Poppies in Hanbury Street was Pop’s first restaurant and the one where the journey began. The retro-diner and takeaway is close to Pop’s heart as it brought 70year old Pat out of retirement. It fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening an East End chippie and a desire to offer customers a taste of the old East End.

    Lovely food, great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff. A little pricier than it used to be but then that is the same everywhere now. Only minor downer was that the mushy peas were more runny than I would have liked, but the tasty chips made up for it!

    My mother said it was the best fish and chips she has ever had. She is very hard to please.

    Ordered a large portion of chips but there weren’t many chips on my plate. The chips that were there were lovely though and so was the fish. I wanted large Cod but it was unavailable (as it was on my previous visit too) - settled for large Haddock which was lovely. Was sat right underneath a speaker and found the music a touch too loud and we all had to shout at each other to have a conversation.

    Some confusion over booking when we arrived otherwise excellent. We always visit Poppies in Spittalfields when we come to London. Fish and chips always delicious. Crispy batter. Lovely chips. Mushy peas really good. Very quick service
