About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
Poppies in Hanbury Street was Pop’s first restaurant and the one where the journey began. The retro-diner and takeaway is close to Pop’s heart as it brought 70year old Pat out of retirement. It fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening an East End chippie and a desire to offer customers a taste of the old East End.

    The food was delicious. My family was visiting from Mexico and wanted to have authentic fish and chips, so we booked here for the second time (the first time was in Camden, and they loved it). Spitalfields was amazing too, but the only thing I would flag is that, as my family was running a bit late, the hosts kept coming at me when I took the table, kind of like checking if the rest of the group will arrive, which I found a bit too pushy but other than that the experience was amazing!
