All I can do is comment as I find. Pleasant staff, excellent service and delicious fish & chips. Came on here to review and was really surprised to see the negativity.

Very disappointing, the fish was overcooked with mushy greasy batter, the chips were soggy and the cooking oil needs changing

Was aware of some poor reviews . However, we experienced swift and cheerful service. Freshly prepared tasty fish, although batter seemed overcooked. Generous allocation of chips . . . one portion enough for two people.

Really poor quality fish & chips, greasy & fish overcooked. This could genuinely be the worst fish & chips I’ve had, certainly in the last 10 years, it was edible, but that’s the best I can say about it

The chip shop must have fell on bad times as for a portion of chips, you get a kid size. I don't understand why they are trying to save every potato so They can maximise profits. Morton in marsh chip shop is worth the little extra drive. As you get a good reasonable portion of chips.

Just finished a great meal, was worried after seeing some of the reviews but we didn't have any issues. Ordered Fish and Chips, sausage and chips, 1 extra sausage and 2 x Gravy. It come to just under £25 While expensive vs what I'm used to paying back home, the food was great, fish was lovely and the portion sizes were a decent size too. Paid by Card too which is always handy Would visit again.

After reading the reviews for this Chip shop we were reluctant to use it but its the only one in the area. So we thought we would just get some chips and see what all the negative fuss was about! Being completely honest the chips were ok but the portion size was small for £3.40, I'd say there were two potatoes worth of chips at the most. They didn't really taste of anything. The shop seemed empty for a Thursday at 6pm, this speaks volumes. If we stayed in Chipping Norton again we would definitely not use the chip shop. I don't think it's the worst in Britain but just not very good!!

OK so it was 8pm when I sampled this chippie but it was very dissappointing. Firstly the fish was rather dry as if it had been left for too long and the batter was chewy rather than crispy. Secondly the chips were lukewarm and had that back taste that said to me that the oil they had been cooked in was very tired. Thirdly I did not like that they only had one portion size of chips (large) which meant I was served and of course paid for chips I neither wanted nor ate.

Hands down the worst Fish and Chips I have had in the World. The chip portions were meager and the chips were dried up and tasted like they had been cooked in 3 day old oil. The fish was completely dry and had actually shrunk within the batter. The curry sauce was lacking in consistency and flavour. Very friendly Staff. PLEASE NOTE: I was last in England just over two years prior to this visit and their food was much better probably a 7.5/10 Something or someone has changed at this establishment.

Just shocking! Unfortunately this is the only Fish and Chip shop in Chipping Norton. I STRONGLY advise driving out of Chipping Norton to get Fish and Chips, this is what we will be doing in the future. We had 3 X Fish and Chips, and the fish was the WORST we have ever seen. No light, fluffy batter as it should be, the fish literally snapped in half, and was like cardboard. You can tell these guys have no competition, as their standards are woeful. They even hold back on giving a good amount of chips. AVOID!

Don't waste your time! Three occasions I placed an order and all were disappointing. Service skill is absolutely non existent, not even hello from the owner or young staff - even though 5 people standing behind counter and no customers inside. Chap actually walked away from counter when I walked in and said hi. Whispered to the older guy and after minute of wondering round finally came to take order. Very okward. I repeated order three times and still got asked about it again as if no one heard me.... like talking to the wall. Sad that the owner gives this bad example.... Food is horrible - masterpiece to fudge up fish and chips.... Uncooked chips, old onion rings , cold(!) Fish... all my three experiences with this place. Last time I ever came, rather use Bloxham or Banbury which are always friendly and food is never bad!

We had three Fish & Chips and a sausage tonight and the fish was smaller than a child's portion at my local Shop. After removing the batter you can see how little amount of fish there actually was. I spoke with the manager and said there was nothing he could do. I would not recommend, even my son commented that he thought the fish was his battered sausage when unwrapping them, it was that small!!! Worst takeaway I have had in years.

Very poor service. Not from the area and decided to give this place a go, despite some recent bad reviews we thought we’d give it the benefit of the doubt. However the food quality and customer service from the person who I believe was the manager/ owner was abysmal. The manner he spoke to customers and retorted to their enquiries was terrible. Would highly recommend venturing elsewhere for your chippy. And according to reviews, everywhere else in the town does them better anyway.

Chicken mushroom pie, chips and curry sauce. About average for any chip shop in country except for microwaving slightly runny curry sauce in front of the customer is never going to add to their experience. Hence 3* rather than 4*

Last month we had 2 cod and 1 chips between us, this week 4 southern fried chicken and 1 chips. We find 1 portion of chips is plenty for the two of us so suprised to see reviews complaining of small portions. I would like my chips a bit more cooked and crisp but having said that they were tasty and hot, and they cook so much everyone would be waiting longer for crisp chips. Good fish and chicken- will be back soon.

Looked at me like I was mad.All the staff made me feel like an inconvenience.Needless to say the guy then proceeded to put vinegar on a spring roll.Got the chips back home, a soggy mess. A small portion so not much chance of finding any crispy bits.Rather disgusting. Spring roll saturated in oil.It’s a shame there is no other competition as this place served me the worst chips I have had in a long time.

This chippy was advertised at the campsite we were staying at so we thought we would give it a try….and were not disappointed.We got one portion of chips with cod, this fed two of us and didn’t last long at all, we also tried the huge potato wedges and the cheeseburger, both of which were good. The best bit about this chippy they are served in paper, not the horrible polystyrene tubs we get them served in back home.The guys serving were polite and very patient while we decided on what we wanted, we would certainly go back there if we come back to this area.

We are regular customers and this is undoubtedly the best F&C in the area. Fish is not heavily battered and you will never end up hungry with their portions of chips.

Went later than normal lunch so wasn't so packed and sat in the undercover corridoor just outside the giftshop entrance. It was quite cold out in the courtyard and indoors seemed a bit chaotic with lots of staff clearing tables and kids running around. The ordering line blocks the view of the cakes so you need to be in the line to see them, but it moves so slowly and you can't get a good look at everything all at once which made me bounce between decisions a lot. The location of the clean trays didn't make sense and I had to leave my spot in the line to pick one up. Others in the queue didn't mind though so I was able to jump back in, but not before another couple hijacked my empty space to get the till operator to fix their order which had something wrong with it, leaving me standing there a little awkwardly holding an empty tray for a while. With my poor eyesight I couldn't make out the small writing on the menu which was way back behind the till and everything turned out to be quite pricey but that was expected. Ordered a carrot and walnut cake, sausage roll, and a latte. My coffee was excellent, though I had to stand there with a loaded tray waiting for it as it was the slowest moving part of the process with only a single barista and machine. The susage roll was still hot and really tasty, and the cake was fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Food was great. Southern fried chicken fillet burger which tasted better than kfc and bigger portion. Garlic pizza bread is the best I’ve had. Unfortunately the random £16 min spend for delivery just doesn’t work, particularly for a single person. An average meal there is £10 and after that they charge you £2 delivery as well! So if you want something to eat as a single person, particularly single mum, you’re paying £8 more than if you ordered from another local fast food place that doesn’t have a min order/or small one and has no delivery charge for local. Rip off so rarely order there
