Ashleys Fish and Chips in New Forest

Best Fish and chips in the area. Fabulous lunch deal at £7.50 for fish and half portion of chips. The fish is cooked to order and is always deliciously crispy.

This fish and chip shop serve reduced size portions of both chips and cod pieces during the summer holidays. I am local and have bought from there for 10 years. But during the last 2 summer holiday seasons my family and myself were extremely disappointed in the cod portions. Last summer my visiting family were served half pieced of fish but charged for a full portion. Last week I paid the hicked increase of 11.50 for standard cod and medium chips. The cod was as flat as a pancake. Barely any flesh at all. It was just skin and batter!! And it was tasteless. Even my cat didn't want any and he normally enjoys the thick flakes. I'm afraid I will be taking my custom else where.

Used to really rate this place. What has happened. Maybe I’ve got fed up with paying exorbitant prices for very sub standard products. Chips had been re-heated and scrappy, along with being extremely greasy and a small portion. Can’t really describe the curry sauce but it’s now in my bin. Chip shops should be consistent for the amount they charge and this place could do with raising the standard. It’s not rocket science. I’m not asking for the world. Just good old fashioned Chips. I presume the answer is don’t buy from here at 1pm in the afternoon. Maybe it’s better when they cook to order but why should the quality suffer? Second time this has happened and I won’t return.

The cod and chips is absolutely fantastic. This remains one of my favourite chip shops. Although this shop doesn't have any tables to eat at, there is a bench around an oak tree just across the road on a little green which is delightful in the Summer. This is definitely worth a visit. Treat yourself.

Not bad food however everytime we order we have to wait forever. We ordered chips and there were 2 customers already waiting for fish and chips, although there fish was being cooked fresh, why did we have to wait for them to be served for just a portion of chips. I've always hoped they would sort this out, just serve our chips we can leave rather than serve in order of arrival 10 minutes wait for chips!!! We've gone elsewhere Lins service is brilliant

This remains a terrific fish and chip shop for take aways. There is a bench under an oak tree opposite where it is lovely to eat the food, weather permitting, of course. I thoroughly recommend the food here.

As a regular I was so disappointed with what is now defined as a portion of cod.Having spent £25 on fish, chips and side orders, only to get home and open the box and see what can only be described as a anorexic fish fingers. At first I thought that the other box must have more cod and they gave two because they were so so small...Nope that was it. I called and asked to speak with the cook and that was as enigmatic as the fish.No sense of ownership, understanding or acknowledgement as to why I would be frustrated. All resolutions were on me, No sense of ownership. So so disappointed. I do appreciate cost of living but dont take it out on me, im not solely responsible for the economic downturn. 14 quid for what was two fish fingers is a joke, but one that's not funny. Won't be back and if you like me, have basic expectations of being fed on the parting of 25 quid, I'd advise go elsewhere or alternatively, get a rod and catch your own...

Take away of choice for us. Park opposite- but watch the clock. Pick up the order then head to Barton sea front to enjoy.

The fish was very average, not much flavour and was very small in size. We were just visiting relations but we would definitely not go there again. I think it was £20 for two cod and chips which was standard size.

Best fish / scampi / mushy pea's / chips - this side of London -- highly recommend and if I want fishy and chips would go no where else -- staff exceptional batter perfection :)

Why one star. It was the gravy! It has to be the worst gravy we have ever been given. It was a polystyrene cup of hot water with half an oxo cube in it. You could hardly describe it as gravy. Apart from that the food is very good.

