Brilliant fish and chips and chicken bites. The batter was good, very crispy coating with good quality fish. 100% would recommend But it is expensive

Lovely cod and chops here at Lunchtime today. Good and friendly service, nice atmosphere. The batter was light and crispy and the fish white. A bit pricey but where isn't these days!!! Well recommended

One of the IF NOT* The best fish and chips shop around! Service was great! Jim was able to accommodate a party of 15 people visiting the local town. A family friend was celebrating her birthday and Jim and the team did really well to manage us. We had a great time and we enjoyed the food! PLUS THEY HAVE UNLIMITED CHIPS! WOULD COME BACK AGAIN to Bourton on the water solely for this place! Thank you Jim and the team who served us on 12/11/24 3pm ish time.

Best cod I’ve ever had from a chippie, nice crispy chips too. Not greasy at all. The vegetarian pie and chips got top marks from the wife too. Great portion size too so good value for money. We had takeaway from Bourton On The Water, staff were very polite friendly and helpful. Will be back.

Family run restaurant serving the best Fish n Chips I’ve had. Light crispy battered flaky cod and chips. Best I’ve ever had. My spouse had the savory pie and enjoyed it as well. Staff is attentive and friendly. They make you feel appreciated which is lacking in much of today’s service industry. Great experience and value all around.

I can't think of a better fish and chip shop that I have eaten in the UK. Our trip to Burton on the water was planned around having dinner here, and it did not disappoint. Every meal we had was cleaned away and the waitress asked if we wanted extra chips at no extra cost. I will definitely be returning.

What an amazing place this is. The food was delicious and the service amazing. The staff couldn't do enough for us, we were served by a wonderful man that was so accommodating. The quality of the fish was so fresh, not greasy just perfect. The curry sauce packed a punch and was equally as delightful. I cannot wait to return. Thank you to you all.

In town visiting family and had to make ‘the chip shed’ my first food destination in the cotswolds as I’ve heard good things! Was not disappointed..a modern twist on a good old fashioned “fish and chips” concept..worth the visit
