• Golden Hind

     
  • Bet you’ve never seen a contraption like the pastel-hued art deco fryer at this marvellous chip shop. Sadly, it’s only used to store menus these days (the cooking’s done in a kitchen at the back), but the Golden Hind still oozes local character, entirely in keeping with its mazy Marylebone Lane location. On a busy late-Thursday lunchtime, we tucked into firm fillets of haddock in a light batter, fluffy fish cakes spiked with black pepper and parsley, reliably gnarly chips, an elaborately fanned pickled onion, and the mandatory thin white sliced bread and butter – all accompanied by ginger beer. The Greek owners and staff really make a fuss over you, especially if you’re with children (they earned their tips by kindly stashing and retrieving our pushchair). You can tell they’ve seen years of repeat business. Posher nosh like prawns and whitebait is available, and you can also bring your own wine. But on a lunch hour, or taking time out from a shopping trip to nearby Oxford Street, proper fish and chips like this really hits the spot.

    The ambience is very basic- which is one of the appeals of this place. The fish is very fresh but on the most recent visit was undercooked, perhaps because we were the first people at lunch and maybe the fryer temperature had not reached the desired level. Being able to bring in your own wine (there are wine shops very close by) with no corkage charge is a big plus.
