The Bath Road Big Fish — Restaurant in Cheltenham

I don’t understand all the good ratings, maybe it was an off day for them, but decided to try this plaice (geddit) instead of another competitor. Regretful decision. If you’re going to charge almost a tenner for a battered cod, make it a good one, don’t serve me some paltry sized fish which looks as if it has been battered within an inch of its life and then left in the warming compartment for a week.

Together with a portion of the best cheesy chips I've eaten, the 'steamed Cod' is a first at a chip shop I've experienced ever! I can assure you it was worth every penny. A healthy alternative to a fried, batter covered piece of Cod. 👍 I went home afterwards feeling pleasantly surprised and also satisfied at having had a healthy fish meal, at a price that's affordable...
