The Best Fish and Chips in Portland, Oregon and the Surrounding Suburbs | Eater Portland

"Chef Darren McGrady, who previously cooked for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, opened this Vancouver fish and chips cart to serve the United Kingdom’s approach to the dish. In other words, visitors can order their battered Alaskan cod with mushy peas, curry sauce, and a smoked fish chowder that pulls its inspiration from Scottish cullen skink. But for those who are focused on the potato element of the duo, half-moon-shaped Yukon Gold chips come with an Edinburgh-style chippy sauce. The whole thing arrives in a box lined with faux newsprint, true to chippy form." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

The Most Exciting Restaurant Openings in Dallas 2023 | Eater Dallas

"I was skeptical at first about Whinston’s British Fish N Chips, a food truck, but after the first bite I loved it: the fish was flaky and moist with a crisp exterior and the chips were some of the best I’ve had — for about three weeks I ate the fish and chips almost every other day for lunch and bought many staff meals during that time." - Courtney E.

A Former Royal Chef Opens Winston’s British Fish and Chips in Vancouver - Eater Portland

"Chef Darren McGrady, a former royal chef who cooked for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, opened Winston’s British Fish N Chips in early March in Vancouver, Washington. The food cart serves fried cod, chicken wings, and smoked fish chowder, among other British dishes. McGrady emphasizes authenticity in his recipe for fish and chips, using frozen-at-sea Alaskan cod and Yukon Gold potatoes, served with scratch-made mushy Marrowfat peas or curry sauce, and a unique chippy sauce. The menu also includes a sweet-and-spicy sauce for wings and a house-smoked fish chowder adapted from a traditional Scottish dish. The brand plans expansion with several carts and a flagship location set to open in Dallas." - Janey Wong

If you’re looking for a great new spot to try… look no further! Not only does Winston’s have delicious and tasty well portioned fish n chips, they also have many hidden gems on their menu. I recommend the sausage rolls with their special mustard if you’re looking for something simple but oh so tasty! The smoked cod clam chowder is a flavor party in your mouth! If you’re a sauce lover I recommend the wicked sticky sauce that is great on their wings and chicken nuggets. Overall a great experience, wonderful tastes and reasonably priced.

I’ve been wanting to try this place out every time I drive by. I went with the Ultimate Feast and Steak and Ale pie for a variety. I rated a 3, a star for each item that I enjoyed. Fish: The batter was light, crispy, and well seasoned; it was exactly what I hoped for.⭐️ Chips: Beautiful curl and pillowy texture. Best type of potato shape to be paired with the fish pieces.⭐️ Chowder: The fish chowder had good fish chunks but the texture was thicker and grainier than I expected. Taste was alright, not as much flavor as I would have liked.✖️ Wings: Saucy, sticky, sweet, spicy chicken wings. Very pleasantly surprised and I would definitely order this again on its own.⭐️ Steak & Ale pie: Not included in the feast but I ordered it extra because I wanted to try it. I saw a review days ago that warned to pass on the pie but I was still curious as it seems the owner responded and issued a fix. What I WAS NOT prepared for was a frozen pie. The top was golden brown but as I pulled the pie out my hand was met with a cold and visibly frozen bottom. It wasn’t a huge deal to me because I was home and popped it into the air fryer. The picture of the punctured pie was after 6min in the fryer at 390F and I was checking if it was done, it was not and the meat was visible stuck together and still frozen. After an additional 4min, the pie was done and overall flavor was good but the meat was dry. Although unsure if this is the norm since I was served a frozen pie and had to reheat it myself with no instruction. ✖️ Edit (in reply to owner response): Yes, “Nainoa” was the party order name. I appreciate that you respond to reviews and put care in your quality. I did see that the batch was pulled and will visit in a few weeks to try the correct batch, hopefully prepared correctly as well. Again, as in my review, the fish & chips and the wings are definitely worth to come back for!

