Brown's fish and chips, poole in Poole

Ordered fish&chips today - food was unbeatable today - tough chips greasey fish . It supposed to be treat of the week....

Excellent gluten free chippy. Had everything on the menu that we hoped for and more. Absolutely stuffed now! Can't recommend enough.

The staff were extremely helpful and polite and explained their gluten free processes. The fish and chips were cooked to order, good and a reasonable price. Having recently become celiac it was great to be confident about having fish and chips. Would highly recommend.

Really well cooked battered fish and chips and sausages. Fresh flavours and very friendly staff. Certainly recommended.

Nice freshly cooked cod and chips. Very good service. Managed to park outside and didn't have to wait that long. I particularly liked the fact that there was a table with salt and vinegar on it so you could put as much or as little as you liked on yourself.

Always good fresh gluten-free food. Cooked to order, with care and attention, hot enough to take and eat at the beach at branksome chine. A great treat on a sunny evening

Really lovely gluten free fish and chips. Friendly staff and overall excellent service. Went to the restaurant two days running. Excellent choice of gluten free extras (mushy peas, gravy & curry sauce).

Not particularly friendly service, £4.50 for a ‘large’ chips which were not anything special. While eating mine, I found a curly human hair in the chips which went straight from the bag to the plate - not the same colour hair as mine or my husbands! Not impressed and the chips went in the bin

Lovely gluten free fish and chips, and friendly staff. Even advised us when we nearly over ordered! 3 happy coeliacs! Will use again next time we're in the area.

Super fish and chip shop with cafe on the side. we stopped in after a day at the beach and werre delighted! The staff are all very friendly and the service was really good. There is a very good gluten free selection 1sifferent kinds of fish,fish cake, pies and puddings. Two of our group ordered gluten free dishes -fish and chips and a fish cake - and two regular fish and chips. All the food was delicious and portions were generous. The waiter checked our order very carefully and it just to be sure it was exactly right. We had a lovely pot of tea and some soft drinks and thought the bill very reasonable The cafe is as very clean and pleasantly decorated We’ll go again the next time we are in the area-thoroughly recommend Browns!

Had a takeaway from here while on holiday in Bournemouth. Lots of choice on the gluten free menu - we had fish, chips and sausage in batter. All cooked really well and tasted great. Service was good and didn't have to wait long for it to be ready.

Went to Brown's Fish & Chip on Thursday 3rd March was met by a very nice lady who had excellent customer service skills, checked for Gluten Free food and was shown a Gluten Free menu.A choice of Fish, Sausages, Fish Cakes & Gluten Free Pie. Had Sausage & Chips it took 5 minutes to cook and was very tasty and was good value for money. Will highly recommend

When we first had a take away it was really good, crisp batter, lovely squishy chips and large crunchy homemade onion rings. The last 2 have not been anywhere near as good and the latest was the worst yet. Mainly hard ends of chips, soggy batter on fish and onion rings which seemed like the frozen variety from the supermarket. Such a shame, we don't feel we could come here again.

The best place to get fish and chips !! Always tastes fresh and chips always nicely cooked. Every time is perfect ! This is the place I shall always return to as so reliable.

Dissapointinly very small piece of fish for a "large" one and just a handful of chips. Was still hungry after eating. Wouldn't have been quite so bad without the grumpy face. I've tasted worse but after seeing positive reviews perhaps I set my sights too high.

This is the second time that my wife and I have visited this shop after 6pm and the second time that they did not have enough haddock in stock but that isn’t the main problem we have. For the second time, the attitude of the senior member of staff on site was terrible. A disgusting miserable old lady who couldn’t even greet us with a smile when we arrived and instead almost scowled at us when we placed an order and the indifference was written all over her face and in her attitude. My wife and I finally walked out when the young girl who was serving us had to ask the miserable old woman for a second time about mushrooms that we had ordered and she didn’t even acknowledge us.. the shop was empty (hardly surprising) so there was no need for this. We will never return simply because of the attitude .. the food we had previously was great but not good enough to tolerate shocking customer service and a grouchy attitude from a miserable old lady!!

Just had a lovely large cod and chips , together with gluten free cod and battered sausage . Excellent food and friendly staff - well done

I love the chips they have a perfect amount of salt and vinigar hope you become the best fish and chip shop ever! That famous red fish shop on the seafront is terrible don’t buy things. Paige - Age 10yrs

We got a take away. This place can't get it consistent. Sometimes perfect, other times dreadful. This time was the worst. One of the fish portions was so dry as to be inedible. The chips were distinctly average. The place was disorganised and involved a huge wait. In contrast we went to another regular a few days later and it was streets ahead!Sorry, we won't be back now. We gave it a fair try for some many months.

