The Bridge Studio After 40 wonderful years of serving our community, the fryers are officially retired! Our Fish and chips are freshly prepared from natural products.

We have lovingly renovated our old fish and chip shop into The Bridge Studio—a high-spec, modern studio apartment for Airbnb and short-term stays in Templecombe. Fillets of Cod, lightly battered, and then deep fried in pure vegetable oil at just the right temperature so as not to absorb too much oil, Guaranteed to be free of bones and without skin, Served with a generous portion of golden brown chips to satisfy even the healthiest of appetites. Did You Know
Fish and chips are a wholesome dish and lower in calories than many of their fast food rivals. They have been recommended by doctors for pregnant women and were one of the only foods not to be rationed during the war. Historians even argue that fish and chips helped us to win the Second World War.

🚀 THE REVEAL: Introducing The Bridge Studio! 🚂🛋️
The secret is finally out! As many of you know, after 40 wonderful years of running our local fish and chip shop, we officially retired.

We are so proud to officially introduce: The Bridge Studio ✨
We have lovingly transformed the old shop into a high-spec, modern studio apartment designed for premium comfort and short-term stays right here in Templecombe. While the commercial fryers are officially retired, our warm hospitality remains exactly the same!
Whether you are looking for a unique local staycation or have family and friends visiting the area, The Bridge Studio is ready to welcome you.

Over the last few weeks we have been completely overwhelmed by the kindness shown to us. The messages, cards, visits, and generous gifts have made our final days more special than we ever imagined.
Seeing familiar faces we hadn’t seen for years, people coming back just to say goodbye, and hearing how much the shop has meant to so many of you has truly touched our hearts. It has made us feel incredibly appreciated and much loved.
One moment that especially moved us was Lyn Howcut visiting — knowing it was her parents originally set up the shop about 42 years ago, and that she came in on our very first day and wanted to be here on our last, is something we will never forget.
Thank you all for making our final weeks so busy, so joyful, and so full of warmth. After 38 years, we couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful send-off.
With our heartfelt thanks,
Wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Xmas and a Great New Year

We’ve been so touched by all the lovely messages, cards, and good wishes. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding — it really means a lot to us.
We may be closing the shop, but we’re not going far and will still be around the village, so please do stop and say hello. We’ll miss serving you all, but we leave with many happy memories and very grateful hearts.
With our sincere thanks,
Paul & Marianne
