Mansfield Fish Bar

You're after proper fish and chips, not the sort that's been sitting under heat lamps since lunchtime. Mansfield Fish Bar on Newgate Lane gets it right: golden, crunchy batter that shatters under your teeth, fish that tastes like fish, chips that are actually fluffy inside. It's takeaway only, which means you're eating this still-warm, probably standing in your kitchen or walking back down the street. The sort of no-fuss operation where they've been doing the same thing well for ages, and the locals keep coming back because there's no reason not to.
