Traditional fish and chips

 

You can’t come to Weston without indulging in some traditional British fish ‘n’ chips. There are loads of chip shops to choose from, but if you want to take your paper-wrapped meal down to the beach, Winstons is your best bet. You’ll find several varieties of fish, as well as typical side dishes like mushy peas and pickled eggs. There are tables outside with sea views and plenty of indoor seating if you find inclement weather.
