Although the bus and seating is a bit weathered, the food and staff are amazing. Opted for the Hake and Calamari Combo and thoroughly enjoyed the flavor and crispness of the batter.The calamari wasnt chewy or tough, and the fish tasted as if it climbed out of the bay into the pan, its was so delicious. A definite place to visit and enjoy the sea breeze, beautiful bay views and amazing food.
View is awesome. Fried calamari not bad. Absolutely no covid regulations in force. Uncomfortably dirty venue. Fried hake was way to oily. I think this place was awesome...but needs a serious upgrade. Wont be going back soon...or ever for that matter.
Delicious fish and calamari...give it a try, youll be back
What a view over the bay sitting on upper deck of bus. A really cool spot for those tranquil folks. Meal was good and filling.
Best fish, chips and calamari Ive had in years. Prices are also great. Will definitely be back.
Personal service, delicious fresh hake and calamari in a light crispy batter. This is comfort food with a fantastic view. All the food is made. Fresh so it takes a few minutes, but it is well worth the wait. Pricing is good and definitely not expensive. There are magnificent views over Santos Beach and the Mosselbay harbor. Its also child friendl, with transparent safety slats that keep you safe without obstructing the view. Due to the fact that it is an old school bus, it is not wheelchair accessible. The upper seating area can only be reached by a small set of stairs.
Good food and value for money. Friendly service!
I honestly dont like writing negative reviews but in this case I have to. I tried to keep my expectations within the context of the type of establishment but still ended up dissapointed. Wait times far too long. I thought the quality of the food might make up for that but it sadly didnt. Additionally, one of the items i ordered they didnt have. This was after I had a already paid for it. A simple bread roll. This was not mentioned and was only explained when I asked a staff member. we ran out and someone has gone to buy more. I never ended up getting it as we finished our food before it even got to that point. This is not acceptable. Not because of something running about but the way it was handled.
ONE OF THE MOST DISAPPOINTED EXPERIENCES i had in Mosselbay. 1st i had to carry 7 containers of fish without a plastic bag. They did not give any salt or pepper with the food no wipes for your hands nothing. Then it comes to the food.. The fish was tasteless and covered with a thick oily batter. Chips waa bad with no flavour or salt.. This place is a now go. So disappointed.. With all the restaurants around it is definitely a no go.
Best fresh calamri ,fish and chip combo👌
The fish cakes was nice but the fish and calamari was very oily. The owner can also work on his human relations.
We waited 45 min for our foodCalamari and fish is tastyChips qre terrible using frozen chips instead of fresh potatoes
Best fish ,calamari experience in Mossel bay being from cpt with plenty of fisheries around and looking for a fisheries in mossel bay ......London Bus fisheries was the place.The chips could have been fried in fresh oil.Thanks guys for a good fishy experience
Fresh fish and good service.
Very romantic and the view spectacular and the fish and chips were perfectly fried and served.
Terrible experience! Fish was undercooked and oily. Tiny portion of chips. We were told that the order would take 15 minutes but ended up waiting for an hour. Will not be returning.
Proper traditional fish and chips 🐟 🍟 It was yummy
Fresh food. Wonderful place to order sea-food and eat with a beautiful sea and mountain view. Located on the Mossel Bay harbour.
For the best fish and calamari in the Southern Cape
A must visit in Mosselbay. Fresh fish and a relaxed vibe. Very inexpensive
Combo is perfect meal and nice experience
Loved the food
From their menu we had the deep fried calamari and chips as well as the hake and chips, R55 each. The food was delicious and not oily as fish and chips places tend to be. The location is great, you can sit on top of the bus which allows for views over the surrounding Santos beach or seating at Simply Asia next door or at the back of the bus for more of a protected dining experience, all of which have ocean views. Would recommend.
Great view of Santos beach. Fish nice, chips sometimes not fantastic. Calamari tender inside and crisp on the outside. Prices reasonable. Tartar sauce great. Rustic atmosphere and right on the sea. We love to go there.
Eating fish and chips in an old bus sitting at the harbors edge is awesome. The food is fresh and yummy. A lovely atmosphere while you take in the breathtaking views of the bay and sail boats coming and going. This area is a buzz if activity, with fisherman, scuba divers, tourists etc. A really great place. Its casual dinning with a beautiful view. Love it. If you like Oysters try the Oyster box next to the bus. Its part of the same company.
Fresh fish and awesome views!
Best fish and chops!
This is what I call old fashion style restaurant. Nothing fancy, friendly people and uncomplicated menu. The sea food is well prepared with a home made tartar sauce which complements it. You dont have to rob a bank before you visit them!
Not a place to buy takeaways. Fish smelled of old oil and no vinegar or salt was added not offered? Was not sure weather they ran out or just didnt bother. Would rather buy opposite Mosselbay Mall. Now there is a shop that has the best fish and chips takeaways.
Last year we had fish and calamari to die for. This year we were so excited to be back. We talked the Londonbus up so much with friends only to be so disappointed. The fish batter was so thick it was uneatable. The calamari was tough and my fish cake was completely raw inside. Will not be coming back next year. So sad. Why change something thats perfect!
