Sutton & Sons

Bloody hell this place got popular.
Quite possibly the best fish and chips in East London. Always top quality fish and tasty, perfectly cooked chips. I haven’t tried the rest of their menu but have eaten in and taken away on several occasions.
Try not to go on a Friday night despite the British tradition of fish and chips on a Friday — it’s crazy busy and if you arrive at 8pm for take away, bring a book or download a game to your phone as you’ll be waiting for up to 40 minutes for your take away as over 20 people wait for theirs before you. If you must go on a Friday (as I often must) then try to get there around 7:30 and you will be served relatively quickly.
They did used to deliver via deliveroo but they seem to have vanished from my app. I know they don’t deliver on Friday nights anymore which is understandable and have seen they have opened a couple of other venues on Essex road and in Shorediitch box park (avoid this one, the fish and chips is still good but we went when the place was dead and still waited almost a 40 minutes).
It’s cash only which is annoying. They have some wine from Borough Wines and some special ales. There’s also some homemade desserts on offer if they take your fancy but good luck, I’m always stuffed after eating the fish and chips and normally share the chips anyway.

I’m still salivating over this yummy fish and chips we had last night. We went to their location in Shoreditch at Boxpark and what a fun vibe! So many small restaurants to choose from and large farm style seating in the center. Their sign ‘best fish and chips around’ lured us in and we were not disappointed. Chose the haddock and the light crispy coating was delicious! Not too thick like the U.S. The fries were also delicious. Staff was helpful and friendly. We plan to go again during our visit.

I had fresh grilled mackerel and chips. Delicious! Mackerel isn’t standard, but it is what looked the freshest. The meal is straight forward, take the freshest fish, grill it fast and serve it quickly. The staff was helpful and were really good at discerning what would be best. Great fish, great chips, great beer. really is there more that you could ask for at a seafood place? Bring cash!

This is honestly the best fish and chips I’ve ever had!
It’s fresh and you can take away or sit in. We’ve also bought fish from they’re fish mongers slightly up the high street and cooked it at home (obviously not as good!)
It’s a tiny bit pricier than a normal fish and chip shop but it’s completely worth paying the extra couple of quid.

This is for their Boxpark location in Shoreditch.
Fantastic cod, beautifully cooked and moist inside, thick crunchy golden batter and absolutely no greasy excess. It almost felt healthy, if not for the ocean of chips that accompanied it. Chips are standard and vinegar and tartar sauce are provided free. For some reason they also sell 25p packets of mayonnaise and tartar sauce by the counter… Wish the cashier had told us the latter already came on the plate before we bought it.

Great food, best fish and chips in London! Just wish that they would let you pay by card, it’s a lot of cash for a chippy.

Best fish and chips in East London without a shout of a doubt! Awesome little eat in restaurant feel but also quality for takeaway as well!

Came in on a Saturday evening to grab some takeaway to sit in the park.
Takeaway menu is smaller than the sit in — will def have to pop back in to try everything I missed out on!
Service was quick and food was yummy. Lost a star from me because they charged for ketchup and tarter — I don’t know about you, but I think if you’re serving fish & chips, you should include the condiments. I’m assuming if you sit in, you get them on the house.

Yep yep yep, I think we found it boys and girls, the fish and chip Holy Grail! Wonderful selection of fish and seafood, everything was super, super fresh. The chips were to die for. The staff are really friendly. Decent selection of drinks as well.
It’s the opposite end of the city for me but Sutton & Sons, I will cross London again many times in my London life for some more of your delectable fish and chips!
Enjoy,

This may well be the best fish & chips in London. Probably the best I’ve had. Also: great local beers, friendly service, fresh fish (like thatyou can take home and ocok on your own), non-​greasy batter, excellent chips.
So why no fifth star?
Some of the other stuff is distinctly mediocre. Grilled oysters are OK, but drowning in breadcrumby-​parmesan powder. The lobster roll at £11 was three-​star-​underwhelming. Fine, but why bother if the fish & chips are so bloody good?
Just don’t eat any of that other stuff and chow down on the top-​quality — think McDonaugh’s in Galway on a really good day — fish and chips. Just have that. Not any of that other stuff.

I like the food. Had the fish and chips. It’s nice that they have a selection of fish to choose from. Also a few specials and other types of seafood. Next time I think I’ll get the mussels instead.
Really cool cozy feeling place. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The fourth star is missing because of the seating. Blasted benches! I hate em. Forget trying to look cute or graceful getting in and out of those things. Or when you have to ask the five other people to stop eating and pull the bench out a bit more for you and your non flexible ass.
STOP putting benches in your eateries. I know you don’t want us to get too comfy and take a long time but it really just makes me not want to come back at all.

Food was delicious, felt welcome and relaxed, fair price and good service. Couldn’t pay by card but was trusted to use a local atm and return to pay, which was nice. a good place to eat!

It takes a lot for fish and chip place to get 5 stars from me but this one really is fantastic! They are actually a fishmongers that have branched out — that’s what makes this place so damn great, the fish is so fresh (and that’s tough to find in London)
It’s not the cosiest of restaurants but it’s clean and modern and actually quite pleasant to sit in, by that I mean that the smell of stale oil doesn’t stick to your skin like it does in other places around here.
If you are looking for real fish and chips, this is the place to go, I think it’s even been given an award or two. Oh I forgot… they do take out in biodegradable boxes, which is lovely and convenient at the same time. I do miss it wrapped in newspaper though — remember those days!
