Poppies Fish and Chips Review

Who doesn't love a traditional fish and chips? When I moved to London, I kept moaning about how I couldn't find a good chippy! They are everywhere in Glasgow, but not so much in London. Then I found Poppies.

Poppies is all things traditional fish and chips, from the jukebox in the corner to the 1950s memorabilia on the walls, this little place makes you feel like you have stepped back in time for some good old fashioned fish and chips!

Regular haddock fish and chips

And boy do they do fish and chips well. Chunky chips, and fresh crispy batter. They offer two sizes, regular and large. I went for regular which is more than enough (pictured above), but if you are extra hungry, then large comes with a bigger piece of fish or sometimes two regular sizes pieces - either way, it's huge.

Regular haddock fish and chips

There is also the option to have cod or haddock. I personally prefer haddock, and comes with tartar sauce and ketchup - they have thought of everything!

Mushy peas

And then there are all the sides. Every city in the UK tends to have their own favourites and Poppies caters for them all! Mushy peas, which is the perfect consistency...

Curry sauce

 ...curry sauce, which is packed with flavour....

Pickled onions

...and pickled onions which are my favourite! Canny beat a good pickled onion with fish and chips. 

Caramel Sticky Toffee Pudding

And for dessert, you have to go for their sticky toffee pudding. Poppies is the one place I always order this dessert. It might not look spectacular but you won't care when you taste it. It's the perfect cherry on top to fish and chips.
