Kennedy’s of Goswell Road
Chef Angela Hartnett also suggests Kennedy’s of Goswell Road, a classic spot for fish and chips.
The chef shares: “The batter’s light the fish is good quality, and I like the fact it’s old-school – it is not trying to be anything it’s not.”

With a 4/5 rating on Tripadvisor, 50 Kalò is praised by many with one visitor sharing: “Great pizzas, fantastic Tiramisu. Loved the ‘Pistamisu’. The staff have been lovely, and the service was fast. Recommend booking a table well ahead, else be prepared to wait. In any case, the food is worth it.”
Ganapati
If you want to try some South Indian food, Ganapati in Peckham is the go-to for chef Shuko Oda, sharing that they offer a great deal: “£13.25 for a fish thali with dal, rice, salad and poppadom. It’s really satisfying to eat and it’s such a charming restaurant.”
On TripAdvisor, one visitor said it was “fantastic”, sharing: “The curries are fantastic, their roti bread which goes with them is so flaky and soft it absolutely makes the meal. Great atmosphere – clearly a popular place with a well-deserved great reputation amongst the in-the-know locals!”
