The Garden Fish Bar

Good fish and chips. Not necessarily sure it’s the best ever but it’s worth stopping by for a meal if you are in the area. It’s a proper chippy.
We shared the plaice and haddock with chips. The haddock was perfectly cooked and was nice and flaky. The plaice was overdone. I don’t think a flatfish really works for fish and chips as it’s too thin and just overlooks by the time the batter is cooked through. The chips were good and not soggy.
Also had must peas which came in an awful styrofoam cup. The pickled egg was yummy!

I will back other reviews and say this is an excellent fish and chip shop. Good quality and well cooked. It has seating inside, although I’ve not used it, and cycle parking outside. 5mins walk from Kew Gardens tube station.

This is a great fish and chips place… they make it fresh right in front of you. I took it home (about a 8 minute walk) and it was still fresh and tasty. The chips and onion rings didnt make the journey quite so well… but it didnt matter because the fish was so good.

Hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had. Now, this is not something I say lightly. I love fish and chips and have lived by the sea. Everyone I know who has gone there says te same thing.
The recipe is simple: take some fresh fish (I go for the cod) and chunky potatoe. Throw it all in the deep fryer, Cover in salt and vinegar and put in paper.
There is a sit down area but that kinda misses the point. You need to take away. If you don’t live in the area there are plenty of parks nearby (Kew Gardens about 10 mins walk away).

When you live near to supposedly one of the best fish and chip shops in London, it’s hard to give a review that isn’t sullied by being a local. I’m not sure where I’ve eaten the best fish and chips in London & I think fish and chips depends very much on the mood you’re in at the time.
However, I wouldn’t say The Garden Fish Bar sells the best fish and chips in London. It’s fine. The chips are good chips. The fish is well cooked, but the batter isn’t really anything to write home about.
When I walk past it at night, it oozes that gorgeous fish and chip shop smell, that I’m sure the vast majority of chippies do. If you happen to be in Kew at a time it’s open, give it a try. There’s also a chippie that’s much nearer the station where the chips are slightly cheaper but equally as good!

This is a big statement, but one which I do not hesitate in saying. The Garden Fish Bar is the best fish and chips I have ever had. Forget Brighton pier and cosy countryside pubs; this really itops the list. Using their own recipe, the batter is simple and succulent, allowing for the flavour of whichever fish you chose to diffuse through beautifully. Chunky chips manage to remain delectably crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside.
They are also probably one of the most expensive fish and chips i’ve purchased from a takeaway in my time. However, don’t hesitate-​they are well worth the money.