Thank you Brown’s for the yummiest fish & chips tonight... just the best!!! Your service was amazing too... I ordered over the phone, was given a time slot & they were ready to collect on arrival... you’ve got a great little system going to keep everyone safe too- Welldone!! :)

We went there on the off chance as being in the area and were not disappointed. A lovely fresh cooked gluten free fish and chips, we tried haddock and cod and both great. Highly recommended and thanks for the lovely meal and offering gluten free.

Excellent fish & chips, best we’ve had in the local area. Had 2 large cod & chips with mushy peas. Excellent portions, freshly cooked, served very hot, very tasty. Couldn’t fault it. Good service. Would definitely recommend.

We had 2 Adult meals and 2 children’s meals on a 2 for 1 deal (Meerkat Meals). Excellent service and food. Everything was cooked fresh and the portion size is adequate. The children had a meal off the children’s menu which included orange squash. They also had a Purbeck ice cream tub for dessert. The squash was a little too week and we had to pay for both ice creams despite the offer saying desserts included! Family of 4 fed well for just under £20. We will visit again.However, I did point out that the vinegar tasted “watered down” and there were a lot of cobwebs around which needed cleaning away.

Lovely fish and chips, freshly cooked to order! Delicious!! We ate in, clean dining area, friendly staff! Would recommend it!

Easily the crispest perfectly cooked chips I've had for a long time. Fish was in a lovely crisp Batter too. Not a hint of oil., lovely n dry. Fantastic

Sometimes the fish and chips from here are great, other times the chips or fish are not cooked properly. It is always busy but this puts me off going too often because of the lack of continuing quality.

I can’t recommend this place enough. The staff were extremely well informed, helpful and friendly. The gf menu was vast, including onion rings, pineapple fritters, fried goats cheese and mushy peas, as well as a wide variety of fish. It’s a shame the tartare sauce wasn’t gf, but that was a very minor disappointment. It made for a fabulous end to a day by the sea.

once a month we have a fish & chip supper evening involving between 12 & 20 people and they never fail to deliver a very reasonable and high quality meal right on schedule. Fish reviews are always good. thank you and we'll be seeing you very soon.

Went for the first time last week - was very clean and well organised and we didn't have to wait long even though they were busy. Chips were amazing - lovely taste and not greasy - portions were very generous too. What more can I say? We'll be back!

Popped in here for fish and chips after a visit to Bournemouth. Delicious fish and chips. Reasonable portions. Average price. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Went in tonight at 7pm finally left at 7:30 . I was the only one in at time . Had small cod and chips when I got home the fish was rock hard and the batter was burnt, Over cooked , even dog didn’t want it , young girl serving spent most of her time on her mobile phone . Would not recommend.

Was ok need longer to cook to be honest Ok for a quick munch they seems rushed even thou it was quiet

A really pleasant restaurant side where we enjoyed fish and chips that were gluten free. they understood about separate frying. plenty of tea to go with it in a friendly environment. very good value.

Have had good fish and chips from here but was passing by in morning and noticed they did breakfast and good range of how you like them made sandwiches. Excellent breakfast and very good price too would recommend. The restaurant is also very comfy the seats in particular. The restaurant used for fish and chips and morning breakfast

This classic fish and chip shop on Alder Road back from the sea and near the Uni does classic fish and chips in multiple varieties, including gluten free cod, shown here.

Only £5.25 for cod, chips, mushy peas, slice of bread and butter (brown or white) and a pot of tea. All freshly cooked to perfection, lovely white flakey cod, non greasy batter, you can have choice of bread crumbs or light batter, also gluten free options available, lovely friendly staff and a chef who takes pride in his food. I will go here again and again the best fish and chips I've had in my area and its great to be able to sit down relax and read paper in a friendly atmosphere

After a few good visits, it is beginning to look as if this chip shop has gone off the boil.

Stumbled on this fish and chip shop/ restaurant when taking a different route back from Poole to Bournemouth.

Fabulous food & great service. The cod portions were generous & the chips perfectly cooked. My Mum had the chicken & mushroom pie which was equally as tasty. We will return & would recommend.

Went to Brown's, Alder Road last night. When we arrived we received a very nice welcome, our waitress was very friendly. The fish was excellent, some of the best fish I have had, not greasy batter, tasty white fish. Will definitely return and recommend to friends and family

My husband and I stopped by on the spur of moment for dinner on Tuesday evening. What a great surprise. The fish and chips my husband had was very tasty. My burger was very filling and really tasty. The service was friendly and prompt. The food arrived very quickly, so we will be popping in again on another evening I am too lazy to cook

We went one Thursday evening and eat in the restaurant. This was our first was out first visit to this branch as we normally go the one in Christchurch which has a smaller restaurant area and is a bit cramped, there is plenty of room at this one which is nice. As one of us is gluten free we know we can rely on Browns for gluten free when ever they are open.

