Blimey... where to start... chips were like dried cardboard... fish tasted like nothing at all - honestly - nothing... even water has some taste! Cash only... how can a chippy, on an island surrounded by the sea in which fish swim find bits of fish which have no flavour... gobsmacked! If the chef patron really doesn't enjoy cooking why doesn't he just give up?

Really enjoyed our meals from here, we had cod and chips, saveloys and sausage in batters, everything was really tasty and I thought the price was reasonable. The gentleman who served me was very friendly and polite also so I'm very glad to leave a 5* review and will be back in the future :)

I was brought up in bembridge and left when I was 16 years old. Having travelled the world and visited many countries I return regularly and enjoy regals fish and chips when I’m here. Got to say the fish and chips are fantastic, the large chips will serve 2 or 3 adults. And the cod is beautiful…the Chinese guy is always friendly and a familiar face. Highly recommend this fish and chip shop. A credit to bembridge. ?

Is it the best fish and chips I’ve ever had? No… will I be back? Absolutely! The gentleman on the counter seems to do everything by himself and does it all with a smile on his face! Repeats the order back to avoid confusion and had just a generally really lovely demeanour. I love it here.

Disappointingly Average! The large fish was tiny. The batter was raw in places. The chips were refried and stale.The shop is clean and the staff welcoming, but the fact that it takes ONLY CASH is a drag in the 21st century. The fish is fried on request but the batter needs improvement.Fish & Chips are an expensive luxury so I expected a memorable meal.

We visited for lunch with the inlaws. 3x Cod & chips, 1x Haddock & chips. We ordered and then went outside whilst waiting for them to be cooked, as it was a lovely day. We noticed the inlaws had gone in so we followed. 3 portions of our order was already wrapped, mine being the Haddock. I asked if there was any salt and vinegar, the server was quite put out and said that he had already asked & was told no. I explained I was outside when they were wrapped & politely asked if I could unwrap them & add salt & vinegar. He was not happy at all and slammed the couner however, he did put some on. I then said to my partner would he like salt & vinegar, he's said please. As I asked the question, the man went absolutely mad, shouting at us, complaining as as we kept changing our minds. I said that his customer service was bad & he was a very rude man. We had spent just under £40 and his attitude was not acceptable. We did not get the salt & vinegar as we asked. We left the shop & within minutes the man started ranting & raving (we could understand what he was saying as it was in chinese), either banging or throwing things in the shop. It was the most horrendous experience we have ever had. The food was also very greasy and the chips overcooked.

We had a takeaway from here on the first night of our holiday in Bembridge. Didn’t enjoy it at all I had scampi which was a bit overcooked and my husband didn’t enjoy his fish. The chips were very poor too.

The owner has been serving fish and chips here for the last 19 years. You can taste his experience! You will need to have cash as he doesn't take credit cards.

Not very good chips recooked fish tasteless and wasn't local won't be going back in a hurry. Was hot no taste chips hard batter soggy
Always great food even with the high demand, can be a bit of a wait but as expected for summer on the island. Huge sized portion of chips, don’t trust the low reviews
Susan Brooks
Very nice food all freshly cooked but be prepared to wait. We waited over 30 minutes for our order but it was all freshly cooked and tasted delicious ?

Ordered cod and chips and after initially thinking the fish portion was really generous, we were disappointed to find it was all batter with about a fish finger's worth of actual fish. Tasteless chips too. Really disappointing and we won't return.

Weird chinese take away fish and chip shop. Just under £30 for a large cod and chips, a small cod and chips, a pot of mushy peas and a pickled onion. The reviews left me confused so being the only chippy open local to me I thought we'd give it a go. I'm confused as to which reviews are genuine and which ones have never eaten good quality fish and chips. The chips were frozen and what you'd expect to get with your late night post pub kebab. The fish was battered in what can only be described as weird cake batter. Stodgy, greasy and in places not even attached to the fish. I'm sure it was cooked or reheated freshly as it was piping hot but I'm still not sure if it was fresh or yesterday left overs. I'm leaning more towards left overs. The shop was also very confused, only selling fish and chips but decorated like a Chinese take away. Expensive for fish and chips, very very expensive for the quality of fish and chips that was served. Save yourself £20 and buy a box of frozen fish and a bag of oven chips from the co-op across the road.

We had a burger and chips and a hot dog and chips and were served by a very pleasant and polite gentleman. I can honestly say that the chips were the best I ever had '(and I've had a lot) very reasonable price I would even say a little to cheap for the quality of food. Would highly recommend A ++++++++
