The Chip Shed - Stratford Upon Avon

You'll find yourself on one of Stratford's busiest pedestrian stretches, where tourists and locals alike queue outside The Chip Shed without irony. There's something refreshingly unpretentious about a chippy that does exactly what it says on the tin—no gastro-nonsense, no ironic decor, just really good fried fish. The portions are genuinely massive, the mushy peas don't taste like liquidised sadness, and they've clearly invested in decent oil because everything comes out golden and light rather than greasy. It's the kind of place you grab before heading back to your hotel, or sneakily eat while wandering towards the theatre.