We are going here once a week for more then 5 years now. Didn't have issue until now. Not to mention the prices but above that the quality and the quantity would need he attention from the owner! Are you having a laugh to sell a child portion of fish and two chips for £13.80 ?! I can get 10 kilograms of potato or a decent huge fish for this money. What's more, the fish halfway were uncooked/raw and the chips were absolutely awful, soggy and not cooked throughly. In the past we always had a proper adult size of fish with a decent chips but this one let you down badly. If I'd open the box in front of the staff, I'd probably throw the whole contain back and ask for my money back because its disgraceful. Eye watering. Never opened the boxes in the shop but I'd warn everyone to take a look before they leave the shop what's inside! I'd not recommend anyone to visit your shop. Shame to downsize everything but you left no choice. I'm still upset even after 3 days ... Half of the fish and the whole amount of chips taken out for the birds if they were happy with it..

Usually very good, but last Monday my fish was cold inside. Other orders okay.just a bit disappointed, fish usually excellent.

I know the cost of everything has gone up but why are the portions diminishing? I went in last weekend ordered a medium chips and small sausage. The box was full. But this week, the portion wouldn’t have filled my 10 year old. The medium box was half full and completely not worth the money.

Absolutely fantastic cod and chips. It is cooked fresh once you order your food and is superb. There is a bench around an oak tree across the road which is a delightful place to eat your food on a lovely day. I am looking forward to my next visit already.

Waste of good money there on two occasions!! give them a very good miss! Would not go back there at any time1

Ordered takeaway meals for 4 adults and 2 children When we got home we found that the cod had not been cooked properly such that the 4 adults and 1 grand daughter left over half their cod. We had no complaints regarding the chips or the chicken nuggets for the other grandchild. Due to this experience we will not be returning.

A regular for my in laws, a first for me and I was very impressed! Very tasty food, especially the chips and curry sauce. Portions are MASSIVE which is what we like! I would definitely recommend - I’d say best fish & chips I’ve ever had!!!

Best that I’ve had in a long time. Very light and tasty. Excellent value as well. Fast and friendly service. Order ahead to minimize wait time—especially on Fridays.

Great value, fresh fish and fluffy chips. Quick and easy and very well priced. It's a regular go to for fish n chips, mushy peas and curry sauce all round!

We were staying in the area so gave Ashley’s a go. Really good Covid safe system. Food was not greasy and portion size well balanced. Preferred Ashley’s over our local fish and chip shop back home.

My first time in New Milton and I visited this shop The food is fantastic very good and tasty and the staff are very friendly and helpful highly recommended will definitely be returning next time we are in the area

We arrived unannounced at about 1.30 pm on Easter Monday. There were 2 people in the queue, and we ordered simple cod and chips. It was all cooked fresh to order, nice crisp batter, well presented chips and a slice of lemon each. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and great service. I can order over the phone and collect 15 minutes later. They have a good variety of food for kids and the best curry sauce. Little bit pricey but not a big deal as we don't order that often.

The fish and chips are ok but chips tend to be a bit soggy. Have used a few times for convenience but looking out for something better. Having had way better on holiday in Cornwall you realise just how average the food is here. Always seem to have to wait a while and they never anticipate that they are bound to have a lot of people wanting to have fish and chips so could put some in to cook in anticipation.

Very fresh fish and chips cooked to order. Batter was lovely and crispy and the chips tasted like they had been cooked in a very well kept fryer. COVID safe with the rules being followed well. Can’t fault this chip shop and we’ll definitely be back!

Found them on line Easy to find Great service and Covid controls Great food and great prices Definitely one to try if in the area

We spend our weekends traveling around (UK) sea sides In our old campa van and for stopped for fish and chips here despite the shop next door being ultra busy .......we mad the right choice .....cod chips x 2 lovely batter on fresh white cod one of the best we have had Will def return

This place is very well organised to keep everyone safe during Covid. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. We ordered Haddock, Scampi, Saveloy, chicken nuggets. All were excellent and the chips were really good.Highly recommended!PS. I have tried to fill in the boxes below as requested, but they don't really work for this place. They take your order at the door so no-one goes in and you can access this from a wheelchair. And scampi are seafood? This is a fish and chip restaurant

Lovely fish and chips, very well cooked and good portions. Well organised, taking orders on the door and bringing them out to you, no need to go into the shop at all. Recommended.

