• Fish • Holloway

Booked 24 times today

We do take a limited number of online bookings but walk-ins are very welcome (and encouraged)!Tired of the loosely French inspired humdrum of restaurants popping up across the city of London? Do you like holidays? Do you like cold drinks and warm service? If you've answered yes to one or more of these then perhaps Tollington's can refresh both your pallet and your mindThe idea came from a mirror in an antiques market and a love for a more informal approach to dining, the result a chippy in North London with church pews bolted to the walls to be leaned on and eaten from. The focus is on fish but the menu transcends just fish, leaving no stone unturned in the never ending quest for flavour Split between two rooms, the kitchen and bar shared by customers as they perch on bar stools and enjoy dinner and a show. The back room - lower lighting, lower seating, a slight calm compared to the front room. Works of art from friends of the restaurant adorn the walls and floors

Great service! The individual roasts were a good size, but the sharing suckling lamb advertised for two wasn't really filling, not much meat on the bone. Could've been easily eaten by only one person; it would have been more convenient to order two individual dishes. The sticky toffee pudding was a winner, but the pear dessert was a bit of a steal.. £8 for less than half a pear and a splash of cream.
