    Fish fillets with fries
    Andre R.

    Best fries I've ever had... no ketchup needed! Staff was super cool. Fish was excellent too!

    Delicious hush puppies! Truly a joy to eat because of the FLAVOR!

    The hush puppies were some of the best I've had.

    London Chippy has the best fish and chips in OC that I've tried! For $16, you get two big pieces of…read morecod on top of thick cut fries and tartar sauce. Malt vinegar is also available. I like that the fish is lightly battered so it's not as greasy. The fries were good too, if not a little on the salty side. I wanted to eat them all but had to stop myself from clogging my arteries further. Oddly enough, they also have Mexican food (which I am kind of fascinated by). Maybe I'll branch out and try that next time. Maybe. There's covered outdoor seating in TRADE. Parking can be challenging if you come during a week day during lunch.

    Came here for lunch on a Friday around 1:30pm. I had never been to this plaza by the airport before…read moreand was a little worried about parking based on other reviews, but there were plenty of open spots when I arrived. The storefront is almost hidden on the right side of the food hall and can be easy to miss if you're not looking for it. There was no wait, and I was able to order right away. They gave me a beeper, and I was able to find a nearby table without any trouble. I ordered the Fish N Chips, which was a generous portion. It came with two large pieces of fish that were nicely fried. The batter wasn't too thick, and the fish itself was tender rather than overly flaky or hard. The texture and overall quality were good, but it was a bit lacking in flavor, even with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The steak fries were crispy and not overly salty, which I enjoyed. Overall, the meal was average. With limited fish and chip options nearby, it's still a decent choice if you're in the area and craving it.

    I visited this establishment after Sunday evening church for evening rations…read more I ordered The Sampler and had Cod, Clams, Calamari and Scallops along with Chips (French Fries). Normally this comes with an Oyster but another Scallop was substituted as I don't care for Oysters... about the only type of seafood I don't care for. I did think the batter for the Calamari was too spicy. I had "wooder" to drink. Overall I was very satisfied with the meal. Well done H Salt. There was one all gender washroom which was not immaculate but was satisfactory. I was glad to see that paper towels were available. I have a bone to pick about the personal appearance of the employees at this establishment. I saw that the guys working at this establishment failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional so I am deducting one point as this is something I am OCD about. I was glad to see Pepsi was available though I didn't have any this visit and I was happy to learn that refills are free. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would get a solid B.

    Great food, personable and friendly staff, Great prices…read more Condiments are also plentiful, try the spicy chili sauce. Order your extra condiments like lemon, tartar sauce, cole slaw, and drinks when you order at the register. I recommend this restaurant and will revisit it again.

The expanded space creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. This time around, I had the salmon and my partner ordered the cioppino--both were absolutely exquisite. You can really tell the care and quality that goes into every dish. Service was just as impressive. Mia, our server, was cordial, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. The hostess was also welcoming and set the tone right from the start. It's great to see a place I've loved continue to grow and improve without losing what made it special in the first place. Highly recommend!

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

Of the many I've been to, this was the only one that had Branston pickle (it goes great with scotch eggs). The interior very much felt like British pub. This was worth driving an hour for.

    0 stars for the rude, unwelcoming service from Carrie…read more I've been here many times in the past 10 years for dine-in and takeout and wish I had reviewed before, because it would have been 5 stars. The food is delicious and I love the cozy feel and detailed theme of the entire restaurant. I arrived before my friend and asked if we could be seated in the dining room. Carrie hesitated and tried to talk me into the bar area. She said the dining room is usually for large parties. That is NOT true. I've been there with just my husband many times, as well as a small group (4). ALWAYS in the dining room, not the bar. She reluctantly seated me in the dining room and there were 2 booths that had only 2 people!!j Throughout our dinner, she commented "You guys are still here?!" "You guys have been here forever!" It was NOT busy or full and not near closing time. There were no "large parties". After I left for a few minutes, my friend told me that Carrie commented AGAIN about how long we were there (we had appetizers, dinner, dessert and tea!) And said it was slow that night but if it was busy as it normally is, she "would have had to kick us out"!!!! And she "just wanted us to know that". Also, the people who were already there when I got seated were "still there" the whole time we were!! I wonder if she said anything to them?? This was my friend's first visit to The Olde Ship. She loved the food and ambiance but said the service ruined it for her.
