Honestly I think I just wish there would have been some place I could sit and eat it. I genuinely think if I'd added more salt and vinegar to the cod, it would have bumped up a star in my book.

Phil is right, this place was voted the best fish and chips in Hackney and I have to say, value for money and taste, they didn't get it too wrong. It's a proper old school chippy. The lady serving you even had a stripey bib as a uniform. It will be greasy, there is no alternative (replace your chips with salad, grilled not fried) and it's a wonderful place to get Fish and Chips in the area. It's on an estate so the area might not be somewhere you want to travel to. It's more, for locals, run by locals.

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!

If you see the oysters and seafood cold appetizer-- definitely try it with Prosecco. Great staff, a really fun bunch that make you feel like you are eating at a friend's home.

Well, it is such a lovely chipper mainly down to the lovely owner 'George' himself & the fantastic chips! There were other people in the Q and they all knew him by name, so friendly.

I really really recommend them, I am a massive critic of potato chips, these really were fantastic, and only £1.30 a portion! Wow! Forget your overpriced fashionable chippers, this is the real deal!

All in all, has everything you expect from a chippy and doesn't disappoint. If its one critical opinion I would suggest would be for the chips to be cooked a little more crispy and to offer chicken salt.

They charge £1.20 for a bag of chips, (It still distresses me that chips cost more than one pound.) and you have to pay 10p for a sachet of sauce.

If you are in the area and you want something hot to eat, it is cheap and cheerful and you know what your getting.

Everything is pre-cooked and its not unusual to find a warming cabinet full of battered fish and the chip hopper nearly full of chips. I guess it great for 'fast food' Has improved over the last 6/9 months but as I've already said its Fish & Chips at it most basic. Have to agree with Leon C. above but want to say first that I don't pretend to understand the economics of the fish and Chip shop BUT the Chip Inn sells fish & chips for the same price as Masters Super Fish which is several orders of magnitude better. Yer pays yer money yer takes your choice!

We…read moreordered three sets of the fish tacos, one small fish and chips and one order of prawn tacos. Firstly the food didn't arrive after waiting for 1 hour and 10 minutes. We the approached the staff Inside (as nobody was coming out serve us) to ask for it to be taken away instead as it was starting to be cold outside. Once we had asked for the food to be prepared in take away boxes, the owner/chef got irate and started to swear in our direction saying that it would take another 30 minutes to put the food in boxes. After waiting for the food for another 10 minutes, the food arrived, we paid and then left. No apology was made from the staff which was incredible considering the time we had waited. On getting home and opening the takeaway boxes, the tacos did not contain any avocado which was advertised on the menu. The flour tortillas were stone cold and doughy, and it contained uncooked largely chopped bell peppers. Overall it tasted like a side salad dumped in to an uncooked tortilla. I would heavily recommend against the beach hut if you're after fish and chips In the Islington area. You would be much better off heading along Upper Street and going to Kennedy's.

The Beach Hut has a lovely seaside vibe and is run by a family. We played chess while waiting for our food, which was all freshly cooked.
