Popular fish and chip shop, the Mayfair Chippy, is set to double up in London with a new restaurant opening this November.
Dubbed “The Mayfair Chippy Knightsbridge”, the new restaurant will be a much larger site than the North Audley Street original, split over two floors with a new speciality gin bar and a heated and covered outdoor dining terrace. It will also be open all day, unlike the original.
The restaurant will open on Brompton Road, taking over a site long since closed, just across the road and a short walk from Harrods.
The lunch and dinner menu are yet to be fully announced, but early dishes indicate the restaurant is continuing the success and popularity of the items from the Mayfair original with dishes including TMC Shepherd’s Pie and the Mayfair Classic (fish and chips).
The Mayfair Chippy Knightsbridge is also set to serve breakfasts, in a first for the brand, and items on the new breakfast menu include the “Butchers Breakfast” with Cumberland sausage, smoked bacon and black pudding, with a “Fisherman’s” version substituting cod sausage and treacle cured salmon bacon as pescatarian alternatives.
Other fish-forward items set to feature in the new breakfast menu include lobster eggs benedict and kedgeree fritters, served with a fried egg.
Alongside the extended opening to accommodate the new breakfast service, the gin bar is another addition exclusive to the Knightsbridge outpost, with the drinks dispensary opening in the early morning to serve Bloody Marys, before becoming a classic cocktail bar throughout the rest of the day. Alongside this will be a menu that features, what the restaurant describes as, “a variety of global wines”.

The original Mayfair Chippy has won legions of fans over the years, and despite being open for nearly a decade, continues to have queues out the door for their fish and chips.
The Standard rated the Mayfair original as having some of the best fish and chips in Central London, and it gained further critical acclaim with an AA Rosette.
