6-28-26 Some couple-friends of ours decided to start a dinner club, and this was our choice for our first gathering. I was looking forward to it, as this has been on my list of places to go, and we haven't been here before. There were supposed to be 10 of us be we ended up being 8 this night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had reservations, and had the lovely little private room in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (The whole restaurant seems just to seat about 20 or so.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is fun & a nod to all things Britsh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had 7 scotch eggs for the table. They were served cut in half with a mustard hollandaise, and we re scrumptious. Around the table, we had a variety of beers nda cocktails. I asked the server to pair me a white to go with my fish & chips, and asked for anything except Moscato. They sent a sauvignon blanc that was perfect. My friend next to be had a bloody Mary that was definitely Instagram worthy (see pics). The menu is fairly extensive, but most of us ordered either the fish & chops or the steak & Guinness pie (like a shepherd's pie). For pricing, the scotch eggs are $14.95 ea.; the fish & chips was $29, and the steak & Guinness pie was $30, so I would classify this as "upscale pub." Everything was tasty and a #yum #ReviewsByRL read more

Food was amazing! Large portions enough for lunch the next day. Put my fish and chips in my air fryer and they were still delicious. Great place! read more

My friend and I went there for a late lunch yesterday. We were greeted by one of the co-owners who sat us at the table. She was very friendly and charming. The other co-owner/chef came to our table and introduced himself and recommended appetizers and entrees. We each had a cocktails that were amazing. Our appetizer was delicious and we had the fish and chips for our entree. The fish and chips were the best I've ever had! Our desert was a fried Mars bar. It was absolutely heavenly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall vibe of the place was welcoming and the service was impeccable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for great food, service and ambiance, this is definitely a place to consider. Thank you for such an excellent dining experience! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Once you enter, you will smell the most delicious food from the kitchen. Made me hungry just walking in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chic and elegant decor all around the corners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amanda the staff member was so kind and friendly. She helped us with the menu and questions. All the food we got was delicious and packed with flavors. The burger meat was juicy and tender. Fried potatoes were seasoned well. Love their tea. The aroma is so relaxing. They sold the tea leaves and other products too. Parking in the front. Very convenient. A good place for afternoon tea and dinner. read more

Glad I made reservation for 6:45pm dinner on Valentine Day because this place was packed. When we arrived we were taken to our table right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant had such amazing British vibes with tea sets decoration in the walls and corners, a lot of British posters and arts, was amazing vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu had few of British style bites and sandwiches, but there was an extensive list of teas and coffees. We started with the delicious beef Wellington bites. Crispy outer layer and soft meat inside. For entree we got Banger burger and Birmingham cheesesteak. Both were sooo good. The bread was toasted but soft. The steak was so juicy mixed with caramelized onions and cheese. It would give the Philly cheesesteak a good competition. At the we had the vanilla ice cream that was also creamy and super tasty. Loved the lavender lemonade as well. Our server Amanda was incredible. Her provided an amazing friendly service. All other staff members were very nice too, taking empty plates out of our tables whenever they were walking by. The dishes came out within short time. Despite being British, prices were decent for the items. They also gave free refills for the lemonade. Overall loved the dinner experience. Made the V-day so much better for us. read more

We stopped at Cheeky Bastards one night before Revival, and to my surprise, it was a hit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was extremely happy that it wasn't busy because we got to sit in the cutest tea room environment and even ask a bunch of questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers and co-owner were such a joy and as friendly as possible. We had a great time, and I will be back for repeat business when I'm in the area. I am also considering one of their afternoon teas--I'm sure it will be fun. I ordered the fish sandwich and was pleased. I had to cut it in half to eat it, and it was the perfect size. The fish was flaky, and the tartar sauce was amazing. I added a little bit of vinegar, and that sandwich was on and poppin'--it was a little food party in my mouth! The French fries were good as well. Overall, 10/10, and I will be back. Thank you to everyone who works here for showing us a great time. Check it out, because I will be back. read more

Delicious, delightful loved the decor. Friendly and informative. We will visit again!

