When you want proper fish and chips after a day out in the Cotswolds, this takeaway in Shippon delivers exactly that.
They do crispy battered cod or haddock with thick-cut chips, and you can add all the traditional sides – mushy peas, curry sauce, pickled onions, battered sausages – whatever you fancy. It's straightforward and honest food, done well, with no pretensions about it.
Shippon is a small village right at the edge of Abingdon-on-Thames, the historic market town that sits just beyond the main Cotswolds area. This makes Smarts a handy spot whether you're local or visiting. You can grab your meal and take it down to the riverside in Abingdon for a pleasant spot to eat, or head back to wherever you're staying. It's the kind of place that regulars rely on, and visitors appreciate for what it is – reliable, satisfying comfort food that's genuinely good. If you're in the area and fancy something warming and unpretentious, it's worth knowing about.
