Our first London meal was an excellent one.
We started off with jellied eels out of curiosity. Very much NOT our thing, but this appeared to be a good preparation. Easier to stomach with the chili vinegar and hot sauce.
The fish and chips were outstanding. Massive piece of crispy fresh haddock served with lemon, tartar sauce, and best of all malt vinegar. Great chips too. And we really enjoyed the mushy peas!
Finished off with sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Perfection. So perfectly rich and delicious.

Their warm welcome and attentiveness to our needs made our visit even more enjoyable. It's evident that the team at Poppies Fish and Chips truly cares about their customers, and that's a testament to their commitment to excellence.
Just a chip shop with nothing special in terms of service or atmosphere. Apparently this chip shop has been around awhile and had several famous people there apparently.
As for the food, the halibut was more crispy and the cod was more buttery. The chips were thick and fluffy, but I would've preferred them to be crispier. Curry sauce was great for flavor, but it seemed to be diluted. Would've preferred if it wasn't so watery. Mushy peas were good. The beans I could have done without, nothing special.
