Nice new Mayfair Chippy near Harrods ......took a little bit of time to take order but food came quickly once ordered . I had the classic fish and chips and it was excellent . Piping hot and both fish and the chips excellent . I had a large glass of their cheapest white wine and I thought it was perfect to go with the meal . Very impressed with the fit out of this new location and overall it was a great visit with the staff friendly and attentive . As I then went on to watch Spurs win in a Europa League match it put me in a really good mood !
