3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Stopped here on my way through town - a nearby diner was too packed so I decided to stop by here. Limited menu, not necessarily a bad thing, centered around fish and chips. Ordered a small order at the counter and grabbed a seat. The place looks new, a little sterile, but with decent touches. Food is either prepared to... More

It’s a small place with minimal seating and it closes early. Menu options are very limited and on top of that, they were out of several things when we were there. Portions were average and the food was was greasy and pricey. Pretty much everything is fried. Except for the things they were out of. I left feeling very hungry... More

The food was so original , plenty of it and wow, what a flavor, I thought we flew across the pond and were eating in Big Britain! Good work on the food. We don't care for the dinning area much, but you can't have everything! Next time we will order to take out. I know it will be fresh and... More

Delicious fish, seafood, and meat pies. My son loves their chicken fingers. Try the mushy peas and the gravy is a must. They also carry several other English products, sodas, candy, crackers. I wish they were open a bit later, and that they weren't closed early in the week. The food is best quality and delicious.

Cute shop. The food is great, its mostly cheap and the service is good. The house soda selection is also very nice. best burger in bennington hands down. By far the cleanest restaurant I've ever been to.

while vacationing in the Bennington area. This time was a little disappointing; fish didn't seem quite as fresh. But, portions are good, albeit sides tend to be small - plenty of "chips" to go along with the fish. Be aware that the place is small and is hot during the summer - open kitchen area and if there is AC,... More

Being an ex-Pat of the UK, I am always looking for good fish and chips. This is the best I have ever had in the US and even better than some in the UK. The batter is crunchy, but melts in your mouth, the fish is fresh, tastes of the ocean and the chips are the correct size - no... More

Bennington is not exactly a Mecca for foodies; in fact, "not getting food poisoning" qualifies as a good night out in this berg. Li'l Britain, however, is the sole, shining exception, a real English chip shop run by an Englishman from Stoke, who even attended England's official fish and chip training course, whatever that is. The completely authentic food is... More

Went in for the fish and chips. Food was authentic but for the quantity of food found it overpriced.

This is a little gem of a reastaurant in downtown Bennington, VT. It is a "Fish & Chip Shoppe" with wonderful seafood - and other foods, too!!! The staff is friendly and very helpful. The place is small, about 9 tables, with interesting pictures and ads on the walls. You must stop there if in the area. Tip: try the... More
