Clopton Catch in Stratford-on-Avon

Best fish and chips and great service very friendly as well, Definitely will come back again and highly recommend it Love it

Bourne Explorers explorer scout unit toured the Stratford Upon Avon chip shops as an hike activity. Our Explorers rated the chips at Clopton Catch the clear best on a 0-10 scale, rating the chips 10 out of 10 for Taste, Crunch, Colour, Texture, Smell and Seasoning (all very structured!). We gave it No1 spot out of 12 shops we visited. We can't do photos unfortunately but we had some very contented scouters.

Recently moved to the area and checked reviews. This meal was certainly the best fish &chips bearing in mind , we have been spoilt with Warwick chip shops. We've heard expensive , but to be honest , well priced for the quality of food. Oh, the chips are to die for and the cheeky Irish curry, a bonus. Couldn't eat it all , but if you read my review, don't change what you delivered tonight. Great meal 😋

We were visiting Stratford for one night and drove down here from the hotel, based on the promising reviews we saw online. The shop itself is extremely clean and well presented and sleek, very unlike a traditional fish and chip shop. The young man at front of house was very professional and helpful and compliments to him. We ordered a burger and jumbo fish and chips, I was pleased with the value for money and they also do nhs discounts which is fabulous. Also didn’t overcharge for condiments unlike other places. The wait wasn’t long, and food was packaged well into nice boxes. All looked great. Unfortunately the jumbo fish was not the size we were expecting, it was quite small and not enough for two kids to share. It was probably an adequate adult portion. It tasted great although not your traditional cod batter and the chips were also not traditional- there was no soggy aspect they were delicious light and crispy. Mushy peas were yummy. My burger on the other hand was not great- very well presented but the meat had very little taste, and it was all quite bland am afraid. So overall a mixed review- I would go back for the chips if I lived close by though! But portion size is a bit of an issue for me..sorry!

Its been about 6 mths since i visited last, when i thought the food was great. Im afraid it has really changed, portion sizes small and the fish had a nasty taste to it. So very disappointed , last time it was good. The chips this time were over cooked as well.

Ordered and paid before a lady in the que, lady was give meal combo before me. Fish was very small. Large amount of salt on fish and chips. Has Clopton Catch changed hands? Quality seems to have slipped.

Excellent service and food was great! Staff were polite and smiley, will be going back 100 percent. Portion size was more than enough.

Well Happy Tuesday !!! . The best Fish and Chips in Stratford Upon Avon. Fantastic customer service and lovely quality produce what more can you want in the Town.!!! Looking forward to next time Already.

Called in at 8.40pm to order food having been recommended we try it out. Very helpful man served me, and here’s where the whole experience went downhill. It’s fantastic that the food is cooked to order, however in the 30 minutes it took for my order to be prepared, I along with other customers witnessed a staff member being bullied and threatened with being fired by the senior (I think) member of staff. I was very uncomfortable about this whole situation and mentioned it, but the man who’s behaviour I also found threatening was not only smug and disrespectful towards me as a customer. Food was lovely but it’s the first and last time I will support this local business due to this one member of staff. What a shame, but first impressions count

We visited Clopton Catch for a Friday night takeaway. When we arrived there were a lot of people waiting for their orders. We ordered 3 x kebabs, 2 x chips and a curry sauce. The young lad behind the till was pleasant. We ordered at 19:15 and proceeded to wait outside. During our wait, we witnessed the lady in charge of distributing the orders shout at both the staff and the customers, especially the young lad behind the till. We felt really sorry for him. It doesn’t look good on the establishment when customers have to witness this. We were called for our order at 19:50 - 35 minutes after ordering which we thought was quite poor considering that the meat for the kebabs was already cooked and only had to be cut from the spit and assembled, the only part of the order which was cooked fresh was the chips. I understand that they probably work in chronological order from when the orders are placed but this can lead to long waiting times. Luckily, we checked our order when we received it and we were missing a box of chips. This was quickly rectified. The food was very nice overall, however the portions are small for the price (our order was £41.40). I also found it unusual that the kebabs were wrapped in paper and not served in a box. Whilst the food was good, the wait time, value for money and attitude of some members of staff has put us off coming back which is shame as we are local.

