Coulsdon Salt & Vinegar opens at 12:00 and closes at 21:45, Monday to Saturday. Sunday is closed. The address is 85 Stoats Nest Rd, Coulsdon CR5 2JJ. The phone for a collection order is 020 8660 6990.
The photograph is the junction of Stoats Nest Road and Brighton Road. It is not the shop. It is the corner you meet if you are coming along Brighton Road from the Coulsdon and Purley direction and turning into the road the shop is on. Number 85 is further along that road. The homepage map is the pin for the door. Coulsdon South station is also on Stoats Nest Road, at the other end of the same conversation: station, road, number 85.

There is no later Friday close and no earlier Saturday open on the published hours. 21:45 is the close every open day. If you need the fish before noon, the counter is not open yet. If you are planning Sunday lunch, this shop is not the one that day.
How collection works
Phone 020 8660 6990 and give the order, or queue and order at the counter. Say the items as they appear on the list: large cod, chips, mushy peas, a can. Say whether you want salt and vinegar. Agree a time if the fish is being fried to order, which is how the homepage describes the cooking. Turn up for that time. A bag fried early and held is the thing the shop says it does not do.
The site describes collection and takeaway from the shop. It does not list a delivery company, a delivery radius or a delivery fee. Do not arrive expecting a driver. If you cannot collect, this is the wrong format for that meal.
The homepage says you can stay as well as take the food away. That is not a booking. There is no reservation line separate from the shop phone. If you want a particular time to sit down, phone and ask whether that is possible that day. This page will not promise a table.
Prices you are collecting
Small cod £9.50, large cod £11.50, haddock £11.50, chips from £3.00. The rest of the menu — pies at £4.00, kids’ meals from £5.50, vegetarian items, drinks at £1.20 a can — is on the menu page and on the homepage. Pay at the counter. The list may change, and the changed price is the one you will be charged, not a figure remembered from a search result.
Last cooking is limited by the 21:45 close. Phoning at 21:40 for a large order is a question for the counter, not a guarantee from this page. When the door is shut, the order is the next open day.
The junction photograph has cars, a yellow line and houses. None of those houses is published here as the fish bar. Do not knock on a door in the picture. Follow Stoats Nest Road to number 85, or follow the homepage map. If you are driving, the close at 21:45 still applies. Arriving at 21:50 is the same as arriving on Sunday: the counter is shut.
