Bonners Fish - Waltham Forest

Been coming here since I was a very small girl living in Walthamstow. I have now moved further out and still use this chippy as it’s the best around!!

Massive shout out to the wonderful chaps who run Bonners. I have been a loyal customer for 9 years and they keep consistently delivering the finest, crispy, freshly made fish chips. A Walthamstow institution well done!

I reckon I've had fish and chips from Bonners more than 100 times over the years, but have never thought to write a review before. Anyway, I got a family fish and chips order as per usual last Thursday (1 large cod, 1 battered sausage, 1 large chips, 1 regular chips: which easily feeds 4 with no leftovers). The fish was amazingly fresh, the chips delicious, and the sausage crispy (the kids love that). Oh, and a curry sauce! It really has to be the best takeaway in Walthamstow: never, ever change!

Hands down best fish and chips in Walthamstow. Quick, friendly staff. Generous portions. Highly recommend. Much better than other pricey places nearby.

I was looking for an alternative to the chippy that I frequented for many years and I think I've found it! I've tried their cod and chips on one occasion and savaloy on another occasion. The fish was crisp, not oily and a perfect size. The savaloy was nice too, but although the chips are alright, I've had better. On both occasions the chips looked a bit darker than what I'm used to seeing in a chippy. Not sure if it's due to being a bit overcooked, or maybe the oil needs changing more often on their busiest days. I went on a Saturday evening which was very busy. When I arrived, there were about 7 or 8 people standing around outside. Turns out they had already ordered and was waiting outside due to social distancing provisions. When I ordered, I was told that it would be a 25min wait, so I waited in my car and made my way back to the shop after 25mins. But I then had to wait a further 10-15 more minutes for my order to be ready. Regardless, the fish was good enough for a return visit. Next time I'll call ahead to make my order. But the wait time and the quality of chips is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.
