Five of the best: Fish and chip shops

By Martin Booth  Friday Oct 10, 2014

1) The Magnet

Reopened last year by former property developer Jonathan Farrow more than 20 years since he first opened its doors.

55 Dean Lane, Bedminster

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

2) Bishopston Fish Bar

Recently named by Fry Magazine as one of the top-50 fish and chip shops in the UK. Invariably a queue of hungry hordes.

 264 Gloucester Road, Horfield

3) Crispies

The fish and chip shop where Josh Eggleton, chef-owner of the Michelin-starred Pony & Trap, first cut his culinary teeth.

42 Sandy Park Road, Brislington

4) Stoke Bishop Fish Bar

Sister chippie to Clifton Village Fish Bar, owned by Marco Maestri who first started working at his father’s restaurant at the tender age of eight.

13 Druid Hill, Stoke Bishop

5) Chandos Fish Bar

One of the city’s newest chippies, with a contemporary interior tempting enough to eat your takeaway inside.

4 Chandos Road, Redland
