Kerbisher & Malt (Hammersmith)

• S flagship restaurant in Hammersmith with mixed feelings and muddled expectations
• The few tables available to diners are neatly arranged on the sides of the small floor
• If the prize is a meal this quality and size
• Pollock and coley are all available battered and double fried
• You can begin with a fried fish starter &ndash
• My lifelong issue with the fish and chips of budget friendly pubs is the nocturnal nausea resulting from a cheap food binge
• One thing I found quite cheeky is that chips and sauces need to be ordered separately from mains
• A bed of fries with the battered fish on top
• When we arrived we were pretty much the only ones in there and by the time we left it was packed
• Simon Cowell was papped coming out with a takeaway
• I have dined with Simon at the House of Lords
• My dad insists does the best fish and chips
• Surprisingly good and served with a simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice that tasted so fresh
• The fennel salad was lovely also
• 3.25 but it was a bit too cold
• The only dessert on offer is Jude&rsquo
• T imagine many people being able to manage one as we were stuffed when we left
• The other day I was in the area for a work conference and couldn&rsquo
• Sustainability being my sole aim in life (and the fact it was the cheapest choice) I went for battered coley and chips
• Cutting into it the batter was super crispy
• Mushy peas are smooth but still have the right texture &ndash
• I never thought was even a possibility
• The menu is covered with quotes and testimonials from famous chefs and critics
• Walking out with a big smile on my face
• The portion was freaking big
• The fillet of fish was like tasting a bite from the seaside
• Flaky fresh to death meat with a good bite of crunch
• The tartar sauce is also homemade
• Your luck feels like its in the gutter and the world feels generally miserable t is natural to crave the food of childhood
• My mother always served up stuff from the freezer with lashings of butter and always bread
• Voted London's best contemporary fish and chip shop by Esquire magazines
• I can hardly argue with the best in British restaurants and media
• There was absolutely no way I was going to have brown bread
• The white loaf was rammed to the brim with crisp fish fingers with incredibly soft fish flake
• The bread was lavished with butter and frankly drowned in ketchup (on my part)
• This stuff is seriously good
• All the fish are sustainably sourced which is a lovely extra to your good feelings
• The batter was just amazing
• Both dishes came with the most delicious chips I have ever eaten
• Crispy yet soft and not at all greasy wonderful potato chips were an absolute gift from heaven
• Malt serve one of the best fish and chips in London
• Chips place in London and I was please to discover such a quality restaurant producing this classic English dish
• Malt was on our must do list as it was highly rated here on Zomato and has won quite some accolades for its food and honesty with food
• So we had to return back to this eatery as we were an hour early
• The restaurant is well lit with the natural light beaming in from outside and large glass panels on the door
• The fish was nice and crispy and tasted good with the buttered soft bread
• This has diced yummy sausages which tasted really good with the bread and butter
• As claimed by the eatery these didn't taste like frozen and were actually fresh
• The onion rings were actually very different from what we are used to eating everywhere
• The onions were pickled and had a brilliant tangy touch to it
• Or share the big table with some fun people
• The fish was so oily it was almost inedible and really lacked taste
• I'm sure there is cheaper and better nearby
• The consistency of the pea mash was just right
• The portions were large for London standards
• Felt like we were back in the little towns up north where the service is cheerful and chirpy
• The fish tasted really nice and the calamari they have are good as well
