Faulkner's

The last owners were brilliant. The ones who have it now are useless. The food doesn't taste right and the chips are awful. It was closed the last few times I have been passed. Maybe it's closed down..who knows...there was no notice to say they are on holiday etc.

The only good thing about Faulkners is that if you arrive just as they're closing up you'll be treated to some freebies with your oders, with any luck one of their admittedly pretty fine fish cakes - but that's any fish shop no? Fish is inconsistent, chips are awful, and the frier is forgetful, so orders take longer than they should when the smiley ladies working the take out counter remind him he hasn't fried the scampi you ordered 15 minutes before. Which leads to more freebies, often a cup of their radioactive looking mushy peas in a polystyrene cup. Yummo.

Prime fish and chip shop of the world for sure. Great staff and atmosphere. The home made fish cakes go like hot cakes.

A not so hidden gem in the middle of Dalston. Where else would you find Prime Halibut of the World alongside homemade fishcakes? No-where. And when you add the talents of the frying man, psychic Natasha and other matey (who work tirelessly and with great humour in the takeaway section) this that makes Faulkner a very special place.