Haddock was very tasty and full of flavour. Batter was just right. Chips good portion size. Quick service. Perfect.

After many attempts at trying to receive some form of customer service and failing I’ve decided to write a review. Placed order via telephone at 7pm to collect at 730pm. Upon arrival paid and then waited which is fine, then watched the blind panic ensue once one of the highly skilled fish serving technicians completed another order of food before theirs had cooked and used the food cooked for myself. After all the tickets had been done and other customers served nobody had spoken to me just left to fester in the corner whilst my food got soggy in their hot cupboard. No attempt to take the blame just offered a very poor excuse in short you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Ruined our national tradition for myself and my wife useless at best. Waited over 20 minutes to receive a phone order that was ready ???Not first time happened for last three visits god help you in the summer months Regards Robert Taylor

Visited with my daughter who has a dairy allergy asked the person serving if the chicken nuggets were dairy free, he then checked the alergy sheet and told us that they were fine. Overnight she has been up with sickness so this morning I messaged the shop only to be told that "I'm very sorry, the supplier of the nuggets has been changed recently with the understanding they would be dairy free. The staff have now been told to check the product ingredients as well as the official allergen sheet. All previous batter coated products were dairy free, the allergen sheet is now being updated, we are very sorry for the mistake."

There always seems to be a queue at this fish shop - especially on a Friday because their fish and chips are really tasty. Give them a try.

I think someone new must be in charge as portions are now smaller. The last two lots of fish I've had have been very smelly, I would say on the verge of being off.This used to be my favourite take away but I won't be using it again.

Guaranteed quality and service with a smile! Best chips in town (hand-cut on the premises). All food cooked to order - fresh and hot!

We ordered lunch time Fish and Chips to take away and eat on the beach. Service was quick and both the fish and chips were excellent. We really enjoyed the crispy batter on the fish.

The best Fish and Chips for a long time!!!! Well done to you all . The service was so prompt and friendly. We shall return.

We recently visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening while on holiday in the area. Not knowing this area well we parked just across the road. The food was ordered and paid for but took 30 minutes to be served. Today we have received a £60 parking fine for being over the 20 mins allowed in the car park opposite. Obviously the parking fine is our problem but we would suggest that staff make a point of warning people about the strict parking, especially when orders are taking a long time. Fish and chips were good but total cost with fine £80. Can’t imagine that we were the only ones to get caught out that evening. Just be careful where you park.

Perfect Haddock & Chips cooked to order. Batter light, chips crispy all served in a cardboard box you can use as a plate ...

A good place, food is fresh and well cooked. Staff are friendly and efficient. 10 minute wait for food to be cooked was time well spent. There is a little parking outside and also a car park about 20 yards away. Good food at a decent price

Has a great choice of food at reasonable prices if on Holiday or on a day out down New Forest, you order is freshly cooked in front of you so no food is wasted.

Our last night near the sea we all craved for fish and chips. Portions are large. We thought we ordered too much- 7 orders of cod for 5 adults and 2 small children but we ate it all. So fresh. Chips were good too but we needed more vinegar. We took the order and walked 2 minutes down the street to the water and watched the sunset. A perfect way to end our holiday.

Best chip shop in the area, lovely and fresh, made to order, great staff. Excellent chip shop. Very accommodating, lovely fish and chips.

Although the fish and chip shop was extremely busy with queues out the door and along the street the service and the food we received was of outstanding quality. Always a good sign of a good fish and chip shop when there is a queue and we were more than happy to wait.

Just had another lovely meal from Ashleys. As usual, lovely light batter and lovely moist fish, very tasty. Well worth the visit.

Holidaying down near Milford, I was recommended this chip shop by a local. Upon arrival it was very busy which I felt was a good sign however it was over 20 minutes before food was available (I only ordered standard fish, sausage and chips).

