Nestled conveniently on Gaywood Drive, this takeaway spot beautifully bridges the gap between traditional comfort food and a burst of flavor that satisfies every hunger pang.

This fish and chip joint stands out not only for its classic offerings but also for a variety of delectable options, catering to every palate. Start with the renowned cod, haddock, or plaice – each priced at just £8.00 and cooked to perfection with a crisp, flaky batter that crackles delightfully as you bite in. For those who crave a little variation, the seafood basket at £7.00 is a delightful medley offering tastes from the ocean, or you could try the scampi for a satisfying twist. And for lighter bites, the cod bites and fishcake deliver flavor without the heaviness, perfect for a quick snack at £5.50 and £2.50 respectively.

But don't let the name fool you; The Avon Fish Bar offers much more. With mouthwatering kebabs featured prominently on the menu, hungry customers can indulge in a hearty lamb kebab served with the essential original mint sauce, a crowd favorite praised by diners such as Simon Kennish.

What can I say stepped back in after such a long time away. daughter said try this place! Fantastic kebab and service but just to top it off they know the only way to have lamb kebab is with Original mint sauce!!! Honestly best kebab in Newbury!

Can’t go wrong with it lovely food and best kabab burgers in this town I’d do think the only place not one complaint would recommend everyone and there family to try one can’t go wrong for £7 would be blind not to try and add any salad or sauce u like mines with sweet chilly

The food here is pretty good and lots of choice. Not just fish and chips, kebabs too and a selection of chicken. You generally get a large portion and plenty of food with your order. Sometimes the staff can be a bit slow but overall, it's a good place to get food.

Sorted us a large meal for 4 people just before they closed, no issue and even chucked in some extras for free. The geezers behind the counter were lovely and friendly, would definitely come here again

This place is very convenient because it offers standard fish and chip menu plus kebabs. The fish and chips were decent, and so was the donor kebab, but the shish kebab did not feel freshly cooked on the grill as it would be in a "proper" kebab shop. It didn't taste flame grilled and was very small chunks of meat. Plus definitely not proper chilli sauce. Just a warning, but I would recommend the fish and ships though. Very nice.
