Ashley's in New Forest

The Webb page and the blackboard prices are not the same. Prices are out of wack

Great fresh food. All of our food was cooked to order and wasn't too greasy. We had the lunch specials as well which were perfect sized portions. The chips are fresh and not frozen and the fish was a decent size for the money. Even the pea fritters were spot on. I would highly recommend either as a local or if you're here on holiday.

From reviews it seemed a bit hit and miss. However my experience was brilliant. Solid fish and chips.

Fish & chips, chicken, curry & chips always consistent.

Fish and large chips £12.10. The fish was small and weighed 6.1 ozs cooked with the batter on. The large chips were soggy and cold. Very disappointing and will not repeat my custom.

Found fish and chips very dry and lacking in flavour

Excellent fish & chips, & friendly staff :)

Worst chips I've had. As if they'd been sat for hours and reheated. Given 2 stars as fish just about saved it

Fish and chips were nice but a bit too greasy. Fast service.

We enjoyed two lovely freshly cooked cod and chips and a sausage. Salted just right. Piping hot and not fatty. Lovely. Thank-you.

Terrible, under cooked, hard chips not cooked. Oil dripping from the the box. Will never go back. Only place open on a sunday... up your game!!

I don't normally leave reviews but thought it was only fair that I share my experience, given that this place clearly has divided opinion. I popped in having tried 3 or 4 local chippies that I know of, which were all closed so I was delighted to see it was still open. The girl serving was extremely friendly and gave me directions to the beach. I'm local ish but still don't know New Milton very well. I honestly thought I would be waiting for the food to be cooked especially as it was late at night (9-9:30pm) but it was served within moments. The chips were superb, clearly a decent quality spud had been used for the days fry and the medium portion was fair (there's nothing worse than forcing yourself to eat the last third of a portion of chips when you've had enough already - I would rather have a smaller portion of quality chips than vice versa) the battered sausage was dry enough to ensure there was no oily after taste. Curry sauce was majestic but without being too fancy. Great packaging, quick service, lovely food and good value. Comfortably sitting second on my list of local chippies behind Chez Fred. Recommended

Over cooked battered sausages and mushy chips. Me and two others were very ill afterwards. I would say very poor hygiene from the older lady behind the fryers clearly was doing something out the back and didn't wash her hands when coming back into contact with food. Really shame I went here twice before 8 months ago and the old guy cooked the food perfectly and the place looked clean. But now looks like the inside of dust bin. I didn't look correctly until I had paid. If you go here stop at shop and buy toilet roll 18 pack should cover it.

Very efficient and polite staff. Friday evening at around 19:00, I hardly waited 5 mins for fish and chips for 4 adults. Food was absolutely delicious; crispy fish batter not soggy at all, and plentiful crispy yet fluffy chips. Curry sauce was perfect, although I should’ve ordered two pots between 4 adults.

Myself and my wife have in our opinion just received and eaten the best Fish and chips supper ever . The Fish was fresh and had a great batter covering and the chips were delicious Crispy and light .

Lovely Fish Chips freshly cooked 😋 well worth a visit

Terrible fish a large cod well by the looks it no bigger than a fish finger, soggy batter dry fish I did not think that was possible, if I wanted to get robbed I would go to London. An absolute disgrace never again.

Fish is always lovely. The chips on my last visit just needed to be just that bit crispy

We have used Ashley's for years,driving the 30 odd miles from Southampton because the fish n chips were the best.we enjoyed a day out every couple of weeks. Don't know what happened since lock down but now the chips are greasy with oil that tastes as though a change is long overdue .The whole place seems in need of a spring clean and even the staff are not as smart as the older lady and gentleman that cooked and served previously. The last 3 times were very poor, so sadly we will not be returning.

Great food and great value- still the best F&C I have eaten anywhere! And our guests for Christmas agree - they all wanted to eat from Ashley’s for our Christmas Eve meal!

Fish & Chips cooked to a good standard

One pineapple fritter for £1.80 was a shock! My local chippie closer to London sells a portion of 4 for £2.50! To be fair it was delicious though.

