Smiths serves up British classics

According to its website, Smiths is solely owned by two British gentlemen who run the business “hands-on” day to day.

It first opened in Singapore in 2006 with a focus on providing “the best of British fish and chips, cooked to order”.

It also claims to be the only true authentic British fish & chips shop in Singapore.

Its signature Cod or Haddock & Chips is reportedly made using the founder’s grandfather’s secret recipe from the 1950s.

The fish, imported from the United Kingdom, is said to be crispy on the outside and meaty within, while the chips on the side are also prepared fresh on-site each day.

Besides fish and chips, Smiths offers other British classics such as Steak And Guinness Pie & Chips and English Cottage Pie.

It also serves Bangers & Mash, a quintessentially British dish comprised of an English sausage with mashed potatoes, caramelised onions and mushy peas.
