  • Now this is an interesting one today, I've headed to South East London to the famous Golden Chippy which has had a reputation for being London's best fish and chip ship. I've been on the hunt for a good chippy for a while now and I'm praying this is a good one!

    As a Yorkshireman who's been exiled to London, I've really struggled to find a decent chippy. That said, when I was in Greenwich, I called in here and was genuinely surprised by the quality, service and the fact it felt like a proper 'chippy'. Really do think it's the best in London (and I've tried a fair few!).
    Keep up the great work Gary!

    So glad you enjoyed this Gary! It was enjoyable watching you! And to you and the Gary Eats community, this is Michael from Florida. All is well here. I live on the edge of the Everglades about 20 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico so no need to fear storm surge. I was on the dry side of the storm, so there were tornadoes all around, especially further east, but none here. I feel very fortunate, but lots of my fellow Floridians were not so fortunate. It’s going to be a long recovery. But I appreciate all your concern!

    Excellent quality. The owner actually knows where his fish has come from. I think it's pretty easy to know why the fish and chips is better in the North East. A lot (most?) coastal towns have their own fishing fleets, like Whitby, Grimsby etc. So it's basically coming off the boat to the chippy. Even my little village (Marske) had fishing boats.

      Got to back your food if you call your shop it😂 open yourself up for major criticism if it’s not good. Mumfords was king. Same family passed down from father to son throughout its years. However because it’s old school they didn’t deliver or advertise. In Thurrock so many new people have moved here in last 30 years. Many people hadn’t heard off it. Despite food being top top quality shop was down a side road so didn’t even benefit from much through traffic. So lockdown was the final nail

      Tory and Labour leaders criticise ‘tedious culture war’ over Golden Chippy mural

      Greenwich’s Labour and Conservative leaders have united to criticise the “tedious and disingenuous culture war” spread in the media over a chip shop’s Union Jack mural.
      Anthony Okereke and Matt Hartley set aside election campaigning at last week’s council meeting following repeated stories wrongly claiming that the owner of the Golden Chippy on Greenwich High Road had been ordered to remove a mural because it featured a Union Jack.
      The chip shop is in the tightly-policed Ashburnham Triangle conservation area where any changes to buildings - including murals - have to be approved by the council
      BBC London, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, GB News and the News Shopper all ran stories about the mural in the last two weeks of March.
      The Golden Chippy was once named the best in London and has an eye for publicity - a similar story appeared in the Evening Standard in 2018, this time about a 17-foot sign above the shop also bearing a Union Jack.
      Conservative leader Hartley - who said the shop sold “cracking fish and chips” - told the meeting: “This media coverage continues to appear despite the story being repeatedly and comprehensively debunked.
      “These stories continue to be shared and pushed online by individuals who are trying to create some kind of tedious, disingenuous culture war.
      Hartley conceded that the shop sold “cracking fish and chips” Credit: The Greenwich Wire
      “The council’s request for the mural to be removed is a simple and straightforward and really quite boring planning enforcement issue relating to the conservation area. The fact the Union Jack happens to appear on this mural has absolutely nothing to do with the council’s request for it to be removed.”
      “Our residents rightly expect that everyone should play by the same rules when it comes to the planning system. So would the leader agree with me that this issue is actually a simple question of that good old fashioned British sense of fair play.”
      Okereke, the Labour leader of the council, responded: “This council is extremely proud of our country. I would reiterate, we have not asked the business to remove the advert because of the presence of a Union Jack. This is not a culture war and it would be disingenuous to state otherwise as certain media outlets have suggested.
      “Rather, we have taken action against an advert placed in a conservation area without planning permission. It is therefore a straightforward planning enforcement issue. Sometimes in local government, things are really boring - just not in this case.”

I'm so confident that you'll be more than impressed that I'll wager if you don't absolutely love the breakfast in there I will eat your hat or pay for the breakfast myself.

      Rock is Dogfish, not bullhuss. Aka rock salmon. ( though the name normally refers to several species of the same family) Dog fish was what was normally used, as it was caught havily as a by catch.. huss if far less common to catch. Used to be the standard fish n chips here in Yorkshire. Dont see it about anymore though.

    This place was such a refuge for many of us during the pandemic, as they stayed open for take out and you could treat yourself to a nice portion of cod and chips when everything was so bleak. Greenwich park is only a 10 minute walk away as well.

    Rock (aka Rock Eel/Bull Huss/Dog Fish. It is actually a small member of the Shark family) can be caught along many beaches around the UK.
    I caught mine along the 18 mile long Chesil Beach, in Dorset (A wonderful fishing spot, gets very deep at a short distance out, so Ideal for fishing).
    People love Rock not only for the taste, but because it's only got one bone.

    Hi Gary! You're going to start looking like a delicious piece of yummy fish, if you keep up the chippy reviews! 😅 The good F+C videos can be a little hard to watch, because it all looks so tempting. The fish itself & the crunch of the batter looked & sounded amazing! Mushy peas seem to be more a miss than a hit in many places, so really glad these ones were good. Such a quality & enjoyable review as always Gary. Take care. 😊💙

    Noticed the sides didn't include fried or steamed dim sims or potato cakes or scallops as some call them or fried scallops which are standard side dishes in Australia. Hoping that one day I see them on a British menu somewhere. Mushy peas, curry and gravy aren't something you see in Australia but the vinegar from the pickle onion jar is popular. All the same the fish and the chips did look nice. 😊

It’s a definite 9/10 as the vibe is always great and the batter is perfection. Your Scottish trip must include a Mars bar and hoping an Arbroath Smokie.

    The breadcrumbs on the scampi where way over, the fish portion too small, the chip portion minimal. Worst of all £7 for a main chips (on the menu.) It's one of the things I really miss about living up north (left 30 years ago,) the southern half of the country has no idea what fish and chips really is and don't get me started on most places mushy peas.

      That's right, and it's noteworthy to be aware that if the dilution rate is not correct it can do you harm. When I was doing a lot of traveling I used to keep a bottle of malt vinegar in the car. Another reason for doing this was if they wrapped the F&C up (because it seems that outside Yorkshire very few understand what 'I'd like them open please' means) the paper absorbs most of the NBC anyway.