Dreadful fish & chip shop. Terribly Overpriced. Cod had a large bone in the centre, followed by a few smaller ones which ruined my meal, soggy fat drenched stupidly small chips, and the pea fritters had a ridiculously thin batter coating that wasn’t even crispy. Will definitely not return and go up the road to another chippy. The owner clearly doesn’t care about quality & reputation, but only making money. Wasted £27 0 out of ten

Very nice fish n chips. Pleasant staff, and fast service. Well worth a visit.

Food was delicious, service on ordering with very friendly and quick. Great prices too, very responsible for the items we ordered. Will definitely return and tell all the same.

Very nice fish and chips, 2 minute drive for cost. Definitely recommend

Not the cheapest chippy around but certainly one of the best. Fresh produce sustainably sourced and beautifully cooked to perfection. Only downside is the queue is sometimes rather long. Worth the wait I can assure you.

Fine but nothing special, better fish and chip shops in the area.

Great prices Food was also very good not greasy amazing chips. 5 stars

Great food and good portion sizes, highly recommend

Chips recooked from lunchtime, and burger tasted terrible . Will never go back again.

Delicious and big servings. Tried this fish and chip from Lins down the road when Lins weren't open, and think we will stick with Ashley's!

Well cooked,hot .Quick service and a reasonable price . Tasty too.

Great food, rubbish service 2 items missing from order both main items. Rang and explained, but only sorry offered and no refund offered! Would give 1 star if food was not so good! Bit cheeky but must help margins not giving what people have ordered!!!

Got be best fish and chip shop on South coast

Fantastic chippy with a small vegetarian menu.

Lovely fish and chips, pea fritters were nice too. Definitely reccomend this fish and chip shop

Came to the rescue at night when I couldn't cook and needed to eat something for dinner urgently other shops were already closed except them

We popped in for fish and chips and a burger and chips while on a long walk. The fish was very tasty and not too greasy and chips were good too. The burger smelt greasy while they were cooking it but hubby said it tasted good. Sadly we did ask for two portions of chips but we only got one (they only charged for one as well) Our fault for not listening when the young lady read our order back to us. We were pleased with the taste and position size otherwise.

Went in after work 9.30pm for a saveloy and pineapple fritter! Such lovely people! They asked me if I wanted any leftovers so they weren't thrown away. Excellent food, great service and fabulous staff. 10/10

We bought our fish, chips, and pies from here , and it was all absolutely wonderful. Hot &fresh, etc. Couldn't fault it. 👍

Good chippy, portions just right. We usually take it to Barton and eat watching the sea.

Down to 2.5 from 4. Fish and chips are still good but small portions and substantially higher prices. Staff in evening unfocussed, regularly getting orders wrong.

Polite friendly bunch only down for quick holiday food perfect thank you

Good fish and chips. Would only say “ they could put a smile on their face “ to give 5 stars

Whilst staying at Hoburne Naish Holiday Park we decided to have a good ole Fish & Chips take away supper, from down the road bout 5 mins drive away. Phoned through an order as expected to be busy as it was a Bank Holiday, all fine took 20 mins for collection. Went to collect was Very busy so was well worth pre-ordering. Staff were all young yet polite and helpful. So, onto the food, we had a few Cod and Chips, Saveloy and Chips and a curry sauce. Fish was fair size would say a medium Cod, nicely cooked, tasty, a tad greasy but didn't spoil the taste. Chip portions were BIG single portion would satisfy 2 adults no problem and were very tasty, nicely fried crunchy on outside fluffy inside. Saveloys and Curry Sauce were both yummy too. All in all good value for money and a tasty dins was had by All...Thank you ☆☆☆☆

Great little chippy in New Milton serving beautifully cooked food.

A few weeks ago I visited this fish shop and found the fish was OK so u decided to call in once more tonight and was served pretty quickly. Once I arrived at work I found the fish was horrid and was only fit for the bin which is where it ended. Buyer beware is my advice.

Nice service... good food served. Fresh fish daily.

Service very good and reasonable price. Walk in with large order and was all cooked fresh

Excellent fish and chips. Don't go anywhere else.

Nice friendly staff, good fish n chips.

A solid fish and chip shop, with great fish and chips cooked to order. Other food items are really good and there's a lot of choice, including soft drinks. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. Recommended.

Very busy lovely fish and chips

Great small family business serving great value products. Would highly recommend to any one visiting the area.

