Barnacles Fish & Chips in Bournemouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was good drink was good hygiene was good price was good 10/10 I’d come 100 times a day highly underrated and should get much more customers in my opinion.

Was scranning bare and loved the food that was delivered to me. Also the cod was absolutely delicious. The best fish and chip shop around

Best fish and chips in Bournemouth! Fresh, chunky and not greasy at all. Friendly people, never disappointed.

We needed to get some take-away fish and chips. We didn't like the reviews given to Harry Ramsden's by the pier and there would have been the extra cost of parking to pay. We saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. Good things: it was open on a Monday night, which a lot of places are not; the staff were polite and helpful; the excellent cod and chips came in a useful cardboard box, as we sat and shared them in the car outside!

BEST CHIPS IN THE WORLD! with large portions and fantastic variety of other options! Best Chippy in Bournemouth and very friendly and welcoming staff!

Food cooked fresh to order, decent portion sizes and value for money. Been using the chippy for well over 15 years, same high standard throughout.

Regular visitor. Excellent fish and chips.Tasty fish. Crisp chips.not greasy. All food cooked to order.

Bobs Burgers albeit bay window on the right instead of the left but how uncanny Is this little gem it’s simply made my day.

Great fish and chips friendly staff and plenty of parking. Chips are chunky normal chip shop portions and batter crispy

My local... my favourite... the best! Really just have to post this! This chip shop has been a part of Moordown for so long now and I don’t know how these owners do it, but it’s never been better. The last owners tried their best and it was in fact quite good, but now it is consistently good. Lovely chips! Amazing fish! Best in the area by far. Such warm, welcoming staff, with these depressing times, their smiles are almost worth the visit alone. COVID care taken, from what I could see, just impeccable. Would never go anywhere else for certain. Please keep it up! 👍

ordered Fish and chips for my family and paid and was asked to wait outside. I could not help noticing that the Lady serving and wrapping the food was not wearing a face covering. The older gentleman behind the counter who I assume is the fryer was wearing his under his chin offering no protection. My number was called and i asked about their face coverings only to be told by the lady who served me, who was wearing one, that they did not need to. there was a younger gentleman who became agatated and told me to get out whilst coming towards me. the older gentleman stopped him coming any closer. Obviously they think they are above Covid-19 safety. they offer no duty of care to the public. I did video them whilst I was waiting outside for my order.

Nice and very freshly food friendly staff everything is perfect best one in the town back again....!

The chips taste of rubber and not freshley cooked wouldnt recomend it and the chips look dissgusting

We went and got fish and chips and really enjoyed the food , but I was surprised to see no masks and no screens. I’m not sure if it’s mandatory but even if it’s not I would do this to reassure customers. I wouldn’t go there again because of this reason and more because it seems like they don’t care enough to show They have tried to reduce transmission . Everyone else is doing it why not just do it ?

Queued a while to be served as everything was being cooked fresh. The chips were good and the large haddock did not disappoint. I've had much better, but, as a Northern Lad, I prefer my fish and chips cooked in dripping.

Second time here. First time about a fortnight ago. Really good, everything cooked fresh. This time I think everything had been keeping warm for a while so chips rubbery and fish dry. Big portions but I don’t think I’ll be going back. Pity, really nice...

Always get a great feed from this place. Highly recommended. We often visit this chippy. The staff are lovely and the food is always good.

Tried this fish and chip shop for the first time and will be the last. Sausages looked like they had been sat in hot plate since lunch time and were cold when got home. Chips had an awful taste as if old potatoes had been...

Had a large haddock and standard chips which was around £8. The haddock was good but not very big. The chips were a bit leathery. Overall only OK. Today I was recommended try the chippy nearby on Malvern Road, Malvern Fisheries. Huge portions, haddock was...

Out working and needed to eat , so took the misses to Barnacles , very good fish and chips ans they are open all day , a most enjoyable meal and of good size. the staff are friendly and helpful

This chippy has had a few changes to ownership over the years. We stopped going a while back when there was a change in ownership. However, I’d been told that there had been some changes at Barnacles & I’m pleased to say it’s back and...

Have been many times over the years and seen several different ownwers in the last couple. The fish is always really excellent being thick and moist and the chips are nice and chunky and not at all greasy. Portions aren’t as large as they used...

I popped in today to get us a quick lunch. It was my first time and will definitely go back. I was served by a lovely, friendly and generous hearted lady. The food was exactly what we felt like, well cooked chicken and a delicious...

The Fish got Battered, and the chips got salted!!!! in the area for a weekend away and treated my other half to some fish and trips. We where not disappointed! fish was large and i was happy. Thank you Barnacles

I popped in last night to pick up some dinner for my daughter. I asked the lady behind the counter what would I be able to get that's already cooked and ready to go as I need to pick up my daughter otherwise I will...

