On a dreary cold day, we stumbled in and I ordered the Haddock & chips...nothing like Fried goodness to brighten the day! Fish was cooked well, no excess grease drippings (same goes for the chips). One downside, the dish was served with the crappy pre-packaged Heinz Tartar Sauce. If they're going to serve sauce, why not with one that is as good quality as the fish? Oh well, I stuck with the vinegar & lemon. Stellar! read more

Yesterday I went in and waited . There were 2 other people before me . An older man who seemed like possibly the owner came and smiled asking for my order and gave me my chips . I went out took a bite and they were cold chips ...went further into eating and they were all even colder Not good mate ! I go regularly and the English speaking tall guy always serves hot chips . Whoever it was yesterday , smarten up ! read more

THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS NEARBY. Fish was soggy, chips were good. But, the service sucked. The man at the fryer, mainly. I order my fish and chips to go. When I walked further into the restaurant to look for a napkin and ketchup, the man (tall, bald, tattoos) said, "You ordered takeaway, now go," and pointed outside. Anyway we went back and forth and he became confrontational. I said I was looking for a napkin since I did not receive one. I asked him why he was so mad and he said I have not seen him mad. I regret giving this place my business. read more

I stopped in here because of the other positive reviews. My first impression was that it is sparkling clean! We were told to walk through to the seating area in the back. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars was because neither of the two waitresses brought us a menu for about 5-7 minutes. Once they realised, they took care of us and the food came out very quickly. We had two medium cod and chips. The fish was lovely and fresh and crispy. You could tell that the oil it was fried in was super clean. Same with the chips - there was a nice combination of crispy small chips and larger softer ones. The portions were very big. My daughter and I shared the medium. The bill was very reasonable and I'll definitely be visiting again! read more

The Pier - Super fresh fish and clean crispy batter! - Fish & Chips Near Me - London, XGL

It was a blustery sort of day in Greenwich, the kind where the sun is bright enough to tempt you outdoors but the wind reminds you it's a long way til summer yet. Cravings for fish+chips struck so we did the obvious and yelp-apped our way to this place. It hit the spot just right - I had a medium cod and chips served 'open' to take away, so essentially a cone of chips wrapped in paper with the fish ungainly balanced on top. I liked the batter - light and crispy so you could really appreciate the fish without just getting mouthfuls of fried batter. The chips also nicely spanned the texture spectrum - a good mix of squishy soft ones with yummy crispy bits too. I liked that you could add your own salt and other condiments to your taste rather than them going crazy on it. The guys behind the counter were really friendly and it was nice to share a smile and brief chat too. Though from the looks on their faces I think I may have looked a little precarious with my cone! My date then had the treat of watching me eat the decent-sized fish whilst walking (not the most graceful thing I did in front of him that day...eek). With all the pretty places nearby I'd defo recommend taking out rather than eating in - we headed to the Cutty Sark and then strolled towards the river, taking a pit stop on a bench to concentrate on eating. It was a good value warming treat in the windy weather and the portion size was so generous I had trouble finishing it. Not that I needed to worry - my date managed to eat a large and still help me out! read more

Walk by drop in while looking for fish and chips in Greenwich. Was ok. Chips not cooked the way through, the fish was breaded well but could have used another 10-15 seconds in the fryer. Tartar sauce was authentic British Heinz 57. Not a bad experience and right priced but wouldn't seek out again read more

A friend of mine who grew up in England said I must order fish and chips from a shop and eat on the street in order to experience the real deal. I'd seen the meal at pubs around Cambridge and London but didn't finally see such a shop until I visited Greenwich Village. With flocks of local families and teenagers in line for food and eating outside of the shop while waiting for the bus, it seemed to be popular in the area and fit the description my friend gave me. It lived up to expectation, as I could choose from a variety of affordable fried fish to go with the chips, and there were a few other British favs on the menu, like bangers and mash, but really nothing else and most customers did takeaway. I went with the classic cod, as suggested by the woman behind the counter. At a medium size for the fish and medium size for the chips (small wasn't available), these were generous portions. In the traditional fashion, the dish was served in paper cone, and there was little grease that showed. The fish was incredibly fresh, juicy and flaky and the breading was well-coated and crisp. The chips were thick-cut and crisp on the outside while maintaining a soft consistency on the outside. This is the perfect quick, affordable, filling and authentically British meal! read more

