    First time in London, I had to try real Fish & Chips- I'm so happy we chose Hobson's! The service was amazing- super friendly and fast. The shop itself was bright and spacious. I got the cod and it was breaded perfectly. Light, airy and crispy- with delicate, clean fish. The chips were fried nicely and were savory. Loved the vinegar and mayo- they were great additions.

    Fresh & Crispy Cod! Shoulda had the slaw, though the chips were quite good The service was more than adequate

    The good things Clean and bright and the service was really good. Our disappointment was with the fish and chips. Absolutely no taste to it. This wasn't medium priced food either. We found delicious fish and chips at pub around the corner that came with mushy peas and was less money overall.

    This was my first time having some authentic fish and chips. Delicious We found that Hobson's had some solid reviews so we visited their Soho location. All of us ordered the classic fish and chips (cod) and, at the same time, received a massive piece of fried fish and chunky fries (I'm American what can I say). The cod was fried perfectly. Super crispy and the fishy interior just melted in my mouth. Combined with the tartar sauce, the meal was complete. This is exactly what I wanted. The service was quick and very amicable. Some critiques: the cod and "chips" were a bit lacking in salt, and the malt vinegar wasn't very strong. Very minor things as salt was provided and the tartar sauce was enough condiment for me anyways.

    Your average fish and chips. Wasn't bad however wasn't great. Big portions which is nice. Restaurant is small and intimate. It is quick and easy to order however would not personally go again.

    8.22.23 The vote is unanimous, the best fish & chips hubby and I have ever had. Fish and chips were both crispy and came out piping hot. The cod was also flaky. This was the only restaurant we tried whose reviews were accurate and didn't disappoint. Seating inside is limited, but there is outdoor seating available too. Just a note it is a bit stuffy inside. Fish and chips is obligatory to have when you come to England and this is the spot to go to. You will leave happy!

    Our first night in London called for Fish n Chips, and Hobson's came highly recommended. The space is great - clean, well branded and decorated, and very welcoming! The menu has a good range of offerings. Honestly there were so many other thing I wanted to try. We got the cod and the haddock - both fantastic but the haddock was next-level delicious. It's more fishy but I really like how great the flavor came through!! Other high note - the grilled halloumi. A perfect example of how exceptional the basics can be when done right. My ONLY complaint was with the service. Our waitress was great through the ordering process, but then we never saw her again. No checking on drinks; no checking on food; and when it came time for the check (after waiting for about 30 minutes) I finally went and fetched the check myself. But I wouldn't let this deter you from trying their delicious fish n chips!!

    A great restaurant for people looking for gluten free. Especially if you're wanting gluten free fish and chips to try. Service was pretty quick to sit and to get our food. Large piece of cod, lightly battered. Little weird to have the fish skin on the bottom half but easily peeled off. Chips were fresh and good. Side of coleslaw was delicious! Tried mushy peas side and would be ok not having it again! Weird minty taste to me. Also tried their cider which was was Bulmers cider, very good. A lot of seating at the restaurant. Bathrooms in the back.

    The fish was delightful! I ordered the cod and it was milky, fresh, and melts in your mouth with the perfect amount of crisp on the outside. The calamari was fresh and soft. The chips were ok the dryer side and lacked flavor. The place was packed when we got there but servers got us a seat in less than 5 minutes. It was quite loud at the location and they didn't know how to split a bill in two.

    This review is for a dine-in dinner meal on a Monday. And it's three stars based on the small fish and scant tartar sauce. Food: The cod was fresh, but boy was it small. Batter was decent. It was served with the tiniest portion of tartar sauce in the most annoying thumbnail sized takeaway paper container. I asked for more tartar sauce, and it came in the same sized tiny container. Chips were decent. Coleslaw (cost extra) was pretty good. Cost: £16.95 for one (small) cod and chips. £2.95 for the coleslaw. Overall: Service was OK. Staff just did what they needed to do, and that's fine. Lots of table options when dining in. Takes cards and cash.

    Hobsons had quick service and quality fish and chips! A convenient location made this a busy stop, but we were still seated within 20 minutes of arriving. They also offer takeaway!

    Fried cod

    We got fish and chips (1 cod and 1 Haddock) and fries for 2, and it was more than enough for two people.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

One eventually came to our table after sitting awhile. I of course had to try the fish n chips. A couple of veggie burgers were ordered and a regular burger. Surprisingly happy hour was still on at 8 o'clock so drinks were ordered. The food all came at the same time and everything was cool. The fish had a nice flavor from the fried batter. To me it was similar to Long John Silvers as far as the batter is concerned, but slightly better quality overall. The fries were standard. The only thing horrible was the very bland mashed green peas. They should be omitted from every pub across the country, but I think it is a traditional item included with the fish. The cocktails were good as well as the price. The sticky toffee pudding was something else I was advised to try while in London. I must admit it was really delicious. It came with a scoop of ginger ice cream and a warm buttery toffee sauce to pour over. It was delightfully warm and sweet and paired well with the ice cream. The cake itself was moist enough on its own with notes of brown sugar and molasses. I could have had seconds and thirds of this desert. Yum! The majority of my party didn't think the food was fantastic. The burgers happened to be somewhat alright. This was a first for me having pub food and I would have more again as long as I stick to the basics.

Yes, there are many pubs in London, everyone has their favorite, everyone has their local, and my "local" depends on where I am staying. In any case, several of us met here. The place was definitely hopping but one of our group arrived early and grabbed a table. We all ordered drinks, I had beer which was delicious. After perusing the menu, I ordered the standard- Fish & Chips, with Mushy Peas. It came out quickly and was fried to perfection. Everybody else who ordered food seemed happy with their choices. It was a great setting to meet up with friends, and I will happily come back here when in the area. A solid pub in a city of many pubs!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I ordered the beef roast, and we also shared a side of the creamy cauliflower, which was to die for. I truly cannot sing the praises of this restaurant enough. The service was personable and welcoming, making it easy and comfortable to ask questions and try new things. One of the managers (apologies I don't know her name) checked in on us several times and even encouraged a few of us to try additional menu items. The food came out quickly, and once it arrived, the table went completely silent because we were all too busy enjoying every bite. I highly, highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting London and even the locals. A solid 10/10 experience!

The roast looked great too, many of my friends saying the meat was great and the gravy was flavorful. The staff were ALL so friendly, even offering the charge a phone that was dying! The place itself feels like it's straight out of a movie, a true london pub. I cannot stop thinking about this fish. Mall Tavern, if youre ever in Minnesota, please send me the recipe.
