"Sourcing all of their fish from sustainable stocks, Toff’s of Muswell Hill is the fish and chip shop in London. Cod, haddock, skate, and halibut are among the 14 different fish and shellfish you can order here, battered, breaded in matzo, or grilled. The portions are plenty and the food is a classic that everyone has to try at least once in their lifetime."

Time Out London

"This Muswell Hill stalwart is a true one-off; the corporate slickness comes from being a long-established family business that knows what it’s doing and knows that people like it. Fish is cooked to order and batter is the norm; egg and matzo, or grilling, bring a surcharge. No complaints about the gigantean battered haddock, however, which arched across the plate as though in yoga posture. Fat chips were fabulous."

Anthony Rahayel

"An extremely crunchy fish fried with its skin which looks and feels like salmon skin. The crunch of the skin was excellent before you reached the heart. Inside is a moist heart of pure white fish. Really good, simple fish and chips I've never had before."

Andy Hayler

"This is a regular chippie, nothing fancy, but just go in and order the haddock and chips. The chips could be improved upon but the haddock could hardly be. The tartar sauce is homemade, and even the pickled cucumbers are excellent."

Tim Jepson

"Unless you're on a mission, it's unlikely you'll make the trip as far north as Muswell Hill, but if you do, you'll find the establishment that many rate London's best fish and chip restaurant."

London On The Inside

"With over 10 different types of fresh sustainable stockfish, Toff’s will certainly satisfy whatever particular craving you’ve got. Bringing you a family-friendly atmosphere, reasonably priced food and loads of choices, you really can’t go wrong at Toff’s."

Gentleman's Journal

"Toff’s has been around since the early 60s, and whilst it might not look like much from the outside, it regularly tops lists of the best fish & chips in London. It is, without a doubt, our absolute number one."

Nathan Aguilera

"The chips have always been fantastic, chunky yet light. They also fry in refined groundnut oil, which they change daily. Their takeaway menu has all the British classics, with cod, haddock and plaice prominent. They even serve skate and rock eel, something you don’t often see outside London. It all tastes best with salt and vinegar, the classic British condiments."

Ben Norum

"Since opening in 1968, this Muswell Hill chippie has been repeatedly voted among the UK’s best fish shops. That’ll be due to the crunchy batter, juicy fish and fluffy-centered chips — plus the unbeatably warm welcome. Traditional cod, scampi and skate are on offer, but the extensive fish menu also includes rainbow trout, rock eel and Dover sole."

Cityseeker

"The fish served is absolutely fresh and covered with battered goodness that hooks the diners at the very first bite!"
