"Just had fish and chips, everything was cooked while we waited, staff were really friendly, our food was delicious, possibly the best fish and chips we’ve ever eaten, would recommend trying this to anyone."

"Fish and chips were lovely, bought trays for them rather than being wrapped in paper. The two gents in the shop were very friendly but the girl on the till was extremely miserable and certainly lacked people skills, no smiles or pleases or thank yous. Shame as it spoilt the experience of a friendly fish and chip shop"

"Another visit, a new experience. Chips were good. But this time the fish batter was soggy a soaked in oil. If this was our only experience I wouldn't be returning."

"I never normally leave reviews but I just have to for this place. We came to order 2 portions of fish and chips and it turned out they only took cash but we didn’t have any cash or debit cards on us (only Apple Pay) and therefore couldn’t withdraw cash. Very disorganised of us, I know! We’d already had such a bad day and we were both about ready to cry and go home. The man behind the counter let us have a free portion worth £9, no questions asked. So lovely and kind and it was a big portion too, so was enough for us both really. So grateful for his kindness. Was also absolutely delicious and crispy fish!!!"

"Passed through this town on the way to Cirencester. Fresh, moist fish, with lovely crispy batter. Great chips, friendly servers. Thanks for lunch"

"This is a fantastic option for dining in the Cotswalds. I am an unabashed foodie and have experienced 5 star dining across the world and have a soft spot for more casual and straightforward fare. This place absolutely hits the spot. You don’t get white table cloths and silverware, but the fish is unmatched. They do something special with their batter, as the freshness of the fish is not overwhelmed with a heavy layer of greasy dough. The service is prompt, friendly, and comfortably low key (only cash is accepted, by the way). A great, relaxing experience with the best fried fish I have had in the Cotswalds thus far. Thank you for reminding me how great fish and chips can be if prepared properly!"

"I love everything about this place. The atmosphere is s quaint, the food was delicious and the staff were helpful and friendly. This was my first experience with fish and chips during my trip to the UK from the US. I don’t normally eat fish but this was absolutely delicious!"
