Following the huge success of Fish! restaurant in Borough Market, Tony Allan developed his Fish! concept further to create Fish! Kitchen in Kingston upon Thames. Encompassing the Fish! brand ethos and offering the highest quality fresh fish, simply cooked and at a fair price, it opened to great reviews and have fast become a local favourite renowned for both our traditional fish and chips as well as our grilled fish. Located in peaceful Kingston on Coombe Rd, Fish! Kitchen undoubtedly serves the best fish and hand cut chips in South West London. Popular with lunchtime crowds, this restaurant caters for adults and children alike. The kids can choose from a kiddie menu and leave the adults in peace as they scribble all over the paper place mats with crayons supplied by the restaurant. Favourites include classic prawn cocktail to start and the swordfish club sandwich, a modern twist on the traditional.

Great food, really charming service. Very quiet on an early Spring sunny Saturday lunchtime which was a shame as a bit more ambience would have rounded off an otherwise lovely meal. I can’t help feeling the lovely room and decor is even better for an evening meal. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Enjoyed the food and staff friendly. The place just felt grubby, table was sticky although we had seen them clean it before we sat down. Possibly have table cloths or even paper ones like in France , as it’s a French restaurant.
