Grimsbury Fish Bar in Cherwell

Moved to this chippy as last one was going downhill. Honestly wish we had moved sooner!! Food is great, crispy meaty fish, good chips not over salted, good gravy. Service is quick and staff are so nice! Always smiley and pleasant :) our new regular!

Best in town! Chips not stuck together like many other chip shops in the local area! Been coming here for years and years! 👍👍

Great Halloumi Burger and chips. Always feel welcome, and love the food. Reasonably priced.

We are a family of 4 from Australia touring the UK and tried both some fish and chips and kebab, chip and salad trays tonight. Food was fresh and great value for the serving sizes and service was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Very helpful friendly staff, delicious fish and chips - good portion size and reasonably priced

This truly is a wonderful eating experience. Fish and Chips at their very best. I heartily recommend this Fish and Chip Shop.

I or my wife book a Chicken Kebab and chips. Very surprised to see that it was all chips very little meat and for £8 it is a shock . It was the first time I have order the kebab . Just check your portion size before you leave . Diappoubting

NO GLUTEN FREE as suggested by Google!

Paid meal for 2 , received one. Not the best fish & chips as we had before. 30 min trying to contact them, they cut off the calls. Will be last time we order.

Great fish and chips all round good food

Always friendly welcome and the staff are brilliant,the food is 11 out of 10,I go there at least once a week,never had a bad meal since I first visited 15 years ago.

Great service from friendly staff and always great food,I have been using this brilliant chippy for 15 years since I moved here in 2008

If we are heading south... or returning we try and grab a snack here... food is excellent and great value also... main chips and a side for a fiver is darn good value in my book!

Great fish and chips , well cooked fish with fluffy batter

Great food, great prices and great service what more could you want!

Decent sausage and chips.Massive portions.

1st time visit today wed,29th, lovely cod and chips , girl who served me also lovely , 😊 single? 🤣

Nice freshly cooked fish, everything was nicely laid out and looked appetising, prices not too bad either. Well worth a visit

First class fish & chip shop George & the staff nothing to much trouble good food at the right price

Great fish and chips and reasonably priced. Fast service.

Best fish and chip shop in Banbury well worth dealing out.

Ordered thru Uber eats really nice food will order again when I am next in Banbury 👍

Awesome Fish and Chips, lovely family run shop with great staff.

Ordered via Uber eat Was delicious. Best piece of Fish I’ve eaten in a long time really fresh

Still the BEST ever chip shop in the world 😍 Unfortunately 100 miles away from me now but will come and visit again some day x

Worth the walk here even though there's one closer!

A fast food service with impeccable food standards for a small business. My brother has been buying food every Saturday for a few years now and the family of the business are beautifully accommodating to his social needs with his Learning Disability and Autism. They are a blessing to the community.

the best wrap I have eaten. I recommend 10 out of 10 😀😀

Love George's. Best Fish and Chips in town!

Award winning fish and chips, great staff

Loved it! The que spoke of its popularity. Ask a gentleman and said, " he came in from the village to buy "only" from this chippie shop

Best take away in Banbury Highly recommended

Lovely fish and great price for the quantity of food

Very Good, freshly cooked food.

Decent fish and chips. Kebabs were better than expected.

Value for money . Huge portions. Great chip shop.

Great chippy, been around for as long as I can remember and has a great reputation around the whole town.

I've been to a few kebab places in Banbury and I wish I'd found this place 2 years ago. The food and service was amazing. Plus 5/5 on food hygiene. The portion size was huge and soo tasty.

This is by far the best chip shop in Banbury. We treat ourselves every weekend to fish and chips from here. Really reasonably priced, especially compared to others, great portions and always fresh and delicious. Would recommend to anyone! Always get large cod and chips and is the best ever. Just thinking about it makes me want chips again! Top marks!

It's always a pleasure to visit here, as personal service is uppermost in their minds, even if you are not sure of just what to get. The fish is of a high quality and really fresh, being so far inland from the coast. The chips are generous in their portions, so we limit our visits these days to maintain a health weight!

