United Chip
We love Fish and Chips, we love chips, fat ones, thin ones, sweet and crispy.
We wanted to add more choice of chips whilst serving fantastic sustainable fish, brilliantly battered, to go with our varieties of cones, mouth-watering buns, sides and sauces, all complimented by a banging range of beers, wines and softs.

'For the Love of God, Where's the Deliciousness?' Asks Critic Tim ...

In the meantime, another puzzler: should restaurant critics review places like Feast Canteen, more of a glorified food court than an actual cohesive capital-r Restaurant?
United Chip Question two this week (or three, whatever): should restaurant critics review places like United Chip?
Camp two, don’t be stupid, argues that every single restaurant a critic ever reviews may as well be a freebie for the effect it has on their bank balance — once you’re spending Other People’s Money, questions of value go out of the window entirely since the amount of skin in the game is dramatically decreased.
As (relatively) cheap and cheerful new openings like Pastaio and Rambla boom, Dent is probably correct to identify “Michelin-flirting whimsy” as one “chief casualty” of the current brutal climate; “as the restaurant world tightens its belt”, customers are more likely to want to unbuckle theirs after eating satisfying, simple, delicious food than they are to fiddle around with “nitpicky,” “puzzling plates.”
There’s a pleasing symmetry to Tim Hayward reviewing Londrino: for one thing, it was the final restaurant Dent covered at ES Magazine; for another, it seems the polar opposite of Sorella, offering exactly the sort of Michelin-courting fiddliness that Robin Gill and co have apparently abandoned.

Summing it all up: Forget your greasy local frier - Clerkenwell’s new fish and chip restaurant United Chip’s all about the millennial pink, Bangkok prawn burgers and complimentary aioli.
Celebrate with a portion of fish and chips from United Chip, Clerkenwell new sit-in chippy from the All Star Lanes folks.
The menu covers all the usual favourites, offering the choice between Atlantic cod, haddock or pollock, and battered Dingley Dell sausages, plus some more creative options like a soft shell crab burger, a prawn burger, or a breaded-halloumi alternative for veggies.
Or you could opt for one of their cones, available filled with breaded scampi, calamari or just good old fashioned chips.
Plus, you don’t usually get the option to go for a bottle of Prosecco with your cod’n’chips, which is something United Chip provides along with several other bottles of wine, all of which are available by the glass Where is it?
United Chip, London EC1M: restaurant review
food location menu
Read our expert review of United Chip, a fish and chip shop in central London.
A hip central London fish and chip shop serving sustainable fish and homemade sides and sauces.
The menu is broken down into fish and chips (Atlantic cod, haddock and pollock are all available with chips or frites) and all-day specials include panko fried halloumi and battered Dingly Dell sausage.
Panko breadcrumbs coat cod strips that are loaded into a floury soft bap and covered generously in a creamy yet acidic tartar sauce.
Meaty crab legs are deep fried before being stacked in a buttery brioche bun and served with creamy sweet Bangkok mayo that packs a spicy cayenne kick.

food staff busyness
So this time, for his biannual farewell dinner, I took my husband to United Chip, a new fish and chippery on Clerkenwell Road.
As with any chippy, the first thing that should smack you in the face is the smell of vinegar — and United Chip was like walking into a vinegary opium den that promises maximum fish and chip-ness.
The menu promises cones and buns, which essentially means chips in paper and sandwiches.
United Chip represents dining for the digital age: open the app, tick the boxes, wait for the courier.
United Chip does decent cod for digital diners, but the physical space still feels more transient than traditional — which, ironically, feels rather unsustainable.
United Chip, London: 'Brilliant sauces and rather good chips ...

United Chip, 5 Clerkenwell Road, London EC1M 5PE (020 7490 0069).
On one of those recent snowy days when the country had ground to a complete halt – this was meant to be an out-of-town review, but Network Rail had other ideas; trust me, I’ll be on the road again soon enough – the shop in Clerkenwell, central London, was doing a roaring trade from those looking for something to sustain them through the Arctic blast.
There are three kinds of fish – cod, haddock and pollock – in three sizes, alongside two types of fried potato: chips or “frites”, the latter being the same as the former, only thinner cut.
Making brilliant sauces for their rather good chips like this is frankly an outrageous innovation.
Fish and chips start from £8.95 for hake to £10.45 for haddock and all the sides – gravy, mushy peas, pickled eggs – are present and correct alongside a full Scottish breakfast for £6.05 (oldsaltys.co.uk).
