Fishcotheque is a longstanding fish and chip restaurant at 79A Waterloo Road, close to Waterloo station. Its straightforward approach centres on freshly prepared fish, homemade batter and generous portions, served in an informal setting that suits local diners, commuters and visitors exploring central London.
Cod, haddock, plaice, rock and sea bass offer a broad choice of fish, with the crisp batter providing contrast to the tender flesh. Chips complete the classic pairing, and diners can select a familiar favourite or try a different catch while keeping the comforting format of a traditional British fish supper.
Scampi, whitebait and calamari extend the seafood selection beyond battered fillets. Pies, sausages, saveloy and burgers provide alternatives, while mushy peas, curry sauce, gravy, pickled onions and gherkins let each guest add the accompaniments they associate with a proper chip shop meal.
The restaurant serves both diners who want to sit down and customers collecting food to take away. Soft drinks and simple desserts round out the menu, making Fishcotheque a convenient option for a quick lunch, an evening meal or a satisfying plate of fish and chips before continuing a journey through Waterloo.
