The Best place to go for Fish and Chips, is 'The Kingfisher' in Tewkesbury. Just off the High Street, as you go down towards the mill.
I had Fish and Chips when I went to Boston, Massachusetts. They served it with coleslaw, which worked. The place we went to was called 'No Names' other people in the group had Lobster. Was not too keen on having that.

They've a good reputation but it's a bit expensive. I popped in the Ch"%$^%$£&^m one sometime back. They had a board up saying todays potatoes are.... That seemed a bit over the top.
For me and the other half it's got to be Ruddy's in either Hucclecote or Longlevens. There's always a queue. 2 cod, 1 chips (enough for 2 easily} one mushy peas for my northern roots and a curry sauce 'cos she's a Brummie. Seved in a box so they stay crisp until you get home £16. Excellent and very consistant.
If you seriously want the best fish and chips ever, and are going away to Blyth Spartans, pop into The Harbourside at Seaton Sluice. Take your harpoon. I've had Moby dick there a couple of times.

Ruddy’s is always good, and we used to go to Hucclecote every time, but now the Brockworth fryer is excellent and the portions are ridiculously large. Literally, one chips will feed four of us and we always throw some away!
Also, if you’re feeling super lazy, they deliver as well!

Do they travel over to Tewkesbury Dave? That's the one on the row of shops isn't it? Used to go there when my aunt lived in Brockworth for about 18 months.

Same Borough Council, so they should do!
Yep, on the Court Road parade of shops.

For me Fish and Chips is one of those meals where the idea of it is so much nicer than what you actually get 95% of the time. Its a lottery, get the timing right and the chips have just come out of the fryer and it can be a delight, but more often than not I think you end up with something which is a bit soggy and underwhelming.
I do like Ruddy's though. Our local is the Quedgeley Fryer, and whilst not amazing quality the portion sizes do represent value for money. As for Simpsons I have to agree, been to the C********m one a few times and to be honest can't help but feel its just a standard chippy which has somehow garnered a massive reputation and is significantly overpriced.

I took a portion of pie chips from that Simpsons into Whaddon Road once, having packed in my rucksack a plate, bib, extra salt and vinegar, some cutlery and Tommy K.
