The Chippy in Portsmouth

We tried the fish an chips here because it had a high rating... it was a mistake.The chips tasted like they had been cooked in the microwave and the fish batter tasted like it had gone 3 rounds with a washing up liquid bottle... Maybe that also explains the bones that I was picking out of the fish? Fortunately the seagulls loved it...1/5 - Good place to get food for seagulls.The 1 star I am giving this is for the service as the girl in there was friendly.

17/01/22 update - Return visit. Excellent fish & chips served by pleasant staff. Enjoyed on the seafront on a gloriously sunny winter's day40-mile round trip based on previous reviews. Nice chips & plenty of them. Tasty fish however only three stars as the batter was slightly undercooked resulting in all being stuck to the wrapping paper and inedible. Wish I'd had my phone to take a photo.

Great fish and chips love the place

I’m working in Portsmouth for a few weeks and I thought I’d find a chippy and I found this place, I ordered cod and chips and it was really tasty as and the fish was freshly cooked. I will be back 👍🏻👍🏻

4 stars for super nice lovely service and now to a food.Sadly long time ago I discovered that Brits have no taste, and calling average and common food super delicious as long as it's a lot.It's average, chips are as good as in other fish and chips shops, wanna Haddock (folks Haddock after freezing always keeping that fish flavour, cod will only taste with grease - so pray for fresh one, not old and burned), they didn't have, so I go with Cod.And honestly, it is not bad, but it's just average, but a price to size ratio making it a great deal.Average/common thing can have max 3 stars, for price.to size ratio and really lovely nice front lady 4 stars. Well done!

Fresh fish, the best batter I ever tried and nice chips. Extra large cod was gigantic. It was my first time in Portsmouth Historic Dock yard with children and Family. I found the Chippy on google and had a picnic on the beach. Great find

Friendly , great service and battered Fish freshly cooked while you wait.

For just over 7 pounds, I had medium cod and chips. Cooked fresh, when the young lady handed me my two sporks and dinner, I could NOT believe the weight of the fish and chips. It must've been close to a kilo and took half an hour to eat as I watched the sun submerge into the sea over Gosport, espying from a grass seat by the bandstand along the lovely seafront. Bargain! Brilliant!

One of the best fish & chips shops in Southsea. Fish is cooked to oder to perfection and is delicious! The chips are proper! Nice a crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The food is very fearly priced. Finally the staff is always friendly and very helpful, I can tell they care.I can't fault this place. I highly recommend.Keep up the great work. Thanks

Chips tasted fine but cod not great at all sadly. Reviews of this place are generally good so may have been a one off. Will stick to Deep Blue down the road as it's solidly consistent.
