The Kingfisher — Restaurant in London

Been craving fish and chips for about 2 weeks now, so after I smelt the food emanating from the restaurant I had to go in.

Ended up ordering a large haddock with a small portion of chips and a curry sauce. Came to £15.70.

Now I consider myself to be pretty on point when it comes to food and fish and chips has been a dish which has fallen in standard across the UK. However, happy to note this was a pretty satisfying meal and very well cooked. Haddock was sweet, soft, and flaky. Chips were fried well, not too soggy, not too crispy. It was over salted so perhaps salt yourself but I did ask for salt I guess? I'll see the next time I go.

Portion was also large. Which is notable with many shops selling a "large" fish the size of Nemo.

Honestly, happy I tried it and will definitely go again. Oh, its cash only so come prepared. Although the ATM is...

Drawn in by the interesting veggie/vegan menu and working our way through it as everything has been delicious. So, now The Kingfisher is becoming our treat at the end of a busy workweek. Revisited the vegan fish and chips takeaway last week (pictured) and am still amazed how it actually takes like fish. Last night, had the Jack-in-the-Bun for the first time and it was amazing, especially if you enjoy Mexican fare like I do.

Possibly, best of all is how passionate and thoughtful the owner is about the menu and the cleverly balanced creations. Wanted to hug her last night as she described the burger components but thought best to wait until after the health pandemic ;-)

Still so amazed to find a chippy that really understands what vegetarians want, especially those of us that enjoy comfort food.

The chips themselves are quite small and do not taste or look fresh. A small portion of chips costs £1.80 while a large portion costs £2.70. you have to pay 20p for a satchet of a condiment which is just greedy and too money hungry because of course your customers wont want ot eat their food dry. Customer service was quite bad. We seemed unwanted. Because our chips were wrapped up in paper we were not allowed to sit in the "restaurant side". The seats we were allowed to sit on were some crapoy window seat stools. Which is just embarrassing when you see the other costumers sitting in a nice area because they have a plate of food and not just a portion of chips. So we left with are...
