Nosh and Bevvy
Fish and chips fried hard enough that the reviewer uses it to show how crisp fried fish can get.1
Why go
It sits in a strip mall off Burnet Road and reads as a British pub that would pass unnoticed in a small English town, red phone boxes included.1 The Infatuation's Nicolai McCrary scored it 7.7 and puts two things on the order list: the fish and chips, for the crust, and one of the Indian curries the kitchen runs nightly.1 The curries are not a sideline. A British pub with a curry board every night is the actual British pub template, and this one carries it. The rooms are broken into several seating areas and McCrary files it as a neighborhood bar to settle into rather than a destination.1
Order this / avoid
- Order: the fish and chips. The reviewer's framing is that it shows how crispy fried fish can get.1
- Also: one of the Indian curries, which change nightly.1
What locals & experts say
- The Infatuation Austin, Nicolai McCrary, 7.7 out of 10:
Grab an order of fish and chips to see just how crispy fried fish can get, or try one of the many Indian curries offered nightly.
Recorded as a rating, never as an award.1 - Ranked in The Infatuation's Austin fish and chips guide. A listing, recorded as one; no position is claimed because the page does not print one here.1
Good to know
- Hygiene: one reading, and it is fine. Austin Public Health has the kitchen as Nosh & Bevvy English Kitchen & Bar, at 8440 Burnet Rd Ste 100. It scored 90 on 8 January 2026. That is a single inspection, so there is no trajectory to read.2
- Neighbors at the same address. Slick Willie's Family Pool Hall and Common Interest hold separate permits in the same block at 8440 Burnet Rd. Their scores are theirs.2
Verdict
could-visit — A strip-mall British pub with a 7.7 from The Infatuation and two things worth ordering: fried fish with a serious crust, and a curry board that changes nightly. The reviewer's own verdict is that this is a neighborhood bar rather than a destination, and the entry does not argue with him. One clean inspection, 90, and nothing else on the record.
