Star Fish Bar

Star Fish Bar is a handy little chip shop serving the Bishopsworth corner of south Bristol, catering to the after-school and after-work crowd who want a hot bag of something comforting without much fuss. Alongside the expected Cod and Chips you will find the full chippy line-up of sausages, fishcakes, pies and saveloys, plus the kind of later opening that makes it a reliable shout when the cupboards are bare and nobody fancies cooking. It is squarely a takeaway, so you order, wait for it to be cooked fresh, and carry it home.

The shop sits among the parade of local businesses that keep this residential pocket of the city ticking over, within easy reach of Withywood and Hartcliffe too. It carries a Food Hygiene Rating from the council, and opinions among locals are mixed, so it is worth going in with the expectations of a straightforward, no-frills neighbourhood chippy rather than a destination. For a quick, familiar fried-fish fix close to home, it does the job nicely.
