Poppies Portobello is OPEN!

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that the doors of Poppies Portobello are now officially open! Come and find us at 152 Portobello Road in the heart of Notting Hill where we’ll be serving up the finest fish and chips to West London! 
 
Expect to see all the same cosy and nostalgic ambience that you love about our restaurants in Spitalfields, Camden and Soho. We’ve got lots of lovely design features that tell the story of Poppies and our beloved founder, Pat ‘Pop’ Newland as well as special touches that hark back to the building’s former life as a Bank. 
 
See if you can spot –
  • An exquisite portrait of Pop, painted by esteemed portrait artist Liam Dickinson who you may know from ‘Portrait Artist of the Year’ where he was a finalist in 2017.
  • British heritage paint, vintage milk glass light shades, a replica bank checkerboard floor, wooden panelling and the Bank’s original vault and money shute.
  • Brass fish-shaped door handles, oars and fishing paraphernalia.
  • Our ‘Ketchup corner’ painted in Lick paint’s limited edition RED HTK 57 Ketchup colour, a unique blend of pigments capturing the perfect shade of ketchup red!
 
And of course, you can also expect to taste our award-winning fish and chips, crafted with fresh British ingredients and Pop’s cherished batter recipe using time-honoured techniques to prepare and cook the food. The result is crispy, golden batter encasing succulent fish so tender it’ll melt in your mouth with chunky hand-cut chips that are fluffy on the inside and irresistibly crispy on the outside.
What are you waiting for?! Come and join us for a lip smacking, belly filling, classic British meal!
