mentioned in Wales Online Best 21 Fish And Chip Shop multiple times. We became firm favorites with our customers and the accolades soon followed.

A lease was swiftly signed in January 2013 and The Posh Fish And Chip Company was born! After many years of careful planning and searching we came across the perfect location for our vision. We opened our first branch in that Llandaff area of Cardiff back in April 2013 after looking to create a fish and chip eatery using fresh ingredients and sustainably sourced fish. Options such as lobster and our inhouse homemade fishcakes have allowed us to become a firm gourmet favorite. Run by Cardiff born resident Hamid Kowsor, we aim to create high quality fish and chip meals with a twist of “posh” thrown in.
