smarts fish and chips in South Oxfordshire

Chips were a mixture of overcooked and undercooked also I detected they use low grade cooking oil which is not typical of a chip shop to use especially in the North. Battered sausage was greasy and soft (undercooked with low grade oil) Kebab meat is a 4 out of 10 and chicken meat is a 3 out of 10. Curry sauce was watered down too when it’s supposed to be thick. For what they charge it’s not worth trying this place at all I highly recommend people go elsewhere for their evening meals

We had a small fish and chips each at 5.30pm this evening costing nearly £20. This was the worst fish and chips we have ever had and a total waste of money. The fish had obviously been there for a while and the batter was soggy in the middle and overcooked and hard at the edges. The chips weren’t much better. Both meals were cold and had to be reheated when we got home, literally 5 mins from the fish shop. Such a shame as it could be a great fish and chips shop and more or less has a monopoly in Wallingford. My recommendation is to go to the van that goes around Wallingford on Wednesday evenings and ends up at the cross Keys. Far superior.

Great food, great prices friendly staff

Really good food, especially the chips. Will definitely be ordering again

2 hours to long and I ordered two large cod and chips I don’t know what has gone wrong this place it was amazing but alas not for fish and chips no more if you want fish and chips it has to be Churchills there a bit more expensive but the wait is not two hours the food is piping hot not luke warm and a large cod and chips is a large cod and chips my chips were a cone portion and the fish wasn’t even a medium it was a small the mushy peas were like water I will use this place as a kebab house now

2 hours to wait is to long food is good but wait time is to long

Twice in a row I’ve had issues with this restaurant. The first time the food was 2 hours late and tonight we are still waiting at 22:10 for food that was ordered at 18:20. Shame because the food is nice but if you are unable to go into the shop I wouldn’t advice ordering a delivery

Good quality as expected from Smarts. The cheesy chips were particularly popular as was the burger.

I placed my order at 19:15 ready for when the children came home from their sports club. It stated that deliver was between 20 and 35 minutes. I was given an estimated delivery time of between 20:15 and 20:35 which was later than expected but it wasn’t too bad. However the food was extremely late and finally arrived at 21:45

Food arrived cold, almost 3 hours after ordering. Inedible and went straight in the bin. Would definitely NOT order again.

Collection order was ready exactly on time. Really good fish and chips for 8 people. All cooked perfectly.

Ordered from the wrong chippy, food turned up, but one of the packs of chips looked liked they had been opened. Were slightly late but no worries.

Kidlington chippy brilliant however for Wallingford my mate waited 2 whole hours for my food . Livid

Not a bad experience. Large portion of chips came quickly on bank holiday evening. Fairly pricey but a satisfactory size portion. See attached menu.

small meals compared to what usually get. nice but large kebab was not even a medium by the size of it.normaly a great meal

food was stone cold and delivery took over 2 hours

Quality of the food and portion size disappointing. + Very greasy.

Over 2hrs to deliver on a Monday night 5 miles away for 3 meals. Never again, don’t bother….they are apparently queuing out the door hence the delay but managed to deliver within 20mins of hitting the “not delivered button”. Food was warm at least?

So bad. Established delivery pre-order of 20-35 mins. 2hrs later the food arrived.

Delivery is a little slower but n a Friday but I always expect that with weekends. It arrived within the time frame they gave me and and the driver was very pleasant. The food was delicious. By far my favourite chippy and my daughter agrees 😊

Absolutely outrageous service tonight 30/07/24 Order placed at 19.09 told 70 minutes turns out I drive there 2 hours later and they have only just put it in a bag to deliver it out Phone line was set to voicemail so couldn't even comtact for an eta Then told I'm a lier by the staff as to how long they told me it would be !!!!!

