This was my first time at a British-themed restaurant. We were met at the door by part-owner Hope. She was very friendly, warm, and welcoming! She treated us like family from the start. She told us a bit about the business and her business partner, Robert. Once seated, she went over items we should try. She visited with us for about ten minutes, explaining menu items and sharing stories about her and the business. It was refreshing to feel like family with a stranger! To start, we ordered the Scottish Eggs, which were delicious. For entrees, we had the fish and chips and Guinness Steak pie! Neither disappointed, and they were fresh, hot, and flavorful. During our meal, the other business owner and Chef Robert visited with us. He told us a bit about himself and told us he only fries in Beef Tallow. For those that don't know, this is phenomenal and very healthy! This is what McDonald's used to fry in the 70's. Everything was delicious, and the dining experience was one of the best we had in Indy! Please support this gem of an establishment! I'm not aware of any other authentic English restaurants in Indy. Thank you, Robert, Hope, and our server, Amanda, for a great experience!

We should have come sooner! What a hidden gem. I had the scotch egg and fish and chips. All was delicious and plenty of food for later. I also tried a strawberry fields adult drink and their hot tea! One of my friends mentioned she does not like tea normally but likes it there and I can see why it's fabulous. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and very clean. The owners were actively working in the restaurant and had lovely personalities and you could tell have a passion for what they do. I do suggest getting reservation for sat night. We did not have one but they did get us in but were very busy.

We came here for our anniversary. Coming from Europe, we can attest the authenticity of the meals. They were, simply put, perfect. Chips fried to perfection, housemade vinaigrette that leaves you satisfied and the tartar sauce.. well, try it. Great portion, sweet staff and chill atmosphere. We walked out under $80 for 2 big starters, 2 entrees and 2 cocktails. Will come back, even though it's a 50 minute drive.

If You Think You Know Fish & Chips… Think Again. We stepped inside and instantly felt like we had crossed the Atlantic into a modern English pub, it had it all, warm lighting, dark wood, a hint of character in every corner. We slid into our seats, ordered drinks, and opened the menu. One glance was all it took, and we laughed because we both knew exactly what we came for: fish and chips. When the plates arrived, we just looked at each other in shock. Wow. Massive portions, beautifully plated. This wasn’t bar food. This was art. The batter was perfection: crisp and golden, but not that thick, greasy armor other places hide fish in. You could actually taste the fish was fresh, flaky, and tender. And the chips? Hand-cut, perfectly seasoned, with just the right bite. It didn’t take long before we were fully silent, the universal sign of a great meal, and then suddenly… there was nothing left on the plate but crumbs and happiness. We had the chance to chat with one of the owners and meet the chef. They told stories of British expats traveling across town because they heard this place had the real deal, that authentic comfort done right. After one bite, we knew exactly why people keep coming back. This isn’t just a meal. It’s an experience you keep thinking about days later… and craving weeks after. For years, my gold standard for fish and chips was Kona Jack’s. But now? I’ve found a rival, different, but every bit as incredible. I’m already planning my next trip, and I know my friend won’t hesitate to join me. If you’re anywhere near Geist on Indy’s east side or even if you’re not, do yourself a favor: go to Cheeky Bastards. Bring your appetite. Bring a friend. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.