The food truck in Pasco was in a great place. Absolutely friendly and fast service. The cod is very good, crispy outside, moist inside, and thick good size pieces. Very friendly staff 😁

You won't find better fish and chips anywhere! This place is comparable to my favorite place on the coast, but has so many more options. The fish is cooked perfectly, the chips are delicious. We've enjoyed the wings and some of the desserts and have yet to be disappointed. 10/10

Top-notch food and fantastic customer service! Unexpectedly, they offer a GF option for the fish batter- and it’s delicious! 💯% recommend!

The fish was fantastic, I am writing this to warn others to stay away from the meat pie, it was a thin layer of pastry and underneath a few meat chunks in ale, there was no sides or bottom. The picture on the menu is misleading. The fish and chips, and the chowder are both good though.

First time here and I was impressed with everything. Food was Delicious!! The chowder was favorite, the fish had a smokey taste. Fish and potato chips were perfect. The wings were sweet and spicy. First time trying the peas and I liked it. I was never a fan of curry and theirs was so yummy. And the tartar sauce was creamy. We waited 15 minutes for our food to be ready, which is not bad on a Saturday lunchtime. Would be back for sure.

Customer service was spectacular, and their food was delicious. For $20, I was able to bring home enough food for two (The King or Royal Feast). Highly recommend trying their wings, they were cooked to perfection. Definitely would come back - 2 thumbs up

If you're craving top-notch fish and chips in Vancouver, WA, look no further than Winston's Fish and Chips. While we were at a volleyball tournament at the Clark County Fairgrounds it was a pleasant surprise to find this truck there. Don't think you can get good fish and chips from a food truck, guess again! This food truck delivers everything you'd want from a classic fish and chips experience--fresh, crispy fish, perfectly cooked fries, and a side of creamy coleslaw that ties it all together. The portions here are generous, making it well worth the visit. The fish is golden brown with a satisfying crunch on the outside while staying tender and flaky inside. The spiral-cut fries are an unexpected but welcome twist--crispy and addictively good. The coleslaw is creamy and fresh, adding the perfect balance to the meal. Beyond the food, the service is just as impressive. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. If you love fish and chips done right, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

Please go back to fish filets/supplier you used to use. The ones you have been using the last 6 months or so are more like fish sticks and tough. :( Very sad because we really liked the other fish so much better.

Food = Decent Customer service = horrible Hours = Ben Stiller in Tropic Thunder (FR) The reason you get you butt kicked by El Hefe is not only because they serve birrera, but they are always open. Your truck has been closed twice, when it shows it should be open. It's closed Tuesdays. It doesn't open until 11:30 or noon. Who picked these horrible business hours, the Queen?

I had high hopes for Winston's, and this may be why my review is lower than I'd have expected based on the overall glowing reviews. I had fish and chips in one of London's originals, and rather enjoyed the mushy peas. If you come here looking for them, you won't find them (at least not any longer). I got a two-piece cod combo and some of "The King's Wings". Both were expertly prepared, and served fresh and hot. The sauce for the wings was cloyingly sweet and overly sticky (think "maple syrup reduction", although the taste wasn't of maple at all, mercifully). Flavor-wise, things were good, but the chips were dry and REALLY over-salted. Pluses were the huge parking lot, friendly service, and prompt preparation times. The boxes are also very high-quality and charming, and are probably one of the reasons for the high prices.

First and last time - called in an order, I was told 10 minutes for pickup. Got there and they didn't have my order and was told that they were inundated with 9 other orders.....I couldn't wait, I had to leave. Wanted to try it but there are so many other options. I was hoping this would be a good place considering they just opened here in Battle Ground.

Stopped by this food cart to grab some 'take out' for dinner. It was a bit of a wait, however they had a device which told us when to come back for pick up. Fish was VERY good!!! Will be back to get more. You can add extra pieces for $3.50. Sausage roll was just 'OK'. Smoked chowder was very smoky, must like a strong smoked flavor to enjoy.

Fish - 7.0/10, Fries - 0.0/10 Limp, soggy fries that tasted of very old fish fry oil. Ate one and gave the rest to homeless dude, afterwards I felt sorry for him.

