Captain's Table - Tandridge

Just the best fish and chips! Everything is cooked fresh, the fish and batter are light and not too greasy and the chips are delicious. Slice of lemon is a nice touch!

We have had great fish and chips from here previously but last night's experience was very disappointing. We pre ordered 3 haddock, a savaloy and 2 large chips. When we arrived to collect we were ignored by the girls serving who were too busy chatting about handbags and make up to acknowledge us apart from taking our money. The fish was fine but the chips were under cooked and had become one solid lump of potato. We couldn't even separate the chips. The savaloy was hard and cold. We weren't sure whether it was over cooked or undercooked! We will be trying to find another fish and chip shop sadly.

We pre ordered nine portions of cod chips with the request that the chips be well cooked as they are so often quite flabby in fish chip shops. Fortunately we noticed in time that they can't count as we were only given 8 portions! This was rectified, which meant a bit of a wait as they cook everything to order. We weren't overly impressed with our meals as whilst the batter was crispy, the fish was overcooked and the chips, well flabby! Maybe it was a bit of a tall order for a Bank Holiday Monday but we felt that having given prior notice, things should have been perfect.

Had 2 portions of cod and chips. Enormous portions , cooked to perfection. Light batter and flaky fish which melted in the mouth. Will definitely use again.

Looking for a fish and chips shop that was open before noon, my friend found the Captain's Table via Google. Ironically, there's no table and it's takeaway only. I got a senior discount, which is a smaller portion, but well worth the £2 discount. The portion size was satisfactory. Cooked freshly, to order, the fish was very tasty. The chips are also excellent. Family run, the lady at the counter was friendly and welcoming. Although not the cheapest chippy in South London, the quality makes it good value for money. This may be the best tasting fish and chips I've ever had. The only negative point is they are cash only and don't take cards.
