The batter is crisp all the way round and the chips are thick with lots of potato. It is not too greasy like many fish lots are and you do not get that soggy batter on the bottom of the fish. It is the same price as all the other chip shops in the area.

That said, Old Smithy's just served up a plate of the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. The fish tasted very fresh, offering a vibrant flavor that was severely lacking from some of the battered fish I've had in London. The batter was simple, but fried perfectly. The chips were freshly cut and -- just as the batter was -- fried just right. Hell, even the mayonnaise and tartar sauce (served in packets) were delicious; I could actually taste the egg in the mayonnaise. I often forget that mayonnaise, before becoming the bastardized mayo that pervades US markets, was originally a French sauce. As silly as it sounds, the mayonnaise packets here jogged my memory. I wholly believe that the quality of the fish and chips is a reflection of the local mindset here in Ambleside, where very little seems to be outsourced. Other than freshness, there was nothing else really noteworthy about the food, and yet it's that beautiful simplicity that made it so delicious. And at £6 for a large plate? It was almost unbelievable.

Ended up here on Easter Monday evening, and unfortunately, the restaurant was closed so we did take away. The ladies behind the counter were amazing! Warm, friendly, hilarious, and tolerant, and the cooks in the back were also eager to join in! It was so much fun just putting our order together! We ate it overlooking the bay, and it was AMAZING ! The portions were fantastic ( trust me, the 'small' is more than enough!) It's one of the highlights of our trip, and we would do it again in a heartbeat! Thanks!!!!