Fish and chips, SO GOOD!! Perfectly cooked, fries crispy, tartar sauce flavorful, absolutely will get again. Smoked fish chowder was meh, much too smoky for me. Mushy peas were one of the worst things I've had, tasted like the smell of goose poop, lol, now if this is a staple in England, then don't listen to me!! Lacked salt as well. Curry was ok, I didn't like the fish and curry mix. Wings were good, but just a weird addition, sauce I really liked. All in all, they knocked it out of the park with fish and chips, everything else I could do without. Oh, and the packaging was so cute!!

I never even liked peas until I tried them here! I ordered extra fish for my kids and the pieces were huge and delish! We could all only eat one piece each and the chips. Also the wings are small but spectacular which was a surprise. This food is made right the and is hot so it might take some time. There is seating and covered area or your car. I ordered there and had it deliver led and both were great. I air fried left overs and they were good as new! I recommend for fish and chips.

My boyfriend works close by & had been wanting to come try this place for a while. They run a small menu which is makes deciding a lot easier. We went with the #2 & #3. They give you a buzzer,so you can wait in your car if you'd like as it is starting to get colder these days. It comes prepared in a really cool box! Our 15 minute drive home & everything was still warm & crispy. The #2 fish & chips was served with a curry dipping sauce, which I thought was interesting. It was actually pretty good, but if you prefer tartar sauce it comes with that also. Fries were yummy as well. The wings that came with #3 had a nice tangy flavor & as mentioned sticky. Fish was crisp to perfection super crunchy. I had the rest for dinner & just threw my leftover fish & fries in the air fryer & they were good as new again! People working there were super nice. They seem to be real popular, as we got our food a line was forming.

I've seen mixed reviews about Winston's. And all I can say is go see for yourself! The cart is in a super accessible location with lots of parking which is always nice! The ambiance is... food truck, ya know? Hahaha the people working the truck have always be so nice and helpful when we have gone, and I mean who doesn't like a pleasant interaction? Anyways, on to the food!! My husband and I ordered the fish and chips with wings! The fish has always tasted super fresh, and flavorful! And the perfect carrier of the sauces! The chips are crispy and perfect (I like fries on the crispy side ) and the wings are knockout good, idk what they do to them but they are delicious! All in all this place is a go to for us. And not to mention the mushy peas! I had no idea what they were prior to trying Winston's, and I like them! I'm not sure if I'm supposed to dip things into it, but I tried that and eating it on its own, and it all tasted great! Haha I recommend trying a little bit of it all so you can enjoy all the yumminess!

If you stand outside Auto Zone and look toward Walmart, you will be able to see the Winston's food trailer. After ordering two Winston's Fish N Chips + Curry, you get a pager to let you know when the food is ready. Next to the truck are 3 plastic tables/benches to choose from. Admittedly it's somewhat windy (bring a sweater) and little to no shade (bring a hat). Prevelant while eating is the motor of the generator and the steady traffic noise/smells of vehicles passing by. If you want to avoid this, I saw a woman take-out. Inside my box were two good-size pieces of Alaskan cod and more "chips" than I could eat. Both were nicely seasoned. Not only is tartar sauce included, but I opted for curry instead of mushy peas. As for additional condiments, there were malt vinegar, ketchup, and Chip sauce. At $15 a box, the food is a great value for the quality and quantity. Washing up at the WC requires a trip to Walmart.

The fish and chips at Winston's are pretty good! My reference is a food cart in Astoria (Ship Out) which successfully succeeded an English pub there owned by a man from England (Ship Inn, open 1974-2017). However, living in the Gorge, Astoria is kind of a long drive for fish and chips. The crust on the fish is about as good, crispy and with good crunch. It would be good on a variety of fish (hint, hint, halibut). The thing that sets the meal apart are the fries. They're almost like very lightly coated stubby spiral extruded version of a curly fry. Quite good. Complimenting the fish was a good tartar sauce. The clam chowder was a plainer version, which would be fine to be able to eat it frequently and not grow tired of it. The bit of story from the owner about the royal family was appreciated. The royal chef is a decent fellow for maintaining the privacy of Her Royal Highness and the rest of the royal family.

Made the trek over to Vancouver since this is the only legit British fish & chips place around. Fun food cart and those boxes they serve in are impressive - great design, thick and sturdy. The service was amazing. The servers were friendly, patient, and answered all my questions in a good mood. I enjoyed the fish & chips and clam chowder. The curry dip isn't my taste. (It wasn't spicy.)

