Why go
Book Poppies Fish & Chips when the brief is classic London fish and chips in a casual Spitalfields room, not a drinks-led dinner. The Hanbury Street original is strongest for cod and chips, chippy sides, families, solo meals, easy group dining, with beer and soft drinks playing a supporting role rather than driving the experience.
