Saturday lunch in Coulsdon is often a walk: Brighton Road shops, then Stoats Nest Road, then number 85. The photograph is the town, not the fish bar. Use it to recognise the place you are already in. The pin for the door is on the homepage map.

The board does not change for Saturday. Small cod £9.50, large cod £11.50, haddock £11.50, plaice and rock salmon £9.50, chips from £3.00. Kids’ boxes start at £5.50. If you have children with you after a morning in town, those boxes are the short version of the order: four nuggets and chips, four cod bites and chips, fish cake and chips, sausage and chips, or saveloy and chips.

Lunch, not a late licence

People treat Saturday as a longer day. This shop does not. 12:00 is still the open. 21:45 is still the close. Arrive at 11:40 and the door is shut. Arrive at 21:50 and the door is shut. The published hours do not give Saturday a later fry for the people coming back from London on a slow train.

Coulsdon South station is on the same road. If you are getting off a Saturday train and walking to the chippy, read the station page before you follow the wrong Coulsdon name. Coulsdon Town and Coulsdon South are not the same conversation. This counter is the Stoats Nest Road one.

Phone 020 8660 6990 from the platform if you would rather the fish hit the fryer while you walk. That only works if you have actually said you are on the way, and if the shop is within hours. It is not a delivery. There is no driver on this listing.

Saturday with more than one appetite

A Saturday bag for two is often one large fish, one smaller item, chips, peas or curry, and a bottle rather than two cans. The 1.25 litre drinks are £3.00. A pie at £4.00 next to a cod is a common split when one person does not want fish. Vegetarian options sit on the same board: veggie burger £5.80, spicy bean burger £5.00, jumbo spring roll £3.50, jumbo curry roll £2.00, onion rings £3.50.

Pay at the counter. Prices on this site can go out of date. Saturday’s board is the one that counts. This website does not take payment.

Sunday is not a continuation of Saturday. If you are planning a weekend of fish and chips, Saturday is the last day this shop is open. Monday 12:00 is the next opening.
