Found as part of a Google search. Walked in, welcomed like a local. Gentlemen who greeted us on both visits was super friendly. When I first walked in, I thought oops this is "a local" they are not going to be excited about tourists. I could not have been more wrong. In fact, the gentlemen mentioned that it is "a local" but they welcome everyone. Even my daughter who hates fish liked it. We ate there one night for dinner and the next day for lunch. The halibut is worth the extra. The cod is good, but the halibut is better.

This was my first visit to London and I was not going to leave without having fish & chips. My hotel recommended Laughing Halibut. It was fantastic.

I ordered the halibut. It arrived hot. It was perfectly cooked. Chips were plentiful and impossible to stop eating. I recommend this whole heartedly.

A friend from home insisted that I try a chip buttie, and even though I didn't really know what that was I saw it on the menu and ordered it. It's literally french fries on a burger bun with butter. Try it. It's pretty good and I'm going to order it again the next time I'm in town.

If you're in Central London near St James's Place, go to the Laughing Halibut. You wont be disappointed.

Was recommended this establishment by a native to the area. The friendly customer service and great hospitality were the first things that were apparent to us as soon as we walked through the door. It did not take long to get a table for 4 despite it being packed. Our culinary steward provided us with some insights on what to order and was overall extremely kind. The food and drinks were quite tasty and fresh. They have the art of frying down to a T! Everything came out quickly with great quality despite each dish being made to order. Would recommend a thousand times over to anyone in the area. 🙂

Great food! We had the fish and chips and the food was so fresh! Loved the place.

We came to London and had to have fish and chips. Delicious!! The cod was fresh, white, mild and yummy. The coating is light - just perfect. I was suggested to try putting vinegar on the fish. I’m so happy I listened! Great find. Wish we had this restaurant back home.