This was our second time trying Winston's. The food has been delicious, both times, and still warm and crispy even as a DoorDash order. The fish is generously portioned, tasty, and the chips are great. The Kings wings were also a big hit, as was the princess pudding. But the cherry on top was this adorable little corgi toy that came with the kids meal. It made my son's day and was such a nice surprise. I'm always on the lookout for affordable kids meals from restaurants where us grown ups can enjoy the food too. We will definitely order again. Thanks so much Winston's!

Best in the area. Flaky fish and light crunchy batter. I eat a lot of fish and chips. I have tried many over 40 years. Yes this is a food truck and some people won't like the fact that you eat in your car. There are 2-4 small tables but that's it. I would not take and go as all fried foos get a little soggy. The batter to fish ratio is outstanding, fresh and their tartar sauce is also good too. Go, their prices are reasonable and the owner is very nice.

I don't care for cod FnC. I prefer Halibut- but- this place has changed my mind. First time was really good. I had to go back to make sure that wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. Four trips there now and each one has been outstanding.

It's in a ParkingKitty near a church building but look for the Union Jack and you'll find it ! They have several sets of baskets to choose from. We got a #2 - fish and chips with curry and a kids meal. The fish was freaking wonderful and the breading reminds me of fish and chips I've had in London. It does take a while to get the food. Probably ten-fifteen minutes but they give you a buzzer that you can take to your car.

Stopped in for lunch around 11 on a Saturday. There were about 4-5 people ahead of us. The service was friendly and helpful. After ordering, you're given a pager to let you know when it's ready. Our food was ready in about 15-20 minutes. Not bad for the weekend! We ordered the #3 royal feast sampler ($17) and #5 smoked fish chowder ($10). Wish we would have ordered the #1 or #2 instead of #5. The royal feast comes with chowder, and the smoky flavor goes a long way. The fish and chips were delicious! Definitely needed more of that! The royal feast was a great first-timer order... a sample of all offerings. The wings were ok, I didn't really care for the sauce, but I'm sure that's just preference. The mushy peas were ok, but I would pass on those next time. The smoked fish chowder was yummy... plenty of fish inside. The chowder comes with a small bag of oyster crackers, too. My only gripe would be that they need some picnic tables under the large covered area. It would be nice to have a place to sit and eat, other than your car or when you get home. Food like this should be eaten when served hot. Would definitely recommend!

Very expensive for what you get. If you want lots of chips, go for it. Otherwise it's a pass for me. 40 bucks for 4 pieces of fish. Won't be back.

Cute little food truck off 4th Plain Blvd. we ordered 1 order of a 2 piece fish and chip basket. The wait was only 10 minutes! The pieces of fish were huge and the big curly fries were plentiful. The batter on the fish was crispy and delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked tender and fresh. We will be back!

There was a 90-minute wait when we stopped by Saturday evening, but the lady gave us a card for a free meal, having now returned to collect our complimentary fish & chips. The fish was light and crispy, not greasy, and the tartar sauce was a nice compliment. Unfortunately, they were already out of mushy peas by mid-day, so I got the curry sauce, whether I wanted it or not. The chips were also very good, but like the fish, there were not enough of them and I was still hungry after my meal. I can honestly say that it was some of the best fish & chips I have had, but the serving sizes were a tad on the light side in my opinion. There could have been more chips, only a smattering received, and the fish could be just a little bit bigger. Raise the price to $16 if you have to, but sell the public the very best fish n chips while, simultaneously, satiating our hunger for the real deal.

Tabor Tabern and the Frying Scotsman are my Top 2 for Fish & Chips, but Winston's wins on taste alone. The tarter sauce is definitely a cut above the usual. I didn't know Wings were a British staple, a very good version here. The chowder is a future reorder. I didn't connect with the curry, but it has raving fans. Value - taste & portion - is more than fair. Head-scratcher: how can they be out of mushy peas at 11:10 a.m. the day after being featured on the local TV News? Per another review, they were out of mushy peas on multiple occasions. TO THE Owner: a low cost suggestion: include a lemon wedge in the super cool box! A line 10+ deep forms 15 minutes before opening. We're all counting the days until they open a brick and mortar location. The window gal was super friendly.

