Brockley’s Best Restaurants | Eat Out in Brockley, South East London | Eater London

"A decent local chippy is but a dream for many Londoners. Some might argue that it’s a futile endeavour trying to find great fish and chips inland, but cravings strike and must be sated. Brockley residents have a solid option in Brockley’s Rock, where traditional choices such as cod and saveloy sit alongside whitebait and calamari with sweet chilli sauce. Crisp-battered cod is cooked to steam the interior into meaty pearlescent flakes. Mushy peas and curry sauce are proper — i.e., no mint — and pickled eggs and onions are present and correct. For the health conscious there’s an option to order fish grilled instead of fried. Try to overlook this." - Helen Graves
