this was the worst battered sausage & chips & curry sauce i have ever had chips tasted like been cooked in old oil. battered sausage was full of oil and even the batter was falling off and the curry sauce wasn't even warm. take it from me give it a miss must be the worst chippy in the area.

The food from here was absolutely revolting, if your in the area and looking to get fish and chips please do not go here. The food was over cooked the chips were all dry and brown the fish had to of been the worst tasting fish I have ever eaten. And the curry sauce smelt and tasted like it had been sitting there for days and just been heated. To make things worse the manager was very rude and acted as if he didn’t care about anything to do with the food and was just there to earn his money without thinking about what the customer is given to eat. I recommend you go to wonderfrys which is another fish and chip shop within a 5 minute. I went there after I had thrown away the food I got from here and the food was amazing and there were no problems.

Good to see a chip shop with vegan menu! We had battered Richmond sausage, banana blossom "fish " and chips. Check their website for vegan menu , they have more food than in the shop on the board! Food was really nice, we'll go back again when we are in Dorset!

Fast efficient service - a great menu of other fish options from the norm. The fish (Plaice & Haddock) was fresh & tasty with excellent chips.

Great Fish & Chip shop. We use JBs because they have a great vegan menu. Loads of options to choose from. They offer a convenient online ordering service for collection or local delivery. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend them.

Not a good experience - fish in soggy batter that tasted of curry and chips were small bits and not crisp

Went to JBs for the first time this evening. Was just passing and fancied fish and chips. Once we paid we were waiting a little while but the owners were great and gave my little girl a free fruit shoot. We got the food just after but it was worth the wait. I realised that they cooked our order from fresh so there would of been a slight wait.Best take out from a fish and chips shop that I can remember and we will definitely be going back. Thank you!Keep up the good work JBs.P.S - try their curry sauce and chilli mayo. Great sauces.

Fantastic place! Based not too far away in Basingstoke and had a beach day out on the Jurrasic Coast. Decided to pop in driving back home. Tasty fish and chips fried with proper animal fat/beef dripping the way people fried hundreds of years ago when vegetable seed oils did not exist. Would recommend to anyone driving past Poole! Would definitely be coming back as it is hard to find places that still fry in beef tallow. Keep it up guys! Ah and the mushy peas were banging.

Wanted to try out my local fish and chips before i leave bournemouth. I was expecting top tier fish and chips due to the nature of chippys and to the branding "JB" seemed like maybe there was something to be proud of. However I was certainly let down and looked more forward to writing a review than finishing my dinner.First of all my fish, the gentlemen checked with a probe when it was time to come out and i was happy to see that and was certainly pleased at this stage but then once it was done it went straight onto the shelf to straight into my box...Well lets just say my fish was dripping with oil and even left a lovely puddle of oil in the box. Secondly, "Regular" maybe i was given the wrong fish however i was expecting a larger portion of fish and nearny asked if they had got my order wrong this does raises questions on the supplier side things. Thirdly, I eat it and was just upset by the shear oil on it dripping, someone mentioned the batter on the review and i certainly did not think it was amazing. Fish: 2/10.The Chips. Oh my..I suspected there was a five guys approach to the chips or the oil needs a change. I'm starting to think because of the theme of oil in this post it was actually old oil and by the looks of the colour and taste it was old oil. Maybe i am wrong and there's a unique type of oil being used. I am aware chippys like to strengthen the flavour of there oil by re using them and while that's not bad i can in fact say my chips tasted dirty. The size and cut of the chips were certainly not fish and chip style but slightly thicker than french fries. 0/10mushy peas were alright.. 5/10Price for food above: 4/10..cheaper side of things but your better spending it in aldi and making tin and frozen.Overall it was awful. Would certernaly drive to the next fish and chips and never return even as a local. I suggest extra training onoil and showing them exactly what happens if it doesn't rest for long enough. I also suggest trying different cuts of chips and if need be change the make of potato. This was definitely a harsh review but maybe it was a one off on a bad day but not as bad as the bistro gravy.EDIT: I inspected others photos and can confirm my meal looked nothing like any of the photos..Colour or size.

Usually great fish and chips and couldn't fault them however when we have been getting the usually chips and sausage deal (which has now increased in price recently) the chips have not be up to par and really soggy. Such a shame as they used to really crispy and enjoyable.
Got address wrong, maybe possibly my fault, but delivery person made sure to remind me to get it right next time. Thought there would have been some chips, spent more than £20 for two pieces of fish, as a previous chef, know they were not freshly cooked. Food was OK but would not use again.
Christine Campbell
Booked on line and fish and chips were delivered, bag of chips was not sealed so cold and the fish was very thin with thick uncooked batter so sorry won't order again
Nigel Miller
Really nice food, still very hot when it arrived (Delivery). WIll defo use again,
Mark Stockman
Excellent chippy, everything is cooked fresh and not left keeping warmed up for hours, great service and good prices.
