Harden's survey result
Summary
“Love coming here”, say fans of the “excellent fish ’n’ chips” served for 36 years by Harry Niazi opposite Brockwell Park – where it’s “great to eat a takeaway”. It takes its name from Oliver Twist, in which Dickens refers to Londoners’ favourite dish.
Summary
“Consistently excellent fish ’n’ chips” have made their mark for more than 35 years at Harry Niazi’s rustic spot by Brockwell Park, named after Oliver Twist (1837), in which Charles Dickens mentions a ‘fried fish warehouse’ – one of the earliest references to what became the national dish.
Summary
This “relaxed” chippy in a “lovely location by Brockwell Park” provides a “great range of fish and a variety of ways to cook it” – fried, grilled or steamed with various garnishes. Harry Niazi has run it for 35 years, garnering a strong reputation in Herne Hill and beyond.
Summary
“Generous portions of consistently excellent fish ’n’ chips” have made Harry Niazi’s “friendly” rustic chippie a fixture opposite Brockwell Park since 1987. It inspired the odd ‘off’ report in the last survey, though: “supposedly the best chippy in the area, but we found it a huge let-down”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
