Golden Union

Modern comfort cooking

Golden Union is a modern chip shop based in buzzy Soho. This restaurant is bold and colourful with neon and tiles. The food is creative too. There are plenty of vegan choices, including fish and chips and vegan sausages with chips. Best of all, the classic comfort food here is budget-friendly.

The Dovetail

Food and Belgian brews

Specialising in Belgian beer, The Dovetail brings a taste of Belgium to Clerkenwell. It's a fuss-free and bustling venue that's popular for hearty food as well as drinks. The menu features filling favourites like fish and chips or mussels and chips, with plenty of vegan versions on offer too. That includes vegan fish and chips made from nori-wrapped tofu.

Unity Diner

Award-winning vegan version

Unity Diner strives to change perceptions of vegan food and serves a 100% plant-based menu. A variety of indulgent dishes are served, but the place has long been known for its award-winning fish and chips. This is tofish, made from tofu and beer-battered and fried, then served alongside mushy peas, tartare sauce, and traditional chunky chips.

Stones Fish & Chips

Top local takeaway

One of the most popular places for a takeaway in Acton, Stones Fish & Chips is a classic local chip shop with a few tables in its simple dining area. Sustainable and affordable fish is the focus, but vegan diners are also taken care of. You can sample a flaky plant-based fish fillet served with chips and mushy peas for a classic chip shop meal.

Cod Fellas

Lots of vegan choices

Head to Cod Fellas for fish and chips in Peckham. This is a family-run eatery with a nautical theme in the dining area. Fried fish is the speciality, plus burgers, pies, sausages, and chicken. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices are available, including tofish made from tofu and nori, imitation fish made with banana blossom, and plant-based sausages and pies.

Fed by Plants

Eat by the river

Enjoy a casual vegan meal on the South Bank at Fed by Plants. This down-to-earth venue serves vegan versions of classic recipes like burgers and pizza for lunch and sophisticated international plates in the evening. A vegan take on fish and chips prepared with marinated tofu is a big hit on this menu. Vegan beer and wine is also available.

The Mayfair Chippy

Serving sustainable food

Classic British cooking is served in a stylish venue with tiled walls, a checked floor, and vibrant artwork at The Mayfair Chippy. The menu concentrates on fresh and sustainable fish and seafood, from classic fish and chips to lobster macaroni cheese. Vegans aren't neglected; tofish made with tofu and nori seaweed is available.

The Kingfisher

Humble local chippy

The Kingfisher has a down-to-earth functional look and resembles a classic fish and chip shop. Whilst it looks traditional, the food is modern - there's a separate menu for vegan diners that includes fish and chips, burgers, and kebabs, all made from plant-based ingredients. The original versions are available too for meat-eaters.

Chip Shop

Fish, chips, music

Tasty food - including vegan fish and chips - is served at Chip Shop, but hip-hop is the real passion here. At this buzzy venue, you can have a meal to the sounds of a great playlist or join live music events. Chip Shop has its own radio station too. Food like burgers and wings are served, and there's vegan fish and chips or a starter of vegan cod bites to satisfy your cravings.