Found Cheeky Bastards for late lunch on a Saturday. With a name like Cheeky Bastards and description of British Pub/Tea House we had to stop by. The owner came out and spoke with us. An American who had lived in United Kingdom so he knew and appreciated food influences. The fish and chips recipe took him 4 months to get the recipe from a celebrated 150 yr old fish shop. We believe him. Best fish we'd ever eaten. Malt vinegar is a must. The Notty Ham sandwich was an excellent riff on a club sandwich with an addition of caramelized onion and jam. The Scottish ale was fresh and creamy. Husband really appreciated the ale. We took scones and clotted cream home and enjoyed them the next day. The restaurant offers crumpets, English teas and condiments. There is a lovely little bar area slightly segregated from dining which looked inviting. Cheeky Bastards is located in a small strip area in the Geist area of Hamilton County. Parking is available in front and the restaurant is easily accessible. Servers and owners were friendly and offered recommendations. I can't wait to try High Tea in the future! read more

We went for afternoon tea on Mothers'a day. Normally they are closed Sundays except for Mother's Day. I had the buckingham chai tea and it was so flavorful. I would go back just for that. The tea has a set menu. We received 4 small crustless sandwiches.an Irish tea bread, a blueberry mini Bundt, a small strawberry shortcake and a cookie .and a couple of other pieces of deliciousness that I can't remember. The food was very good. Service was excellent. Our server was actually the owner. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated with a British theme and the ladies room ceiling and wall are decorated with pink roses. Very fun. My only complaint and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is there is no deviation on the food. I personally do not like egg salad nor does my daughter but they wouldn't change it when she called and asked if they could sub something or make two of something instead. Maybe offer the same sandwiches but let people pick how many of each??? Anyway, very good. The food was excellent and the tea was divine. Their regular menu looked interesting so I will try that next. But I will be back for afternoon tea soon. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint English restaurant with amazing decor and friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the fish sandwich and fries.

If You Think You Know Fish & Chips... Think Again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stepped inside and instantly felt like we had crossed the Atlantic into a modern English pub, it had it all, warm lighting, dark wood, a hint of character in every corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We slid into our seats, ordered drinks, and opened the menu. One glance was all it took, and we laughed because we both knew exactly what we came for: fish and chips. When the plates arrived, we just looked at each other in shock. Wow. Massive portions, beautifully plated. This wasn't bar food. This was art. The batter was perfection: crisp and golden, but not that thick, greasy armor other places hide fish in. You could actually taste the fish was fresh, flaky, and tender. And the chips? Hand-cut, perfectly seasoned, with just the right bite. It didn't take long before we were fully silent, the universal sign of a great meal, and then suddenly... there was nothing left on the plate but crumbs and happiness. We had the chance to chat with one of the owners and meet the chef. They told stories of British expats traveling across town because they heard this place had the real deal, that authentic comfort done right. After one bite, we knew exactly why people keep coming back. This isn't just a meal. It's an experience you keep thinking about days later... and craving weeks after. For years, my gold standard for fish and chips was Kona Jack's. But now? I've found a rival, different, but every bit as incredible. I'm already planning my next trip, and I know my friend won't hesitate to join me. If you're anywhere near Geist on Indy's east side or even if you're not, do yourself a favor: go to Cheeky Bastards. Bring your appetite. Bring a friend. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return. read more

Had a wonderful first experience at Cheeky Bastards! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friend had a reservation, and we arrived early. We were seated at a table, and the waitress showed me the Audrey Hepburn space. I was totally in awe. The hostess then offered to move us into that space, and of course we said yes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone on staff was incredibly friendly, and we even got to chat with Hope, the co-owner, who was amazing. I originally ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop, but it wasn't quite for me, so I switched to the Strawberry Cocktail. It was delicious! I also tried the Banger Burger, which came out fresh and hot. Overall, such a great experience, and I can't wait to come back for their tea time! read more