I work all over the country, stay in hotels on the coast of every part of the UK, when it comes to fish and chips and a battered sausage Clopton Catch is by far the best in the country. I don’t usually eat chips but their chips are the best. I urge any tourist going to Stratford upon Avon to get food from here. It’s very close to the centre and it’s absolutely superb. The fish is cooked to perfection

My partner found this little gem. We had just visited the Butterfly farm and were going to find a chippy in Stratford Centre… Then he chirps up that we’re going for a little walk, I’m glad we did! We waited for our fresh, hot food which took about 10 minutes and it was worth the walk and the wait. The chips were soooo crispy, my partners fish was a generous size and my portion of doner meat was plentiful. The young man that served us was pleasant and he said to come back for more sauce if he hadn’t put enough (never been offered that before) The queue out of the door speaks for itself 🤷‍♀️

Soggy batter, soggy chips, watery mushy peas and none of it hot. High prices for poor offerings. Won't be going there again.

This is the best chippy out there I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed it’s delicious and it’s excellent staff I love it

A group of 9 ordered fish& chips. My order was not complete. The fish is very small. Very poor value for money. Looking at past reviews, this is very common. Overcharging for the fish!!!

We were camping in a nearby village and tried The Clopton Catch on a Sunday night (note it is only open on Sunday if it's a Bank Holiday Weekend). Our meal for 13 was perfect, and everyone said they were the best chips ever. Yes, we had to wait outside. Yes, we had to wait for our order. But I don't care, that just meant we got the freshest food and it was excellent.

Best fish and chips take away i have ever tasted, Was at a fund raising for the Shakespeare hospice and they catered for 50 no problem.. Individually served in special card lard boxes and piping hot. The chips were delicious.

Absolutely fabulous food!! A little gem in the back streets worth a trip to, a clean, quick, and reasonable priced chippy.

Simply the most delicious takeaway fish and chips we have had. The batter on the chips is different, very yummy. Yes the fish is small but so tasty. And the Pieminster Pies too. Can get busy so there may be a wait. I am surprised the ratings for this takeaway is not higher but I guess it is down to portion size and pricing. No complaints here. Would visit again when in the area. Yum!!

Jumbo fish size was a joke, complete rip off. If that's there definition of jumbo, hate to see their version of small....very disappointed as this shop used to be decent.

We visited Clopton Catch during a weekend break from Surrey. It had some good reviews but exceeded our expectations. The fish and chips were both great quality, well-priced and had great portion sizes! Two large chips were more than enough for 6 adults, and not too greasy which was refreshing. They operate a very efficient buzzer system for all orders, preventing crowding inside by asking all customers to wait at the tables outside or in their cars. It is a very speedy, well-organised takeaway service. We visited at around 6pm on a Saturday night. They had sold out of all fish besides Cod and Seabass which was slightly disappointing but the Cod ordered by everyone in my party was delicious! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a takeaway in the area.

Fish is always good quality. Chips can be hit and miss, it's a bit like their customer service... No wonder they ask everyone to wait outside, the language and unprofessional way they talk to each other is outrageous! I feel sorry for the staff that...

Was recommended to try this and decided to take a punt versus a predictable McDonalds. Slightly weird waiting in car with a bleeper but food was freshly cooked to order. Great look and quality packaging/marketing - others could learn from this as our local chippy...

Ordered our food, we were given an electronic device to say when our food would be ready. We’d had a long day and needed food prior to bed and an early flight out the next day. Ordered our cod, steak and kidney pie and chips....

Very very slow, nearly 15 minutes out in the cold for sausage n Batter and chips, pathetic portion size too, last time.

Absolutely gorgeous , clean , tidy and professional topped of with fantastic food and relatively quick service considering it was cooked fresh......... cheap no , good value for money 100% yes.

‘Best chips I’ve ever had!’ Said my daughter.. shortly followed up by us too. Chips are covered in a really tasty seasoning that makes them crispy and crunchy yet still fluffy inside. Fish was cooked to perfection too, was delicious. Chip shop curry sauce, must...

