Mo's Fish & Chips

A genuine family chippy in the Crofton pocket of Orpington, close to Petts Wood, Mo's has quietly become one of the area's go-to fish suppers. Mo takes obvious pride in the frying, and it shows in the fresh, crisp batter and the care that carries right through to the packaging. Cod and Chips is the staple most locals come back for, though the homemade fish cakes and the well-kept range of options give regulars plenty of reason to vary their order.

The shop is a two-time National Federation of Fish Friers quality award winner and goes out of its way for gluten-free customers, frying their orders separately to avoid cross-contamination — a detail coeliac diners single out in reviews. It scores roughly 4.4 out of 5 across the main review sites, with frequent mentions of generous portions and friendly, efficient service. For a traditional British takeaway done properly, it is a dependable local favourite.
