I stopped in here for lunch and was slightly disappointed. Rather than getting a takeaway I decided…read moreto eat in the small dining room in the back, which has several tables, a full menu with different seafood dishes. I ordered the cod and chips which came out relatively quickly. The fish was slightly over cooked and the fish batter did not look fresh, as the colour was a little too dark. The chips also were not the best, tasting as though they had been left out and reheated. I also had to wait for a long time for the waiter to clear the table and in the end I got fed up and went to pay at the counter. They were fairly busy and only one waiter - should think about hiring more staff. In the past o had a fairly good takeaway from here. I tried this place again on July 25, 2018 and again was disappointed. The fish was frozen rather than fresh and clumped up. Oil was not fresh. Taste just wasn't there. Such a shame.

Just visited again and I can write without any hesitation that this restaurant remains consistently good. Which is not always the case with eating establishments. one of which fall off in quality, service, value-for-money. My review is of eating-in. The takeaway food quality would be the same. A) Food - still delicious. Fish is very fresh - fried & grilled to perfection. Chips - old-fashioned chunky. Fluffy inside - crisp outside. Very generous portions. Also I discovered why their hummus & taramasalata starters are so good. Handmade in the restaurant. Not supplied by an outside caterer or from a jar. B) Service - terrific. Friendly and prompt. C) Prices - very reasonable. Similar to standard fish & chippies serving rather standard fare. All told this is a superb choice for dining-in. (Tables well spaced apart. And always a quiet ambiance). And great for take-out. They seem to work with all the food delivery applications - so people can order through those. Unfortunately for me I live 6,000 miles away! So a treat only when in London. I'm a very picky type. This place is my top pick in London!

This London chain was recommended to us by our friends who are longtime UK residents. We figured we…read morehad to try proper British fish and chips after tasting a couple of so-so meals. Poppies seemed like the perfect iconic choice with its old-school North London charm and 1940-50s repurposed memorabilia which feels like stepping back in time. The servers were attentive right from the start. We were pleasantly surprised when our food arrived quickly as everything was out within 10-minutes, piping hot and freshly cooked. My wife and I shared the classic cod fish and chips 4/5. The portion was decent, the fish was flaky inside with a nice crispy batter, and the chips were golden and tasty - nothing greasy, which was a plus. Loved the capped mini-cup of tartar sauce. This came with a side salad with crispy vegetables and creamy honey-mustard sauce. We stuck to the timeless Caramel Sticky Toffee Pudding (with a scoop of ice cream) smothered with warm sauce. The dollop of vanilla fused with the sponge cake & the buttery toffee sauce did it for us. Simple, comforting, and very British! Overall, Poppies delivered an authentic experience - great service, quick food, and that nostalgic atmosphere. We recommend it, especially if you're after a classic London chippy vibe without any fuss.

They even had signage around the outside of the restaurant flaunting how their fish & chips won awards. The service was decent here, but there was nothing super memorable about the service. Instead of just fish and chips, we decided to order and share the Seafood Platter so that we could sample other deep fried seafood items. Our overall impression of the seafood was the fact that it was rather bland. We had to use copious amounts of salt to add flavor to the deep fried foods. The fries were akin to 'steak fries' we have back at home in the states. We honestly had better quality fish & chips back at home. If this restaurant's fish & chips are supposed to be "award winning" in the UK, then it would not be a good sign for other restaurants around London.

Well I finally caught my unicorn today and it turned out to be three legged, wooden ass. Crown chip shop cafe looks really nice and quaint. Although looks score points, food wins prizes, and this is where Crown fell from grace. I love my battered sausage and chips. I love it a little to much and eat it more often than my gasping arteries appreciate. So I know a little about double dipping your chips to get them nice and fluffy inside. Sausages that are caressed with golden batter not imprisoned in dark yellow crispy mush. My chips today looked old, brown and tasted a little lacklustre. My sausage did not taste fresh and some of the batter around the sausage was as hard and chewy as cardboard. When I get good food I am prone to give my dish a little dance of appreciation. My take-out meal from Crown didn't even get a little shimmy. Disappointing.
