Amazing. Hot, fresh and well presented.Nice portions and all fish explained in strength and fishyness. If that's a word. Fresh made tartar sauce. Nothing seemed to be a problem.Very quite for Monday but very appreciated.

Probably the best so called traditional fish and chips I’ve had in very long time. The chips - they were prepared and cooked beautifully the potatoes used were nice quality and not one bad chip on the generously sized plate. The potatoes were peeled yes removed no skin anywhere to be found and not one chip had a blemish ! The fish was nice size not to small not to large and was white fresh not flaky or dry and the batter was nice crispy golden brown - a very good batter in todays world The mushy peas ! These are always contentious I come from where mushy peas were invented and used to be served alone with mint sauce ! But to be slightly critical they were too thick and not sweet enough, a little more runny and a little sweeter they would have been perfect. Bread and butter came with my order, nice and fresh bread though cut corner to corner, in a traditional fish and chip eatery it would be in half horizontally and served on a separate plate and not under the chips as was in this case. (Minor point - offer more than one slice good way to upsell) The service in the restaurant, was brilliant the waitress was helpful and very friendly cheerful and reminded of a cockney welcome, everyone called “darling” she was great and certainly made a solo traveller welcome. The shop itself is a little confusing and door to the restaurant is on the corner of the building but like many other not knowing went into the takeaway side, when asked if eat in option available she looked at me like an alien and said yes just go through and someone will come to you ! Great information but didn’t say where to go so I almost ended in the back kitchen. A little more friendly like the waitress she would have been great and maybe a bit more welcoming, customer service nationally in Uk isn’t great compared to lots of other countries so be nice to prove it can be done! And definitely clearer instructions how to access the restaurant be very helpful If I can note some personal minor observations 1. Bread and butter served on separate plate 2. Give option or not for lemon wedge or tartare sauce (save waste most don’t use or want it 3. Use mugs for tea or offer them 4. Mushy peas thin out the consistency and make very slightly sweeter ( can even sell on own with mint sauce ! ) Overall a very happy experience and would definitely recommend anyone to visit ! I noted lots of of prepared food in the warmers which means is a busy fish and chip shop and they fry appropriately unlike some on the island that make you wait outside for 10 minutes or more whilst they cook them ! My greatest note is that they clearly know how to prepare and cook fish and chips ! And I note as a takeaway they don’t put it in a box ! I think that’s as near traditional assigning today’s world. Thankyou for making my day by finding good food and as a single traveller Fish chips mushy peas bread and butter and generous freshly made tea for around £15 is good value on my book

Great fish and chips bar, we got in late, but the lovely lady let us have a sit down meal as was raining and cold outside, we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, this place is very popular, can really see why! Definitely recommend trying Wights chippies.

I went alone but was very comfortable sitting in the restaurant. Delicious hake and chips and a glass of wine. Couldn't fault it.
Sue V
Had excellent food, friendly service and a nice glass of wine. All for £13. Definitely recommend. I'm a visitor to Ryde but had seen this restaurant and liked the menu.

Wights is always a great place tò buy supper. You can eat in or takeaway. Orders can be placed online and then collected . The staff are always welcoming, polite, and understanding when it comes to your request for food.They do remember you.The food is always hot.

Stood there for 10 minutes while I was ignored by a young lad behind the counter while he played with the till and had a couple of chats with other staff. Eventually walked out and went to the chip shop by the castle and got served straight away and walked out 2 minutes later with my chips.

Honestly best fish and chips ive ever had ! Fish lovely and crispy , chips great and amazing tartar sauce , from Beegee and Granpa ?
Really don't understand the positive reviews which I based my visit on.Chips nothing special at all. Bland. Edible with salt & vinegar. Cod was a nice size but batter awful.Wouldn't personaly return. The way prices are at the moment, I want to be wowed otherwise I'll buy from M&S at a fraction of the price & twice the taste or visit the lovely fish & chip shop at Regal Fish & Chips in Bembridge.A small note but long haired individuals serving food in any environment without a hair net just shows the level of hygiene isn't paramount.Nothing against the servers.

Truly exceptional, divine fish and chips. Best I’ve ever had.

Fancied fish and chips for my evening meal before catching the ferry home. I had read the reviews and I was not disappointed. I had haddock and chips. The batter on the fish was light and crispy just how it should be. The chips I have to say were the some of the best I have ever eaten for this kind of establishment. My daughter had a cheese burger and chips which she also enjoyed. This all came at a very reasonable price with the added bonus of a nice sitting area to eat the food. Would highly recommend. The only draw back is that it is a long uphill walk if you are at the esplanade but will worth the effort.

Came to this take away as the reviews were really good, sorry to say we were disappointed! The girl that served us was miserable, never cracked a smile once, hardly spoke and couldn’t wait to get rid of us! Was trying to tell me how much my order was before I had even finished ordering! She did ask if we wanted salt and vinegar to which I replied. ‘Yes, lots please’ well we didn’t get any!! What’s the point in asking if you’re not going to bother doing it. The food was quite nice but would have been better had there been salt and vinegar on! We didn’t have any of our own with us as we were camping! Sorry to say, Won’t be going back here any time soon.

Not impressed. Ordered online for a 18.30 pickup. Arrived at 18.25 and waited until 18.45 for food to be ready. The burgers were disgusting, very small despite being 'double bacon and cheese' and were ultimately inedible, there was no difference in portion size for the more expensive Large F&C portion, and there was a hair in the tartare sauce. We won't be returning.
