Banks Fish & Chips in Havant

Delicious haddock and chips freshly cooked to perfection friendly staff and nice to be able to sit in no washing up to do 🤔😄 Thanks to all the staff

Always fresh and good portion sizes so real value for money. The oil used really adds a good taste.

Just amazing all round. I'm brown in colour and have never been treated differently .the ladies are wonderful and kind.

Latest & last review - waste of money! The attached photograph demonstrates their version of a large fish and chips. Never returning.

This fish and chip shop is tops, good prices and fantastic service. Would recommend to anyone

Asked for batter to be extra crispy but was more like Yorkshire pudding. First time I've used and won't use again

Just went there with my grandmother (order for takeaway), the atmosphere is amazing, very clean, relaxed, and amazing food! Will come qgain

Generous portions, friendly staff, great food

Excellent cod, chips and mushy peas. You can eat in, or take away. Food cooked to order.

Always excellent food and service from Banks! Highly recommended 👍

Great fish & chips and speedy service!

Really lovely fish and chips everything was hot and just cooked

Great service and great food, very generous portions and tasty .

Always neat & clean. Good food.

Sad soggy batter and tired chips, i just dont understand how they manage it. This was our 2nd try in the past few years but nothing has changed. Sam’s is best locally but they are far from perfect.

Literally the slowest service I've ever received in a chip shop. Wouldn't mind but how long does it take to fry a fish cake!?

Took my sister there as she was staying overnight. We did have to wait long to be severed Fish and chips were freshly cooked. If you want to take away you ate gove a spoon with a number on and the corresponding number is called out. We were there on a Friday evening. Very popular for fish and chips "day". Hence the were very busy but there was enough staff on to cope. Well done to all

The food was excellent as was the service. We had a late Sunday afternoon so it was a little quiet but still very enjoyable. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Smallest “large” potion of chips I’ve ever had! Save your money go elsewhere

Excellent Fish and chips. Portion size very generous. Very fresh and very busy. Been many times.

I like this place. Fresh fish and chips, sit in with a cup of Rosie and watch the world go by. There’s a few coffin dodgers to chin wag too and help you contemplate later life. Oh and it’s on the number eight bus route in and out the city.

Would highly recommend 👌 Fish and chips taste great x

A good reasonably priced fishcake+chips! I like that you can eat in too! Would recommend:)

OAP Take away was served in a box. I noticed chips were generous but a little cold to eat straight away. Quick service as only one pair eating in.

Best fish and chips in area. Regular visits here. Fish is lovely and white flesh and wife loves the spam fritter and chips always good

Not sure why fish and chips takes 30 minutes to cook, 4 people in front but wait 30 mins, had lot better cod tbh, the cod was dry, the batter was more orange than golden brown more bits of chips than actual chips, correct me if I'm wrong but chips should be fluffy golden chips not crunchy ends and lots of them, and yes before you say it was last thing before closing, no it was a Friday night around 7pm ISH, so no it wasn't late, come on Banks you used to do decent fish, sorry after 3rd attempt I won't be back

Great fish and chips....highly recommend 👌

Ordered cod and chips here and it was spot on, cooked fresh, only one gripe expensive, but then where isn't.

Loved the large fish & chips with mushy peas.

Lovely food as always..good size portions,freshly cooked..my number one chippy..

This used to be the best fish and chips for miles, I even gave it 5 stars before. Now it is a sad shell of itself, overpriced and poor quality. There's now an odour to the food, one of stale oil, and no real flavour. Such a shame.

Not the cheapest but definitely yummy

Some of the best fish and chips, fairly priced too.

Very nice fish inside the batter which was slightly too well done for my liking. A bit expensive if you're treating family too a treat.

Lovely fish and chips worth a visit

One of the nicer fish n chips places around. Decent size cod and big portions of chips

Proper Fish n Chips light battered Cod and big quality chips lots of em. Top Quality.

