Went in restaurant bit around 5ish. Only people in there. It was absolutely freezing, no heating on! Told time to come take orders. Owners' children were there and were little nosiy. The food was good. Went to pay and asked for cash, so had to go and get some from Tesco, which was annoying

It's probably alright if you eat on the spot, but I had just a 10 minute drive home and the cod and chips had gone soft and soggy, although the fish itself was OK. Scampi was more like a white fish croquette with a little bit of scampi in it - not wholetail, which isn't acceptable if you call it "scampi" and charge £9! Calamari was nothing special - just bog standard processed, frozen rings. The owners from Madeira would never eat squid like that I bet! You're literally on the seafront so why not do it properly? It's not like squid is rare or expensive - I want tentacles LOL! A wedge of lemon wouldn't go amiss with everything either, for the cost. Pricey because of the location. Stick to the fish and chips and eat immediately is my recommendation.

Really disappointed with how much this chippy has deteriorated. Small portions, really greasy. I had an eyebrow lash and a hair in my chips, both jet black. My hair is auburn. Will not be returning

We ate in the restaurant bit. Noisy due to extraction fan. Then some toddlers arrived too!

We use the restaurant in the back although that is not always open. The food is quite good and reasonably priced by today's standards.Like a lot of chip shops, they could control part of the cost by reducing the portion of chips which is enormous.

We decided to eat in. Although they were very busy at the front of the shop, we didn't have to wait long before our order was taken by a friendly staff member. Not too long before our meal turned up either-a delicious plate of fish & chips, not greasy, just yummy.

Listed as closing at 9pm closed by 8pm on a Friday !!!!!really!!!!! Best fish and chips in Lee on the Solent but closes far too early on a Fridzy.

Really friendly and helpful staff and really good food. The cod bites are absolutely awesome! ?Parking: There's two pay and display carparks on the other side of the main road and very limited street parking.

Went there this evening and asked if the restaurant section was open. It wasn't but they turned on the lights, sat us down and we had a fantastic meal. The food was superb and the staff just couldn't have been friendlier. This is by far and away the best fish and chip shop in the area.

A real hidden gem. At Smarts they serve a variety of fish dishes and other meals at a fair price.

Spending the day at Lee on Solent as was so sunny and fancied fish and chips sitting on the sea front. Our gluten intolerant daughter said she’d just have a portion of chips as she can’t have the batter. What a surprise to see they had gluten free on the menu, and at virtually the same cost. Had to wait a little longer for it, but well worth it. Portions were enormous and quality was excellent! Some of the best fish and chips we’ve ever had! ?