A friend went to a fish and chip shop nearby and wasn’t impressed. So I went to one nearby and came across this shop. Food was tasty, batter crispy around the edges and the service was quick. Meal was cheap too for the size of portions

We place an order every Saturday night with George for haddock and chips. Our order is cooked to perfection every time. The batter is nice and crispy, never had a soggy one to date, chips are always freshly cooked. Good value for money and wouldn't go elsewhere. George and his staff are always polite and friendly.

Thought I would try this sh#t shop for a change wish I hadn’t bothered. Chips were horrible fish was soggy it all went in the bin, waste of 4.50 and now I’ve got to find something else to eat.

The Grimsbury fish and chips could be the best in England! Every year when we are visiting the UK we make a pilgrimage to this modest fish and chippy for what I believe is one of the best in the country. Wonderful greaseless fish and a mound of chips augmented by wonderful mushy peas. The owner George is a super host of over 30 yrs, well done

Its got a few seats inside and out on a small patio area.good food plenty of choice .reasonabley priced.pictures of george behind the counter plus menu pics. Also some verses written by georges wife and she wrote them round the walls .its a great place with some of the best fish and chips in banbury.george and his wife are a lovely couple and all the staff are brilliant go and give it a try you will see for yourself what im saying is correct.⛤

Prices good portions big .small cafe inside where you can sit Rest awhile as george cooks your bit Menus there so you can see Choose what you want pay the fee Meal cooked you can choose eat in their Take a fork Eat on your way home As its packed in a box or wrapped up good Or just wait till you get home relax and eat You will find you just cant beat The lovely meal .that was a treat.

Quite simply, the best fish and chips in Banbury by the proverbial country mile. Big portions. Friendly staff.

I travel a lot, and am made up when I can get to this place. ! 5 stars. For the Staff, food. And the Manager. *****

Food was great but I don’t appreciate people touching my food with bare hands and then touching money..

Fish was crispy and well seasoned, but the chips were the star. Perfectly crisp and had so much flavor. Always my go to whenever I fancy a fish and chips.

Had haddock chips and peas Only needed one portion as portions are very good size Freshly cooked to order Staff very pleasant Establishment very clean Staff all clean and tidy Brilliant food for a brilliant affordable price

Excellent. Exactly how battered sausage, chips n curry sauce should be! And a bargain to boot! 10/10

Dropped in here for a quick meal before catching the train north. These were simply the best fish and chips we've had for a good while. Nice crisp chips, not at all soggy, and lovely thin, crisp batter on delicious fish. (BTW we had only one lot of chips with our two piceces of fish and that was more than enough). Add to that very friendly and helpful service. What more could you want?

I’ve lived in various places in the South & the Midlands, and this is, simply, the best fish & chips I’ve ever had. And that includes visits to Whitby, Scarborough, Dartmouth & Padstow.

Fish and chips for dinner today .

Always delicious, fresh chips and friendly staff. We have tried a few others in town but there definitely the best!

Really fantastic Fish & Chips Freshly cooked non greasy well presented Friendly staff Lovely service 10/10

Had a friend come to see us first sunny day we have had for ages wanted to make the most of it so decided to dine elfresco in our garden got table and chairs out and i thought cant be bother to prepare food so got in car and went to our local chippy we call it georges its grimsbury fish bar .wow served in a box fish and chips twice and chicken and chips once all cooked fresh box was full cost £15.50 well worth the money lots of other food on menu pies kebabs sausages etc they have a nice little seating area with a tv in it if you want to eat in or a nice little patio area if you want to sit outside maybe on way back from shopping in town .park in front of shop or small parking area at back of chip shop turn left coming from town by the side of grocery shop .salad bar also available .cold drinks in cabinet not sure if tea and coffee served but im sure if you wanted one george would get one for you staff very cheerful and premises lovely and clean

We came the other day and bought some kebabs. As well as the fact that the food was delicious, the service that was delivered by a young blonde lady with big curly hair was very good, she gave some recommendations and was very polite. Overall excellent takeaway!!

by far best chippy ever,go at least once a week. great choice of food won't get better in Banbury all hot a freshly cooked.

I feel like this fish bar is very nice the food is good asnd the staff are nice and polite. and improvement would be if it look moire inviting from the outside

Best fish and chips in Banbury, friendly staff, food always nice and hot, freshly cooked, simply brilliant. Could do with a delivery service as I have to travel across town to go there, may suggest this to George (the owner) next time I go in.

