Shepton Mallet Takeaways

High Street Evercreech, Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 6HZ

Tucked into the heart of the village of Evercreech, a few miles south-east of Shepton Mallet, Evercreech Plaice is the kind of village chippy that knows its regulars by name, and often by their usual order. It is a small, friendly operation with a reputation for cheerful service and consistently good frying, and locals happily make the trip out for it rather than settle for somewhere closer to home. The menu sticks to traditional fish-and-chip favourites, all kept simple and all done well.

Everything is cooked to order, so a short wait at the counter usually means crisp batter and properly hot chips rather than anything that has been sitting under a lamp. The shop holds a top Food Hygiene Rating, which backs up the tidy, no-nonsense feel of the place, and the usual chip-shop sides are there to round out a teatime order. For anyone living in the southern reaches of the postcode area, it remains a genuinely worthwhile local stop whenever the craving for proper fish and chips strikes.

Whitstone Road, Charlton Crossroads , Shepton Mallet, Somerset, BA4 5PT

Out on the eastern edge of Shepton Mallet, near the Charlton crossroads, Whitstone's has built a loyal following as both a sit-down restaurant and a proper traditional chippy. Frying is done to order, and regulars rave about the freshly battered fish, the chunky chips and the lighter cod bites that disappear fast on a busy evening. It is a licensed spot too, so you can settle in with a drink, and there is a tidy range beyond the fryer for anyone who fancies a change from the classics.

The kitchen leans on quality sourcing, with a Prime Fillet of Cod that comes through crisp rather than greasy, alongside hand-pressed steak burgers and rotisserie chicken for bigger appetites. Sweet tooths are looked after with locally made puddings and award-winning ice cream in flavours that rotate through the year. Rated 4.2 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, it is the kind of dependable family favourite worth the short drive out of the town centre when you want your fish and chips done properly.