Ordered #3 and Captains platter an hour ago. Requested condiments, plasticware, napkins. Arrived with no brown sauce or vinegar-no plasticware no napkins no condiments! Have (4) containers in (2) boxes- All Tartar! How hard is it to add the stuff that comes with the meal?!

Oh man, do I love Winston's! This is the 3rd time I've had Winston's and I can confirm it's my favorite fish & chips that I've tried in PDX! I have gotten both the number one and the number two. Both were outstanding! But I prefer the number one with a side of curry sauce :) The number 1 has two pieces of fish, chips (fries), mushy peas and tartar sauce. The fish is always perfectly battered and cooked to perfection. Sometimes fish and chips can get super bogged down and greasy, not Winston's. The fish is never overly greasy! The chips are always perfectly crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. Oh, and ALWAYS perfectly salted. The mushy peas were top freaking tier. I gobbled those up so fast. I can't wait to get more. I had never dipped my fish into curry sauce before trying Winston's. Let me tell you, it's the only way I want to eat fish & chips now. ITS INSANE, just so flavorful and delicious! I can't forget the tartar which I also personally love. Chips or fries get dipped in it, it never goes to waste! I love the to-go box it comes in too. It's sturdy and I love that I can easily transport it if I don't want to eat there. Prices are insanely reasonable and I think super fair for the portions and quality! Parking is a breeze at either the Vancouver location or the Fairview one! All in all, if you love fish and chips, definitely make Winston's your first stop!

Not your average fish and chips! After seeing some videos pop up around the new food truck I had to make my way over to Vancouver to try it. Don't be surprised when you find it in a large parking lot of a church because they make do with the space with covered seating as well. We came right at 11 to ensure we didn't need to wait and there were already people waiting! They've done a great job promoting on social. There were two groups before us and once we ordered they gave us a ticker so we would know when our food was ready. Took around 15 mins and we were ready to enjoy our #2 (curry sauce) and #3 (royal feast). The entrees here will run you $14+ but they will come with chips to enjoy. Now to the meal.... Let's start with the fish and the batter. The batter was thick but was crisped up well where there were no raw bits. It's a bit airy in a way before you get to the flaky fish. Comes piping hot so watch out with your first bite. Overall solid fish and wasn't too oily with your fingers. They're not the largest pieces of fish but I thought they were fresh and worth the standard boxes. Don't forget the malt vinegar! I think on my end I would have liked a lemon as well to squeeze on top but that's just my preference. I LOVED the chips they had in the box since there were cut in a swirl and were a nice in between of wedges and standard fries. Probably my favorite side of all we tried. Now to the sides they had in the royal feast... I have never had mushy peas or curry sauce with my fish and chips so they were unique sides for sure. The peas were savory but I can't say they were my fave. The curry sauce was a nice spice kick to dip both fries or fish in and enjoyed it. In the royal feast they also included wings which had a wonderful sauce! I would recommend getting the wings. Not the largest wings out there but super flavorful. The last item in the royal feast was the chowder which had a nice smoky flavor. It's not super thick or creamy as I am used to and came with a more clearer broth. It's a nice break to the fried items in the box. Overall, really digging their packaging and their menu. Simple but unique enough to have you trying something new.

I came here at 2:30pm thinking it shouldn't be busy. I was wrong. There was a line, and people were waiting to place an order. When I got there the food cart stopped orders to catch up so waited about 15 mins before I could order. Then waited another 10 or so. I got their fish and chips with mushy peas. The fish had a nice crispy fluffy batter and it stuck onto the cod. They gave a decent size for two pieces. The fish however had like no flavor, I wish they seasoned the fried fish with salt or something after it comes out of the fryer. I had to dip fish in the tartar sauce to have more flavor. The chips were like fries and potato chips hybrid. They were thicker but sliced like potato chips and had some soft potato pieces. Those were seasoned very nicely with salt, and you could tell they salted it right after it came out of the fryer. The mushy peas were okay, I've never had them before. They are bland. It reminded me of mashed potatoes but with some pea texture. The box that holds everything is pretty stylish and a great way to transport the food. There's unfortunately no seating here, but you can eat at your car and they have trash cans to dispose your trash. Since they are located in front of Living Hope Church there is ample parking.

