Ex-Caprice group supremo Des McDonald has announced his long-awaited sequel to Islington’s popular Fish and Chip Shop. The eat-in and takeaway restaurant’s second site will open on 15 October in Dashwood House, Old Broad Street, in the City. For those who want a sneak peak there will be a 50 per cent off food soft launch offer on 13 and 14 October.

Ever since the original opened in June last year, the concept, which, our reporters said, was “everything you could want from a fish and chip shop”, has seemed destined to grow into a chain.

Open for lunch, dinner and drinks, the City Fish & Chip Shop will serve up traditional chippy dishes alongside grilled lobster and West Mersea native oysters. As well as a takeaway hatch (opening 13 October) there will be a terrace for al fresco dining.

The restaurant is now taking reservations, email Adam at city@thefishandchipshop.uk.com or call 020 7920 9103.
