Golden, flaky cod. Piping hot chips. 100% halal (no beer batter, no pork). £10.95 well spent. Sat in Richmond with nothing but peace and fresh air. This is your sign to do a low-key picnic, unplug, and just let the day drift by 🍃🐟🌳 Pier 1 📍11-13 Petersham Rd, Richmond TW10 6UH 💰£10-20pp #Richmond #HalalEats #FishAndChips #LondonFoodie #thingstodoinlondon #picnicspot @Pier1
