Loved the menu, loved the portion size, I did have a little word the one of the Managers/ owners on site just a little suggestion in my opinion might work, also a little back ground music might help disperse the echo vocal noise. Fish was lovely, pasta tasty, wine list, not to over complicated, will defo be back SOON thanks guys for a great evening

Wow! What a find! Off to see a show at The Barbican and needed a pre-show meal and as we love fish what better than a fish restaurant. This place suited our needs and exceeded our expectations - Food and Service was spot-on.

I regularly buy Fish and Chips here to take home. We decided to visit on Friday night, and, as usual the standard was excellent. Clearly the best Fish and Chips in London, the service, atmosphere and value for money was amazing. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back!

It’d been a while since my last visit, so to be greeted once more with smiles and recognition worthy of a lost brother was overwhelming. The food was of its usually exceptional high standard. My baked cod was cooked perfectly. The service fabulous, just there but not in one’s face. It’s impossible to fault FC, a must for any pescatarian. Note in diary: I must go back ASAP.

This place came up in a search "grilled fish near me" :), highly recommended for the quality of good (fresh), price and ambience. The staff were very friendly and genuine. We request for wine recommendation to go with mussels and grilled fish, to our surprise they suggested 2 which were very affordable and not the most expensive, more importantly they go well with our dishes. Will definitely return again to try other items.

The service and the food in this establishment were unsurpassed. At one point a gentleman, who I can only assume was the head chef, came out to greet all the tables to ask how everything was and whether we enjoyed our meal, with a warm and genuine concern. Class. It was also clear to see that there were many regulars who were familiar with the owners, giving it a family vibe. I would highly recommend this place, it’s no surprise it’s still open after 50 years. Class.

Havent been back for ages but its pretty much the same - good service, fresh food from the kitchen/takeaway next door, nice room with an upstairs for private groups, you get a little amuse bouche, plenty of specials - if you are going at a busy time then best to book. On Sat evening there had lots of big groups who were going to arrive - I was pre theatre so was ok.