Organisation is not a strongpoint here. Food very average. Get in the queue the day before you want to eat

Food was delicious and made fresh to order,one of the best fish and chips we have had.The serving staff are young but very professional and welcoming and kept calm under pressure when the shop suddenly got very busy .we will definitely be returning.

Very tasty food with a good choice as well as fish. Great for when you do not want to cook at home Received quick friendly service

Title says it all really, good portions, chips are really nice. If you like fish they do it beautifully. Do the nicest burgers too if youre a fan. All served in a massive box

Regular customer good chip shops are hard to find this is one really good range on offer with specials at different times.

Superb fish, cooked to order so lovely and fresh , lovely friendly staff and battered cream egg to die for! The cream egg bust my shirt button.... nothing to do with the huge portion sizes of fish and chips 😂😂😂

We have tried several Fish & Chip shops in the area in the several years we have lived locally, but Ashleys continues to be our favourite. Always cooked freshly to order, very tasty and hot. And, a small but important point, packed in a decent double-wall cardboard box that keeps the food warm and makes it easy to eat from on the Beach!!

Never had bad food from him. There fish is the best in new milton by far. Lovely little place, highly recommended

Great menu and food. Very popular so it's best to phone order through to avoid longer waiting times especially in Summer. Sometimes sells quirky things such as battered creme egg.

I love getting a cheeky fish and chips for lunch. Only wish they would do a non-pensioner lunch time special of cod and 1/2 chips! Other than that, it's perfect.

I am sensitive to most fish shops, due to oil used. Pleased to say, no reaction, no repeating hours latter. Asked for lightly battered, no problem. Chips nice and hot. Would go there again.. staff very friendly

Best fish in the area, the chips are hit and miss, sometimes good sometimes a little bitty and slightly under cooked.

Been using this chip shop for many years. I have always had good food from here. The serving staff are young but friendly and the food is reasonably priced.

I have, until recently, been a regular customer at this chip shop but I will be taking my custom elsewhere - for a while, at least. The fish is consistently good and the portions are generous but, on my last two visits, the chips have been very poor (stale and, I suspect, reheated/refried from earlier in the day). Ended up throwing most of them away.

Having flown in from Australia we desperately wanted our fix of proper English fish and chips. We were VERY disappointed in what we received. Oily fish and something that didn’t resemble chips. An expensive box of yuck.

Really good, wide variety of food. There's often quite a large queue since it's so popular but it's usually not too long of a wait as they are pretty fast at producing the food. There is a large menu ranging from traditional fish and chips to burgers and jumbo sausages. Chip portions are very large! A recent discovery was that they serve whitebait which is awesome! Highly recommend!

Spoilt for choice in this area for Fish & Chip shops, Ashleys always delivers to a high standard. Freshly cooked fish and nice crispy chips. All wrapped in a decent cardboard container, perfect for eating out of on the nearby Beach!

have been going here for many years but it seems that like everyone we try the standards are dropping. At Ashleys the service is always good. Prices are about right and portions are good. However the food appears to becoming tasteless of late. Nobody seems to be able to cook chips properly these days. They are always soggy and could do with a little longer in the fryer to CRISP UP a bit. As with the batter on both their fish chicken and fritters. Other than this a good filling meal despite being a bit too soft in its presentation.

Always had good food from here, it's always busy too. A pretty decent choice on the menu for all different tastes.

Best fish and chips we've had in a long time. Great value, perfectly cooked and they even give you lemon for the fish!

Freshly cooked and a very generous portion of chips. The fish was delicious and worth waiting for. If you park across the road be careful of the strict 20minute allowed, otherwise it could be an expensive meal.

Helpful staff, who do thier best to supply your order, we always ask for chips to be cooked longer, they always oblige ,reasonably priced

Good traditional chippy, fast service easy to park. Lots of choice and friendly helpful staff. Food was really good.

Great fish and chips, cooked fresh so always lovely and hot. Very clean, with friendly staff. The only down side is that the variety of fish is limited, but what is available is good.

