Mate, it’s businesses like this that give our country a bad name and the reason why tourists go away thinking British food is boring, tasteless and overpriced. This is clearly a tourist trap, with zero repeat business. This place made me feel embarrassed to be British. Absolutely shocking, and you were generous with your rating. I’d give it a 3/10. Great review as always, mate. Cheers, Gary!

Embarrassing that's what they are serving to people coming to the UK when they want to try traditional british fish and chips.

That is why I never go out to eat on a major holiday. Here in the states there are long waits, reservations not being honored and pre-fixe menus making for a less than great dining experience. Top that off with unhappy patrons and waitstaffs that are usually under siege and it all adds up to eating at home. Rather than eat out on Sunday my wife and I will eat out on Tuesday with friends. Happy Easter though.

Some of the worst fish and chips I've had have been from "award winning" shops, the sort that you queue up for half an hour in a seaside town in summer. I think especially in touristy areas they just give up on quality to get it out the door. My local kills the award winning shops in crispness, portion size and its cheaper but the difference I think is that they rely on return customers vs just being in a busy location.

Well Gary -this time you were on our home turf in Bourton. Well from my experience of Bourton it is very difficult to get anything other than a fairly mundane meal there. Having said that last year we had what we considered to be a very good meal there at -you've guessed it - The Chip Shed. What a difference a different day can make. I think you were being very generous with a score of 4. I would have thought a 2 would be fair in view of so many poor items. As an aside we had a meal last night at The Priory View Restaurant in The Abbey View Hotel in Malvern. Not inexpensive, but a very scenic view , excellent service and probably the best Angus Burger I've ever tasted (sans bun). You should 'give it a go'. Happy Easter!

It looks from my research that The Chip Shed seems part of a small family chain of 3 or 4 stores. And of course when you have chains you start to have compromises, standardisation (which is not ideal for flavour and portions) and often the owner can only really supervise tiny bits. So not surprised it’s much of a sameness. Plus expansion means you need money to pay debt so you start to charge more to recover costs.

I know of the Cotswolds from M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin mystery novels. It is described as charming and peaceful. Then several twisted murders happen. The Cotswold must have changed a lot with tourists swarming all over the town creating parking and other problems. Thank you for a glimpse of what I had only imagined from the books. I hope there are better meals elsewhere in town.

Argh!! My stomping ground when I meet friends. I would've gone to The Cornish Bakery myself. Bourton-on-the-Water would have been a cheap working-class holiday destination for loads of people when it had a railway station. Even now coach loads of OAP's arrive en-masse. I personally don't think that it has managed to throw off those shackles. Despite looking very nice, it is full of cheap and tacky souvenir shops and a lot of poor food offerings. Someone recently described it as "kitsch", which I had to google. Much better in Moreton-in-Marsh and Broadway, in my humble opinion. 4/10 I felt was slightly generous because I would've felt a bit ripped-off with that food 🤨

Before I get to the food...What an absolute gorgeous gem of a town!!! Here I am in smoky old London (I just flew back from Dublin, having spent Easter with family and taking the "red-eye" flight back at 6:30am this morning) and I am so jealous of this scenery, so putting aside the disappointing food, thank you for finding such a place like this for a video - Amazing!!! ♥ Now onto the review - oh dear! OK, let's break this down: - Scampi: I have never seen batter that anemic before! That looked disgusting. I think their batter needs an iron infusion and a course of B12 injections to get rid of that level of anemia. Now without claiming to be an expert; which I am not, I do know my fish and seafood. For the price you paid, there is no way on earth the scampi was made from langoustine; if it were, it would have been at least double the price! Most cheap scampi is made from whitebait. I would not mind betting this scampi was shop bought from frozen and just battered, albeit very badly battered! - The pie: I am not really a pie person, but I know without question there needs to be some sort of gravy or liquor inside to keep it moist. What on earth was that!?! I would not even give to a dog! - The Fish and Chips: Firstly, thank you for ordering and reviewing Cod as I think you prefer Haddock, but Cod is my personal favourite. The Cod itself looked OK; it was not worth praising too highly, but was not the worst. But here we are again with that anemic batter! So disappointing. "Chips are chips", well, not always! These did look below average with looking anemic (again) and quite soggy and limp. - Sausage: "The sausage was just a sausage". Enough said on that one. Sorry, for the overuse of "anemic" but there was just no colour or "life" to any of that food. What a shame! The only thing you seemed to like was the gravy and I personally would not travel from either London or Dublin just for a pot of gravy! 😝 Seeing how you did not like any of the food, the poor cameraman has a real feast on his hands 🤣. God bless him! ♥ I think a score of 4/10 is about right seeing as the Cod and gravy were OK - ish. Again, thank you for the gorgeous scenery but that fish and chip shop is most definitely on my "absolutely avoid" list! What an absolute disgrace!

I fell sorry for the cameraman. After you have given your opinion on each of the food items he has to now somehow eat the food knowing it is not up to par. Of course he may have his own opinion on the taste. Anyhow a hungry cameraman may not complain about being fed. So sorry the food was not up to your expectations. Part of the problem may be that the shop was too busy to keep up with the demands and did not do a proper job of cooking. P.S. At least twice a year you should take your cameraman out for a nice delicious wholesome dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Award winning my arris...did they present themselves with their own "homemade turdpile" award? Being domiciled near Whitby, my reaction to that cackamalla you bravely chowed and reviewed was a simple 2 out of 10. Absolutely everything was below par. Man cannot live by gravy and a few flakes of fish alone in exchange for £28, Gary. Bourton on the Water is beautiful but permanently busy. We took the caravan to a site in the Cotswolds last year in July, went to Bourton on the Water and even managed to get parked. Found a good cafe on one of the quieter back streets. The main drag has too many overpriced catering establishments pandering to a certain demographic. You need a medal for visiting at Easter and choosing Fish and Chips, an Easter tradition. As a nod to your recent Whitby visit, I heard there was a 2 hour wait for a table at Trenchers in Whitby on Good Friday and over a 1 hour wait for the takeaway at Trenchers. We had to wait over 1 hour and 15 minutes for a telephone order at a local chippy in Pickering on Good Friday.

Oh Dear Gary. What a disappointment alright amidst the wonderful environs of Bourton on the Water. Assuming there was much business given the crowds about the place I wonder if the establishment may have been overwhelmed by the Bank Holiday rush . The Cod looks reasonably lovely albeit possibly savaged by a shark on the way to your take-out box. Quality of preparation seemingly doubtful but the sausage itself didn't offer much either. Given the number of markdowns, one wonders how their award came about. Hopefully your next port of call will be much more memorable for all the right reasons. Easter joys and blessings cometh your way my friend!!!
