Southdown Fish Bar

Bath locals have long trusted Southdown Fish Bar for their Friday night fix, and with a solid 4.4/5 from nearly 300 reviews, it's easy to see why. Tucked away in the city's south side, this classic chippy keeps things traditional—crispy batter, fluffy chips, and that essential mushy peas. A Food Hygiene Rating of 5 gives extra peace of mind when you're feeding the family.

The cod here is the star: thick, flaky fillets wrapped in a light, golden batter that stays crunchy all the way home. Their chips are proper chunky cuts, fried to that perfect soft-yet-crisp texture. They also do a mean battered sausage and generous portions of curry sauce for dipping. Whether you're ordering for one or the whole household, Southdown Fish Bar delivers that no-fuss, satisfying fish supper every time. Just add salt and vinegar, and you're golden.
