Cypriot-owned fish and chip shops in the UK have long been known among the very best, and many are still thriving today. One of the most highly rated in recent years is The Golden Chippy in Greenwich, owned by Husseyin Kanizi, which was recognised by TripAdvisor in 2025 as one of the top fish and chip shops in the country. If you know a great Cypriot-owned chippy still serving unforgettable flavour, we’d love to hear your recommendations and memories below.
Other notable Cypriot successes include Barracuda in Harrow, owned by Yiannis Christofì, and Pap’s Fish and Chips in Hull, run by the Papadamou family. Another iconic name is Toff’s of Muswell Hill, previously owned by Cypriot families and widely celebrated for its quality over the years.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, fish and chip shops were the unquestioned kings of takeaway food. Today, they face tougher competition from burgers, fried chicken, pizza and kebab shops — but many Cypriot-owned chippies continue to uphold tradition, quality, and a legacy of community excellence.
