This fish and chip shop sits in Shippon, just at the edge of Abingdon-on-Thames, making it a straightforward stop whether you're passing through or based nearby.
You'll find the usual suspects done well here – cod and haddock are consistently fresh and properly fried, served with substantial portions of chips and wrapped up hot for eating straight away or taking back to where you're staying. The place draws plenty of locals, which tells you something about the reliability and portion sizes.
It's a useful spot to know about if you're spending time in Abingdon itself, where there's plenty to keep you occupied. The market town sits along the Thames with some pleasant riverside walking routes, and the County Hall Museum is worth an hour if you're interested in local history. The town centre has enough independent shops and cafes to make for a decent afternoon, so this chippy works well as either a quick lunch between attractions or an easy dinner option when you can't be bothered cooking. It's the kind of place that does one thing properly rather than trying to be fancy, which is exactly what you want when you're hungry and exploring the area.