Barnacles was a brilliant chip shop. new owners, and gone down hill food was to a very poor standard, fish was very poor about the size gold fish. Sausage was burnt and large chips more like a small. And to top it of we have...

My fiancé introduced me to Barnacles about 4 years ago as he loves their fish & chips and i was not disappointed. They're the best we've ever had and we've never had a bad experience. Their chips are chunky and absolutely amazing. The fish is...

Been in here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the fish & chips. I always go for the medium Cod which is plenty big enough unless you've got a big appetite, then go for the large. With the chips a standard portion...

Visited Barnacles last night after hearing such good reports of this fish and chip shop.We have used the same fish and chip shop over the past 3 years and decided to try Barnacles.Firstly,the staff where extremely friendly so quick in taking our order (2 medium...

lovely polite people gorgeous fish and chips wait for it to be cooked and wrapped up is sole destroying.At 6.00pm teatime this should not be the case. The young lads cooking are brilliant, but the wait for it to be wrapped is not acceptable and...

We have recently moved to Bournemouth and heard from 'new locals' about Barnacles in moordown. We decided to try this place tonight as it sounded amazing from so many people. So happy to have found a good fish and chip shop near us so quickly!...

I came to this fish and chip shop a few moons ago, however I had a horrific experience. Firstly we had to wait 50 minutes for my large cod and chips which in itself is very confusing. What was taking so long? Was my fish...

We have visited Barnacles a couple of times now since moving to the area. The first few visits the food was good, but had to wait a longer than you would expect for a fish and chip shop. Went on Friday, ordered at 17:45 and...

Used to use this fish and chip shop regularly and it was amazing ☺ I believe it's been sold and under new ownership. Omg 😱 what a change. Disorganised... Waited 25 mins for some chips and looked like it was going to be at least...

Very friendly staff. Clean and well organized. Always great service and although have to wait sometimes it's worth it. Keep doing what you are doing!

You won't find a better fish and chip shop in dorset very clean everything is fresh and fish made to order

Asking around for a good Fish and Chip shop I was told to visit Barnacles in Wimbourne Road, Moordown. It was the best choice for Fish and Chips ever. Everything is fresh, cooked to order and Temperature tested before packing. Great find

We're a local family and our inlaws were visiting from London over the weekend. We don't all eat the same things but fish n chips is a common denominator. We've had them several times before from Barnacles and sometimes the chips are better than others....

Well presented, clean premises with easy parking close by. The food ordered was take away for home. The quality was excellent, the portions very fair indeed and excellent value for money. It was our second visit and now we are hooked. See you soon Barnacles!!!

Sat at home expectantly awaiting my wife to arrive with my cod and chips from our favourite chippie. Have used Barnacles for years because the fish was always huge, of excellent quality & great chips too. What arrived was however the greatest dissapointment of 2015!...

I travel from Winton to get a big chips and two medium fish (£12.10) as that fulfils any hungry couple. Freshly cooked, good service with parking on the road or in the Co--op opposite.

Had heard great things from a number of people about this place and being new to the area thought after 12 hour day at work, I'd treat myself. Was quick to order the food I wanted (small sausage, chips, pea fritter and a bread roll)...

We were greeted straight away and our orders were taken by pen and paper from a friendly, older chap. He also explained that battered cod comes in S, M or L. The medium is quite big enough for the average person. There were plenty seats...

I ordered the large cod and chips and WOW WAS IT LARGE, freshly cooked and delicious taste, chips were great too. Will definitely recommend this fish and chip shop. Don't order the large unless your VERY hungry.

I have had fish and chips from Barnacle & I would recommend them they are the best fish and chips in Moredown.

Really disappointed with the food tonight! Normally we love Barnacles, and have never had an order mess up even though we usually go on a Fri/Sat night when it's really busy. Tonight around 8.15pm, just the two of us and another bloke there & there...

The cod and haddock are simply the Best ! The large is just HUGE ! The quality is like I have not seen for years. Every piece is cooked the order. Ahmet and his wife are very friendly and you can expect to queue for...

Every week we have Fish 'n' Chip Friday and this is definitely the place to get them from. The queues can be off putting but trust me it's worth it. Great portion sizes and very tasty fish with just the right amount of non greasy...

I've just got to say my family & i have had one the best fish & chips ever. Customer service second to none,Ahmet & Mary so friendly. Great value for money. 👍👍👍

I just have to echo all the positive comments already left for this excellent Fish & Chip shop. Can be a bit tricky to park if it's busy so sometimes you have to sneak in to the Co-Op opposite, but there is also a handy...