Lovely Fish & Chips Actually on this occasion I had Scampi & chips. Delicious 😋 and always a generous portions. Think I miss the lemon wedge but doesn't stop me buying from Ashley's. Yummy

Best fish & chips near New Milton

Quite simply the best fish and chips i have ever had. Cannot rate them highly enough!!

The best fish and chips I have ever had. Batter is so light, and all cooked to order. Even better, they do a loyalty card, how fab is that.

Tried this chippy for first time..most excellent fish and chips and well cooked, crisp and tasty.

Great fish and chips, large portions, not too much batter

Top fish and chips, good portions reasonable price. If you go regularly pick up a free meal card - every time you buy a fish you get a stamp, fill the card (10 stamps) you get a free meal. Freindly helpful staff, and who doesn't like Fish and chips. There are other items available but I've not tried them.

One of the best Fish & Chips I've ever had, really beautiful

Freshly cooked, tasty tempura, and fish obviously, even after 30 mins still very hot. And contemporary lemon... To squeeze at fish... Even almost on closing of venue, you wil receive worth of money meal

Best fish and chips in New Milton

Good chips. Pre ordered and ready when I got there

Easy to find and great food. If you use the car park opposite be careful its camera controlled and a £100 fine if your over 20 minutes !!!!

Far to oily and greasy, and not freshly cooked

Superb. Tasty ain't the word. Couldn't fault

Another review will follow, as I only went here to get chips for the kids dinner, but by God the chips were good! Best I've had from a chippy, so looking forward to what else they have on offer next time I'm allowed back 😉

Fish and chips and curry sause was lovely here highly recommended, only thing I would say was that I ordered Gravy and was literally like water and very tasty less! But other then that 5*

We didn't receive the order we asked for.

Always considered Ashley's an OK chippy. Stopped lunchtime recently for chicken and chips. The chicken was fine the chips awful. Hard, dark brown either overcooked or re-hashed leftovers. Long wait, in the cold. Despite being the first to order.

Good fish, chips and other bits and bobs. Massive order all correct and enjoyed by campers. Can report, the fruit shoot was an acceptable temperature.

The fish was like a piece of art !❤️

Outstanding in every way. Delicious perfectly fried fish in light crunchy batter. Awesome chips! Served by a squad of efficient friendly servers. Thanks guys!

Not very good the chips were very crunchy if it wasn't for the rain I would have taken them back

Chips hard and few, fish ok, but tiny...

Lovely food every time and the staff are always friendly and efficient.

Fruit shoot was warm chips hard an re cooked fish nice what there was of it

Fanatic chippy, also very generous opening times to 10pm some evenings, open when the others are not

Great fish and chip shop, generous portions and very tasty. Definitely will visit again.

Chips were nice but a bit soggy but the fish was grey and waited about 30 hour for it won't go again

Great fish and chips, only place open on days all others are shut, worth the wait as Very long queue

Great Fish ‘n’ Chips. This was our second time and we drove down to Milford (10-15 minute drive) and had them by the sea. Definitely a shot if needing food in Barton/Milford

Cod & Chips tonight - top notch!

Awesome service! We have just picked up a £150 order, so we'll organised and absolutely delicious! Many thanks Ashley's!

Best chips in New Milton without doubt

Found this place when searching for a good chippy at Barton-on-Sea. Well organised for social distancing and ordering as restrictions still in place at time of visit. Great fish & chips packed in individual cardboard boxes. Fish batter crispy, not greasy and chips not greasy either. Definitely recommend. Don't often find a chippy where food not greasy and batter not soggy🙂

Lovely chips and definitely would visit again.

Fast service, decent food, my kids love this place

Just as delicious as always, still 5*

Very good food and friendly staff highly recommended this fish and chips thank you

After a Trip Advisor review we headed to Ashleys for a Friday fish n chip lunch. Absolutley blown away, quality, taste, service. Really enjoyed and will now becomw a favourite every time we are here.

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time.

Good service. Ordered by telephone and then minimal waiting time before collection. Very good quality fish and chips. Have been back many times in preference to other F&C shops in the area.

Very good chips and good service.

Lovely fish and chips and didn't have to wait long for my order. 😁

I know it's been said before, but yet another lovely meal. So easy, phone through your order and collect at a time that suits yourself from the friendly and helpful staff, super service in these very trying times !!

Good portions on pensioner specials at lunchtime.
