Smart Fish Bar

If you're in or around this regency town and want proper fish and chips, this is genuinely where people living locally go. Everything gets cooked fresh when you order it, and the batter is done properly, though the menu extends well beyond that staple. You'll find battered sausages and chicken, various pies, and a decent selection of sides like mushy peas and curry sauce if you want to add something extra.

It's the sort of place you slip into after spending a day exploring the Cotswolds, pick up your meal, and either eat it while you continue on or take it back to your accommodation for a quiet evening. There's no pretension here, just straightforward, honest food at reasonable prices with staff who actually know what they're doing. The portions are generous and the service is friendly. If you're looking for that traditional British takeaway experience without any fuss or unnecessary flourishes, you'll find exactly what you want. Being close to Cheltenham town centre and its surroundings makes it a convenient stop whether you're visiting the region or just passing through.
