Ken’s Fish Bar - (Near , South East)

4 /5 Florentina: Ordered the regular cod and chips with mushy peas. Fish was fresh-ish, decent white flakes inside and the batter was crispy in places, though a bit greasy and soggy towards the bottom of the box. Chips were proper chip-shop chips — thick-cut and soft inside — but could have done with another minute in the fryer. Mushy peas were standard, nothing special. Service was quick and no-nonsense: order, pay, wait three minutes, done. Staff were polite enough, didn’t chat much but got everything right. Price is about what you’d expect (£9.50 for regular cod & chips). Not the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, not the worst either. If you’re nearby and fancy a quick portion, it’s perfectly fine. I’d come back if I was passing, but I wouldn’t go out of my way. Just your average chippy, really.

5 /5 Sailesh Hota: Hands down an amazing place for fish and chips. I took a train down from London just to visit them for a nice piece of cod with chips. Massive portions, freshest fish and definitely generous servings of chips. I struggled to finish my bag. A true gem!

5 /5 Lucifer Sam: Best chip shop Ive ever visited. Hadnt been here for 17 years until today. I was curious to see if Kens was still as good as when I regularly visited back in the 2000s. The chips were absolutely brilliant, just as I remembered them. Place has had a refurb since 2008 and Ken has sadly passed away, theres a photograph of him on the wall. Only had chips, as it was lunchtime and I was pleased to see that vegetarian options are available now. I only had chips though as they are filling enough for me at midday. Kens is still the best in London, or indeed anywhere!

4 /5 Fabrizio Ori: Good food: chips are smaller than chunky ones, texture is very pleasant; fish batter was good but slightly oily. Cash only but there is an ATM (no fee levied) inside the Budgens next door. Mainly for takeaway/delivery, although there are a couple of tables and chairs outside if you want to enjoy on the spot.