Overall not a very good experience with smarts this evening, we ordered our food at 7:45 and turned up at 9:05 even tho it said it would be delivered at 8:15 and was barely warm. I ordered a wrap with no salad and it had everything in and my partner ordered cheesy chips which had two bits of fake burger cheesy chucked on top. They are normal brilliant but this has let them down massively

Lovely food. Lovely delivery driver

I have got from here a few times in the past and has been lush. Misses brought tonight for are daughters Birthday and was the worst thing I have ever had. The food was cold, undercooked and felt like leftover from yesterday. Will think twice about going there again. 1 star this time is more than it's worth.

Turned up and it was cold, excuse was just busy

Where do I start.. Food was was hot but that's as good as it gets. Over charged for one and had to double check to get a refund. So be sure to check the receipt!! Then when home to find the food was full of grease dripping out of the kebabs. Large Chips (£5.20) were over cooked and again dripping with grease and the so called large was near enough the same size as the small portion it hardly fed 2 of us..

food was freezing cold! missing cheese from chios and kebabs! they really need to sort it out! was final straw for me this evening! Will not be ordering again!

I rarely throw food away, but tonight, I didn't eat much. The fish was stale. Chips rubbish. On the plus side, mushy peas weren't awful

the food was cold when I had gotten to have it and the curry sauce, steak and kidney pie and the sausages felt like someone's stuck them into a freezer to make them cold, I am not happy as I had spent £21.60 on this to be warm or a little hot but instead I had got it stone cold and to be honest it also have me and my partner really bad stomachs,

Absolutely awful fish and chips. The batter was raw inside and not edible. There was more batter than fish. The chips were dry and hard. Don’t waste your money, go elsewhere as we will do in future. It’s a shame because this use to serve lovely fish and chips. However, I believe the shop has changed hands.

the delivery was late, but the driver did apologize and said they had been very busy. food nice but not very warm.

I feel that there must be new people in as the standard wasn’t the same. Food seems more expensive for a smaller portion.

The fish and chips were satisfactory. However, the mixed kebab didn't offer good value for the money, consisting only few bits of meat. The staff and atmosphere were excellent.

Food was 3 hours late freezing cold. Staff just rude and lied over and over again. Never again, will I use this chippy disgusting

Ordered just after 7 with a delivery time between 7.45-8.05 that came and went multiple times trying to ring the restaurant no answer. Finally after asking just eat to get in contact was revised to 8.50 currently 9.05pm no food. And next to no contact Absolutely not happy

super fast delivery food exceptional will be using them again

I have never had a piece of cod that tasted of so little. very poor

Our food arrived 20 mins late (1 hr, 45 mins after order). Food was luke warm and failed to deliver a second pie and Dr Pepper drink. Poor all round really.

Great delivered piping hot and great portions

food was cold no cheese on the cheese kebab wrap and no cheese on one of the cheese chips! absolutely vile food straight in the bin

wonderful kebabs & chips. yum !

Amazing food, and delivered SO quick. Polite driver, absolutely awesome. Cheers guys!

I ordered two of the same items for my kids but with different salad options as one of my children can stand onions and wanted no salad , both came with onions on now I have food for me my partner and one of our kids and now have to find my son dinner

Delivery was a little late but completely understandable due to all the flooding in area. Food was lovely and still warm. Delivery driver was very polite.

Took almost 2 hours to arrive for what was a relatively small order. The food itself was really good once reheated, so it's a shame the service can't match the quality. Maybe best to head to the shop directly rather than attempt getting it delivered! Shame.

Updated - whilst not the cheapest chippy around, vastly improved since the new management

Good quality food small issue with the order but they fixed without question

they are really good at making kebabs, probably better than the local kebab shops in wallingford, no disrespect to the others of course 🙏

it was more on the cold side than nice and warm

I did not receive my order. I sat here patiently waiting ...as soon as it hit 18:45pm the sign popped up enjoy your meal. This is out rageous. Just Eat just takes orders and takes money...no food! I am not a happy person right now. This is stressful. I have medical disability and stress causes me pain onsets. No thanks to Just Eat Service. I am disappointed with Smart Fish and Chips severely. I feel the drives need to be fined when they don't deliver! Charline Cooper

Delicious mixed kebabs and chicken and sausage.

