Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the generous portions, often mentioning how they too found themselves full and unbuckling their belts after finishing a meal. The fresh fish with its crisp batter is a standout, and many recommend trying the haddock. Service comes highly praised, with friendly staff making the dining experience even more delightful. Another highlight is the quality of the hand-cut chips, which elevate the traditional experience. Those using UberEats appreciate the convenience without sacrificing taste. The casual vibe encourages repeat visits while creating a strong sense of community.

Most Disliked

Some patrons express disappointment during peak hours, particularly on Fridays at dinner time when the restaurant can be at full capacity. This can result in longer wait times and a crowded atmosphere that some visitors might find overwhelming. Additionally, while the restaurant accepts reservations, some customers would prefer a more streamlined process. A few reviews noted that occasionally, certain menu items run out during busy service, which may not meet all expectations. Lastly, the limited vegan or vegetarian options are a point of contention for non-meat eaters looking to enjoy a meal here.

This was my first time going and it definitely won’t be my last. From the fresh fish and crispy batter to the great service from the owner, this place is absolutely phenomenal. The portions are astronomical and I found myself having to unbuckle my belt in order to finish. I’d definitely recommend as this is superb value for money.

Super impressed with this place. I don’t have fish and chips very often and it’s usually a disappointment in London. However this was like fish and chips I remember from my childhood. Fish tasted very fresh (if it was frozen, it fooled me). Generous portions. Very friendly. Great value too. Will 100% go back here.

Crispy nice batter (not those usual saltless bland!!!) , Fresh fish, generous portion and oh my my ...amazing people. Loved Gul, the lady who took care of our order. We ordered three medium cod and she even chipped in a small portion of extra fish. Being a self-claimed fish n chips expert, I definitely recommend this place.

This is the best chippy in north London and thankfully near my workplace. The family that run it are super friendly and the food is top notch. The ‘small’ cod is huge and the batter lovely and crispy. The addition of lemon pepper on the chips is a bonus, I don’t know of any other chippys that serve this. Thanks Old Captain, see you again soon x

Popped in here before attending a show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The chips were delicious, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Great service and seating if required. Would highly recommend popping in if you’re in the area.
