Quick info
About Fish Stop
On Cricklade Road, Fish Stop is a fish and chips takeaway in Swindon run for walk-in orders at the counter, with no seating on site. The kitchen cooks to order, turning out classic sides alongside the cod and chips that many regulars come for, with fishcakes, battered sausage and curry sauce rounding out the menu. The owners work behind the counter themselves, taking orders and handing food over directly. Diners travel from a few miles away to pick up their meals, and the spot draws steady custom from beyond the immediate street.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the cod and chips, praising the lovely batter, cooked fresh to order, and good portions. One compares it to the best they have had, and another drives 5 miles to eat here. Fluffy chips and a nice curry sauce get a mention, and fishcakes are called lovely by one diner. Several describe the shop as clean and well priced, with friendly, helpful owners, and one regular calls the father and son behind the counter sweet and genuine. Another says every Friday is fish Friday in their household. The one critical account comes from a first-time visitor who found the battered sausage overcooked and the batter on the fish needing longer in the fryer, though they put it down to a possible off day and still called the staff lovely. Other reviewers describe quick service and food that was spot on, and one notes that a large cod arrived as a medium, which they took in good humour.
