Rock and Sole Plaice

Went on Saturday, 7 pm in a party of 11. Lovely Fish and Chips, huge portions, cheerful, friendly and helpful staff. Not the cheapest but we were all happy to pay a little extra for quality food and service. I'm happy to recommend it.

My favorite spot in London for fish and chips. Call me crazy but I even like the cramped space and the sometimes abrupt service. It's frequently very busy and there is a reason for the popularity.

My wife had just arrived in England after a 10 hour flight and went out for our 1st dinner in London.

I rarely leave food on my plate, but in this case....

The place was cramped inside and the servers were as cold as ice. It is obvious that no one has coached this team about the importance of first impressions.

Our fish was buried in a very thick-tasteless batter and the "sole" inside was covered with a layer of fatty-dark membrane of some sort.

We knew the UK had more to offer and thankfully found lots of great meals in other places around London.

After seeing this restaurant advertised we were looking forward to trying it. I wish we had not bothered, I have never been so disappointed with a meal. There was barely any fish underneath a thick hard batter that resembled cement render, the chips were almost as bad, and the whole meal was tasteless. Do not get taken in by the ads, leave well alone.

Before going to the theatre we were looking for to eat something tasty, and we were not disappointed.The fish was to die for, freshly cooked, and big fat home made chips...just like mamma made. Also, we could sit outside where heaters kept the evening chill away. The tea was the very best cup of tea i have ever experienced away from home, and the staff were smiling, helpful and cheerful, which is more than can be said for many places.Highly recommended, and i shall tell all my friends to go there.

Food - OK, not bad

Service - below average (rude and slow)

Value - tourist prices - a rip off

Recommend - no, way too complacent their ethos must be "why bother making an effort, there are plenty more tourists to be ripped off"

As a foreign couple, there aint many places in london to taste real british food but this shop is def a place serving really tasty fish and chips we believe. This restaurant drives us not to go to other fish and chips restaurants! really mouth-watering stuff!!

I ate there on a busy Sunday afternoon (2nd of Dec) and would definitely NOT recommend to anyone. Staff seemed not to care at all and was incredibly rushed when they came over.

We had to ask where is our order after 15 minutes of waiting (and only at that point were we informed that what one of us ordered - skate takes longer to fry, hence the waiting time).

As for the food itself, I felt that the batter is extremely heavy and the chips were floury. Left most of it on my plate Overall, one of the worse fish& chips I had in a long, long time!!

To the point that I would rather eat the one offered in the canteen at work- which is certainly not a top notch place.

I rarely review places, but this time around I felt compelled to warn people against it.

Well I was there Weds 17th November, and I had Cod and Chips, it was beautiful and our waitress was a very pleasant Chinese young Lady, tables were a bit squashed could do with an extension, but that is only because it is so popular. I work for a major Retail Store in Essex and have told all my workmates so they will be paying a visit. Well worth one. Thank you.
