Absolutely amazing very tasty food and staff were brilliant. My daughter had a diabetic low while waiting for our food and the lady behind the counter offered to go to get her some chocolate to bring her numbers up. Got the dinner home and was still piping hot and crispy, can't fault it so yummy best fish and chips I've had

Looking for a good chippy to feed the family. Was very skeptical after reading the review about allergens, but decided, based on all the positive reviews we'd give it a go. The staff we're really friendly and helpful, and I was happy to hear that they wouldn't guarantee any food, rather than take the risk and have a reaction. My Son thoroughly enjoyed his steamed cod, and we'll be back again next year!!! Great to see that they were also awarded a 5 star food and hygiene certificate just the day before we arrived. Keep up the great work

Wasnt actually able to eat here, because they have no available allergy information, no ingredients lists, or willingness to try to accommodate an allergy. Simply a blanket "no, we can't guarantee anything". Judging by the way all the staff looked at each other blankly, they have no policy for allergens at all. The allergy information requested was for one of the 14 allergens covered by UK law, so this is very concerning.

While the fish and other items were cooked well we were left somewhat disappointed by the chips. Although ok we hoped to get traditional finger thick chips not thin ones that done go slightly mushy. The main part of my order sat in the warmer for 5 mins while it seemed everyone else (locals) got served first. Whether pre orders or walk ins. Good value for money though....not the largest cod but it was £7.30 and you do get quite a large portion of chips

I’ve gone for a 4 star rating to be fair .. but I think really on my visit I would go 3 .. maybe 2 ☹️ .. but I’ve gone 4 because i think they meant well. So I attended on a fairly hot day, you can’t pre order online and the phone never gets answered from what I saw whilst I was there . So walked in and there was about 5/6 people waiting before me .. put an order in for 4 people , basically 3 cod , nuggets , 2 chips mushy peas and onion rings .. so not a massive amount. We then waited no joke 40 mins for our food. 3 or 4 people came in after us and got served ?.. there was no real order to how the food given out. I would think you’d do one at a time in the order they got served. But anyway to top it off .. we got home and mushy peas had been forgotten 🤦🏼‍♂️ our 1 and half year old was fuming :( . I did feel sorry for them , there was only 3 members of staff working and clearly overrun. Someone did complain as well when we were there asking for a refund as the food had been sat out for 20 mins . So I think this didn’t help. But the guy taking orders was friendly and the prices are good. Just a pretty unfortunate the time we attended I feel

Drove from Ventnor to Shanklin as local chippies were shut. By god it was worth the journey. Didn't get to eat the food for almost 35 minutes because of the weather and drive back, and the fish was still crispy and lovely white inside. The chips were gorgeous too. Friendly faces and a nice welcome. 5 stars all the way.

Well we went by the reviews as we wanted to find a nice fish and chips shop..the reviews were good so we gave them a try....well service was friendly and quick and the shop was very clean. We chose cod and chips...this was wrapped and ready for us to take away..when we got home 5 mins later the fish and chips were still hot..but the batter was all soft and stuck to the wrapping hence no longer on the fish...the chips had all stuck together and really were not appetising at all...the fish fresh and had no bones and tasted nice..but as for fish and chips we were very disappointed.

The service was excellent, a real family business that obviously prides itself on customer service. I had a quick chat to the owner about the economy while i was waiting, a really lovely chap. The food was fantastic, and the portion sizes were generous and the fish was lovely. A real gem of a shop and I would advise you to use them whenever you are in the area.

We were looking for a nice restaurant in Cowes for lunch on Saturday and found this one through TA. We had the most delicious meal served by the two sons (owners). They told us the restaurant has been in the family for over 30 years and you can tell this is an owner-run restaurant. They put such care into everything. Will definitely visit again.

I usually go to Wights for fish and chips as they are excellent.However,due to upgrading, I found they were closed.The nearest fish and chip shop was Tony’s.So I thought I would give them a try.Unfortunately, due to the ridiculously small portions,I won’t be going back.I don’t see how they could charge so much for about a dozen or so chips.I had to pay an extra £2 to get enough for two people.Wights are always excellent and not swamped in grease like Tony’s.Shame.
