Just outside Abingdon-on-Thames in the village of Shippon, you'll find a straightforward fish and chip shop that does exactly what it sets out to do well.
Spa Fish & Chips serves up freshly fried fish, golden chips, and all the traditional accompaniments you'd want from a proper British takeaway. It's the sort of place where you can grab dinner to take back to where you're staying or eat by the River Thames if you're based in Abingdon itself.
Shippon is a small village, practically on the doorstep of Abingdon, a historic market town worth exploring if you have time. Abingdon has an abbey worth visiting, several museums, and pleasant riverside walks along the Thames. While Shippon isn't a destination in its own right for sightseeing, it's a handy spot to know about when you're in the area. The town sits on the eastern edge of the wider Cotswolds region, making it useful as a stopping point if you're exploring this part of the world. Think of Spa Fish & Chips as a reliable local option for honest, home-style British food when you're passing through or staying nearby. It's the kind of place that satisfies without pretension.
