"Golden in name, and given its Marylebone location, gold-adjacent with its pricing, The Golden Hind is one of London’s more expensive, classic fish and chip restaurants. Once upon a time this was not an unreasonable go-to for a central London dinner, but now it’s a cream-coloured tourist-fest that’s unlikely to prove worthwhile for anyone seeking a bag of chips and a polystyrene tub of molten curry sauce. The room is unremarkable, but there is a blackboard of Golden Hind eras on the wall, listing the owners and their nationalities, since it first opened in 1914. We’d wager that the chips (and the value) were better then, but it’s still notable for its longevity." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
