Smarts Fish & Chips in South Oxfordshire

Best fish and chips in area. Portion size larger than average.

Best Fish & Chips in Thame! I had a medium portion and it was generous. The potatoes were amazing, the best I had in a while and they gifted me two homemade sauces to try with my order, Garlic & Tartare, which were very nice. Recommended!

Best chips in town 🙏🏻nice staff as well 🥹100% recommend

We previously enjoyed lovely food from Smarts but were really disappointed this time sadly. We ordered a large cod and chips and large sausage. The sausage seemed slightly under cooked and the cod was really dry, chewy and the batter wasn’t crisp at all. They also forgot my home made tartar sauce which I was looking forward to. The only positive was that the chips were lovely, although the portion seemed more like a small-medium.

The best place I've visited in a long time! I love it, it's a very familiar atmosphere and above all the staff is really charming. I was honestly impressed, they definitely deserve 5 stars (they have a free sauce that is delicious, I recommend trying it)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Always excellent fish and chips at Smarts. Lovely friendly service too

Super fish & chips - hard to beat that quality anywhere in the country - thanks for a great meal!

Smarts what has gone wrong a month or so ago I was praising you but this evening I ordered large cod and chips and got what was more like a small cod but charged for large one, cod was like a piece of rubber and tasteless no crispy batter and more bits than chips! Also all of it was cold, So back over the road or elsewhere in future.

Fantastic food and lovely staff, won't get fish and chips anywhere else!

Hate to say this ,only had chips ,but could tell quite early on from smell and then taste, that chips were cooked in old cooking oil ! Disappointed..didn't go back as conculsion was to far away to go back..

Best fish and chips for miles. Fish is perfect and the batter crispy. The lunch time meal deal is a bargain too

Smarts Haddenham very busy and queing out the door, drove to Thame and Smarts there had a much smaller queue and food ready minutes after ordering, all good

Please note that I strive to contribute my utmost effort in delivering high-quality cuisine at affordable prices. On my previous visits to this establishment, I have consistently encountered pleasant customer service and delectable, freshly-prepared dishes. While I typically have a penchant for curry and rice, I was pleasantly surprised by the delectable chips offered at this establishment, prompting me to indulge in them on three separate occasions. As such, I have made the decision to enjoy the fish and chips on my upcoming visit to Ox9.

I would like to mention that the staff at this establishment is quite pleasant and courteous. Additionally, there is paid parking available directly across from the shop. They offer a diverse range of soft drinks and serve the best quality warm fast food with prompt service. My first experience here was quite satisfying, and I am inclined to visit again in the future.

One of the workers kept staring and laughing at me and deliberately put way to much salt on my chips

The best fish and chips in the area. And it has been like that for many years. Family owned business with a long tradition of serving amazing food. Many thanks!

Top notch fresh fish and chips, slightly surly service.

Delicious food, cooked when ordered & very plesent staff,👍

I have never made a negative review on Google as I feel passionate about small business’s and the effect reviews have. However I am absolutely shocked and disgusted by this “food establishment” firstly the level of hygiene I'm sure is illegal I can only imagine the unseen parts. I saw staff members who were in the kitchen dealing with food not washing their hands from cleaning bins and porting things to the back ect. A huge cross contamination from meat to fish to dairy. Hands rubbed on sweaty foreheads then straight into peoples food the list goes on I’m surprised this place hasn’t made anyone seriously ill.

They are one of the nicest chip shop around love the place

Small chippy Which is really busy.. we had a pretty basic order of 3 haddock and chips and got a great portion each.. freshly cooked and hot with good chips..

Friendly staff, generally short waiting times and good food. Get loads of chips and they are not soggy like many places locally. Good sized portions of fish and chips and so much choice of other food too.

Great flavour, great value for money.

Great fish and chips, friendly staff, never have to wait too long. The batter on the fish is lovely and crispy and they are always happy do skinless cod. Easy to park opposite and they take card payments too.

Best Fish & Chips in Thame. There's a reason it has queue outside and the other one doesn't 😂

Poor food. Unfortunately best in the area though. Too thick batter on fish makes it very oily. Chips are oily too, not crisp quite soggy. Seasoning would go a long way before cooking. Im desperate for this place to get better.

We try and have something different, never been disappointed with food or staff. Pukka pies are fresh and fish is very tasty. Highly recommend this establishment

This fish and chip is the best you have down south, I’m a Yorkshire man from the home of good fish and chip’s it as taken several years of living down south before I found a decent chippy, I do have to travel a 40 mile round trip for the privilege of having such good fish and chips and try to make the journey every week, but due to me having a bad accident the other day it might be several weeks before I can visit again so I hope the workers in the chippy read this and understand why I have not been in for their lovely fish and chips and wish them all the best, (lovely people) Love from John.

Our favourite chippy. Lovely, smiley staff, crispy batter (or so my husband assures need), and the fluffiest chips.

Best fish and chip shop in Thame

Best fish and chips Freshly cooked every time

We used to call this the "Good chippy" vs the other but the last two takeaways have been awful! Chips and batter totally stale, we thought it was cos we went mid week but exactly the same Saturday eve. Ended up chucking most of it away and I hate wasting food! We'll be going back to the ladies across the road or Haddenham which are far better.