Hubby and i went shopping couldnt be bothered to go home and cook so he waited in car outside i popped in to get some chicken and fish chips yum yum while waiting for meal to be cooked i looked around there seating area not ever such a lot of tables but its lovely and clean i liked the verses that a very talented lady georges wife george runs the fish and chip shop also does kibabs etc well worth a visit

Went shopping couldnt be bothered to cook when we got home so called into the grimsbury fish bar or georges as we locals call it he is a great guy who will help and advise if you have dietary needs came away with chicken nuggets for me and fish and chips for hubby went down very well with a nice cup of tea once we got home great give it a go good portions at reasonable prices yum yum

Was staying in the country about 10 miles away when we all had a craving for fish and chips.After some...

Good fish and of good quality. The service is very good and it is in a good location. If you...

I am lucky enough to live locally so can use this fish bar whenever I want. I have had fish...

Good food great taste cooked well staff friendly and helpful parking in front and at back few tables inside to...

This is the best chippy in Banbury by far! Amazing Good, great value for money and the staff are always polite and friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

Generous portions and really tasty food. The best I've ever had an easy to see why people come from miles to sample. Value for money and would say there are enough chips for 2 hungry adults in one portion.

Had a lot of app and my husband and i didnt want to go home and cook dinner so we decided to call at georges fish and chip shop on the middleton road and get some fish and chips and curry sauce for my husband and chicken nuggets and chips for me they were cooked fresh while i waited and we took them home sat in the garden and ate them alfrescco great

Found this place via Trip advisor rating. Had fish and chips and they were excellent. No waiting chips were fresh and batter on fish was crispy not soggy. Excellent experience apart from the staff could have done with smiling as on my visit they were quite miserable.

This chip shop is amazing and the quality of the food is 5*.However the service by the girls there is rude, they don't smile and look grumpy, snatch your money from you and slam your change back on the side. This has happened on a few occasions and after the first time wasn't going to say anything. Hopefully the owner reads this and sorts it as its the only thing that lets the place down. The main ones that are rude are, the old lady.... if she smiled I think her face would crack. The young mixed race girl and the girl with blonde hair.

This is the best fish and chip shop ever Fantastic fish and chips we have ever tasted and we have moved here from the coast

We eat from here regularly and always say to one another how delicious it is every time. We would always come here now we've found it. They need to win the best fish and chips this year so they can change the banner to a newer date!

Fresh tasting fish, crunchy batter, and chips that are neither too dry nor too soggy. Plus really friendly staff. What more could you want?

After trying other local places and being disapointed this was a fantastic find. After living near the sea for much of my life it is nice to find such fresh fish this far from the ocean and this far down south. Would definitely go again and will be recommending to our friends.

We probably have a chippy once a month and the quality between the different ones in Banbury can vary considerably... I was aware that the Grimsbury Fish Bar had won 'Best Chippy in Oxfordshire' for 2 years running but I had never tried them out before... I wasn't disappointed... Service was polite and efficient and the Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas were lovely... When you pick up one chip, you don't pick up the whole lot!... Fish was not too greasy and the the batter was crisp... They keep the fish separate from the chips which stops the batter going soggy... I would agree they make the best Fish and Chips in Banbury... and they are not the most expensive either!My only disappointment is nothing to do with the quality of their food, it is the location... Great if you live over the Bridge, but not so great if you don't... Parking is extremely limited and the Middleton Road is shockingly busy at the time you would normaly be getting a Chippy... I will use again in the future, but not every time because of their location...

best fish and chips I have had in along while, efficient and polite staff.very clean environment and fairly easy to park the waiting car outside of theshop.

Best fish and chip shop in Oxfordshire. Also offers a great kebab! Highly recommended with lovely accommodating staff. Thankyou.

This is a long established fish bar, the food is always first class with excellent service. Well worth a visit.

I live on the opposite side of town and when ever we fancy fish and chips I will always make the 30 minute round trip, No matter what you try from fish to pies to kebabs its always piping hot. portions are generous we share 2 portions of chip between 3 of us .

