You don't need a trip to the seaside to get proper fish and chips in Greenwich—just head to Golden Chippy on Greenwich High Road. They fry fresh cod daily in rapeseed oil, and the result is crispy, golden, and seriously satisfying. Skip the tourist traps and grab a takeaway box here; the portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and you'll see locals lining up because they know what they're doing. The vibe is unpretentious and fast-paced—you're here for the food, not the decor. They do offer halal options on request and even serve mushy peas or curry sauce if you're feeling adventurous. It's the kind of place that feels like a neighbourhood secret, even if it's been around long enough to build a solid reputation.