Grabbed a couple of days at an air b n b and wanted a quick take out on Friday night. This place was local so popped in having driven past earlier in the day. The place was banged out and with good reason. The quality was excellent although service a little slow but the taste was worth the wait. Would definitely recommend

While on holiday at hoburne naish thought we would try the local chippy, as last year they were delicious. Average fish and chips, chips very soggy! Disappointed.

Only stopped here to get chips but my god are they nice. Freshly cooked and not greasy like some others I have been to. Will be returning guaranteed

have used this chippy quite a few times superb fish and chips always freshly cooked with friendly staff.

We have been using Ashley's whenever we are in the area. Great food at Great prices. Amazing friendly helpful staff - always greeted with a smile

One of the few chippys round the area open on a Monday. Having spent the afternoon on the beach at New Milton we'd decided a fish and chip supper was in order, luckily found this place on here. Busy on arrival, which is often a good sign, but the order was promptly taken so all good. Took a while to prepare but at least you know it will be fresh.

Cod and chips exactly as expected. But the plaice and chips I had is the best plaice I have ever had!!! Highly recommended The fact it is very busy tells you that it is good

Rather than cook went for the easy option and went to Ashley’s who I had used before. The fish and chips were excellent and of good sized portions.

This fish and chip shop is amazing!! I had a lovely chat with the old man cooking my haddock. He was lovely!! As well as this, the lovely dark haired chap serving me on this busy Sunday evening was extremely bubbly as well as the lovely red haired girl assisting. I rate this place 11/10 as the food is impeccable and the service is truly outstanding. Keep up the good work and your smiley faces.

Does what it says on the tin. Fish is freshly cooked and portion sizes are "good to large". Had many take away from here and found it to be consistently good.

The fish and chips were amazing and the service was equally as good with the constant smiles from all. It was a great way to finish of the day of walking along the coast.

Trundled off to Ashleys on the Sunday of the hot bank holiday. I've never seen so many patrons queuing with people milling about outside after placing their order as it was chocca inside.

The cod and chips was delicious and freshly cooked. It was very busy at 6-00 pm on a Saturday evening. It offers great value. But the most important reason to visit is that it it tastes wonderful. In the Summer sunshine there is even a bench to eat outside. But there is no seating inside. This plaice cannot be battered. Or should that be this place can’t be bettered? Either way, enjoy.

First class fish n chips from here. Some places are average or even decidedly ropey..... but these were bang on. Thank you Ashleys!

We buy our fish and chips from here from time to time.

stopped on the way home , ordered cod and chips cooked fresh , staff very polite , cooked to perfection and great value for the money lots of option s and the place was clean and tidy

Whole family really enjoy our regular fish n chips. Always tastes fresh, batter crunchy and chips yummy.

Well this is the best fish and chips i have tasted. The chips are crispy and the haddock was lush. The staff are friendly. I recommend here. Yum.

We have been using this chip shop for many years and it always serves freshly cooked fish and chips. Staff are always friendly and polite. Keep up the good work!

Waited in a queue while freshly cooked fish and chips. Best fish and chips in the area. Friendly staff. I would recommend this.

Ive just come from here after getting some chips, but when I arrived I was promptly told to F*#K OFF by the cook behind the counter, initially I just smiled out of awkwardness but when I asked the young lad who was serving what the cook said (to give a chance to explain) he said that Les normally comes out with innapropriate comments. Just because I am a bloke doesnt mean that I appreciate offensive language or find it funny, maybe it would be best for families, ladies & gentlemen to go elsewhere???

First time here and glad we had the best fish and chips on holiday ever. Polite staff, good prices, and nice and tasty. well recommended.

Came here twice to get fish and chips as we were staying at Naish holiday camp for the weekend. Staff were polite and lovely. Food was beautiful, best I’ve had actually. Thank you Ashley’s we will back next July.
