Please check out this spot, the fish and chips were great, as were the drunken noodles. This is a gem, let’s support it!

We were the only customers and it still took a really long time for food to come out. I thought it would be quick but we were there for almost an hour. It was pretty expensive and was not worth it in my opinion. Needed the salt pepper and lemon to be any good and the bottom of my fish was soggy. Also the music playing was really depressing? I did enjoy the sausage roll and that came out quickly.

Great food, attentive staff, and a cozy atmosphere. A unique combination of food as they have both Thai and traditional British fare. For those with celiac or a gluten allergy, they have gluten free fish and chips as well as sticky toffee pudding which my girlfriend confirmed were both delicious!

We very much enjoyed dinner here, in part because one of our four diners is not a fan of pub food. The Brit Embassy has that covered with a full Thai menu that is excellent! We got the sausage rolls, curry puffs and spring rolls as apps. Everyone was pleased. The puffs and rolls had wonderfully flaky crusts and the spring rolls were so crispy outside but perfectly moist inside. For ours mains, we had halibutt and chips, and a Thai cashew nut chicken that left Pete quite pleased. We were disappointed that, too full, we had to pass on deserts.

Recently in the UK, I was struck by how authentic and delicious The British Embassy Fish & Chips is. The cod was fried perfectly in a delicious coating; the chips were legit wide-cut (not fries) and the owner greeted me with warmth and took the time to chat about British football, cricket, and family. Sauces are all included in the take-out order. I wish I could stay all week in RVA to try everything here!
