Tollington's is an Iberian fish bar that sees Four Legs pair Ed McIlroy and Jamie Allan take over an old fish and chip shop on Finbury Park's Tollington Road. The pair have kept original feel and vibe of the one-time fish and chip shop, making sure the tiling, fat fryers and formica floors stay in place whilst offering a new Spanish-led menu.
Similar to their other establishment, The Plimsoll, Tollington's consists of a walk in bar and a bookable restaurant. Ed and Jamie's vision is inspired by time spent in Spain with their families, and fell in love with the no-nonsense way of doing things. The idea of Tollington's is that guests can come in and grab a drink, get comfortable and eat good food, whether stopping for a quick bite to eat or a bigger plate. Like The Plimsoll just down the road, Tollington's is cosy and likely to be packed at all times of day with diners grabbing tables or stopping to lean on a windowsill for a quick glass of vermouth and a tortilla.
On the menu, you will find plenty of regional dishes that include fried, cured and fresh options and the drinks menu will serve everything by the glass along with Spanish beers, spirits and wines. You can expect the likes of chips with bravas sauce and aioli, devilled crab fritters, smoked eel omelette and pork neck with broad beans on the menu, backed up by zippy Spanish wines, as well as a selection of vermouths and sherries. The wine list is compact, offering no more than four options for red, white and rose.
