Can anyone recommend a good fish and chip shop locally? are there any in Penge? I usually go to the Jolly Bee in Forest Hill but don't feel like walking up there tonight!
There is one the Sydenham side of Penge East train station (in the row of shops), not sure what is it called, but its fab!!!!!
Not sure it's fab but it's ok if you make sure the fish is cooked fresh, what I do is ask what they have ready then order what ever they don't have already cooked. They also do dirty burgers and kebabs if you have drunk too much
I can vouch for that chippy. Like all chip shops though the fish is better if cooked freshly so don't turn up at 10.30 and expect it to be anything other than a dried up piece.
The one at penge east is called Tasty Fish and Chips and I think it IS really tasty!! They take telephone orders for fish so you can order and pick up which is rather handy!
We've had good fish and chips from Beckenham high street (The Big Catch?). Also heard there is a fairly new chip shop on the road from Beckenham to Elmers End (Nemo?). I know they are a bit further afield but sometimes travelling a bit is worth it! The Sea Cow on Lordship Lane is also really tasty BUT very pricey and for us, at least, only ever a really occasional treat.
Well I swear by the chippy opposite the Golden Lion – fish is always cooked fresh, the batter is not greasy and having lived in Brixton with Ollies Chippy as my local (supposedly one of the best in London) it beats it hands down.