Wanted to see what all the hype was about so we stopped by for dinner. There was maybe a 20-30 minute wait for our order and we didn't even realize they didn't give us any sauce or sides with our order until we got home. We just ordered 2 orders of the basic 2 hand battered fish and chips. You get the option of having mushy peas or the chip shop curry sauce with it, along with tarter sauce and either salt and malt vinegar or chippy sauce... We literally just got a box of 2 pieces of fish and the "fries". So disappointed to get home and see that we had NO sauce and NO sides with our order.... I understand that they just opened a week ago, but the staff didn't seem friendly or welcoming at all. The fish and chips were good but definitely not worth the hype. If they sold out of items or sauce, they should have mentioned that when we ordered our food but they didn't say a word... We definitely did not get what we paid for. Don't think I'll be returning.

In a small cluster of food carts off Andresen Road you will have no problem picking out Winston's British Fish & Chips. Confidently wrapped in the Union Jack it stands out. The buzz from friends was good about Winston's, beyond good, really. We arrived to see that the cart was not too busy. There was a covered area that was lit up, but there was no place to sit yet. Being a little nippy out we were going to eat in the car anyway. It seems as though seating is coming soon, and so is a menu revamp. Good things to look forward too. We each ordered the two pieces with chips and mushy peas, but they had run out of the peas, and they offered us extra chips and tartar sauce in its place. I've never had mushy peas, not sure I want to, but I looked at recipes online and they might be worth trying. We were given a vibrating disk and told it would be 15 or 20 minutes. No problem, good food should be worth waiting for. Our buzzer went off and I went to grab two boxes, brightly decorated in the Union Jack. There were packets of malt vinegar and ketchup, and wrapped napkins with plastic utensils. It may have only been two pieces of fish, but they were large pieces. There was an equally impressive amount of chips. The fish was hot, obviously right out of the fryer, we doused it in high quality malt vinegar and set about trying the chips. Oh, the chips. Near indescribable, crispy outside, fluffy inside. but there is something more about them. It is a beautiful mystery, one that I am comfortable not knowing. Vancouver should feel good that we have Winston's here. Good food and good service! The seating area and upcoming menu tweaks are just making a good thing better.

Had seen reviews on line took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Fish was delicious and the potatoes were cut differently than usual. Owner was very pleasant and gave us free bottled water.

I was always on the look out for legit fish and chips and wouldn't ya know what came up on my feed. Advertised as the royal chef to Queen Liz...I had to go see what's goody. Kudos to social media and a day off I ventured to the Couv from Pdx. Arrived a lil after noon on a Wednesday and while there was a lunch crowd I prob waited less than 15min from order to pickup. There is covered sitting area and port o potties avail. You will get a buzzer to let you know when order is ready. Order up: #3 Queens Royal Feast. Always a sucka for a sampler :) Had to bite in to chips first and oooh weee I the swirl cut. Like beautiful marriage btwn a jojo and curly fries. Be sure to try w chippy sauce. The fish was delish although smaller than expected (maybe because in a sampler). Loved the duo of curry and tarter sauce. Malt vinegar packets also avail for you tart lovers. The mush peas was a pleasant surprise and the smoke in the chowder...oooh weee. But the wings y'all...I know what it says Fish&Chips in the name but I can appreciate some good waaaangs. Don't snooze on em. I'm happy I made the trip to try and also took home a royal Corgi

The fish is moist on the inside but crispy and crunchy on the outside, delicious they have a sampler tray that lets you try just about everything on the menu, suggest getting that the first time so you can find your favorite. Tartar sauce is sold separately from the fish.50¢ a plastic cup which I think should come with the fish, but the fancy cardboard boxes they place your meal in are pretty pricey so this is how they cover it... Would definitely stop in again

Incredibly prepared fried Alaska Cod filets. They don't go shy on the size of them either. You get your moneys worth and more. Amazingly friendly owners and will be going back frequently! P.S. Get the sticky toffee pudding.

