Got the fried haddock. It was okay. Had a good crisp, juicy, but The batter could use some seasoning. It was so plain. The tartar sauce was not good. It didn't help with the bland batter. And the coleslaw was just okay, we didn't finish it. It was heavy in mayo with no other taste. Service was fine. read more

Hobson's Fish & Chips - Haddock - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

Hobson's was such an amazing experience for our first time having fish and chips in London! When we arrived there was a pretty long line but they got through it quickly and we were seated within about 15 minutes. I ordered the fish and chips and opted for the cod (they have multiple different fish options to choose from). The fish was so fresh and the batter around the outside had a perfect crunch to it without being too much. The fries were also delicious and my toddler couldn't get enough! We also ordered some pints of their local beer which paired perfectly with our meals. The staff was so kind and sweet with our little guy and we were impressed with how large the place actually is! The restaurant is in SoHo which is so cute and has tons of shops to browse as well as some fun art. Walking SoHo really was a joy IYKYK! We will definitely visit Hobson's again when we are in London. read more

Hobson's Fish & Chips - Fish (cod) and chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

Inside of the restaurant had limited seating, but still spacious. It also looked like a typical chain restaurant and didn't have a special "London" touch. The food was mediocre. All of the food was fresh and and came out very hot, but the fried fish did not have any seasoning on it. The breading on the fish was good and the fish was flaky. The grilled fish was seasoned perfectly. The sticky toffee pudding was way too sweet and tasted like it was doused with maple syrup. However, the service was absolutely terrible. The servers rarely checked on us to see if we needed anything and how our food was. read more

We came specifically to this area of town to check out the gluten free fish & chips. Everything is labeled on the menu for allergens and majority of the menu is GF. I had the GF cod which was great! The GF breading doesn't hold together great but still has great taste. The sides coke a la carte and we tried the mushy peas, chips, and coleslaw. The coleslaw was fantastic- nice and creamy & paired well with the cod! The chips were hot and fresh- no complaints. The mushy peas were not my favorite- they definitely had a minty taste. I am from the US and have never had mushy peas so may just not be a taste preference. Our server was nice- a little slow for service (for ordering and getting our check) but she was the only one working and the restaurant was relatively busy. The food came quick & was fresh though! Would definitely recommend checking out while in London. read more

Came here for dinner and the line was out the door. Since it was raining and cold we decided to get takeout. The fish was nice and meaty. We got both cod and haddock. Both were fresh tasting but the was definitely better. The coating was a tad soggy but that was probably from not being able to eat it right away. The fries were okay. Nothing special. I wish it was crispier. Onion rings were delicious! I had wanted gravy but they sold out so we got beans instead. I thought they were a little bland. Wish it was sweeter. Coleslaw was standard, again nothing special. read more

I think I was expecting like the greatest fish and chips because that's what everyone said and sure it was good, but nothing to write home about. I thought the cod was fine and the chips were just okay. Fish was fresh but I would probably look at other places to see if they have a better crust! read more

Amazing!!! If you are gluten free this is a must in London. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small but it's fast dining. Huge tasty portion. Excellent batter. It was my first meal after landing in London. read more

We popped in today about 4pm and had a lovely late lunch. This modem bright and lovely chip shop is everything London deserves. The staff were lovely. Sammy got us seated and took our order without any fuss or muss. We sat amongst tourist and locals, very nicely. We had the cod and chips. I wanted the mushy peas, but will save that for next time. The fish was fresh and we got a very big piece. The chips were also quite generous and simply delicious. And all for under $17 pounds! Have a go soon. Be generous to the lovely staff and grateful for the cleanliness, clean Loo and overall good experience! See website for menu and locations. read more

Solid fish and chips. Staff here are very helpful and nice as well. The service is fast and they really know how to get people in and out very quickly. Interiors are also clean. I also tried their sticky toffee pudding which was expectedly way too sweet. I wouldn't particularly recommend it - I would stick to the fish and chips read more

This was a really great spot for fish and chips! A nice little family owned spot with a few locations. Extremely clean spot and the food was very filling and very fresh. Would definitely go again! read more