Colossal portions,cooked fresh to order,absolutely scrumptious!Well worth travelling to if you dont live in the area with so many other grotty chippies around.Highly recommended

I've been before but this time on a Friday evening they had run out of Fish!! Not impressed by a Fish & Chip shop that runs out of Fish on a Friday night. Wasn't that late either.

Great menu and pleasant staff. Always cooks our fish orders fresh. Can be busy early evening so be prepared for a short wait but well worth the wait.

Alan's Specials truly are the best in town! Although the wait can be a little long on Fry-days, it is a true reflection of the great quality food at reasonable prices. Would go everyday if I could, it really is special.

Consistently excellent food. Good portion sizes. Not the cheapest but worth a drive. Absolutely our favourite fish and chip shop!

Cooked to order... Big big portions and excellent quality fish! Chips are also excellent and friendly service!

Service excellent. Sometimes a wait for order to be ready but usually a sign of a good chip shop! Quality sausages Chips crispy Friendly staff Recommend

Called in at Barnacles for some portions of cod and chips for the family. Everything is cooked to order. The chips are nice and crispy and the batter covering the fish is lovely. All in all a great fishy experience. Staff are pleasant .best chippy...

Today I did a direct comparison between Barnicles and the award winning Malvern road fisheries. I ordered a small haddock with small chips and a pea fritter from both shops at lunch time on Friday. I shared them with a friend and we both came up with the same result. Malvern road fisheries gave us an enormous portion of chips most of which ended up in the bin as there was far too many to eat. Generous fish portion however batter was flaky. The pea fritter was colourless and tasted of nothing. The Barnicles chips were thick and chunky and crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Again the fish portion was generous and the batter crisp and looked more appetising. The pea fritter was a deep green and tasted wonderful. So there you have it. So why then hasn't Barnacles won an award guess the judges didn't visit them. I have been going to Barnacles for the last 10years and have always had fantastic fish and chips. Also Barnacles were 20p cheaper. Don't get me wrong both chip pies were good only Barnacles were better.

Had a long wait but it was Friday evening. well worth the wait, portions are enormous and good value for money

Our favourite fish and chip shop. We just don't go anywhere else. Barnacles never disappoints - always delicious.

A hidden gem! Bar far one of the best Fish & Chip shops in Bournemouth. The fish is cooked fresh to order and I've never had better. The portions are huge!

We don't often have a Fish&Chip supper. But,when we do this is where we go. Food all cooked to order. Medium Fish & Chips enough to shareIn my opinion the best & only chippy in the area.

Had lunch from here recently, food cooked to order so a little slow, reasonable portions, for e the chips were slightly undercooked, but would try again.

In my mind, best fish and chip shop in Winton and probably best in area. Excellent fresh fish, good chunky chips and decent portions sizes. Plus fish batter was crispy and nothing was too greasy.Delivered in a spotlessly clean shop with friendly staff. I do recommend this place but expect a queue because its built up a good reputation and is popular.

Very good fish and chips however, the wait is often up to 45 mins which despite similar queues at other local places is much more than it needs to be. The portion sizes are massive and a small chips for example is enough for a normal family of four. Slightly expensive also, over £7 for a large cod and small chips.

Fish and chips. They're British as can be. And Barnacles at 956 Wimborne Road are the best.And when you've had good fish and chips, you can't entertain bad ones. Good fish and chips are memorable. They are adoreable. We tell our friends about them and we go back for more.Wherever you travel in the world, ask the people you meet about British food and you'll always get the same answer. And yes, I do know that Indian food is the most popular takeaway, Chinese is in there somewhere too but they're not what we're famous for, is it?Good Fish and Chips are great. I was recommended this place by a friend so I decided to give it ago. I was hungry.Ahmed is the boss. Service is top notch and you are warmly welcomed by this softly spoken gentleman. Ahmed takes your order with a smile and it is cooked for you there and then. And you wait. And then you wait a little longer. Other peoples order are done whilst you're waiting and by the time your turn comes around, you're drooling. everybody is talking to each other, it's busy, people are happy. What a place.There's not a lot on the menu. If you want a burger then go somewhere else. Barnacles doesn't advertise - it doesn't need to because it is very good at what it does. Fish and chips. The fish is superb - fresh and tasty. The batter is dry and crispy - simply the best i've had since I don't know when. And the chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They're got proper forks too!Simply brilliant and tasty basics. I give you my personal guarantee that you will be delighted. Well done Ahmed and co.Final point. You can park across the road in the co-op carpark whilst you eat. Their postcode is BH92DG. Map it.

My favourite place to go on Friday. The fish is cooked fresh and the portions are generous. Ahmed the owner is always there with a friendly smile. Try it, you wont be disappointed!
