Tuckers Fish & Chips

Tuckers Fish & Chips is a traditional British chippy in the heart of Wells, run by the Simeone family who first opened in the city back in 1988. More than thirty years on it remains a familiar name for locals after a proper fried-to-order supper, with the usual line-up of battered fish, chips and the rest of the seaside-classic menu. The freshly fried Haddock Supper is the order to reach for, with crisp golden batter and a generous helping of chips alongside.

It is a busy, popular spot, so at peak times there can be a wait while everything is cooked fresh, and it pays to go in expecting a queue when the city is full. As a long-standing independent it offers the kind of straightforward, no-frills takeaway that Wells has relied on for decades, plus a few vegetarian options for those skipping the fish. For a classic chips-and-vinegar fix in the cathedral city, Tuckers is a dependable old-school choice.
