Smarts Fish Bar sits on Highworth's high street, a market town positioned on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds.
This is the place to come for proper fish and chips cooked fresh to order—they do cod and haddock, both served with generous portions of chips. It's straightforward, no-fuss food that hits the spot after a day spent walking or exploring the area. You'll find genuine British takeaway here rather than anything trying too hard to be fancy, which is precisely what makes it worth knowing about.
Highworth itself merits a quick look around. The high street has independent shops to browse, and the town's layout and buildings retain its market town character. Given its location, it works well as a practical base if you're planning to visit Fairford or Lechlade, or as a launching point for exploring further into the Cotswolds. The restaurant sits conveniently for anyone moving between different parts of the region, so you can easily fit a meal here into a broader day of sightseeing. It's exactly the kind of place locals rely on, which usually means the food is honest and the welcome genuine. If you want comfort food without fuss, Smarts delivers precisely that.
