We had 2 x cod and 1 x large chips between us, with a curry sauce. The chips were a very large portion all of which were scraps not a full chip amongst them. The fish was in a mushy batter and the fish itself was tough. I don’t know when the fish was cooked but it wasn’t for a good few hours before selling it. On the plus side curry sauce was okay but not much too mess up with that though.

Tried to give this review 0! Chips were either hard or greasy, the sausage in batter was not sausage but patty (reconstituted meat) it tasted disgusting and was inedible! Only went to Smarts because the chip shop on Ladygrove was closed. Will NOT make that mistake again - don't waste your money yeuk!

Haven't been in here for a few years because last time I tried it wasn't great. I'm guessing they have a new manager because things were much improved this time, decent chips and fair portion size for the price too. They seemed to be cooking little and often which certainly helps. 4* only because the service wasn't friendly and the shop has really weird, dim lighting which makes it look dingy even though it appeared to be perfectly clean.

Best fish and chip shop in Didcot! Their battered cod is very good size and price, excellent quality. Chips always taste fresh and are always soft and warm! Never hard or cold like you get from other takeaways. Their curry sauce is one of the best I have ever tried. We always come to this shop for our fish and chips and would never go anywhere else. Very friendly and smiley staff!

Smar's is a brilliant chippy - easily one of the best I've been to, ever.After seeing how high Smarts came on Tripadvisor we decided to make it our first chippy experience in Didcot and we're glad we did. It's everything you'd hope for in a chippy - proper sausages, tasty chicken, good gravy and all the extras. And the chips? Amazing. Proper chippy style chips, Just bear in mind they're exceptionally generous with chips - we ordered 'large chips' which usually means a slightly bigger than normal portion. At Smarts they genuinely handed me a bag big enough to hold a small child in. Seriously, absolutely massive - easily enough to feed two adults. Brilliant.

毎週金曜日にはたくさんの人が買いに来る人気店です。注文すると、すぐ横で揚げているチップスと魚を紙で包んでくれます。家が歩いて1分くらいのところなので、帰って早速熱いうちに食べます。衣はサクサク、魚は肉厚でふっくらとしていて美味しい。揚げ物なので当然油はすごいのですが、塩とピネガー、そして少しのマスタードを付けるとさらに美味しい。チップスは買った時にトレイに詰め込まれるので、潰れて蒸気でしんなりしてしまって少し残念でも、全体的にとても満足のフィッシュ&チップスです。また買いに行くと思います。

Went here for Sunday lunch, portions were less than generous so asked for a couple of extra roast potatoes, was charged an additional £4.99 for 1 potato cut into 4 pieces ,I asked for this to be removed from the bill and its was refused ,In retrospective we should have just refused to pay the bill and walked out ,the waitress had an attitude and the manager didn't have the good grace to even come and discuss this with us . Since its recent renovation we were disappointed, but as the old saying goes you can't polish a turd I will not be going back any time soon and would advise others to steer clear of this establishment unless you feel the need to be ripped off?