The regular fish was tiny. No waiting inside when it’s cold. Mushy peas in tiny pot but the Irish curry sauce was good. They will suffer when the chip shed opens if it as good as the branch in Warwick

Grievances fourfold in nature. 1) We tried to order over the phone to collect asap at 7:00pm and was told it would take till 8:45 to prep. Decided just to go in and order and walked out with food at 7:30/40 ish. So obviously just...

Wow, where to start. Best chips I've EVER eaten, Vegan chilli and chips, spot on. Falafel burger, work of art. Treat yourself to an extra bag of chips for the weekend, as they're even nicer in the air fryer the day after. A real treat,...

We ordered the Seabass and chips with homemade tartar sauce. The fish was amazing, the batter crispy and the chips were extra coated and delicious. And all for less than £10 each

What a strange place, you get given a device to tell you when your food is ready as you are not allowed to wait inside. The chips were ok but prefer normal and the size of the regular cod makes me wonder how big a...

They subscribe to Uber eats who deliver cold food (literally cold) We will be avoiding both. Ruined birthday thanks.

The best ever cod I have tasted , not greasy , the batter was amazing , I was told it was Scottish cod and omg I loved it . Best fish and chip shop ever , I was asked to sample the chips too they...

The fish and Chips were absolutely fantastic, all boxed up to take away. One of the best we have had. Looked like a well-run and spotlessly clean establishment

On our last visit here we had the unpleasant experience of meeting the owner after one of his staff refused another customer from paying for a £1 item on a card even though this customer had already paid £10 for his main order. The owner...

First time here and I am applaud how the lady serving spoke to the lad serving on the till , I felt genuinely sorry for him, but fair play to him if she had spoke to me like that I would have walked out. Don’t...

I suffer with arfid ( avoid-restrict-food-intake-disorder) its hard enough for me to eat out but what makes it even harder is to be point blank refused to make little changes I.e chips to fries , I offered to pay more I don't want anything for...

Best service a chippy can give absolutely love it and the food is very nice I really recommend this clopton catch chip shop it's the best I've ever seen in a long time

Nip in here at lunchtime for a small lunch. Probably the best chips I’ve ever had. The portion was the right size and full of flavour. Staff extremely pleasant

Amazing chippy, the chippy of your dreams, good staff, good music, good meat and offered vodka with my slush....10 out of 10

Had a takeaway that we collected, not the biggest fish in the world, and usually I never eat the batter finding it too thick and greasy, however I ate all my batter as it was very thin and very crispy, and the chips were delicious...

Amazing. Lightly battered chips, which I thought only existed in Cannock. Choice of 3 curry sauce types. Lovely staff. Nice seats outside. Even let me try the curry sauce types on the chips before choosing. 5* excellent.

Don’t bother if you want succulent jumbo cod and chips. Meal arrived in big box so when we got the meal home we were excited and hungry. Just imagine our disappointment when we saw the small overcooked fish surrounded by a mass of chips. At...

There is no doubt that the quality of the food is good at Clopton Catch however I feel that the service could be improved by cooking some food in advance and not leaving customers with a 10-15 minute wait for food to be cooked. It...

Ordered a chicken curry on Monday night, best thing I’ve tasted. Very nice manager who talked to me about the new shop. Can’t wait till it opens 😋

Our local Fish and Chip shop we love it! The chips are amazing!!! Soft and fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the out. Delish!!!! (Some other takeaways you just get soggy or undercooked chips - Clapton catch get it right every time for us)...

We were on holiday in Stratford on Avon and used the Clopton Catch twice, we had it delivered by Uber eats. The first meal was fine but the second time was awful, the Cornish style pasties had dry meat and the pastry was all broken....

Ordered a regular fish and mushy peas, received an extremely small and very broken fish that was poor in both quality and appearance, if you are going to serve fish like this then as a minimum you should show the customer what you are serving...

Had fish and chips twice from here recently. Best Fish and chips we've ever had both times. On the expensive side, but get what you pay for! Mushy peas are world class as well.

Best take away in Stratford,i mean that,not only tasty fish and chips but kebabs and lots of other choices. Definitely will be back again and again

Have visited here previously and food has been good, last time the jumbo wasn't very jumbo this time it was more like a small eel. My son's jumbo was a lot bigger than my jumbo cod, I took my meal back as i was very...

