The Mayfair Chippy, Michelin Guide recommended and won some Fish and Chips awards. Conveniently located just around from Primark and Selfridges The Mayfair Chippy is a great location for an afternoon meal for some classic British fair for (Pre/post shopping eats)

Ordered On:
20Feb2018
Crisp salmon crackling 3pounds

*A total waste of time. Its just really thin dried out salmon skins that are unseasoned. Add salt and pepper to taste.*
Mayfair Classic
Fried Haddock, chips, mushy peas, tartar and chip shop curry sauce or HP Gravy.
15.75pounds


*This was their classic order. I was recommended Haddock for its stronger, bold flavors.
The presentation was beautiful and I especially loved the pea tendrils and abundance of sauce selection that came with. The classic mushy peas are the best had thus far with varied texture and well seasoned. The batter isn't crispy but the fish is fresh and well prepared. The chips though fluffy on the inside lacked the crispy crunchy exterior which in other establishments hit it spot on. All in all it is a worth while place to have fish and chips, especially pre or post shopping. Where in its sauce, presentation and mushy peas it excelled, it may loose out to Hobson's Fish and Chips in other their Fries and Crisp exterior. Below are other excellent fish and chips shops that you maybe interested in.

Steak eggs and Chips 14.50Pounds


*Nothing special really and fries were honestly a little soggy.*
The Ivy Soho Shepard's Pie 13.50pounds
Slow Braised lamb shoulder with beef and Cheddar Potato mash

*Their signature dish that they've been preparing for years. The portion is a little bit small, however it is a slightly different take on a sheard's pie. Strong, rich flavors that was actually pretty good.
 Chocolate Bombe 8.50Euro
Melting Chocolate Bombe with a vanilla ice cream and honeycomb center with salted caramel sauce.

*Another signature that came recommended. Its worth it to come here just for this dessert. We didn't get a chance to record the sphere imploding under the hot salted caramel sauce, but the flavors worked beautifully together and the pop rocks surprise in the dessert was amazing! A must try!*Ambience 3.5/5

Fed 2 Total about 20.10 Pounds per person. 
Its a nice fancy place with attentive staff waiting the tables. The mains were honestly quite average, however for the dessert, that was the star. Mains ordered by others in the restaurant looked really appetizing and maybe worth to come here in a larger group to try more options. The dessert ordered is not to be missed!
Milroy's
recommended by Z


Milroy's is a Whisky chill out joint with a very cool secret entrance that one often sees in the movies. Anything with a secret door is just pure epic in my books and worth the check it out if you're in the area.
