Toff’s of Muswell Hill

London’s Best Old-School Fish & Chip Shops - London - The Infatuation

"Toff’s is a classic Cypriot-owned chippy that sits on the posher end of the spectrum. Mainly because it has nice silver cutlery. This Muswell Hill favourite lays every table with white paper and a gleaming fish knife, and its chips are served family-style in a big bowl that is happily replenished as soon as you demolish them. Unlike other chippies with dining rooms, Toff’s one isn’t separate. The counter is still there, with a polite queue of north London locals waiting to make their order, as big tables of retired locals with their glad rags on and weary-looking parents bundling the kids in straight from school gather for a 6pm fish supper. The chips are excellent and the cod is good, if a tad over. Meanwhile the house fish cake is magnificent (all killer, no potato filler)—especially with a smear of tartare." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
