A branch of one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the UK, Poppies Soho combines authentic British cuisine with a 70s inspired interior. Owned by Pat 'Pop' Newland, Poppies brings an East End feel to traditional fish and chips with the likes of dishes such as jellied eels. Pop has been in the fish and chip business since he was 11, and his expertise is part of the reason why Poppies is a success.
Poppies is committed to serving fresh, top-quality produce, which is why the fish is locally sourced from at Billingsgate Market and then prepared on site by a Poppies veteran Fishmonger, Salih. The restaurant offers battered cod or haddock, along with classic sausages, fishcakes, saveloy, bottled wine and beer and of course hearty portions of perfectly crisped chips.
Housed in the former 2i's Coffee Bar, aka the birthplace of rock 'roll, the decor of Poppies Soho boasts painted anaglypta wallpaper, walls with tongue groove panelling and a formica counter and bar front. The shop evokes the post-war era Poppies is synonymous with, whilst prompting memories of a 1970s cafe by day, and a music and dance venue by night.