A guy I knew took me there one time. It was so good. Hopefully when I go back to London I go there again because, yes, if was so good. The fish tasted like it was fresh from the water that was what I liked about it. read more

Fast food fish and chips. Fresh fish, nothing fancy, not cheap though. Great service, friendly service. A good place for a quick bite. Nothing fancy but does the work. read more

We decided to take a Greenwich to visit the cutty sark . When we got there we were really hungry and this place looked really interesting. We weren't disappointed the food was really tasty I had minced beef and onion pie and chips. Not very exciting I know. My mum had rock and chips. The latte was good too. Nice friendly helpful staff too 10/10 read more

Good cod and chips are ok a bit thick and under cooked. Decent price. A little stuffy inside. But overall a good experience. 2 plates of cod and chips and two burgers and fries. 36 pounds. Would recommend if needing a quick bite on main drag on Greenwich. read more

Best fish and chips in Greenwich. Get the classic cod. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, whatever you please. Enjoy with fresh thickly cut chips. I think the real charm was the old-school paper cone wrapping. It really absorbed the oil well, and I felt assimilated into British culture. No, not really. But the fish and chips here is really good. One serving is a meal for me. If you've never been to England or tried real British fish and chips, get out of London and enjoy this place near the Royal Observatory. Or if you just really love fish and chips, this place would help heighten that affection. read more

Ordering and the fish & chips' arrival took a long time. While waiting, I noticed that all the bottles of what looked like vinegar on each of the tables were labeled "Non Brewed Condiment With Colour" i.e. not vinegar but mild almost tasteless weird processed acid with a bit of artificial colouring. I wish I'd seen this before I ordered, I would have left. But at least they're honest - the bottles were clearly labeled! And it did not taste of vinegar/l... The fish was way too greasy - mostly just tasted of oil - and the chips were tired not fresh. There is far better fish & chips to be had elsewhere in London. Avoid this tourist trap... read more

After a long day walking around Greenwich, this was a very good spot to have dinner. The portions were generous and the prices were correct. Also, the attention was very nice. I think it is one of the best places to have fish and chips. read more

Fish and chips were flavorless. Had to add lots of salt and vinegar. Chips were underdone. Breading on fish was nice but didn't save it. Very dissatisfied, especially for the price. read more

I AM JUST REVIEWING THE CHIPS. Actually, I am just reviewing the large order of chips, "open," with vinegar and salt, shared with the one I love while standing at the bus stop waiting for the #188 to Russell Square (in bright wintery sunshine after touring the observatory). I knew that this joint would have excellent chips because it was rammed with teenagers when I went in. Teenagers know their chips. And indeed these are hot, perfectly fresh, fluffy/creamy on the inside, and toothsomely crisp without. The small order is one pound seventy. The large is two pounds fifty. The large order was almost bigger than my head, and I wear a men's size large hat. Soooo. For chip perfection: 5 stars. For value for money: 5 stars. For the perfect day in that lovely place? Well, Pier Fish Restaurant can't take credit for that, but it probably worked in their favor. read more

Curious about the best chips in Greenwich? This is where you'll find 'em. It's so simple in here. Come in (bit of a squeeze) order some chips, throw your own salt and vinegar over them (although, try not to throw it over your date's sweater and in their eye - they won't like it if you do that. Ooops) then pay about £1.20 and leave. Then you have a choice I guess - where to eat your yummy yummy yummy yummy chips? By the Cutty Sark looking at the boats? In the market watching the traders pack up for the day? On the way to the cinema? Or walking through the University grounds? Doesn't matter where you go - the chips are aces. read more

pricey for what you get. sat at a table, but waited and no one took our order. decided to just do takeaway (which is cheaper anyways). read more

