Recently moved in to the area and was highly recommended we try the local chippy, many people claiming 'the best in Didcot'. And I have to say, I think I agree! Very fast and friendly service with clear covid precautions in place, and the chips were as good as any I've had before! Will go again!

Awful burger probably the worst I had. Including from some sketchy vans lol. Chips were ok though . Yes it is definitely the correct chippy. Maybe a ply to divert the poor review

This place has really gone down hill, even though cooked to order, we had cod and chips, the batter was heavy and extremely greasy, which then soaked into the fish which gave it a greasy taste. The fish was grey in places, chips were average. Overall has left a heavy, greasy and repetitive taste in our stomachs/mouth. And to top it all off, not the cheapest either!! £ 3.50 for mushy peas, where do they get their prices from???? Definitely won't go there again, Churchills from no on!!!

Ordered Sausage and Chips and an extra portion of chips. I was really dissapointed, because the chips looked and tasted old or yesterday's chips. It really wasn't their normal standard. Most of them very dry and shrivelled. Sorry to say this if you are reading but I don't think I will coming back for quite some time!!!

I haven't been to Smart's for a while, but my daughter said we should support the small trader. So rather than the one on GWP I went to Braenose Road. Glad I did. OK the batter on the fish may not have been quite as crispy, but the rest was great.

Being in the 'vulnerable category' I was unsure how I would manage to obtain the treat of the week. I need not have worried. I phoned the shop on the Broadway Didcot , explaining the potential difficulty as the shop is quite small. No problems - having let them know the time of collection and my order, the F & C were brought out to my car that was parked outside the entrance. Excellent. As usual, the fish and chips are fantastic and a we enjoyed the unexpected treat. The price is very reasonable and portions generous. Well done to everyone. Hope to see you face to face soon.

Best Fish and Chips in Didcot! Fresh and beautifully cooked Haddock to order and scrummy chips every time! Been coming here for 4 years, tried others on odd occasion but always regretted going elsewhere! Family run shop who are lovely 😊 Free parking put the front but this is very limited so we tend to walk over as it's not far. The front door is flat so I believe it's wheelchair friendly however I've not tried it myself to fully comment on it. It's takeaway only so no restaurant or toilets here fyi.

Smarts fish bar have very good fish, well cooked and not too greasy. We buy from them a few times a year and generally enjoy their food. I have given them 4 stars this time, as the chips that came with our fish were rather poorer quality than usual, having many small bits that one would not eat. This is not the normal standard for the chips.

From the outside it doesn't look like much but the faint smell of the cooking oil inside is divine. I have been here for a fish'n'chip supper a few times on a Friday or Saturday night and the chips have always been tasty and fresh. The fish was freshly cooked to order and came in a lovely crispy batter that wasn't soggy. I ordered a kebab meat and chips (elephant leg is round the back so is not visible) and the meat was hot and moist and tasty, served on a bed of chips with my option of garlic mayo & chilli sauce. It's a great chippie, run by a family originally from Madeira who will have a nice chat with you while you wait. If you're reading this then you care about quality, so why not give them a whirl...

Lovely friendly welcome. I had liver and bacon with mash and onion gravy and it was amazing, took me right back to very fond childhood memories. The pub itself is full of character. the landlord was very welcoming and does an amazing job with the beautiful display of hanging baskets which adorn the building. I would highly recommend, we will definitely be making regular visits.

Turned up for Sunday lunch at 12:30 to be told (after we’d paid for our drinks) that the kitchen is small and we wouldn’t be able to have any food for 2 hours (despite the fact there were hardly more than a handful of people before us). We weren’t the only disappointed customers as two other families left without ordering too. For a place that advertises their food so prominently out front (‘Sunday Lunch 12-4’) they really need to get their act together. Waitress sarcastically chirped “bye!” when we walked out. Useless and rude.

Really nice warm individual atmosphere. Food was great and just what we needed before a long day the following. We overnight-ed in room 3 which had everything needed. I Managed to run an international meeting at 0600 so wifi was strong. Breakfast next day was really good and ready when we asked for it. Highly recommend The Fat Fox if you want to dodge the corporate bs and feel like a name not a number.

We decided on Sunday morning to try the Red Lion for lunch, and booked a table for 1330. We arrived and were met by efficient staff who were expecting us and offered us a choice of table. Drinks were ordered from a knowledgeable waiter and arrived quickly, mine being a very well-kept pint from tge local Amwell Springs brewery. We both chose beef from an extremely well thought-out menu which again arrived after only a short wait. The meat was beautifully cooked and presented on a large plate with very well cooked greens, carrots and a freshly-made Yorkshire puddings. Sides of cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes were excellent, probably the best roasties I've had, and the horseradish was similarly delicious. We both cleared our plates and the side dishes. Utterly gorgeous, go and see for yourself.
