Two London fish and chips restaurants have been named the best in Britain for 2026
"Brits are proud of their fish and chips. They're so proud that every year the National Fish and Chip Awards crowns the best chippies across a whopping 14 different categories. Now, the annual awards has revealed the 2026 shortlist for the best fish and chip restaurants in the UK. Ten outlets were included on the shortlist, including joints in Bristol, Devon, Yorkshire, and two from London."
"Golden Union has been open on Poland Street since 2008, and is known for serving up fish and chip butties and homemade sauces, alongside the traditional fish and chips. Golden Union also serves a range of plant-based fish alternatives, including battered 'prawns' and battered 'sausage'. The Seashell opened as a small fish bar on Lisson Grove more than 60 years ago, after the First World War. It's now something of a legend, with its gold art deco interiors."
The 2026 shortlist for the National Fish and Chip Awards includes ten UK fish and chip restaurants from regions such as Bristol, Devon, Yorkshire and two in London. Judges assessed outlets on food quality, customer service and passion for the sector. London is represented by Golden Union in Soho and The Seashell of Lisson Grove in Marylebone. Golden Union opened on Poland Street in 2008 and offers fish and chip butties, homemade sauces and plant-based battered alternatives. The Seashell began as a small fish bar more than 60 years ago and features gold art deco interiors. The overall winner will be announced on 15 February 2026 in London.