Convenient location near the station. Good sized portions. Nice batter and lots of chips. Worth a visit for a quick take away at a reasonable price

The quality of the cod and the size is amazing, same with the chips and there is a huge amount. My wife and I call there every time we visit Banbury for shopping and always wrap them well knowing we take them home to Brackley. This takeaway has to be tried to be believed, we have been a customer for years, and will continue to be so.

Unless you have a huge Huge appetite only order chips between 2 people. Yep huge portions. The fish (I go for Cod) is wonderful and the curry sauce lovely...Not to hot but spicy enough to make you go ummmm :-) But the Mushy Peas are lush too!

The best fish and chip in Banbury my mum and dad get them every time they come to visit up from GT Yarmouth they love it there

Typical fish and chips takeaway, with some diner options. The meat is not something special, you will find much better kebab downtown Banbury, but the chips are amazing! We live nearby and we often buy chips as sider for our home cook food. Highest quality every time!

Have been getting fish n chips from here since the 1980`s and they are always excellent , I went last week though, and i purchased large fish n chips (a slight increase in price since my last visit) The portion size was fantastic and the fish looked lovely , but on this occasion , the batter was extremely thick and the fish was overcooked and dry, and although it looked lovely , there was not much fish to be honest. I can only presume it had been sitting in the warmer a while . saying that i ate up every scrap of it ! Over the years the fish has got smaller , years ago it was nice n chunky, but nowadays it seems a little thin . I still love their fish n chips and would not go anywhere else, i just hope that the quality is not going to be lost over the years, and the standard will stay high. The staff are always very friendly,and will have a bit of a chit chat with you.

I grabbed a quick large cod and chips as I was in Banbury for the evening : We lived and were regulars until 2003 : but as a regular business visitor to Banbury I do often drop in to Grimsbury Fish Bar where honestly I have had never had a bad meal. They have now added a few tables and I took advantage. Staff : some of whom are still the same as 13 years ago are always friendly and value / quality cannot be faulted. I definitely have not had better F&C in Banbury

Definitely the best chippy in Banbury and no more expensive than anywhere else. The general public obviosuly think so too as they proudly display there awards on the counter for everyone to see.Good quality, good sized portions and friendly people!

Not only the best F&C in the area, they also have an amazing chicken breast. When you order it, the owner's brother always asks if you want the left or the right one. Tell him you want the middle one and joke is on him .I love their chicken kebab in pitta bread.Staff is really nice and the place is always very clean.

This place cooks the best ever fish and chips anywhere. Have had fish and chips in quite a few places but this place has THE BEST. They also cater for the senior citizen smaller portion (at a smaller price). I don't know what they do that makes their fish and chips taste so nice but they have won awards, so it must be great.

Lady serving had very long wavy hair no hat or band so lots ended up in our Chips service slow and u helpful pie stone cold and so many people including the owners children behind the counter slowed the serving down

Dare I say best in the country... Excellent quality and very good value. .. had the lunch tray and for £3 you get sausage or fishcake, loads of chips and gravy/curry or scrumptious mushy peas... do yourself a favour go and enjoy a proper chippy tea!

We travel 11 miles to get our fish and chips from here as they are the best around our area.Fresh and clean and chips aren't greasy like a lot of others locally.

I came here based on the good reviews, as I was travelling back home on the M40 from Bracknell, so took a detour here. I had fish and chips. The fish was good cod loin and was quite thick and meaty, the shape of the fish was thick and meaty on one end and then it sort of tapered off to a pointy tip (see attached photo), the pointy part of the fish had hardly any cod in there and was mostly batter. The batter for me on the cod was a bit too thick and slightly greasy, but did have a good taste. The chips were very good, they were crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the middle, so much so, that they melt in the mouth. At the chip shop there were some free plastic forks, napkins and sauces. I had a Harrisons finest tartare sauce, which tasted exactly like the tartare sauce one would get inside a filet-o-fish from McDonalds. The price was very good value £5 for a large cod and chips. All in all a good meal, I would have given a 5 star rating if the meal wasn't slightly greasy.

we have been getting fish and chips from here for years. now i see they are selling jacket potatoes.

I have been using the Grimsbury Fish Bar for over 10 years and although it is not the closest to me I always travel the extra distance as I have never had a bad meal. Good portions, freshly cooked at a very reasonable price. Voted locally as the best in Banbury for some years it has gained a reputation for excellence.