We had such a wonderful experience. From the greeting at the door to our wonderful table service it was all great. The choice in tea makes it hard to pick just one. We were very impressed with the choices of sandwiches and pastry. A few months ago we had a Tea Service in Chicago that wasn't half as good as this. The cucumber dill and the egg salad I think were my two favorite sandwiches. The strawberry cookie and the carmel brownie were my two favorite pastries. I got a lemon verbena tea that was really good. We may be back for a special occasion. This visit was just because it was something new to do. Totally recommend if you like tea and a bit of culture. Afternoon tea was started in the UK in 1840 by Anna the seventh Duchess of Bedford. The Queen would get peckish between lunch and dinner. It wasn't till the mid 1880s where it became a wide spread affair. In the home finger sandwiches are typically cut into triangles. In hotel settings they are cut into rectangles. Never stir your tea, move the spoon front to back to incorporate milk or sugar. read more

Why have I heard people say British food is boring? It's a lie! We recently went to Cheeky Bastards for a birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! The service, the food, the cocktails, were all top notch! Between the five of us, we sampled a majority of the items on the menu. The fish and chips were delicious, having such a uniquely light and crunchy batter. We also loved the scotch eggs, sausage roll, steak and Guinness pie, and well....everything! And who would've thought mushy peas would be so good? Not me. You'd be hard pressed not to find something on the menu that isn't delicious. And...sticky toffee pudding, where have you been all my life? If it's available when you're there, get it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's just a great place with good people and great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try it! read more

Well out of town, my friend and I had to visit this cute pub based on name alone! We got inside it was extremely British and all of the things we could've possibly wanted!

This was my first time at a British-themed restaurant. We were met at the door by part-owner Hope. She was very friendly, warm, and welcoming! She treated us like family from the start. She told us a bit about the business and her business partner, Robert. Once seated, she went over items we should try. She visited with us for about ten minutes, explaining menu items and sharing stories about her and the business. It was refreshing to feel like family with a stranger! To start, we ordered the Scottish Eggs, which were delicious. For entrees, we had the fish and chips and Guinness Steak pie! Neither disappointed, and they were fresh, hot, and flavorful. During our meal, the other business owner and Chef Robert visited with us. He told us a bit about himself and told us he only fries in Beef Tallow. For those that don't know, this is phenomenal and very healthy! This is what McDonald's used to fry in the 70's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was delicious, and the dining experience was one of the best we had in Indy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please support this gem of an establishment! I'm not aware of any other authentic English restaurants in Indy. Thank you, Robert, Hope, and our server, Amanda, for a great experience! read more

After seeing a post about this quaint little place me and my girlfriends decided to try it. Why we waited so long is the question. The service was top tier! The food was delicious. We did try the fried cheese and the beef Wellington bites. The little puff pastry was delicious. We all tried the fish and chips! The amount of food that we received we all had to get to go containers. I couldn't leave without getting dessert. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items oh and the lemon tea! read more

I have been wanting to check this place out for awhile and finally had the chance to do so when I had time off. Inside is awesome I love the decorations, and just in general English decor.

Can't wait to go back and have more delicious food. Check them out if you are in the area. read more

First time eating here and it was AMAZING! The service was top notch. EVERYONE in the establishment was friendly, fun, and down to earth. It was such a great time. We had: Peach Bellini- they were tasty. Sausage Roll- it was good, but the sausage to pastry ratio was a little off. Needed more sausage. Bacon Avocado & Egg Bagel- absolutely delicious. The avocado was fresh. Perfectly done breakfast sandwich. Kids Cheeky Breakfast- the kids said this was so good. My son said it was the best toast he has ever had. Fish and Chips- absolutely loved this. The husband said it was delicious and he would definitely go back to have it again. Thanks to the restaurant for the hospitality! My 4-year ild daughter said their bathroom was the coolest. It was nice and clean . Go check them out! read more