£12 for cod that had obviously been sat in the heating tray for some time. The cod was really very greasy and the chips were incredibly dry like they'd been sat for a while. Go somewhere else if you can.

Food was freezing cold, chicken wrap chicken was rock solid and over cooked, burger you pretty much had to build yourself, no flavour and chicken burger was overcooked also, not to mention they was also late & forgot my drink. AVOID!

The phone number is wrong on just eat. They didn't let us know it would be late we had to chase it, they hadn't made it till we rang when it was 50 minutes late. The food was average, get the kitchen roll on standby to dab the grease up. The burgers are particularly disappointing. The battered mars bar is tasty but that's a battered mars bar. Apparently they had been super busy on a Tuesday night? The driver didn't even apologise for the delay. Use Churchills instead if you can, much better food.

First and last time ordering delivery. Buying food in shop before has been good and had high hopes for an order that was quickly dashed delay after delay came in. When food finally arrived after them ignoring calls all evening (and don’t try the one in just eat, it’s a dead line) - It was cold. It was chewy. It was disappointing. Along with that, missing the curry sauce ordered as well. Deliveries were clearly just last of the evening food where they just did them all at once with whatever was left

Ordered for delivery, said 55 minutes. Was nearly 2 hrs! Food was cold, and onions rings had gone soggy! Never again!

The overall quality was good but the hot dog was missing onions, ketchup and mustard as advertised so borderline inedible/bland. Service was good.

Customer service was amazing, friendly environment, food fresh and warm. Highly recommend.

Had to find the restaurant twice because missing items on order and had to wait for another delivery driver to come out which I was ok with

Kebab had mayo and no chilli, bought the garlic mayo to go with the chilli, wasn't needed as they messed up the sauce anyway

Great people running the shop, always have a bit of a laugh while collecting my food. The food is exactly what I expect and always hot.

Somewhat a shame their service is poor. The food is a bit hit and miss too. Had a small cod and chips, lots of over cooked small scraps in the chips and the cod was half the size of the batter it came in which was a shame. Be aware, If you order online, the last 2 out of 3 orders we made were not delivered and on the last occasion I had to drive there and ask where my food was after waiting more than 2hours. Eventually they realised their mistake but not before a few heated exchanges which proved we were right. They did refund us 50% of the order without asking which was a good offer on their part. We were not looking for compensation, just a good meal after a bereavement in the family as nobody felt like cooking. Let's hope lessons have been learned and next time is better.

Meal was 30 ,mins late heated up again in oven.if delivered on time I would of rated food higher dispute that I enjoyed the cheese burger generous filling.but reheated chips not nice.sorry smarts.

Food was tasty but Luke warm by the time it arrived - which was 2 and a half hours after I ordered it. If you’re able to collect it might be worth it, but when an advertised 25-35 mins delivery ends up being 150 mins… I’d suggest going somewhere else

A very easy process from ordering to delivery. The delivery was late, however I live in a very awkward place to find and the food was still piping hot. A big thumbs up from me.

It is now 19.55 and I still haven't received my order and it's come up online enjoy your food as if it has been delivered

I ordered & got a stale roll & a sausage but no mustard or onions.never got the other hot dog. Fish& chips were ok .what let down.

I have ordered my food at 17:07 and after being told my food was due between 18:20 and 18:40 it is now 19:13 and my food is yet to be delivered to my home, but the app is saying my food has been delivered. Despite calling the restaurant numerous times there has been no answer and no solution to this issue

Food didnt show up No form of communication Absolutely shocking

This was our second delivery, the first on was absolutely beautiful, tonight there was so much grease the food was all stuck to the paper and the chips were roar!