Very nice food! Very nice few! Prices was good. Enjoy a good view and allot of parking space. Easy in easy out!
Very friendly. Enjoy the food. Good prizes.
One of the best fish and chips I had ever ate. Calamari also tops.In last three years I visited Mossel Bay and each time I couldnt left before visiting London Bus.I recommended friends and family who visited Mossel Bay and all had similar experience.Very quick service and delicious sea food .
Nice little restaurant serving old fashioned english fish n chips, as well as other stuff. Waiting time for your order is quite long, but if you sit up top there is a great view of the beachfront and the sea. The fish was very fresh and tasty, bit oily which is the way the original fish n chips always was until the health nuts got involved. We enjoyed it, was a great experience. Prices are very reasonable, actually cheap, but quality is good. Value for money. You place your order down the bottom, then go up to the top deck of the bus and wait, and they will bring it up to you. Pretty basic, but quite cool!
The best in mossel bay by far
Theyre fish is old and gooey batter .... the hake is overthrown with batter and didnt even look like fish ... it was like a long fish strip .Really not good quality, and also unfriendly services....They should really buy and cook real fish.
By far the best in thef Garden Route
Very unique fisheries with an amazing view. The calamari was unbelievably tender and well spiced and the hake melted in our mouths. They supply tartar and tomato sauce and have soft drinks to boot. Definitely a must visit in Mossel Bay!!
Best calamari to be found. We love the vibe and the excellent service and consistently good fish, chips and especially the excellent calamari. Affordable even for pensioners. Excellent always.
Great food
It used to be awesome. We visited the place today and got very disappointed again. Oily food and cold chips were served. We wont support anymore.sadly.
Great view, fast service and a nice fish and chip. The portion was a bit much for me and towards the end the greasy was starting to get to me because it got cold, but the initial bite was wonderful. I would recommend people to order a smaller portion to start with and get more later to avoid the issue I was having.
Fish very oily.....hake was funny shaped pices.
BEST fish and ships in town!!You will never taste anything like it.I keep coming back for more.
Fresh food
Best fish Ive ever tasted. Do not miss out. Quaint location 💛
Fish and chips on an ol London bus. What a great enroute stop.
Very nice take away fish and chips restaurant that have a beautiful place to sit on the deck overlooking the harbour.
Affordable
Nice food big portions. Just a bit confusing to know how long you will wait for your food. Sitting upstairs can get very hot even in winter if you dont have the shade of an umbrella.
Very tasty fish and chips. Calamari was cooked to perfection. Quick service.
Great food! The calamari and chips combo comes in a smaller container than the hake and chips combo, thus the calamari combo has a lot less chips. Tasty and fast.
Food was exceptional! Great experience and view.No toilets were working. (Municipal pipes blocked)
View is great! Fish is nice but not the best. Massive portion chips with hake. Other than that! Try their chicken strips! Thats yummy!
Freshest Hake Ive ever tasted
Highly recommend the hake and calamari combo
Good value for Money
We enjoyed our outing there. Food was good and freshly prepared and served in a record time. Pleasurable.
Beautiful environment. Great atmosphere
Great fish and chips, great view
Such a special spot for a family meal on holiday. Quality of service and food was excellent.
Most incredible sun downer location and picturesque atmosphere, enjoyed the wine selection and complemented the sushi superbly!!
Very good food 😋
Good food. Very unique place
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great value for money and good location
Not good at all, the fish butter was terrible and on top of that was fried in an old oil, taste nothing but horrible, calamari was better.The place is dirty, Im not recommend this place at all, only if you are looking for a bad experience.
Very nice but do not accommodate smokers at all...pity
Fish and calamari combo was deliscious and well priced. Just a port there was no seating on the bus
Good quality food and a perfect view from the seating at top of the bus
Excellent fish, calamari and chips at affordable prices. And who does not like looking over the ocean while relaxing.
Best hake and chips in town, calamari is good too.
Only seafood (mealt-in-your-mouth fish and the crispiest thickly-cut pieces of calamari) and fresh hot chips, no russians and no alcohol. I highly recommend this as a good Halaal option although theres no certification. A must stop for tourists. Reasonably priced.Upstairs deck seating, but can get uncomfortably windy. Great view and ample parking close to shop.Make sure to tip well as the staff do great job of preparing your order and bringing it to your table, although they dont offer table service.
Fish is amazing and cheap too . Definitely worth a try.
The fish and chips are amazing!!
Best fish and chips in mossel bay
Delicious food, lovely view and very chilled atmosphere.
Fantastic sea food, best view, quick service.
Bring some hand sanitizer, all the condiments feel oily. Calamari is great though. Unfriendly service.
Calamari bad bad bad
Lovely setting and good food
This place is appalling. The filth is indiscribable. Below where we sat was an accumulation of plastic cutlery, cardboard boxes and other rubbish. On the upside the view is to die for. So sad that a venue with such potential doesnt capatalise on this prime site.
Great. Again. Lovely view of the sea too.
Lovely . ..Every bite worth the money.
Great view but average food