Mediocre. Chips & cod somewhat tasteless. Service mumbled every question. I'm not an OAP, I can hear well enough, but with the Radio blaring "thumpa thumpa thumpa" being shy on the till doesn't cut it. SPEAK UP!

Seniors cod and chips expensive

Lovely food ,very busy but worth waiting for

Very busy ,but well worth the wait,food was lovely,staff were brilliant always good food

Portions have increasing got smaller over the last year. The main guy that runs the place is more miserable than my mother-inlaw. Batter on fish over recent visits has been soggy and chip portions have been small. I love the fact you have to prove you are a OAP to get the OAP meal deal (as per the black board 🤣). My advice is if you ask for fish and chips say that you want it wrapped separately as they skimp on chip portion if put together. There is better chippys locally ie Billy's chippy in Waterlooville. Big portions, friendly service and reasonable priced.

Absolutely disappointed, for the cost I expected loads better, fish had more grease than a McDonald’s fryer and chips had less taste than water

Asked a simple question about confusion about costs on their pricing board and almost had my head taken off! For the record Chicken includes chips , Fish does not..they are now extra ! Be Aware! Last time I'll be going there after many years of patronage due to the attitude by Tony!

Fantastic quality, nice surroundings and brilliant service. Definitely recommend

Amazing food but chip portions are on the small size but as said lovely food

Consistent high quality service, one of the best chippies in hampshire

Lovely and tasty fish and chips! Great service and comfy waiting area! 👌👌

Excellent service good portions with lovely hot cooked food Highly recommended Back several times since, standards maintained!

Good quality fish and chips always freshly cooked.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Been going here for years now for the same chicken burger and chips, used to be one of my favourite places for a chicken burger. You used to get two big slabs of chicken, lettuce and mayo. Price has gone up, quality has gotten worse. This Friday despite even asking for lettuce and mayo I got a "burger" with one bit of chicken, no lettuce and no mayo, in a bun that was hard on top. This seems to be a constant problem asking for lettuce and mayo and getting nothing but a sad looking piece of chicken in a dry bun. Been a customer for years, wont go again

Slow service, they made a mistake on the order and chips were over cooked or re cooked.

Great chippy friendly staff great value for money.

The chips and pie were very nice and priced slightly more than other local chippies but not excessively. Clean and tidy inside. Would’ve scored higher however, I was charged for curry sauce and then told 5 mins later that they didn’t have any and could I choose something else! I asked to use the toilet while I was waiting for my food to be cooked but was refused use and told that it’s for staff. This is a lie as other customers who were sat down to eat had use of the toilet. I think it’s rather petty to refuse the use of the toilet to a paying customer based on the fact it was a takeaway order! I also asked for a plastic / wooden fork to eat my chips, pie and beans (curry sauce replacement) with. Again, this basic requirement was not forthcoming so I guess they expect people to eat the pie and beans with their hands! Had potential but customer service was clearly lacking!

The fish and chips were very nice and not priced any more than other local chippies. Clean and tidy inside. I asked to use the toilet while I was waiting for my food to be cooked and was told this was perfectly acceptable. I was then welcomed into an equally clean and more rhan comfortable lavatory area. I think it’s rather petty to leave reviews purely based on the use of the toilet, considering theres plebty of public conveniences available locally! No need to ask for a plastic / wooden fork to eat my chips with, as lovely and clean metal cuttlery was provided. Customer service was in no way lacking! Very friendly staff who attended to my every need. A joyous experience from start to finish.

Really nice plaice 😉 food is always very fresh, it has a lovely warming feeling. Nice and clean and the owner is a top man. Definitely worth a visit

Fantastic place to get fish and chips etc. Dine in option if you want to. Staff are efficient although a smile and a friendly face would have been better.

Told they don’t do gluten free before closing. When I asked why this isn’t shown on their website I was told that their website doesn’t say gluten free!

