North Sea Fish Restaurant
About
North Sea Fish Restaurant is a family‑run local favourite located in the heart of King’s Cross, London. Since 1977, the 80‑seat venue has offered classic British fish and chips made from freshly sourced, sustainably caught seafood. The menu features everything from turbot hollandaise and cod to hearty chips with mushy peas or curry sauce, and even drinks such as traditional tinned Mulled Beer and full‑bar bottles. The restaurant’s warm, intimate atmosphere, complete with a full bar, makes it a popular spot for lunch, dinner and weekend gatherings. Guests praise the friendly, attentive staff and generous portions. The free refills on chips for diners in the dining room add a special touch, and the fresh fish is consistently highlighted as a standout. The restaurant also offers takeaway, catering for groups of up to 80 people and private hire options. With open hours from 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM (Tuesday to Sunday) and 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM on Mondays, visitors can enjoy the menu throughout the day and in the early evening. Best Season: Late spring through early autumn (May–September) when the weather is pleasant and visitor crowds are lighter.
