Papa's Traditional Fish & Chips

Tucked just back from the seafront in the heart of Weston-super-Mare, Papa's is a much-loved traditional chippy that has been frying for the local crowd for more than three decades. Run by the Papa family, whose Cypriot roots in the fish-and-chip trade stretch back to the 1960s, it has built a loyal following among residents and day-trippers alike. The classics are what people come back for, with golden Cod and Chips and a properly battered Haddock Supper sitting alongside a separate kids' menu and a few vegetarian choices.

Expect freshly cut chips fried to order, a crisp batter and a warm, family-run welcome rather than anything fussy. The shop is rated 4.5/5 from more than 1,140 Tripadvisor reviews, and regulars praise the chips that taste like proper chips and fish cooked fresh while you wait. Whether you grab a parcel to eat down by the beach or settle into the sit-down restaurant, it remains one of the town's enduring seaside chippies.
