Fishcotheque

The wittily-named Fishcotheque is a destination for classic fish and chips in Waterloo. It’s a well-established restaurant for this typical British comfort food, with fish delivered fresh every day from Billingsgate Market. All of the ingredients used here are of top quality, with the chips always made from specially-selected Maris Piper potatoes for the ideal texture. If you’re craving a simple and familiar meal in a cosy environment right in the heart of the city, Fishcotheque is a winner.

Immediately inside the restaurant you’ll see a traditional chip shop counter where you can order a takeaway. If you’re dining in, there’s a smart restaurant area with tables, comfortable booths, and a striking mosaic of the restaurant’s name. It’s a welcoming setting for enjoying food that’s been much-loved in London for generations.

The menu is typical chip shop food focused on battered fish and chips, with classic options like cod and haddock. Grilled sea bass fillets are available too. Typical sides from chip shop curry sauce to mushy peas, pickled eggs, and bread and butter are all here. If you’re not a fish fan, there’s still plenty to choose from. Go for a burger, a pasty or pie, an omelette, or fried chicken. One thing that really makes the Fishcotheque menu stand out is the dessert options – as well as the conventional apple pie and chocolate fudge cake, this place also offers that legendary Scottish treat – the deep-fried Mars bar. You probably won’t want to eat it all on your own!
