Simpsons Fish And Chips - Stroud

I was appalled about the gentleman with the pony tail ,I brought some chips and sat on bench in high street ,there was a lady selling magazines and the gentleman with pony tail came to collect sign the language and attitude towards the young lady was distuging. I often speak to her and she's just trying to make a living and I won't repeat language used

I arrived just before closing time for lunch and the staff kindly prepared fresh Cod and chips for me. The server was friendly and helpful. The fish was incredibly fresh and flaky, with a delicious thin and crispy batter. The small portion of chips I requested were not greasy and came with a slice of lemon, all neatly packaged in a spacious cardboard box. Although the price of £8.80 was a bit high, the quality of the meal justified it. I have paid more for similar meals that were not as good. Overall, it was great value for money.

Tiny portions, didn’t even fill the box. The Veggie sausage was tiny, but charged a premium. The fish was really greasy and over cooked. Not at all value for money. Spend less on the posh boxes and provide decent size potions. Very disappointed.

Whist the staff were polite and pleasant, the food was very poor and excessively pricey. Tiny portion of chips and what looked like a generic fish portion from a supermarket freezer pack. Worse food was basically cold when we arrived back home some 10 minutes later. Seems to me a classic Stroudie example of style, ie lovely custom boxes, which do not insulate at all, over substance. If you have to have bespoke wrapping why not go for personalised sheets of paper which would insulate better.

The haddock was deliciously fresh and the fries were freshly cooked. Highly recommend if you're searching for fantastic fish and chips.
