Just the very best, without a contender. The batter is crunchy crisp perfect, the fish - big fat flavourful flakes every time. Lovely fat chips. Generous portions, friendly guys serving. If there is a delay due to being busy, they always give me a bit extra! They’d been so busy tonight (see below) they had run out of mushy peas, but were more than happy for M&S to supply the greens! Mum normally complains of portions being too big, wherever she eats. Not this time! She looked well excited and just tucked in! Nom, nom!

Fab freshly cooked fish & chips. Huge portion and friendly service. Just a couple of seats to eat in or great for takeaway

Incredible Fish and Chips in Barnes. I was dubious after trying the best fish and chips in Margate. I have to say that Tanya's Cod was the freshest and most tender cod I have had in the UK up until now. Just try for yourself.

This has been the heart of the community, nothing beats the traditional fish and chips. The owners and staff have always been welcoming, and make time to chat to customers. Actually it's the only fish and chip shop in Barnes.

Great service and great food. Actually in awe at how fresh the fish was considering we are in London. The guys were lovely too, thank you guys for great service and a great meal. Fish was amazing, chips were amazing and a great big portion.

I hate this place. They will make me fat because it's so good. Proper chippy. Note that they only do one size of fish (which it's like extra large) and they don't do cards, but it's well worth getting some dosh to have some yummy fish and chips here. You won't be disappointed. (On the photo maybe one quarter of the beast of a fish is already missing)

The staff here are fantastic, there is just something about the guy behind the counter that radiates friendliness. The chips are average but the fish here is phenomenal. Huge, flakey, juicy fillets of cod in a light crisp batter...mmmm. I don't really like fish and chips but if in ever with anyone who wants it this is where I go. Yeah, the fish is a little expensive at 9.50 but the size of it is bigger than anywhere I've ever been.
