We had fish and chips in England but this was better! The portions were perfect, the fish was cooked well and came out piping hot and the coating was crisp. Fries were crispy and the coleslaw was nice. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. We tried the root beer which I really liked as well although some might find it a little sweet.
The place had a lot of British kitsch and although it is a small shop it was clean and the hostess was very pleasant. Food came out quickly too.
We will definitely go back again!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jesse R.Albany, NY11510Apr 27, 2024
Was headed from NY to NH for work and stopped in Bennington for lunch. Searched out some gluten free options and found Lil' Britain. Fish fry was so good! It's hard to find good gluten free batter around the capital district, and I can't wait to get back up to VT for more!

We love getting the fish and chips from Little Britain's. The amount of chips you get is huge. Sometimes we don't even finish them. The crispiness of the fish and the moistness is absolutely wonderful again such a large portion is given. We love the mushy peas. We have to try and make sure we get over there before they run out. It seems to be they run out of them quite a bit. I've also had the bangers in mash. The boyfriend really likes them a lot. I thought they were OK. I still seem to like more the fish and chips.

This is likely my third or fourth visit in the last thirty years since moving over from England. Past visits, and that includes when the shop was owned by ex pat's have been excellent and the food was authentic. Today however the experience was mediocre. The fish was acceptable but the chips were dark and they were not tasteful the way British chips are and the usual way Li'l Britain have presented them. Service is hard to quantify because apart from the assistant behind the counter taking the money, you have to discard your waste in garbage bins (recycle also) in the restaurant and situated near a table with chairs in the front window. Nice! The assistant didn't seem all that happy in her work. There's NO signage so you have to be told that you need to come to the front counter to choose your menu, order AND pay prior to receiving your meal - having just tipped at said counter after payment. I was going to bring my family over later this week to remind them of what we have been missing but I think I'll give it a miss.

Yummy and quick when you call in the order. Kind service! I like the bangers and mash and burgers and fish and chips !! And I like the prices.

I would prefer to eat my food at the table i paid additional cost to enjoy it. Again as i have mentioned in other reviews this has nothing to do with those that service the customers nor the patrons that frequent visit but when you charge a certain amount there are additional cost pushed on the customer for a reason.
The food was done very well, the large portion was defiantly enough food. The chips were not exactly great but they were not bad. The large chicken fingers was plenty. Sooo good The fish was perfectly breaded and flaky. I wish i had the chance to use some HP but maybe when the dining area opens up again.
From the outside window it appears to be a nice fun entreating little dining area. As some of you may know this is not available, its rather a bit confusing as there is two areas to pickup food or is that pay then pickup.... Not sure. Then when trying to pay over the phone i was asked for my credit card number, um haven't done that one before and wasn't going to start. So when i said i was paying cash they wanted to know if i was paying exact or if i needed change. I mention that I would need change but in the end i told them to keep it as i wanted the staff to have something for doing all this extra unnecessary steps that are not required. The majority of the restaurants and shops in Bennington are not performing these kinds of measures anymore except for the Chinese's food restaurant on main.
Closing this little gem in Ben is putting out some great food but at nearly $15 a head its not worth my trouble eating it in my car or on a park bench. Please consider opening the dining area .Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ann Q.Bennington, VT1713Jun 4, 2023

Delicious! The fried fish is my favorite; it always is fresh tasting. They must change their oil frequently.

I like to give a restaurant 5 stars when it is excellent in its niche. Lil' Britain is all about traditional fish and chips, and it delivers! Yummy, fresh, crunchy fish and delicious British-style fries. I'll definitely visit again on my next trip through Bennington.
