We dined at Poppies in Camden on the final evening of our recent visit to London, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. This place truly sets the bar for excellent food and service. The fish and chips were simply exceptional—crispy, golden batter on the outside and perfectly cooked, flaky fish on the inside. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the chips were just as they should be: thick-cut, fluffy, and delicious. Their signature tartar sauce was a delightful accompaniment, completing what can only be described as the quintessential British fish and chips experience. The service was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, ensuring that our meal was flawless. They were attentive without being intrusive and exuded warmth and professionalism that made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. The atmosphere at Poppies is charming and nostalgic, with a vintage vibe that adds to its appeal. It’s clear that this is a place with a passion for quality food and a love for tradition. Overall, Poppies Camden deserves nothing less than an excellent rating. Whether you're a local or just visiting London, this is a must-visit spot for authentic fish and chips. We left with full stomachs and happy hearts, and we will absolutely return on our next trip to London!
