Michael's Fish andChip Bar

Michael's Fish and Chip Bar is a family-run chip shop on Hainault Road in Leytonstone, serving cod, plaice and other fish fried to order alongside chips, pies and standard chip-shop sides. Local coverage, including a 2024 readers' poll run by the Leytonstoner, found Michael's the most popular chip shop in the area, well ahead of other contenders on nearby Francis Road. Portions run generous relative to price, and the shop trades as a straightforward takeaway counter rather than a sit-down restaurant, with a small amount of bench seating outside. It holds a current food hygiene rating recorded with the Food Standards Agency under its Hainault Road address. The business is independently run from this single Leytonstone site, with no other branches recorded elsewhere in London, and forms part of a small cluster of long-standing chip shops serving the Leytonstone and Leyton area.
