Price: Cod and chips, £17.45 Address: The Golden Hind, 71a, 73 Marylebone Ln, London W1U 2PN Though originally owned by Italians, it has been run by Anthony Christou since 2002, and there are little hints of both lines of descent on the menu – feta-cheese fritters and Greek pickles in the side orders, affogato and limoncello among the puddings. This isn’t a competition, but the Marylebone Village stalwart, having opened in 1914, is the only restaurant on the list that’s been around for more than a century. Price: Large cod and chips, £13.95 Address: Golden Union, 38 Poland St, London W1F 7LY All fish and potatoes are from British soil and sea and cooked from fresh rather than frozen, and the pies are proudly homemade. Neon signage, bright yellow tabletops and squeezy, tomato-shaped ketchup bottles give this modern restaurant all the retro charm of an American diner but with the menu of a good old-fashioned British caff. Price: Cod, chips and tartar sauce, £13.95 Address: Oliver's Fish & Chips, 95 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4RL The gluten-free batter is fried separately so that coeliacs can eat with confidence, and chips are topped with scraps (the crispy bits of batter that have escaped during frying) on request. Appropriately for its Belsize Park postcode, Oliver's offers traditional battered goodies to eat in or take away, but also salads, open sandwiches and fillets from the grill: salad Niçoise with grilled tuna steak isn't your average chip-shop fare.