I decided to try this place because it had such good reviews, but a lot of things played into making this just an average experience at best. First of all, the food was fine. It was good. Not great, not impressive, but good. Definitely nothing bad about it. No complaints about the taste. I started off with the Scotch Egg, which is kind of hard to find around here. It was very good- cooked perfectly. I'd call it the star of the meal to be honest. The mustard it was served with was good, but I tend to prefer a little bit of hot sauce on my scotch eggs. What was surprising was the price- $12.95 for ONE egg! As good as it was, it wasn't worth $13 for one egg. Price alone would prevent me from buying this again. I had fish and chips for my dinner. It was a basic fish and chips meal, and there was nothing that stood out about it in any way. Would I eat it again? Sure! Could I tell it apart from any other fish and chips I've had? Not really. It was just a middle of the road, good fish and chips meal. One slightly large piece of fish- it was nice and flaky, and the batter wasn't too crispy. It wasn't greasy, which is a plus. For $24.95, I think the portion could be slightly larger. The chips (fries) were ok, but I would have preferred them a little more crispy on the outside. At $25 for one piece of fish, I think they could afford some muslin on their lemon wedges so the customer doesn't have to pick seeds out of their meal. Staff was very nice, and quickly answered the few small questions I had. Drink refills could have come a little bit quicker, but overall not too bad. Finally- the seating. Total deal breaker. It was 20 degrees outside, and they seated me right next to the front door... literally less than 3 feet away from it. I could reach over and touch the door. Every customer who entered or left the restaurant sent an arctic blast across my table. What a terribly uncomfortable dining experience... Common sense should tell the management to remove that table for the season. The food was good, but at that price point I expect it to be at least noticeably above average. Seating a customer 3 feet from the main door on a bitterly cold night was ridiculous. I spent $50 for one slightly large piece of fish, fries, one scotch egg, and water. I probably won't return. read more

We stopped in for dinner without reservations but were able to get seated. The staff were friendly, and the coffee offerings looked great. This would be a great spot to grab coffee if you lived nearby. I decided on the fish sandwich, as I had seen photos of the fish and chips and knew the portion size was large. After we ordered the waiter came back and said they were out of the potato bun and asked if I wanted to change our order or just use the hamburger bun. I decided to keep my order and just switch the bun. The sandwich was served with 2 pieces of fried fish with some tartar sauce on top and a cold slice of cheese under the fish. The fries were thick cut and seasoned. The fish was a bit greasy, but was a quality piece of fish. read more

Husband and I just left Cheeky Bastards after coming up for our Anniversary. Had seen the rave reviews and they weren't lying. Fish was the best I've had since being in the U.K. Husband had the bangers and mash and enjoyed it also. Everything is house made and the taste proves it. Service was terrific and the owners stopped by to chat with us. Left with full bellies, and a scone and clotted cream to go! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved all the teacups and decor of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd give them a 20/10 rating. Do yourself a favor and enjoy their true hospitality. We WILL be back. read more

Fun outing To Cheeky Bastards yesterday - a place that has been on my list for a while but is a little out of the way. We made a reservation for 1 on a Saturday, so that we could order off the brunch or lunch menus. Every staff member was so friendly, and it felt like a real family environment with lots of regulars/repeat customers. Ended up going with the Saint Michael, which was akin to a Rueben, and the fish and chips. Both huge lunch portions and very tasty. Also had a Pimm's Cup and was impressed by the expansive drink menu, including dozens of teas and specialty coffee drinks. Next time! I'd like to come back for dinner to try the scotch eggs, which weren't available until 4 PM. Was honestly expecting more of a traditional 'pub' feel, but the atmosphere was fine and the decor was cool. Would be fun to go back for afternoon tea service or to take out of town guests! read more

Pretty cool British themed pub & restaurant. The full Monty breakfast gets you tastes of multiple items : British bacon, Eggs, Cumberland sausage (banger), back bacon, white (mild) or black (more robust) pudding, and bubbles & squeaks. Other great items are the teas and crumpets, eggs Benedict and scones. There truly is something for everyone: from the most conservative American palate to the much more adventurous. We were a large (11) Father's Day party but, even so, service was a bit slow. Servers were very friendly. read more