This was absolutely disgusting and now my stomach aches after a few bites . I'm literally crying In the corner at the fact I was so eager to try this place after seeing pics. I got the ultimate kings feast plate... the presentation is 10/10. Packaging and food LOOKS good. Here's a breakdown- Fish: OVERLY BREADED & not in the good way but in the cheap Chinese takeout kind of way minus ANY possible flavor. No salt, pepper, just HIGHLY greasy (dripping grease) fried fish. Ate one bite and got sick. Wings: there were 3. The wings are VERY small. The sticky sauce coating is okay. I was able to eat 2. Curry sauce: GROSS ASF!!!!!!! Not only did it lack great flavor but the little it did have was a light mint ? Flavor... tf. watery consistency and odd tasting. Mushy peas: tastes like chalk. No flavor or seasoning. Literally go get great value canned peas and without draining its water, just mash it up & serve.... Fries: probably the best on the plate. Not memorable. No salt. Crispier than what I thought though. Luke warm Chowder: I had high hopes.... The fish in it was fine but The chowder was all potato chunks and the consistency was again : watery. One extra star for presentation. It was nicely set up and packaged when it came and the box is cute. But I could only take UP TO 3 bites of each item before throwing away. Here are some pictures of what I still had out . I'm 100% not joking about a stomach ache & am curled up currently . This was the first and last thing I ate today. Waiting for stomach to recover.

The fresh cod was amazing. The fries were crisp and the coleslaw....the coleslaw was fresh. That 12 minute wait so worth it.

The fish was wonderful but those chips were amazing! I would go back just for those alone. The staff were friendly and didn't rush us when we were looking over the menu. The British husband was a bit disappointed that they had neither mushy peas nor curry sauce but thank goodness they had malt vinegar or there would have been tears. They were also out of sausage rolls. Hopefully the next time we stop by they will have some. Thanks for giving the hubby a little taste of home. He says it's pretty close to the chippys back in England.

I really enjoyed my two or three visits here. Really good fish and good chips (a massive amount of them, too) with a side of mushy peas that are oddly good. I wish there was actual seating but it's so good we ate it out of the back of our suv.

The best fish and chips that I have had in a long time! Excellent fish and these chips are super unique and tasty. It's a good cart but the food is top notch! It can take a but for your order but the staff are friendly and the tolerance food is well worth the wait. You must try it!

Order was done quickly, the gentleman taking our order was polite and friendly, and the food was, perhaps, the best fish and chips I've ever had.

My wife had a chance to eat at the Winston's food truck. My comments are based on her experience. The food truck is located in a pretty large lot with plenty of parking. They don't have any coverage or seating outside to "dine in." The service is pretty quick and the prices are reasonable. The fish and chips was ordered. Unfortunately, I don't get any photos but I'm sure we'll be back. The fish was a little over cooked. The batter was cooked to a crisp with a perfect crunch. I think that's what was most noticeable about it the fish. I could hear every bite Neckar of the distinct crunch. The original tarter Sadie was perfect and tangy. That's part of their secret. We loved the British newspaper they used to line the box of fish and chips. And that box...so cool. It was the British flag great idea. Overall a pretty good experience and a descent fish and chips.

If you like greasy batter with no flavor, then this is a good spot. Big Curly Chips were ok, curry and tartar sauce were good, but the fish was really gross. We didn't even finish half of one pieces of fish. Such a disappointment! Service was great though.

First off, this place is POPULAR. We went on Saturday afternoon and customers were coming one after the other. Most of them texted in their order because there were a lot of orders ahead of ours handed to people who showed up while we waited. It's in a parking lot without anywhere to sit, so does anyone know how it tastes fresh from fryer, I wondered. They don't ask you if you want it to go, now that I think about it. All food is handed over in a box splashed with the Union Jack. I was excited to try the chowder combo and P ordered the fish combo with curry sauce and 3 wings. The $1.75 wings are super tiny. They looked like something you'd feed to your dolls. The chowder was good for dipping the chips in, but the fish was stringy and ruined the overall texture. P said his fish was mostly batter and since he didn't like the curry sauce, was rather bland. We enjoyed the chips, but not enough to return. The Wooden Chicken still rules over the Prime Minister.