Came here for the vegan "fish" and chips so this review is only for the vegan version. I had read an article about Fish and Chips shops in London that offered vegan options and this was one of them. The article did say that Hobson's wasn't the best for vegan "fish" mostly because instead of a fish substitute, they use a banana flower as the "fish". But Hobson's was the shop that was nearest where we were staying so we gave it a go. There was a long line but we were seated within 15 minutes, despite some woman trying to cut in line before us, as if we weren't standing there in line...rude. Service was pleasant but not overly so, and quick. We ordered the vegan "fish" and chips, mushy peas, cole slaw and the deep-fried Mars bar. Well, the Mars bar came first...odd...but the server did apologize for that. So we took a few bites while it was still hot. How can this NOT be good, right? So we saved the rest for after the main meal. The article I read was right about the banana flower. The texture was not good. Think tough and chewy, reminded me of the tough, outer leaves of an artichoke. So we didn't finish it. The chips were piled next to the "fish" so they were soggy, maybe from all the steam and didn't have much flavor, despite adding a ton of vinegar and salt. Mushy peas were good and so was the cole slaw. On the whole, I was a bit disappointed because I had hoped at least the chips would be good. Maybe it was just an off day. They were packed so they must be serving some great food. I really do appreciate that they offer a vegan option. I think that is a great thing. read more

Fish & Chips is not as easy to find as it used to, so we were walking around the area north of Big Ben. And decided after all this walking that we were hungry.and it's a fish and chips kind of day! Oh for anyone that doesn't know what chips are, it's fries lol. So when we're in a city that we're not sure on the yelp reviews since it's not as big there yet. We go to our fall back way per internet. Ask some police men or women, were is the best places to get fish and chips, they said Hobson's so we walk some more until we reached Hobson's and by the time we got there, we were starving. This place was packed, open kitchen and a lot of staff. So we ordered our fish & Chips, now I think I should have ordered the Atlantic Cod instead of the hoddock that's a bigger piece but I feel the og is Cod. My mistake but it's still good and I wished they had the malt vinegar. Maybe just nit picking. That's what I remember, and the last place we ate at last week at a pub also used this fish both were good. Service was awesome. read more

Clean, classy traditional fish and chip shop in the heart of soho. Beautiful and delicious fish batter was light, with just the right level of crunch. Fish was tender and juicy. They also offer a nice selection of drinks and sides- such as coleslaw, mushy peas, onion rings, etc. Service was fast and friendly. Perfect meal - just the right amount for a single serving. read more

I wanted to try out fish and chips for the first time, and chose Hobson's as my destination. I was quickly seated and ordered the traditional cod with standard chips. The food came quickly and oh my. The flaky cod inside was light and the exterior fry outside was crisp and not oily. The chips (fries) were also not soft and pretty crispy as well. The restaurant was brisk with customers, but the staff were friendly and accommodating. All in all not a bad place to stop for a bite of fish and chips. read more

Our hotel was surrounded by many pubs advertising fish & chips. However, I was in search of The Best. After quizzing several of the locals, I decided to take an Uber ride to Hobsons. (The store is out a ways from the center of London) It was mid afternoon on a Tuesday. Upon entering, we were surprised to find we were the only customers. We ordered at the counter and proceeded to chose a table in the rear. Our order appeared in a timely manner. The "waiter" who delivered our food turned out to be the owner. Very friendly, upbeat and had some time on his hands. We were able to hear the history of his store, his philosophy of cooking with clean grease and the special frying equipment that he uses. He obviously took this fish & chips thing very seriously. Great conversation with a sincerely "dedicated" owner. The food was... well... just SPECTACULAR. Everything you could wish for: fresh, moist cod, expertly battered and fried to a golden brown perfection. And to make it even more perfect, the fish-to-batter ratio was right on point. It is a particular irritant to me when a nice looking piece of fish turns out to be a little amount of fish covered with a thick layer of batter. And then there was the onion rings. Well... they were SPECTACULAR. Thick sweet rings of onion again, battered and cooked perfectly. In all, this was tied for THE BEST fish & chips I have ever had. (The tie was with a small restaurant in New Zealand) I will be back here some day when I get back to London. read more

This cute and cozy restaurant deserves all the praise. We caught the last open table before the lunch rush and people-watched while we waited for our waitress. She was so sweet and accommodating with my gluten allergy, and recited my GF order as it arrived to the table; eliminating any doubts of mixing my plate with someone else. It was a life-changing meal as I have never been able to eat a fully fried dish unless it is prepared by myself at home. They even use a separate fryer and use GF batter. The chips (fries) were GF as well and so scrumptious! Knowing me, dessert was a no-brainer, so I went with the GF warm apple crumble. Let me just say it was perfect for an overcast day in London. I downed the entire meal with a few glasses of their house red sangria that was so inexpensive and tasty. read more

Hobsons has the best fish and chips I had during my whole stay in London. This spot was highly recommended to us on multiple platforms as well as by the concierge desk at our hotel. It's a smaller restaurant, but the service and food are spectacular. I ordered the cod sandwich and chips. I wanted to go back the next day for more. Their batter is the absolute best. If you are in London, this is a must!! read more
