Generous portions are a highlight, particularly the large chips that could feed a family of four. Many rave about the crispy batter surrounding the fish, maintaining perfect flavor without greasiness. Diners appreciate the option to eat in-house rather than takeout, which is often the only choice at similar eateries. The friendly staff create a warm environment, enhancing the overall dining experience. For a classic yet splendid fish and chips outing, The Garden Fish Bar often ranks at the top, making it a favorite among locals.
Most Disliked
The wait time for a fresh meal can be longer during peak hours, as meals are cooked to order. Some patrons may find it challenging to get a table outside, particularly on sunny days when the restaurant draws a crowd. Limited indoor seating can also be an issue during busy dinner services, especially on Fridays when the restaurant reaches full capacity. A few may also question why there isn't an expanded menu beyond fish dishes, but those who come specifically for fish and chips rarely leave disappointed.

Down from Yorkshire we were delighted to find probably the best fish and chips we’ve ever eaten. VERY generous portions of chips ( the large would feed a family of 4) fish and chips wrapped separately so the steam from fish doesn’t make the chips soggy. The chips were perfect - crisp and browned, and somehow not at all greasy. The large cod, cooked with skin on for flavour, coated in a thin, light crisp batter. These men are artists !

One of the best fish and chips spots in London! The haddock with fries was delicious, and the condiments were great quality. I also appreciated that you can sit inside — unlike many fish and chip shops that are takeout only. The staff were friendly, and overall, it’s excellent value for money.

This place is the real deal. I’ve had fish and chips at “top rated” spots and garden bar blows them all out of the water. We pick up from here 3-4 times a month. Great food and always a friendly face from the staff - can’t beat it.

Really good fish and chips. Large portions are really large. Cod is perfectly cooked and mushing peas are delicious. There are few tables outside to eat, it's really nice when weather is sunny.

I seriously love my fish and chips and this was hands down the best fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life. Everything was completely made to order and boy was it worth the wait. The batter was so crispy but not greasy and the fish was so juicy and succulent in the middle. It was literally cooked to perfection. The chips were amazing too. Not to crispy and not to soggy. A perfect blend and you can tell they use really good potatoes. Really friendly service in lovely little area. Just a shame I don’t live closer as would be here every Friday! Highly recommend!!

Kew Fish Bar serves some of the best fish and chips around — perfectly crispy, fresh, and full of flavour. What truly makes the place special are the owners: kind, humble, and generous people who make every visit feel welcoming. It’s not just about great food here, it’s about genuine warmth and community. Highly recommend for both the taste and the experience.

Absolutely delicious with extremely friendly staff with a smile. If you're visiting and want fish and chips -- look no further!! The fish is fresh and tender and the batter crisp and just right. Portion size is great too. You can't go wrong with the haddock or cod. 10/10!!
