Quick info
About Five Star Fish Bar
At 118 New Kent Rd in London, Five Star Fish Bar is a fish and chips shop with a second menu of Turkish-style kebabs. That gives one counter two options, so a group can order battered fish and chips alongside a kebab plate. The lamb doner comes in a mixed lamb and chicken version, and kebabs are served with a homemade chilli sauce and a garlic sauce. Chicken wings are cooked over charcoal, which sets them apart from the fryer-based side of the menu. Scampi and chips is also available. The owner is on hand and serves customers directly.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb kebabs draw the most praise, from the lamb doner and mixed lamb and chicken doner to the Adana kebab and lamb wrap, with large servings and homemade chilli sauce singled out. Fish and chips comes close behind, with the fish described as cooked perfectly and the portions as huge. Charcoal grilled chicken wings and kofte get mentions too, and the owner is repeatedly called friendly. The main complaints concern orders going wrong. One delivery of scampi and chips arrived cold, soggy and under-cooked. Another customer opened a takeaway meant to hold a lamb shish kebab and found fish, then could not get anyone to answer the phone. One reviewer says the place itself isn't particularly nice and prefers takeaway. Even so, one group returned three days running and took a photo with the owner, and another found the order ready and hot on arrival, with several extra sauces thrown in.

“Outstanding and unexpected quality. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the place. Since living in London, this is honestly the best fish and chips I’ve had. Huge portions, with excellent fish and perfectly cooked chips. The place itself isn’t particularly nice, so it’s better to get it as takeaway and eat it at home. The owner was also incredibly kind: he had my order ready and hot exactly at the time I passed by, and even threw in several sauces (although he did warn me that ketchup and similar sauces don’t belong on fish and chips!)”

“I ordered today a lamb shish kebab to take home and when I arrived home it was fish instead of lamb. They should pay attention to orders being placed. I call the fish bar and it rang continuously without someone picking up the phone. It's okay this time because they really serve good food so I won't be harsh. I should have opened the box and check. I trusted them to much because I usually go to that place. Anyway!”

“Had burger and chips delivered and as soon as I opened the burger box I saw the bun and it had green mould and fur growing from the bun. I have tried to contact the restaurant but there has been no answer. I have contacted food hygiene as this is disgusting. Please find pictures attached.”