Make sure you get what you ordered, i ordered lamb meat with chips, got home and had tandoori chicken and chips, couldn’t eat it very disappointed

Spent £22 on what? Never had such bad fish and chips Wish we had gone to Mcdonalds.....and I hate that place! Small fish......yes it was!

We get takeout from here from here every Friday night . They serve the best fish & chips . They have an extensive menu, of pies , different types of wraps and kids meal selection plus three different curry sauce flavours ( our favourite is...

Quite simply the best chippy locally! Organised clean Covid safe with its one in one out policy and electric buzzers to tell you when your order is ready . Oh and the chips!!! Best you’ll get anywhere. Delicious delicious delicious

On a visit from Scotland for seven nights. We visit down this way once a year. We never knew Clapton Catch existed. Four of our seven evening meals were purchased here. Staff are very friendly, the cheesy chips are amazing, and the batter on the...

Discovered this fabulous takeaway whilst on a family holiday. Incredible fish and chips, lovely thin crispy batter with beautiful white flaky fish, not saturated in oil like most chip shop food. Cooked to perfection! Generous portion size too! Would definitely highly recommend Clopton Catch, very...

Our go to takeaway. We travel 16 miles to come here. Check out their menu - really good kebabs, quality pies, proper butchers sausages, etc etc all top quality food. Chips are lightly tossed in batter and are amazing. Personally I think the 1 star...

I visited with my family for some fish and chips definitely some of the best we’ve ever had!! 100% recommended and will definitely be returning

I came in around lunch time and ordered a regular cod and chips and it was one of the best fish and chips I’ve tried the batter was thin and crispy and the fish was cooked perfectly and the outstanding thing is they do what...

My food was amazing and service was amazing but kept getting stared at by the pot wash love the chips

Quite simply the best fish and chips and kebabs I’ve had time and time again. There’s a pretty big margin in quality in my books and if you haven’t tried it out, your missing out.

Ordered a chicken kebab and chips and was seriously Ill with food poisoning avoid at all costs. I emailed them to advise what had happened to me but did not even get a reply.

got order wrong multiple times that i’ve been there, charged us extra for online order but didn’t even order online, order at the shop… got my order went home n have us the wrong one, the staff was very unfriendly and did not look happy...

Was recommended this place by friends and gave them a go...Wow! what an experience. The fish lightly battered and not greasy was fresh, tasty and Hot but the Chips was on another level. We ordered for Four of us and every morsel was eaten. Strongly...

A staggering £5.70 for a bag of chips and some mushy peas. Served by the rudest young man ever. We certainly will not be coming back. I doubt this place will stay open with this attitude towards its customers. To add insult to injury they...

We were excited to try out the Clapton catch as we’d heard good things from friends. Unfortunately the staff were extremely rude, with one woman actually shouting at us for entering the shop whilst another customer was in there. It was very unpleasant and not...

Visited tonight having had a wonderful meal a few months ago and have to agree with the most recent reviews. The batter on the fish was soggy and thin, the fish was tasteless and the chips were soggy and oily, we’ve all had bad tummies...

Firstly - the food is very pleasant, can’t really fault that, however the attitude of the staff is appalling, it’s like they have forgotten that they actually just work in a local chippy and instead work at a Michelin-starred restaurant with Marco Pierre and the...

Staying in Stratford for 4 nights last week we took a local lady's recomendation for this establishment. We have never tasted better We had to queue but the system is brilliant. It was explained by local queuers :) Face coverings and screens made us fee...

Ordered through Uber eats. Order arrived and pie didn’t taste good so looked underneath and horrified to see it was covered in big black mould spots. I called the restaurant and both of the employees that I spoke to over the phone weren’t bothered, no...

Business started well, became complacent and both quality and quantity have suffered as a result. Our meal last night was atrocious and not worth half the price paid, which was £19.85. We are local and definitely will not be going again unless an improvement is...

We picked this place from a list on google maps. It looked clean & modern. We certainly didn’t regret our decision! I personally am not a big lover of a chippy tea but we needed something in a hurry & as my husband loves fish...

We found this fish and chip, plus other offers of course, over six months ago and I said to my wife that they were the best chips I had ever had. Light batter and freshly cooked chip, so tasty. However, in the interim they seemed...