Ok fish and chips, friendly reception

Ordered 4 lunch time fish and chips. Really good value for money. Very hot and delicious

Worth travelling from miles to visit this shop it's by far the best fish and chips I have ever had good value or money . Too and great portion sizes .

Great tasting fish and chips!!! Definitely the best!!

Very good value for fish and chips, midday lunch.

Great selection of food and at very reasonable prices. Good portion size Thoroughly impressed. It's a bit dated and inside and could do with a refresh but let's be pragmatic - it's a chip shop so we can ignore that and just go and get some great fish and chips from here

The food is really nice and the staff are very helpful

Not very good won't use again rude service chips awful fish about the same half hour wait

Superb. Fast service, nice chips, fish was the star of the show. Good tasty batter, perfectly cooked. Fish tasted as fresh as any chippy on the coast

F&C's are truly expensive now. Nearly 20 quid for 2 medium cod and chips + mushy peas. Still, Smarts do you proud. The fish was great and there were plenty of chips. It was all presented in two boxes. Can't wait for our next visit.

Hand's down best fish and chips in that town. Food was made fast, chip's didn't feel greasy and the fish was delicious. Highly recommended to eat here!!!

The kids meals are excellent value for hungry youngsters and they also get a drink. Service for my visits has always been a reasonable time from order to taking away, but would be dependent what you order and time of day/customer numbers.

Lovely donar kebab. Very fast service

Perfect Friday night fish and chips! 👍

Lovely customer service, fresh food and good price

Large portions. Friendly staff.

Great fish and chips at a great price. Fast service and none of it was greasy. Spot on!

Recently had a takeaway from here and the food is always very good, I highly recommend this firm favourite of mine

Had lunch time fish n chips today as we were visiting Thame. The Chips were so incredible golden chips that I popped back in to thank the lady and gentleman behind the counter they make the best chips ever tasted. Highly recommended.

very good fish and chips 4 stars just for not updating open time i open 11-14 and then again 16-21

Best fish and chips for miles Freshly cooked and fresh delicious light batter

Great portion of fish and chips tasted fantastic its worth the wait and the you will not be disappointed at all for some real fish and chips made with love and passion

Best fish and chips in Thame. Good portions. The chips are well cooked, not soggy like many other places. They have a good lunchtime deal as well.

Very tasty and very good portion sizes. Visiting Thame again, and still as good.

We've been using Smarts for years now and they are hands down, the best fish and chips we've ever eaten.

Great fish and chips at a fair price.

I loved the special lunch meal it comes with small fish and chips even though I think is still quite large portion for myself and was tasty too, haven't try the others but will do next time.

Best Cheese burger I've had in ages. Staff are lovely and friendly.

Fantastic fish and chips and the best I've tasted for a long time. It's been a while since we've visited a chippy but after working hard all day physically we didn't feel like cooking. I have to say the chips at Smarts in Thame were absolutely spot on, not greasy but crisp and delicious. Wouldn't go anywhere else locally as have had a few bad experiences in the past few years when we have had chips.

Perfect fish and chips !! Best I've had

Brilliant service and great food cooked fresh to order and great value .

Looks dated inside but don't let that put you off, great fish and chip shop.

What great value the lunchtime special is. Lovely fish 'n' chips 😋

Good choice of options and tasty food

Good roe and chips. Made a diversion to come here

Fantastic fresh chips, crispy batter and wholesome food. Recommended.

I was told they were good and we were not disappointed.

Really good! Hot, and not at all greasy, love that it now comes inside a box, much nicer and nothing gets crushed👍

Good portions and fayre very enjoyable thank you

Lovely food, always hot, even after driving home and very reasonably priced.

Great. Go there virtually every Friday.

Used to go here for my chips however, recently I have got food poisoning from them. I will be avoiding this place in future. Awful experience

Freshly cooked chips, delicious, and my dog got a little sausage, very kind and she enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!

Lunchtime special fish and chips was great. Cooked fresh, worth a ten minute wait, great value.

Always great fish and chips from this place. Fast service,.

Been lots of times and been happy with my order but recently I have been food poisoned. Which has really put me of chips all together. Not happy at all!

The food at Smarts is fantastic!! Price is great and they always have hot food ready for the collection time. Easily the best chippy in the county.

Good quality food. Nice staff. Reasonable prices.

Excellent food, very friendly and excellent value. We go every Friday night 🙂

It was okay. Only choice to be fair

Great fish freshly cooked while you wait.

Fish and chips including a drink for £5, and it was nice too.

Lovely friendly people really really nice food price is good has a cheaper lunch menu and does offers

Always the chippy I we choose! lovely experience every time! cheap food, amazingly friendly staff and food that tastes great what more could you want

Fantastic fish and chips and very friendly service.

Not good. Everyone goes on about how good this place is but if you've actually been to a good Fish & Chips place then stay clear cos this isn't one. The chips were mediocre, not bad but not fantastic like everyone has made out. Medium Cod was cold and Pie was cold. My other half got a kebab and said it was okay but wouldn't get it again. This Fish & Chips will do if you're in Thame and fancy it as its better than the one across the road but it's really not as amazing as everyone makes out... 🙄

Good portion sizes, good value for money and very tasty food. Nice and fresh. Staff always friendly. Thame's best chippy

Fish was fresh and cooked just right. Chips also very good. Good service too. Plus good location, easy to park

Quality food and service to match. Highly recommended.

Fast service, welcoming staff Recommended
