About Chris's Fish Bar
On Eversholt St in London, Chris's Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway at number 186. The menu follows the classic fish-and-chip-shop format, with cod and haddock as the fish choices and chicken as an alternative. Fish is fried fresh to order, so food comes out of the fryer when it is ready for you. Payment is by cash or bank transfer only, and card payments are not accepted, so bring cash or arrange a transfer. Customers can take their order away or eat on the premises at the plain seating. Ketchup, vinegar, tartar sauce and mayonnaise are on offer.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return for the fish, praised as crispy-battered and soft, flaky, and moist inside, with cod and haddock both named and portions described as huge. The chips draw nearly as much enthusiasm, with one reviewer calling them possibly the best they have had and another noting plenty of them alongside the fish. Several describe the fish as freshly fried to order, and the place is characterised as a traditional, no-nonsense chippy with plain seating. The chicken gets a lukewarm mention, described as okay and not as good as the fish. The main complaint is size: one reviewer found the portion too much for one person and was put off by a sign saying a smaller portion costs the same, and another reviewer mentioned that some earlier reviews found the fish slightly undercooked, though they judged it simply tender. Plenty of reviewers praise the friendly staff and the prices, and a few call the portions good value. Reviewers also say vinegar, ketchup, tartar sauce and mayonnaise arrive with a piping hot plate, and one calls the fish portion big enough to justify what they paid.

“They’re the nicest people. Their food is fresh and good. Best frying batter ever- great portions and prices. They have saved my bank account several times. For the people hating on them for having no card machine, if you can’t be bothered to spend 1 minute transferring money then don’t bother and go somewhere else.”

“Such a nice fish and chips joint! Good prices”

“I read both the positive and negative reviews before visiting, and it turned out to be an excellent choice! The fish was incredibly fresh, light, and flaky. Some reviews mentioned that it seemed a little undercooked, but I think that’s because fresh fish fried in very hot oil stays wonderfully moist and tender inside. It may feel slightly “soft” to some people, but it definitely isn’t raw. Absolutely delicious! And don’t skip the vinegar — it’s a must! 🤭🐟🍟”

“I ate here for lunch one day in mid-May 2026. I ordered haddock with small fries, and the total was somewhere close to 20 GBP. It took about 10 minutes for the fish and potatoes to be fried, and I was served a piping hot plate with plenty of condiments, including ketchup, vinegar, tartar sauce and mayonnaise. The portion of fish was huge, so the price was justified in my opinion. I ate very well. If in the area, I will go back.”

“Fish is freshly fried so you have to be prepared to wait about 10 minutes. Produce is fresh and if good quality. Cash or bank transfer only. No card payments possible. Enjoyed my meal here, thank you.”
