The Spotlight on North Sea Fish Restaurant

Traditional Fish & Chips Just a Short Walk from the Stage

North Sea Fish Restaurant is a long-standing, family-run spot tucked into a quiet Bloomsbury street, offering some of the best traditional fish and chips in London. Just a few minutes' stroll from King's Cross and the West End, this warm and unpretentious eatery has been serving locals and visitors alike for decades. Inside, expect a cozy, old-school pub vibe with friendly service and a focus on fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.

Why Concert-goers love it

With a location that’s easy to reach from major music venues around King's Cross and Euston, North Sea Fish Restaurant is ideal for a no-fuss pre-show meal. Service is typically efficient, making it a smart choice if you're on a schedule. The relaxed atmosphere means you can chat without shouting, and the generous portions will fuel you up for dancing the night away. They also offer gluten-free options—a rare find in classic chippies.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share a hearty meal before the show

What People Say

Reviewers consistently praise the crispy batter and flaky fish, calling it “the best fish and chips in London.” Many love the welcoming, neighborhood feel and the attentive, friendly staff. Guests also highlight the variety of fish on offer—from cod and haddock to skate and plaice—plus the homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas that complete the experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the décor feels a little dated, and during peak hours, service may slow slightly. While it’s not a fancy spot, that’s part of its old-school charm. Also, if you're looking for cocktails or trendy small plates, this isn’t your place—it sticks to the classics.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers craving authentic British fish and chips just steps from major London venues, North Sea Fish Restaurant offers a tasty, affordable, and reliably satisfying option.
