So for my last dinner In London, having not eaten any "English" food since arriving 3 days ago, I…read morewent for the obligatory fish and chips (we don't get this in Houston). One of my colleagues told me of a place close by our old office that was good, and I guess it was here since it is the only place close to Frying Pan Alley. When I arrived I saw that it was a "chippy" and smiled since I had never been in one before. I had an hour till closing so did not dawdle. Went whole hog for the large cod and chips with a side of mushy peas - gotta have at least one veg. For dessert I had the Spotted Dick with Custard. Even though they were fairly close to closing the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Good to see real chips and malt vinegar. Again, they don't use vinegar in the US. Ambience was rustic and nothing fancy and also nothing pretentious. Server was a friendly fellow so service was great. Not the cheapest at £29 but worth it, especially since I was eating cheaply for the past 3 suppers. Well recommended - two thumbs up.

Very simple, very dingy takeout spot. I got takeaway today and ordered the 2 piece chicken with…read morechips for a mere $5 which was a bargain considering the massive portion size. They were nice enough but didn't really have an easy to ready menu. The chips were decent although I asked for vinegar and they didn't taste much like anything. The chicken was phenomenal - very flavorful and juicy. I picked it off the bone it was so good. It was a very big portion of food for five quid and I would absolutely recommend it for a cheap lunch but I'm not sure if it's the best food in the area. Would go back.

Dessert review only! Okay so we learned about the British food called Spotted Dick and honestly,…read morethe group leans more towards immature. Anyway, I was tasked to find a place that sold it so we could say we ate it. Not many places do! Well, thank you Reddit for telling us to come to The Golden Hind. I made reservations, which weren't needed. The restaurant is located in a populated area but wasn't busy. It's pretty plain and simple inside. There's seating both inside and outside. The service by the staff was friendly, fun, and efficient. For dessert, we got Spotted Dick, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Apple Crumble. You have the option to get either custard or ice cream. So I tried the spotted dick and was not a fan. It honestly just tasted like a moist fruit cake with custard all over it. Sticky toffee pudding was sweet and delightful, wish we had more of this back home! The apple crumble was a balance between tart and slightly sweet all with a nice crumb. All were classic British desserts that were decent but not the best. The workers shared that The Golden Hind is known for their fish and chips. Desserts are decent here but maybe try them for what they're known for! Service is good. Located in Marylebone it was a fun spot to say we tried spotted dick.

I'm not sure if it was an online article or a recommendation I found on YouTube but I had noted…read morethis was the place to go for Fish and Chips. It was late evening and not many customers. The space is rather plain looking - nothing special. I ordered the Golden Hind Traditional Fish and Chips. The fish was good - crispy batter and a good portion size. Chips were average at best. Not being accustomed to mushy peas, I wasn't enjoying them much. Service was pretty minimal. They took my order, served the food, and provided the bill. No small talk, no smiles, purely functional. It was OK, but certainly no reason to return.

I've been to London many times now, but this last time I decided to finally have British fish and…read morechips. I saw a recommendation for Golden Union, and so we made our way over there for lunch towards the latter half of our trip. The place itself is unsuspecting but ended up being actually very cute when we went inside. The neon signs and vintage furniture make it feel cozy. The staff themselves were also very welcoming. We sat down and were handed menus and waters. I decided to split the haddock and chips with my friend while my other friends got their own portion of cod and chips. Everything was pricey, but it is London. The waitress was also very engaging and friendly since she noticed we were tourists and also helped one of my friends with his journey to try British tea for the first time. Overall, she was so sweet. Despite not having crazy high expectations, the haddock and chips was incredible. The fish was soft, and the chips were fresh and not oily at all. It felt very fresh, and I finished my portion feeling very satisfied. My friends let me try their cod, and the cod was also fantastic--very buttery. The haddock is definitely my favorite though. Would come back on my next trip!

The fish is definitely the star of the show! Come here to Golden Union!…read more This is definitely a busy location. I was fortunate to come here just before it was peak dinner time and I did see a lot of people waiting. If you look to come here at usually meal times, be ready for a wait! What Is great about this establishment is that they have many options for your fish in case you are craving something in particular. With it being my first time here, I was looking to try either the Haddock or Cod, and decided on the Haddock. Once I received my fish and chips, I was ready to eat and wow the fish was so good and well fried. I tasted how good the fried batter was while all the flavor of the fish was still inside! I could eat this fried fish all day! The batter had the flakiness to it which added a nice texture. As for the chips (fries), I will say that they were average and nothing too special. However, keep that appetite for the fish! Make sure you finish that! Service itself was pretty fast and prompt. They definitely look to get your food quickly so you can enjoy your meal so they can accommodate as many people as possible.
