Brockley's Rock

This was the first chip shop that I have visited in London, and it certainly did not disappoint. I had heard a lot of good things about Brockley’s Rock prior to my visit, and I am so pleased that it lived up to the praise. The shop, located on a scenic high street, was spotlessly clean, tidy and well set out. The staff were helpful and polite, and there was an incredible choice of traditional chip shop fare, with many cooking options available. I ordered the cod and chips, which arrived in quality eco-friendly packaging, and the portion sizes were spot on. The fish was fresh, flaky and tasty, coated in a light, crispy batter. The chips were just as you would expect from such a popular chippy, thick, crispy and with a perfect texture. The mushy peas were exactly as I like them, thick, subtle in flavour and only lightly seasoned. The curry sauce was delicious. Although I prefer a very smooth Chinese-style curry, I really enjoyed it. Their tartare sauce was less about mayonnaise and more about ingredients that matter; delicious. The calamari was very different from anything I have had before. It appeared to be twisted or folded in on itself to plump it up, and the chilli sauce was something special, with a lovely ginger kick. Overall, this is an experience not to be missed if you are anywhere nearby, and I highly recommend the calamari and chilli sauce. 🟠 Cooking in: Oil 🟠 Payment: Cash or Card 🟠 Fish Reviewed: Cod 🎥 See the full video review on The Chippy Tour YouTube channel

I enjoyed this meal! I heard good things about here and it lived up to the expectations. This is my first time but The chips and fish were fresh and perfectly cooked. I love that the fish was not in heavy batter. I think it should be served with tartar sauce generally but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I have just got home from my our visit to Brockey's Rock. I can only highly recommend this place. It was excellent. As we walked in we saw a notice that they are doing a special offer on a small Saithe & Chips. Not knowing what siathe is, we asked and the young girl behind the counter explained it fully. £8.95....a good price. I would tell friends to visit. It is a worthy winner of all its awards and definitely its place in this years top 10 of the NFFF chip shop awards. A good selection of fish etc, well presented and very friendly staff. Even the owner came and chatted with us.

Famous fish and chips place. Actually traveled quite a bit to try out their fish an chips. Was honestly good but also nothing mind blowing. The chips were not crispy but their tartare sauce was amazing.

Great fish and chips! Bit expensive but worth it. Nice service too

Been having a taste for fish and chips all week. Decided to go to the Brockley Rock as it opened. I was the first customer, ordered rock and chips, it cost £14.05.. Rock was fresh, slightly oily, chips were pretty standard. Ate in but no table service.

A decent London fish and chips shop, hence the community award. Had cod and chips and the meal was a pleasure to eat. The chips were nice and soft and the cod was hot and flaky, plus the batter tasted fresh. Had an Apple Fanta with the meal. A little on the pricey side and also would have preferred to have the meal on a plate with metal cutlery for a fuller experience, since I was dining in. But, generally good.

Brockley’s Rock – A Must-Visit Chippy Cycled here from north of the river after hearing great things — and it did not disappoint! Brockley itself feels warm and welcoming, even for us visitors from across the Thames. Before I arrived, five customers were already waiting—always a good sign. The staff were polite and friendly, setting the tone for a great experience. I ordered regular fish and chips with tartar sauce, mushy peas, and curry sauce. Ten minutes later, my food was ready, served piping hot on an unusually warm March Friday (17 degrees!) The portion was extremely generous. The cod was flaky with a perfectly crispy batter, and the chips were top quality. The curry sauce had the right level of spice, and the mushy peas were hot and delicious. The tartar sauce was decent but nothing special I’m afraid to report. I couldn’t finish it all, so I took the rest home—my family was just as impressed. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

So this chip shop is unbelievably popular. It's won awards in recent years and if you want to experience why there are two ways to do this. It's not the biggest space inside, which for me will hold it back from being the thing it really wants to be ?a (restaurant), so its very cosy to say the least. I've nor eaten in and am highly unlikely to but never say never!!! If, like me, you go down the take away route then you have two choices. Rock (no pun intended) up place your order and wait or phone ages and place your order to ensure that you actuations get what it is that you want. The sped of service I'll vary depending on the time of day and which day of the week it is!!! Fridays is a log jam so phone thy order in. Once you her your name called you are close to getting your order filled. The usual condiments are offered and away you go. I've only ever had the fish and chips and had no complaints (aside from the wait even though we called ahead) I guess that's what you do on a Friday right?

Seems I may have been unlucky, but it was dreadful and over priced. Chips were raw and the fish, that day's special, like aged cardboard.

Probably best Fish and Chips in area. Loved it! Will be coming back again, only this time I'll be sitting in and ordering a large.

Ordered me two mackerel baps and regular chips to takeaway. Served in either a white or a granary roll. The server asked if I wanted salad for an extra £1. I agreed. It's those fancy leaves you get in those posh salads at restaurants, or you can find them marked in the supermarket as 'four leaf salad'. So everything gets cooked and all wrapped in lovely greaseproof paper, except the chips, now those come in a box. First thing's first - do not order the salad in your roll. The bap is pretty thick and with the salad and the generous sauce (not a bad thing), you can barely taste the loveliness of the mackerel, albeit it a slightly greasy battered mackerel. A real shame in my eyes. Plus turns out that it is actually an extra £1 EACH for salad in the two rolls, and if you want anything other than salt and vinegar you'll have to pay 30 pence for takeaway sauces of Heinz ketchup and mayo which I thought was a bit much. I did enjoy the chips however, and a decent size for £1.60 for a regular portion. Now I do get that their unique selling point is to perhaps offer something beyond the traditional fish and chip establishment, and I actually adore the fact that they even sell mackerel in the first place as it is a hugely underrated fish in my opinion, but the place is a bit too pretentious for me (call me old fashioned!), and with the additional little charges, doesn't make it any more endearing.

A very, very decent fish and chip in Brockley. They have the take-away section up front, as soon as you walk in. You'll find an intriguing selection of fish, including East London's very own Rock. I haven't tried it myself, but ought to. Further back you'll find tables for eat-in waiter service. It's BYO alcohol too, which they'll keep cool for you in their fridge. Friendly staff and what look to be very commendable standards with regards to cleanliness in the kitchen etc. This isn't your average grimy fish bar. I really enjoyed the cod, which came with a hearty portion of chips. Even ventured for a gherkin, which made me very happy. This place is over the road from my mate's new place. Dangerous.

Although it's not as cheap as your average fish and chip shop, Brockley's Rock is a superb eatery. I have never eaten in but their take away is phenomenal. A great selection of grub, and cooked to order exceedingly well. Shouldn't have to pay for sauce though...

Disappointing. Arrived home to find take-Away calamari and chips swamped with 3 tons of salt I didn't ask for. Calamari also came with some kind of tumeric spiced batter which was awful and unecessary and ruined what would have been a well cooked and tasty fresh fish dish.keep it simple!

Great Fish and chip shop where your fish is cooked to order. I have to scooter past one fish and chip shop to get there but it's worth going the extra distance.

I had the cod and chips to dine in. The food was very nice and the seating area was modern and clean. I would definitely go again. Agreed it is a little pricier than the average fish and chip shop but it was a nicer restaurant to sit in.

Massively disappointing. We ordered cod, steak + ale pie, chips + sausage in batter between our family. Everything but the pie was very greasy and a sort of heavy oily feeling stayed with us for the rest of the day. The pie however was quite tasty, unfortunately the 2 inch piece of plastic I found inside really put me off. We all agreed not to visit again any time soon.
