“ The Masala Fish recipe is homemade, something you have to try. High-quality food, best chips within a 10 mins walk to the river ”
“ Love this place! I travel from Chicago/Las Vegas to the Forest of Dean area nearly every year and always look forward to getting fish and chips here. You really can't get fish and chips this good where I'm from. We ordered enough food for 3 people and it was a good price! Also, thank you so much to the staff for taking care of Mr. Haddock every week! Appreciate it!!! ”
“ I always call into this chippy whenever I’m passing through Lydbrook and have always been served with a smile. The people that run this place are lovely and the food has always been top notch. I’d use this chippy more often if i lived a little closer. Cracking little Chip Shop ”
“ Lydbrook's best kept secret. Stunning fish & chips, only discovered as I was working in the area. Look forward to visiting again. ”
“ Food was lovely. We managed to forget a can we'd paid for but that was partly down to us being in a hurry! Very friendly staff, who were willing to very slightly waive their "no dogs" rule to allow our dog to sit just inside the door (it was bucketing down and she was nowhere near the food). Overall, decent village chippy. ”
“ Lovely place, have been a few times prior and honestly have never had a bad experience. Lovely staff, very pleasant. I've never had an issue with the food, above average portion sizes and quite low prices for the area. .always done quickly and have enver had any order mix ups or mistakes, brilliant. ”
“ A very good fish and chip shop in this village. Prices are cheap, certainly compared to our home town and portions are sizable. The batter remained crisp to the end and coated good pieces of fish. The cod was better than the haddock on our visit. Highly recommended. ”
“ We quite literally stumbled across this place, as the pub up road said we could eat this in the pub. What a place it was, staff were super friendly and food was fresh not soggy. A really good crisp fish and chips. We didn't have a straight forward order with everyone ordering different items some with salt and vinegar some not but they absolutely nailed it. If I were to make a suggestion, make your own tartar sauce because your peas and curry sauce were great. Highly recommend ”