Mediocre fish and chips. Pretty dreadful scampi and chips. Services abrupt, rush and beyond rude. 2 waitress arguing amongst themselves. Heard complaints from nearby tables about speed of service and quality of food. Take away costumers seem to be given priority over seating costumers at the restaurant. Avoid if possible read more

I'm perplexed that the people of Yelp have given this place 4.5 stars. We relied on you, and we feel betrayed! OK, seriously though, this is not a 5 star or even 4 star place, even accounting for what it is (a cheap hole-in-the-wall fish and chips place). The big problem was that the chips were really, really bad. Like, I don't understand how they screwed this up, but they were not fresh tasking. They were alternately too soft and not crispy on the outside or rock had (but still not crispy). From reading other reviews, it seems like you salt them yourselves, but we didn't get any salt on our table, so that wasn't an option. The fish could have used salt too. It was fine, but again, very underseasoned... with all that batter, we still didn't get much taste. We got a few shreds of lettuce in one corner of our large plates. I guess it was meant to be a salad? In any case, it was so minuscule and sad looking that it provoked nothing but laughter. The service was fine, we were quick in and out, and the prices weren't unreasonable for the giant piece of fish I got. But still, it wasn't worth it, and I wouldn't call it good. read more

Looks nice shame about getting our order home to smell in my piece of fried fish the unmistakable aroma of... AMMONIA!! I broke a piece off and wrapped it placing it in the fridge before walking back with the rest to their shop only to be told "i don't believe you" this almost became a re-enactment of the dead parrot sketch when I literally had to slap the fish out on the counter and make him smell it and still he said " i don't believe you it's fine" I mean, come on!!! Eventually i did get my money back after warning that I had preserved a piece for health inspectors if needed! everything else in our order was OK which makes this even more bizarre!!! read more

I tried The Pier today and I must say that the food was good in general. I think the cod crust was a bit too oily and they might have put some more salad together with the fish and chips. Despite to this, the portion was generous, the food was tasty and the place very clean and tidy. I would recommend it. read more

Had the fish (Cod) and chips here and both were great! Didn't think I'd be able to handle a large but once I had a bite, it wasn't hard to finish it off. It's a little hole in the wall but don't let that stop you from checking it out. This is a must stop for foreigners that want to try authentic British fish and chips. I always tell anyone visiting not to get it at a pub but a real fish and chip shop. read more

Friendly service, clean toilets.Food was very nice delicious crispy fish & chips and calamari. Mmmm

I'm a Londoner and chose this place from these reviews, as I had rellies visiting Greenwich. This is the WORST fish and chips I've had for years - appalling, tasteless and chips like soggy socks. It also took AGES to arrive. I wish I had settled for some cheapo cheese sandwiches from a supermarket! Even worse than the 'food' was the staff who had grouchy faces, disgusting attitudes and when I commented about the standard of the 'fish'.......she just shrugged her shoulders!! I wasted nearly £50.......pl;ease dont even waste a pound here, there are loads of better eateries just up the road towards the park. read more

Looks quite spit and sawdust from the outside. But the food is great! About the best chips ever and the fish is really nicely done as well. There's an eating area at the back that looks really 'old style fish and chips' if you feel like eating in. And very reasonably priced. read more

Visited Sunday lunchtime. Chips were chewy, fish batter soggy and greasy - you don't want to hear about the salad (okay, it's just a ha'penny's worth of chopped lettuce). Despite shop being quiet food took 25 minutes to arrive and no reason given for delay by unfriendly waitress. Try next restaurant up or plenty of others around; we're sorry we didn't. read more
