Riverside Fish & Chips

Sitting right beside the River Eden as it winds through Appleby-in-Westmorland, Riverside Fish & Chips is the town's traditional chippy, serving up classic British fare a long way from the coast. The headline act is a freshly fried Cod and Chips, the fish wrapped in a crisp golden batter and piled high with chips, but the menu stretches well beyond it to wraps, baguettes, savoury pies and even a Fish and Chicken Curry for those wanting something with a bit more warmth.

It is a straightforward, good-value takeaway popular with both locals and walkers passing through the Eden Valley. Reviews are reasonably mixed, with the shop currently rated around 3.5/5 from roughly 46 Google reviews, though fans single out the generous portions, friendly counter staff and that reliably crisp batter. With a recent food hygiene inspection behind it, it remains a handy spot to grab a hot, no-nonsense supper by the river.
