Rock & Sole Plaice is a historic fish and chip restaurant at 47 Endell Street in Covent Garden. Established in 1871, it welcomes diners across two indoor floors and an outdoor seating area, combining a traditional London meal with a central theatre district location.
Fish is delivered daily and fried using the restaurant's longstanding recipe. Cod and haddock provide familiar flaky choices, while plaice, lemon sole, skate and rock offer different textures and levels of flavour, subject to the current catch and availability.
Scampi made from Scottish langoustine, battered king prawns, calamari and cod goujons extend the seafood selection. Signature chips and tartare sauce accompany the main fish dishes, with onion rings, salads, sausages and other classic sides available for the table.
Wine, beer and soft drinks allow the restaurant to suit anything from a quick lunch to a longer evening meal. Diners with allergies should consult the current allergy information and speak to staff, particularly about fish, shellfish, gluten and shared frying oil.
Address: 47 Endell Street, London WC2H 9AJ, England