Food was great they were very busy at the time I visited. Most members of staff remained calm and professional during the busy period. Only reason for 4 stars is that one member of staff kept arguing with the young lad serving over running out of pea fritters. This was poorly handled and staff should not be treated in that way, especially not in front of customers.

Best chips for miles! Great quality, generous portions, nice little eat-in tables with sauces etc., and really lovely, kind and friendly staff.

Lovely tasting fish, but personally I prefer sausages. And their sausages are wonderful. They always give you more chips than you need so you're always stuffed afterwards, it great.

Clean, friendly and the best fish and chips in the area. Highly recommended.

Can't praise them enough the food is delicious.

View of a rainbow whilst eating at our table!

Stylish looking chippie which first attracted me to the place as we were visiting the local area. Fantastic impressive choice with a lovely indoor seating area. We went for the classic battered sausage and chips twice, a lovely generous portion but not too much. Crispy batter on the banger and fresh fluffy chips all served in a lovely box each. For equally good price too. Most impressed all round.

Banging fish and chips and one of the cheaper chips shops around cowplain

Oily uncooked, unedible battered fish.

Every time i have been in here have had to sit and wait half hour just to get some chips and a sausage its madness

The fish & chips are value for money, generous sized portions.

Best fish and chips in Brighton.

Beautiful food, very tasty, and freshly cooked to order, and very friendly staff

Very friendly staff. Food was wrapped so well that it was still warm when I got home 45 mins after leaving on a cold December evening. They were freshly cooked and tasted great

Always great quality food, local reputation is high for a reason 👌

Yum!!!! But don't understand point of ordering online as still have to queue and wait

1st & certainly won't be the last... Quick service forsteaming hot fresh food.

Dont bother wasting your time with this place, iv tried ordering online a few time and the order never gets accepted. What's the Point!

Each portion cooked to order. Slower service but quality food at the end..OAP discount very good.

Nice local Fish and Chip shop with good size portions, only live up the road so very handy for me.

Best fishnchips ever, gorgeous, and very large portions, can't wait to return.

We always go to Banks for our fish and chips. They are great quality and reasonably priced. We rarely have to wait longer than ten minutes, and when we have to wait it's usually because they're cooking something from fresh for us. Excellent chippy.

Had fish and chips yesterday from this shop yesterday and it was the best fish and chips I have had since my father sold his f n c shop over 50 years ago. An extremely generous portion, cooked to order and a wedge of lemon. My only regret, we were only passing through!

Popped in for a suprise dinner on the way home. Super fast service.. food was delicious! Portions are super generous! 100% will be back! Yummy! 😋

Great chips, generous portions.

Excellent service and high quality food at very reasonable prices, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area .

Just eaten in, had cod, chips and mushy peas with a cup of tea. It was I have to say the best I've ever had!

🤢 RANK for £26.50, just look at those chips, kids meals were just as bad. Never again. I just don't get why businesses just can't be bothered after all the lost business during covid, you'd think they would go the extra mile. Well least I know why I was the only person in there when I ordered. Never AGAIN 🤢

Chips tasted like mud and where so greasy

Chip portions are lovely and huge, fish is 4/5

Freshly cooked, had to go and collect as app wouldn't work or staff answer phone to pre order.

Great place inviting comfortable and welcoming atmosphere

Service was lovely and the food delicious.

Been here now 5 times. Best fish & chips, always a senior we get and got to say large portions and well presented 😄

Gd service. Big portion's. Well worth the money 👍

All orders are freshly cooked while you wait,always had good service.

Brilliant service, & fish & chips are always lovely ..would not go any where else.

Best fish & chips around. We drive past 5 others to have our treat. Curry sauce is amazing, really good size portions and have very recently got a card machine for payment which makes it even more convenient.

It was a long wait. Fish was good but chips a little dry.

Purchased 4 X cod and chips. High quality. Recommended.

I go every sat for us and my parents whoow so friendly and there dinner are just amazing thank u banks
