“Brockworth Fryer in Court Road gets my vote. They said I could have a free 'chippy tea' if I said that (as they say on Coronation Street)”

“I am a massive fan of Simpsons. They use quality and sustainable ingredients which I think is lost on your average Cheltonian.
My only criticism is that waiting times have got ridiculous if you visit on a Friday or Saturday evening.”

“They spend so much time promoting themselves, it's a wonder they have ANY time for customers at all.
This sort of business is NOT about bigging yourself up, and is open to negative comments.
The fact that other brilliant chippies even eke out an existence, is proof that they are pretty much run of the mill, and I doubt anyone travels that far for their fare.”

“I agree with Chelt_Jim - Charlies is best - but as raidermanuk, its a matter of taste. I wonder what who the LOCALS think is best?”