So glad I finally tried this place! It's very close to where I live, so I pass it all the time. Finally tried it out recently with my husband on a date night. We have been wanting to travel to London for some time now, so this was a great chance to try out some of their food before visiting. We started with the sausage roll (amazing, I wanted another) followed by our main entrees - fish and chips with a side of curry sauce (great tip from another reviewer) and shepherds pie. Man, I could put that curry sauce on everything! The fish was so fresh with a lovely batter and the shepherds pie was packed with hearty lamb. Definitely comfort food! We ended the meal with sticky toffee cheesecake that was also delicious! The hostess and waiter were great and gave us a lot of great info about the place. We will be back for sure! read more

We were in the area and decided to check out cheeky bastards. It had been on my radar for quite some time after seeing a friend post pictures a while back. When we dropped in it was just after lunchtime on a Saturday afternoon. I made a quick reservation on OpenTable, and was glad I had, because they continued to get busier as we Waited just a few minutes for our table. Things I loved: -The women's, I mean Queen's, restroom. It's GORGEOUS with wall to wall roses! -The very attentive service, even while being busy! -The lavender latte was...just, perfect. -They have a great kids menu with a mix of English and American options We will be back, definitely with the reservation again, and probably without our kids the next time. I look forward to trying it for dinner when I can enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine. read more

Best fish sandwich in the city if you get the fish and chips be prepared to split it with somebody

My Englishman of a husband was delighted when he learned that an English restaurant was coming to Indy. Skeptical, but delighted. We had heard they do a great brunch and offered epic roasts night (there's a Sunday roast every week in England at every restaurant). We gathered a group of eight friends (including another friend from England) and made a reservation. Parking was free and easy, with a lot out front. The lighting inside was cheery and we liked the English flag outside welcoming us in. The team behind the front desk were friendly and we noticed the display of scones for takeout. Yum. They brought us back to a private room which was cool and we were greeted by our server Carl. He did an amazing job at walking us through the story behind the owner (who is also the chef) and his adventures through England. He also walked us through the menu, sharing about all of the homemade items and fun facts like how the fries are cooked in beef tallow like they are in England. So cool and delicious. I loved this backstory of the place and it made it even more special. Every restaurant should do that! We wanted to try so many things, so here's what we got: + Wexford Irish creme ale: Delicious + Chips and curry: One of my favorite items at the table + Sausage roll: Chef said he Americanized it a bit but still great + Scotch egg: Pricey but worth it + Fish & chips: Big and flavorful + Steak & kidney pie: Filet and homemade crust + Sticky toffee pudding: Made in house and delicious but also small and pricey Everything was truly AMAZING. You might guess that this place is more of a fun pub since it has a cheeky name and the Brits aren't necessarily known for their food (sorry to my husband's family) but this place is truly a 5-star, delicious meal. We did spend a lot more money than we expected to, but everyone at our table loved every appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink ordered, and everything was made in house, so it truly felt worth it. We can't wait to come back for a roast, event, or brunch soon too. Thanks for bringing the UK spirit to Indiana! read more

