Nothing beats classic fish and chips: crisp, golden batter giving way to tender white fish, served with chunky chips and a dollop of tangy tartar sauce. But the right drink can take it from satisfying to unforgettable – which is why we’ve put real thought into the best drinks to pair with fish and chips at Fish!.
From light and bubbly options to bold, botanical flavours and smooth, spirit-forward pours, our bar is designed to complement every kind of craving. Whether you’re dipping, sharing, or settling in for a relaxed meal, our fish and chips drink pairings are there to elevate the whole experience – one sip at a time.
G&TS That Cut Through the Crunch
A good gin and tonic is practically made for fried fare. Clean, crisp, and refreshing, it lifts the palate and resets your taste buds for the next delicious bite. Try the Monkey 47 with Indian Tonic and Blackberries for a rich, complex sip. Or keep it coastal with Gin Mare and Mediterranean Tonic garnished with basil and strawberry — a Mediterranean twist that dances beautifully with the salt and vinegar of your meal.
Looking for a fruitier kick? The Peach & Raspberry Beefeater with Indian Tonic, Mint & Raspberry brings a bright, juicy zing to your plate.
Wines That Work Wonders
For wine lovers, our list is brimming with fish-friendly whites. The Picpoul de Pinet, Languedoc 2021 offers bright acidity and citrus notes that match the freshness of your fish, while the Sauvignon “Bob short for Kate”, New Zealand 2022 delivers zesty grapefruit aromas with a crisp finish — a natural match for anything fried and flaky.
Fancy some bubbles? The Prosecco Prima Alta, Italy NV brings effervescence to each bite and a celebratory feel to any meal.
Beers, Cocktails & More
There’s something timeless about washing down fish and chips with a cold beer. Choose from Peroni Nastro Azzurro, or level up with a Partizan IPA for a more hop-forward experience. Prefer a cocktail? The Passion Fruit Caipirinha adds a sweet, tangy flair that balances out rich dishes, while the English Garden — with its blend of gin, vodka, St. Germain, cucumber, and lime – refreshes like a garden breeze.
Something for Everyone
From non-alcoholic Seedlip mixes for mindful sipping, to expertly crafted liqueur coffees for a cheeky mid-day pick-me-up, our bar menu ensures everyone at the table has something to toast with.