Just had jumbo fish and chips with peas x2 and cost £19.90 if I would have known it was going to be so small I would have gone somewhere els, chips not nice and greasy also peas look like snot it’s that bad that birds...

Have eaten here a few times whilst working in the area, in fact my client recommended it to me. The Chips are very tasty, the fish is usually excellent but on my most recent visit when I got back to my hotel with Jumbo Cod,...

Always difficult to know what portions to order when never ordered at a place before so asked for some idea of fish size. Member of staff not to abliging- anyway don't order small fish and chips. For over £8 the fish was a slither and...

My wife and I ordered fish and chips to eat outside. It was freshly fried skinless fish with crispy batter and lots of amazing chips and a pot of lovely mushy peas. The service was friendly and efficient and we were given a signaller to...

Always excellent fish and chips although the size of the fish can be a bit hit and miss. Well worth waiting for, although if you don't want to queue then you can place your order over the phone before you leave the house.

Visited here while working in the area, it was recommended by my client, the fish and chips are absolutely superb, i had the largest cod they do and the fish was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Only down point was selection of drinks, all the...

There are many good reviews about this place, and being local we decided to try and support local. But every time there is something wrong with the order. The first time all three orders, there was something wrong, second time 1 out 4 was wrong....

I’m sorry but I couldn’t hop on this craze I’m sure it might be okay for some people to waste money on glorified oven chips but not me absolutely ruined our dinner portion size and taste just all so disappointing after hearing such good things...

On collection of the order my wife had a quick look in the carrier as it felt light, walked back to shop and was told its all in the bag. When home realised The four portions of chips were in fact missing. On the phone...

All other chippys need to up the game! It is worth going for the chips alone...they are LUSH but the curry sauce is also unbelievable.

Il start by saying the food is usually good, the chips especially. But every we go we come away frustrated with two things. 1. Even if there is no one there it’s takes 5 people 20 minutes to cook you a fish and chips. If...

We got a takeaway from here as we were staying in nearby travelodge. Was a long queue but well worth the wait. The chips were amazing they had a coating which was divine! The fish was really fresh and tasty and the batter was fairly...

I know this place is first and foremost a Fish and Chip Shop, and what wonderful Fish and Chips Andrew and his team produces, anyone who lives local will tell you the same. But if you are ever passing please try their home made Chicken...

its the second visit for me and the food the tastiest I have eaten for years, we tried the mud pies and the pastry just melted in your mouth the steak was so tender, we will be back for more, we also tried the chicken...

We had 3 small cod and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce. Absolutely stunning! Very light batter on the fish. Staff service was exceptional and could not have been more welcoming and friendly.

We were delighted that a fish and chip shop had opened so bet to us. We visited with high expectations in the first week of opening which may be why the wait was so long. We were given a numbered ticket and after a long...

In a age when too many a Chip Shop gets away with serving soggy mush, the Clopton Catch shows how it you be done. It's professional, super clean, and it's presentation as a business is excellent. No surprise that it's very popular. Oh yeah...the food....

Excellent haddock and chips with peas, tasty not greasy. Nice lady on the till serving, fast and efficient cooking. Would recommend and visit again.

Growing up near an award winning fish and chip shop I never thought I’d find better fish and chips however after 20 + years I have. The menu is extensive the online ordering system is easy to use.

I’d heard great things about this place and when travelling into Stratford the other day I thought I’d give it a try. Well, quite simply the best fish and chips I’ve ever had!. The batter was beautifully light and not greasy, the fish flakes were...

The best fish and chips I've ever had!I don't know what they do to the chips but they are crispy and fluffy and the fish was superb

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time! Crispy chips, tasty pie and fish. Delicious. Highly recommend.

Fantastic chips - fish , pies and kebab all tasty so was the Irish curry sauce and gravy and don’t forget mushy peas - definitely worth a visit - had as family super all enjoyed - empty plates

Chips are always on point (crispy on the outside-fluffy in the middle) and as for the Irish curry sauce... well I have no words to express how I feel it. On this particular occasion I would hands down say it was the best cod and...

Use this place a couple of times a month. This week, had two cod combo meals, one with peas and one with chip shop curry. Both very, very good. Freshly cooked cod and divine chips. Two meals about £13 They've got a very good social...
