Nestled in the heart of the community, this fish and chip shop elicits mixed reactions from its patrons. While some rave about the generous portions and expertly cooked fish, others bemoan the rising prices and lackluster service. The quality appears inconsistent, with a few highlighting soggy fish and underwhelming sides such as pea fritters. Despite cash-only transactions being a plus for some, the overall dining experience suffers from a lack of warmth from the staff. Though it remains a popular choice for takeaway, diners seem divided on whether it lives up to its reputation as a local favorite.

What User dislikes about Smithson's Fish Chips:
1 of the few fish and chip shops opened on Sunday! we wanted to take away, but not a massive or 2 price 1 so decided 4 the children's meal deal we have 3 decent size cable fish bites with generous amount of chips only £4.50 that add a small drink! deft good price-performance ratio a young child would not eat in the ply 2 so much, great for oap or smaller appetit!.

Second time we have visited this fish chip shop based on local recommendations. We thought the first time we simply got unlucky with our food order (soggy fish), so, we gave it another go based on reviews. It was a mistake. The person serving was miserable and the food is expensive. Once the food is ready and wrapped you have to then open it again to apply your own salt vingar in front of the counter. This causes heat to escape from your takeaway. The worse part was the fish being really soggy again! Most of the batter was wet stuck to the paper. The fish was inedible. Very disappointing! I wish we had taken a photo. We will not be returning here.

I missed this restaurant so much during the pandemic. I tried a different chip shop that delivered, but it doesn't compare! Now that I am able to drive and collect, I am happy to say that the food is just as delicious as it used to be. Although prices have gone up, the quality is still top-notch. I absolutely love this chip shop.

The fish and chips were easily the best my wife and I have ever eaten (over quite a few years). Very generous fresh cod, perfectly cooked with excellent chips that could not be bettered. The service was very friendly and superb, the staff went out of their way to satisfy us. Just brilliant. By comparisons to the much vaunted Harry Ramsden this was so so much better.
