Let's see, avoid the chicken, and the kebabs - the facilities aren't there to produce quality. The fish however, and the chips have always been fresh and 'meaty' and the batter is just right. While you're there try their fried sneakers, or mars bar if that kinda thing takes your fancy. Their chilli sauce is also very nice.

The restaurant's menu changes all the time depending on whats fresh in that week but I prefer to head straight for the seafood bar where they have a huge selection of oysters to be enjoyed with either a pint of Guiness or a nice bottle of Macon. Keep an eye out for special offers as they have a hotel here to and often offer some great deals on food and a bed for the night.

Went there once for a rock and chips. never again! chips were ok just, but the rock was awful! i'm guessing they either got frozen rock in then defrosted it, or it was fresh rock but 3/4/5 days after it had been delivered. don't get me wrong cowley fish bar used to be lovely many years ago, but it has gone down hill a lot in reent years. i now go to jacks fish and chips on hillingdon road. it is a little further to drive, and you normally have to wait slightly longer because it is busier, but i prefer it. the food is such better quality. not cheap (but then what is nowadays), but not expensive either. read more

The waiter took our order quickly and the food came out very fast. We had Seabass and Haddock with chips and mushy peas. We specifically asked for crispy fries/chips because most restaurants seem to serve flimsy ones. It was all delicious, but I think I prefer the Seabass. I highly recommend Seafresh!

The people were so nice which was welcoming. But let's get to the food and drinks. That martini I had was some good. I should have gotten another round. The fish was good for what I think London fish and chips should be. It surely was a hefty portion size. The shrimp appetizer was also good but I do wish they used fresh shrimp. Either way, I would recommend this place to anyone that may ask me for a good spot.

My friend got the standard cod and was pleased. The mushy peas were a hit, too. Overall a nice place that fit the bill! There's a bell inside with a sign reading "ring if you enjoyed your meal." It certainly got rings from us!

While in London, one has to try a good old fashioned fish n chip place. Today we tried Crown Fish &…read moreChip Bar located right at then end of a road with great storefront visibility for awareness. I had the Cod & Chips while my wife had the Haddock & Chips. We both had the large orders. We had a nice waitress and she informed us they cook the food fresh so it would be about 10 or so minutes for the food to be cooked. We are perfectly fine with that if it means freshly cooked food! When the food arrived, the fish was super crisp and yummy and very hot (temperature) so be careful! It is served with a lemon wedge and a very small pack of Tartare Sauce. On the table is a vinegar container as well. Although that vinegar tasted weak or maybe it was just plain white vinegar. I do prefer the dark malt vinegar. Crown Fish & Chip Bar also serve up Gyros (Doner) and other fried foods. They have plenty of sides such as salad, mushy peas, etc. to add on to your meal. The real star here seem to be the fish n chips and they do it well. Thanks Crown Fish & Chip Bar for a pleasant lunch!