Learning that there was a fish n chips food cart nearby in Vancouver, WA developed by the chef who cooked for the royal family sounded very random and very Portland (we're still considered to be the Portland metro area here in the Couve!) so initially I was skeptical if this would live up to the hype. Well folx, IT DOES. I have never eaten a fish that is so deliciously battered, yet moist, yet still light and fluffy and doesn't make me feel overly full! I also have never had fish with curry sauce but it was magical and wonderful! The chips were also the perfect size - even though they reminded us of shaved apples at first haha. The tartar sauce was also delicious and I liked having that next to the curry. We weren't able to try the mushed peas since as of today (June 2023) a staff member mentioned they have been having issues with their supplier. I would definitely go back and see if they have the peas! We went on a Saturday at opening (11 AM) and were third in line. We were given a buzzer that alerted us when our box of deliciousness was ready. The cart is in the parking lot of Living Hope Church on Andresen so there is ample parking! All staff were so nice and friendly, and lots of fun vibes all around! Of note, there is no seating, just a covered area where you can order your food so we wound up eating it in the trunk of my SUV which honestly was a fun experience and made it more memorable. I saw people who had brought camp chairs and ate it next to their cars and others get it to go. We will be back!

A friend asked me to check this place out a while back. I finally got by to check it out this past Saturday. The short version is this: Holy shit! Stop what you are doing now and go. So, it is a food truck. It is in the parking lot of a megachurch that resides in the carcass of a former Kmart. On Andresen, just south of Fourth Plain Blvd, which is just south of Highway 500. Pretty easy to get to. Except probably when there's some churchy thing going on. And fish and chips... you know, I have eaten a metric shit ton of fish and chips in Jolly Olde and Scotland and Wales from years of working and vacationing there. Not to mention bars all over the US and even venerable establishments such as PNW favorite Burgerville. The menu is pretty Spartan - I mean, it *IS* a take-away fish and chips cart, right? But let that not deter you. This is easily -- easily -- the best I've ever had. The #1 - "Winston's Fish and Chips" says it's two pieces of battered cod (we each wound up with like 3.5 or so), British chips, and mushy peas (technically, it says "or curry sauce" but that doesn't matter because you're getting the mushy peas) This all sets you back a total of $14. That's nearly exactly what a three-piece halibut fish and chips will set you back at Burgerville. This is (a) slightly more and (b) a shit-ton better and (c) has mushy peas instead of coleslaw. My only complaint is that it's pretty sparse. You'll note the spread is on the hood of my car, which is due to there being no seating. The canopy? Near as I can tell is to keep you more comfy as you order. But OMG it's so good. I'll be making a return trip this Saturday, and I'm eyeing the Smoked Fish Chowder as well this time.

Upon purchasing the dinner option, I was disappointed to find that the portion did not meet expectations. The chips appeared to be overcooked and there was a significant lack of fish, with less than half of the expected quantity provided. This discrepancy in portion size was evident and detracted from the overall dining experience. Save yourself a disappointing experience and go To flying fish in Portland

We decided to stop by Winston's for dinner tonight. We both ordered the Royal Feast to-go. The first thing I loved about this place is the staff! Everyone is so courteous. The second was the presentation. The box the food came in is super cute! I really appreciate that the packaging keeps all the sauces/food from seeping through the box or getting smashed. Now for the food, the fish and chips were still warm and crispy by the time we ate it at home. The batter on the fish was light and crisp just how I like it. The flavor of the wings were more sweet than spicy, but unlike any wing I've had before. The clam chowder has a great smoky flavor to it, but is on the thinner side just to for warn you thick chowder lovers. My favorite part was the chips, but that's because I'm a chip lover! The curry and tartar sauce were both fantastic. If you like your food hot I would recommend eating it there or in your car. I don't feel like eating this food 20+ minutes after getting it would do it justice. We'll definitely be back for more!
