Masters Superfish — Restaurant in London

This is a local no frills chippie a short walk from Waterloo station right across from the London National ambulance service NHS. When i walked in a rainy Friday evening, the dining room was brightly lit in fluorescent white light and filled with locals, ambulance crew and black cab drivers. It was canteen like and cheerful.

We got a corner table and the menu is handwritten in chalk hanging over the payment counter. ‘No more table menus’ after Covid we are told and for good reason. The fish is freshly brought in from the famous Billingsgate wholesale market and comes either grilled or fried in a light batter. I was recommended the Masters special of the day which was a generous portion of Cod on a bed of golden chips. Like establishments from my student days many decades ago, they serve complimentary appetisers of fresh cut baguette, pickles and onion as well as oh so delicious home made tartar sauce and ketchup. The fish was fresh, moist and just greasy enough to tick all the boxes. The beverage menu was extensive and you can wash this down with a pint of lager or a variety of soft drinks and even hot tea! The service was friendly and brisk. And the food is Halal certified!

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this local chip shop and prices were very reasonable for central london for its quality. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area and need your fill of local British fare at...

Wanted to get some fish and chips while in London after giggling about it with my friend about what food I would try while here. Next to the hotel was a closed fish and chips resteraunt that opened in the later afternoon into the evening. Based on outside appearance it seemed like the sort of place that would surprise my taste buds so I gave it a shot. The inside was crowded and the menu surprising large for only really being a place that did one thing and made it known. Not sure of the different fishes I just asked for the waitress to pick the best one and dug in. A big fish flaky and crumbly was great. The chips where normal. Came with big servings of tartar and ketchup in there own dishes. Also two pieces of bread and two raw shrimp to begin. I'm not sure what I expected but I don't think I can say it's the best fish and chips around. Great but more so above average. Being a simple meal in nature perhaps that's what it's to be. The inside didn't have tvs or much in terms of decor or things to look at while Waiting Seems catering to tourists even having a big map inviting customers to pin where they are visiting from. I'm not disappointed in the slightest but I wasn't blown away

All in all of your visiting and don't want to go out the area for a bite of fish and chips...

Excellent meal and a good price, service good and prompt even if Mon Patron would have made a Laodicean seem positively garrulous. My colleague and i had the soup of the day, there was actually a choice of two followed by Cod, chips and mushy peas (although it may well have been guacamole) . A side dish of bread and butter and some pickled condiments were also provided.

Our fellow clientele were obviously locals, “gor-blimey guvnor, luv a duck, do the Lambeth walk Landaners” but it gives one a self confidence in the establishment when it is well patronised by the locals. And i am not being patronising, ok I am.

The whole restaurant was completely refurbished and redecorated shortly after Queen Victoria passed away and then further enhanced by age, decay, neglect and the penchant for pasting as many different foreign currencies on the wall and then coating them with thin layers of chip grease. Having said that the tables chairs, cutlery and crockery were spotless.

Emblazoned on the windows were the slogan “Fully Air Conditioned” by which the management appears to mean “The windows will be left slightly ajar”.

I will definitely be visiting again soon and so should you. Highly...