When my husband heard a British restaurant had opened up in Indy, he had to go. And I'm not one to turn down the opportunity to try new food! We were there for the first time for dinner. My husband had the Full Monty, and I had the Fish Sandwich. Both divine! I tried a cocktail of sparkling wine topped with Guinness at the suggestion of our server. I was skeptical, but it was delightful. My husband had a couple English Ales. I also had an Irish Red Ale. As we were eating, the owner/chef was making his way around to talk to diners. When he spoke to us and saw what my husband had ordered, he suggested we come in during the weekend for brunch. So we did! We started with Bloody Marys. So flavorful! We also had the British Chips with Onion Gravy. My tastebuds were dancing! Then, my husband and I shared the Full Monty brunch. This dish includes pretty much anything you think might be in a Scottish breakfast. I was especially excited about the Black Pudding. I was introduced to that in Ireland. Everything was incredible! On both visits, the staff was so friendly, and our servers were helpful. When we were there for brunch, the owner/chef came out to the dining area again. He recognized us and welcomed us back. I'm looking forward to our next visit! read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is off the charts! Yes, it's in a strip mall. Yes, it's off busy Fall Creek Road that drivers often mistake for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway---you step inside and forget all of that. The decor is intentional. It is a nod to all things 'across the pond.' It's a modern and fun environment. (Make sure to check out the ladies room). Men-make sure there are no ladies in there! My friend who travels 30+ minutes to this restaurant invited me for a breakfast. I live 3 miles away and had zipped by the place for months. I read the menu (authentic British food-eye roll). I'm a coffee drinker, not tea. I read their reviews--complaints about the wait. (Would this be a breakfast issue?) Let's address reservations first. The space is comfortable and it is not like eating at a food hall. There is hardly any restaurant I would show up on Friday or Saturday without a reservation. This is NO different. You want to have a good experience? Make a reservation or pack your patience and be prepared to wait. High tea is First Sunday of every month--reservations only! 11 and 4 pm. The regular menu is not served! The menu is delightfully British. The owners, Robert and Hope, I loved their energy and passion for their guest's dining experience upon first meeting. I fall hard for independent restaurants and have nothing but love for my new find. read more

I've now been here for tea, and dinner 3 times. I'm very glad I came back after the last dinner. Located in a small strip mall on Fall Creek there is a small lot but the next strip mall up connects and you can walk over on the grass. Went at 6 pm on a Wednesday night and by 6:30 it was packed with reservations. I brought girl friends last time and raved so much about their chips and was super disappointed that mine weren't good so I was worried that with an uptick in business the quality would go down. I got the fish and chips this round and hubs got the special - Guinness and steak pie served over mashed potatoes. Delish. My fish and chips was spectacular and I'd say the best in Indy at this point, since my chips were hot and fresh this time. The pie filling was flavorful and rich. Sooo good. Not a fan of their peas but that's IMO. Great service and friendly staff. Definitely worth making a reservation and return visits to this English gem. Love that it's 4 mins from my house! read more

Go here if you're a fan of traditional English style fish and chips!!! I have been a lot of places and had this dish but who would have known that the best I'd have is right here at home in Indiana. A monstrous piece of fried cod on a bed of wedge style French fries or chips to those who prefer the traditional moniker. Splash on some malt vinegar and a dollop of tartar sauce and it was the perfect bite of flaky delicious fish. The breading wasn't greasy like most places and it was a good ratio of fish to breading. Phenomenal! A must try. I cant not mention the super friendly staff. The waiter, Justin, funny and engaging. You could tell he enjoyed his job. Everyone else was also very pleasant and despite the fact that the restaurant was packed they kept everything running smoothly. Great job folks. I will certainly be back to try more menu items. read more

Cheeky Bastards - Fish and Chips! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

What a delightful experience. We had been meaning to visit this spot for quite some time and finally made it happen with some friends who adore traveling in GB. You'll find a thoughtfully curated menu of English classics ranging from scones and clotted cream to shepherds pie and fish and chips. The restaurant is directly located across the street from Geist Lake. They're known heavily for their brunch menu- think pastries and classic English breakfast with tea but we enjoyed our hearty British dinner. We also learned that they offer classic Sunday Roasts which are very popular (and cozy) in England. I thoroughly enjoyed my hearty and herby lamb Shepherd's Pie topped with cheesy potatoes. We started the meal off with a Scottish egg- which was delicious and I would highly recommend. IMy dinner companions also thoroughly enjoyed their Guinness steak pie (made with filet mignon) and fish and chips. Our server seems to be still finding her way and learning about the food but the other woman working was on it and super engaging. Overall, it was a delightful experience and we look forward to returning for some scone funsies in our future. read more