Food was good but unfortunately cold as it arrived late

Delivery was an hour in a bit late. Couldn't even get a hold of the restaurant when I tried calling. Only text I got was saying that they do apologise but that's going to be delay on my order and then it turn around and said that my food had been delivered when it hadn't been

Delivery driver was so polite and i will be ordering again in the future

The food tasted okay but sadly it was stone cold and soggy.

Excellent food as ever and it arrived 30 minutes early which was a bonus!

There was a strange moment when upon ordering the time was estimated for 19:15, but seconds after ordering it jumped to 19:45? Not sure why this happened but it did mean we were later going out after than planned

There foods outstanding it always so hot and Lovly to eat thank u so much

Good service and friendly staff. Love the food.

Usually very good but the last 2 orders have been very late

2.5 hours and no food, very poor service from just eat and the takeaway as we are unable to make contact with anybody. So that leaves us £22 out of pocket 🤬

Driver was lovely, food was really hot so clearly it wasn’t the driver that delayed the order. Not very impressed since I ordered early to be delivered later. Vendor had plenty of notice when we needed delivery and did not meet the target time. Food tasted good.

Food was great again, delivery was late but appreciate that it is a Friday

Took two hours to deliver and then the order came it was wrong. They bought two fish cakes and a burger and no fish and chips which is what I’d ordered along with the burger and 1 fish cake. They’re not even going to give me the money back. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.

The food was lovely but we were missing one packet of large chips

This place is hoppin! You enter the right door and wait inside or out the door on the left. We ordered the large cod. It could feed a couple people because the cod was HUGE and there were a ton of fries. Sadly they didn’t give out any sauce, but the batter on the cod was incredible. We ate it in the park behind the restaurant. I recommend stopping by if you are visiting or staying in Oxford.

Food is always good here , however today when the food finally got here it wasn’t very hot and the chips were soggy , it was out for delivery for 45 + mins ,

Well its 7pm and the food is still not arrived spent 42 pound on this and no food to show for it

Food was 30 mins late lady on phone was rude food took 1 hr 10 mins to to get to us from when they said it was on its way the only thing that was hot was the curry sauce disappointed

Tried the fish and chips tonight. The large cod was half batter and no fish. The cod roe was dry and half the size. No curry sauce available. Chips ok. Sad as I wanted to support them rather than a chip van that arrives once a week. Unfortunately never again. Worse than the previous owners.

Great food, delivered on time and hot. Some items a little over priced i.e beans over £2 and you only get a third of a normal can size, Large chips & cheese nearly £7 but was no larger than normal. Other than that - great food.

Order took 70 minutes to be delivered. Food was lukewarm by the time it turned up.

First experience of delivery and under new ownership and felt the menu was very extensive and the food was really tasty

35 mins late but was hot and tasty order early if u don't want to be eating at 9pm

Good good as always, tasty and hot. Delivered about 10 minutes earlier than the app had estimated which was great.

Decided to go to this chip shop as the reviews said it was noice. Avoided the chiken due to reviews and cheesy chips seemed like a bad idea due to hair content. That said, the pickled egg was first class. Now, on to the most pressing part. We seemed to upset the highly regimented flow of customers by queuing from the end of the shop with the feet printed on the floor. Apparently this is wrong. There is an unwritten rule only known to Wallingford yocals around this queuing system, and we were duly informed that we don't know Wallingford. Sadly, we must have missed the tourist information board detailing this integral part of public life in Wallingford as, if we had known, we could have avoided the public outcry for us to leave. Food was quite noice. Staff also very nice (if not also irked by the queue disruption). Recommend a visit, queue from right to avoid local fury.

Clearly says on there opening hours for a Sunday 4pm - 8pm but they were closed. This has completely ruined the plan for all our family.

Beautiful Fish and Chips! Perfect service! Couldn't be better!

Great fish and chips, very polite staff.

The wrong food delivered, and the chips are awful! Such a shame, this used to be the best chip shop in the area! This is the last time I’ll bother! Whoever is running this place is a fool

Fast delivery, very fresh and hot food
