About Johnny's Fish Bar

Johnny's Fish Bar is a fish and chips shop on Tanner St in London, run as a family business with pick up available. Fish and chips are cooked to order, with a wait of around fifteen to twenty minutes while the fish is freshly fried, and chips come in medium or large portions. A lunchtime fish and chips special is offered at a reduced price, alongside the standard menu of fresh fish and chips, kebabs, burgers and vegetarian options. Mushy peas and gravy are available as sides, tartar sauce is packaged, and vinegar is left on the tables. The shop takes walk-ins rather than reservations and opens Monday to Saturday, closed on Sundays. A handful of tables at the back allow for eating in, though there are no customer toilets on site.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently point to the fish and chips as the reason to visit, with several singling out the lunchtime special, priced at various points from six to under ten pounds, as exceptional value for fresh, crispy-battered fish. Close behind, the fried cod and haddock draw praise, alongside sides like mushy peas, gravy, and homemade fries, and the chicken shish gets called out as well marinated and well grilled. Diners repeatedly describe the staff as friendly, with regulars noting they're greeted warmly on return visits. A couple of trade-offs recur: one reviewer regrets that tartar sauce comes packaged rather than homemade, and another notes there are no customer toilets and mentions an Uber order tablet left ringing unpleasantly. One longtime customer reports the discounted deal they used to travel out of their way for has since ended, souring their plan to return. Still, most describe leaving having devoured the meal in one sitting or already planning their next order.

    “Excellent place that will be my go to for takeaways from now. Everything fresh, good quality food at a reasonable price. Chicken shish was very good quality, authentic, well marinaded and well grilled. Delicious garlic and chilli sauces too. The chips were freshly fried, crispy outside and soft inside!”
  • Dmitrii Tsariapkin
    “Best cheapest fish in chips in all of London! Lunch menu special 12-14 are a steal! Obviously only a couple of tables but for 6 pounds a portion I take it!”
  • Russ
    “-- Update: Sadly they've stopped the 9.90 deal. Together with the distance we have to come, it probably means we won't be back. ---- Original review: Staff always friendly, and the medium fish and chips deal for £9.90 is great value and very good quality. Hope it keeps going as we go quite far out of our way to come here for it.”
