The staff person was very friendly and served us quickly. On a Wednesday afternoon, it wasn't very crowded at all - maybe two customers in the shop at a time. The location is somewhat tucked away on a walking path, so might be trickier for fine for first time visitors. We ordered fried haggis and a fried sausage, both of which were generously portioned and deliciously (thickly) fried, complete with a spattering of salt and vinegar.

To be fair, I am a tourist from the US, and so my opinion on fish and chips carries a bit less…read morelegitimacy than a true Brit's. 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.

Best Fish & Chips in Cumbria UK This popular, multi award…read morewinning, Fish & Chip Cafe-Restaurant is a total surprise to find, in Shap, a small village in Cumbria. Quality fish & chips, home made fish cakes, local Cumberland sausage, their own smoked food - halloumi fritters, haddock and Smokey Joe sausages. We found the dishes we ordered were all excellent, the service could not be faulted, the table layout was good, and we were made to feel comfortable and welcome. The location of Shap Chippy is in the heart of Shap village, which is on the coast to coast route, on the A6 between Penrith and Kendal and just off the junction 39 of the M6. For the five of us we all enjoyed a wonderful dinner at this restaurant, all agreed will return.
