Where the gravy man
As a northerner who lived in the east end for six years I developed a liking for " rock salmon ". My favourite !
You can't get outside of the deep south !
Being from Newcastle Iโm happy paying under half the price for a large fish and chips ๐คทโโ๏ธ like everything in London itโs just over priced
Nice fish and chips but you want to go to Rockingham West Australia. The flake is the size of a tee bone steak and a inch thick.
Best fish and chips is Golden Fish in Dagenham. Very tasty ๐ yum yum
Went there last Monday , chips were dry but the cod was good . I had large cod and chips (large was not very large)20 pounds to much to sit in
That looks absolutely stodge. Batter is shit, chips are old shit.
Every time my wife and I visit London, Poppies is a required stop!
just tell us what it cost as well
Why donโt chip shop reviewers ever sample the sausage or sausage in batter?
Looks delicious but very pricey but itโs central London ๐คค
THE REASON THAT I DONT GO TO POPPIES IS REGULAR COD AND CHIPS LARGE COD AND CHIPS PORTION SIZE THE SAME U EXTRA FOR LARGE WASTE OF MONEY THE PORTION SIZES ARE THE SAME
ketchup sucks I dont care where you live. youre a monster stop
Can't wait to go next week. Not eating for a week before I go. Going to get the large and in charge. Cheers.

Hmm,I may have to try this place.
One look at the menu impressed me.
Yeah,you can get bad fish and chips,for sure,but this place is clearly tight!
Also,one of my London obsessions is curry takeaway places,we donโt have those in my sad neck of the woods.
I will search your channel for the best one in London.
In 1995,I ate,almost daily at one at Earlโs Court,Palak paneer,and lamb curry with the basmati and naan.
Iโve literally had dreams about it.
If the vid doesnโt exist,make one,please!!!
Can't beat fish and chips , but to me gotta have mushy peas and curry sauce,
Meal for the gods,
Good video ๐
Don't do it! I'm at work (well my boss thinks so) and I can't look at this without salivating. Looks soooo good.
It's mediocre at best
Fish and chips in the UK dates back to English Catholicism. Eating meat was against Church doctrine on Fridayโs. Hence, eating fish.
Henry VIII may have strayed from the Catholic Church, but a lot Catholic customs still remain.
brillant wonder how did you make your way through them streets of foreigners
