About

County Fayre is a legendary Swindon chippy that has seen better days according to many long-time regulars. While some still praise the crispy batter and chunky chips, others lament a decline in quality since the change in ownership. It remains a popular spot, but consistency is the main complaint, with reports of greasy or reheated food popping up frequently.
