Sutton and Sons

Vegan-Friendly Haven: London’s Fish Delight!

In the heart of North London's Angel-Islington district, Sutton and Sons continues to uphold the cherished traditions of British fish and chips while innovatively catering to a diverse range of dietary preferences. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by the lively atmosphere and the friendly staff whose keen attentiveness set the tone for a welcoming dining experience. Touted as a haven for vegetarians and vegans, the menu delivers an unexpected delight with its banana blossom vegan “fish” and richly textured vegan calamari — patrons can even opt for various soy protein variations. The kitchen, clearly practiced in their craft, cooks everything fresh to order, imparting that exotic tang with a twist on the traditional fish fry that captures both intrigue and satisfaction.

Despite sporadic hiccups echoing through customer feedback, such as long waiting times or the occasional culinary mishap, Sutton and Sons remains highly praised for consistently nailing the essentials — quality fried seafood paired with generous helpings of crispy golden chips. My cod was impeccably prepared, flaking perfectly, showcasing why this establishment claims a strong footing in offering the finest fish and chips in town. Equally notable are their reasonable accommodations for any previous oversights, exemplifying their commitment to customer service. Concluding my visit, whether vegan, classic aficionado, or occasional indulgent, Sutton and Sons caters to a breadth of palates, solidifying its esteemed reputation among North London’s top-notch chippies. — Jasper Griddle