Excellent food, cooked to perfection. The service was also good, it’s a family run business, I been going to the resturant but their take away is so good. Highly recommend it

My sister was visiting from the states and while showing her the area we stopped hear for good old English fish and chips. Now I have never been hear before but I am over the moon that I did. Not only was the fish so fresh you could taste the sea, rather than the fat that usually masks the true flavour in most fish and chip shops. I have returned hear several times since and nothing has changed. It's great to see a proper old school fish and chip shop. Good quality friendly staff. Bring back the wrapping in newspapers the only thing missing. Thanks health and safety for that one. Highly. Recommend there fish and chips.

We have tried numerous fish and chip restaurants in theBournemouth/Westbourne/Poole

It's fabulous being able to find a chip shop that serves gluten-free, every night of the week. My other half has the normal batter and that's just as good. The food is always piping hot, cooked to order and never greasy - no matter whether it's a lunch time visit or an evening, at any time. The pieces of fish are generous, the batter light, crispy and we find a standard portion of chips between us two is plenty. My only regret is that I never try anything else on the menu, other than the cod and chips because it's so darn tasty. Definitely a treat to look forward to. I must get around to trying a fishcake! I do miss the slices of lemon they used to give out, as an alternative to vinegar for gluten-free diners.

Had 3 visits to this place, and my 3rd was the final time I'm going unfortunately. 1st time, whilst waiting, the older lady informing one girl needs more chips as it's a friends daughter (good customer service)... 2nd time, two minutes from there to home and get home to my chips cold and incredibly greasy... 3rd time, ask for homemade fish cake (with dip), large chips and curry sauce... the older lady mumbled something then had someone else shout out my order and for her look at my like I'd shot someone... get home, no dip and no curry sauce. Thank you very much, not visiting this place again.

Family of 4 turned up with no booking and easy parking and seating on a Wednesday night. Food was delicious and I was especially impressed with the gluten free and FODMAP friendly fish and chips. They were out of Hake and Orange squash from the menu but staff were friendly and helpful despite the shop being busy (which we took as a good sign). Would definitely visit again if we're in the area.

Normalmente una buena. La última vez, pero no es así. La última noche de basura! Pez grande era delgada y pequeña. Patatas fritas estaba rancio. Nunca más. Dijo sobre el tamaño de peces antes de irme y me dijeron que vienen en ahora.

As we didn't fancy cooking lunch on Wednesday we popped in on our way home.We had cod and chips.The meal was cooked fresh and was still hot when we got home to eat.It is great to eat fish and chips that is not oily.

Due to allergies i can't eat out but these chips are rapeseed oil free and absolutely delicious the portion size...

I go here a lot I have been ill after having food here but not a lot it's definitely a...

The chips here are great. I've been here a few times for a quick sit down lunch in my lunch break and they've always got good deals on for meals and it's normally quiet.

Really impressed, welcomed in, extensive menu, excellent quality fish, well cooked and selection of coatings. Saw the chef checking the food temperature before serving.Helpful and friendly service, I can say no more apart from "We will return"

Really fancied fish and chips for lunch whilst in Poole. We googled various fish and chip shops and Browns seemed to be the best. We stopped of for takeaway, the fish was cooked fresh. We shared a portion for one and it was more than enough for the both of us. Reasonably priced and would recommend.

I would recommend never visiting this restaurant around 8.30pm. Although the fish was cooked to order the chips must have been hanging around for some time which, surely, they must have known about. Everyone knows the saying "as cheap as chips" so why they couldn't have cooked some more or, at the very least, heated some up while the fish was cooking is beyond belief!

We love our dinner from Browns! Great fish, lovely batter, wide variety of food to order. Always great food!

As there were nine of our group attending it was important to choose a venue that could offer choices of how you prefer your fish cooked.The options were varied enough to please everyone.Steamed ,light batter ,standard batter,and breadcrumbsWe were not disappointed ,the service was swift and the waitress friendly

We always get quality food here as they believe in clean oil, clean food.Good lunchtime prices Mon-Frid. 12 noon to 1.30pm in the restaurant or 12 noon to 2pm takeaway

We ate in the restaurant and we were hoping for much more.They do steamed fish which was great for my wife as she doesn't really like it battered.My cod was nice but the batter was soggy.My wife's skate was watery, I'm not sure the really knew how to cook it.The chips were poor. I can forgive a lot but not that.Sorry, we will not be back.

The first time we bought fish and chips from here, they were wonderful but then things seemed to slide a bit and the quality was poor. As such we stopped going. We recently went back and I am pleased to say things have improved immensely. Well done and we will be visiting again soon.

Brown's have at their other restaurant in XChurch made fabulous Home made fishcakes..Opening here, my wife looked forward to savouring without the yomp to XChurch from Poole.Had 3 now and 2 were overcooked. I don't believe they know how to cook them at Alder Road.I ordered 1 standard chips, 1 Jumbo Sausage and 1 Homemade fishcake at 1847 hrs.Delivered at 1910 hrs (23 Mins later!!!) given it was only the fishcake to be cooked.Fishcake was overcooked (and the sausage had been stood for at least 25 minutes before being served.Wife returned the fishcake but can't believe I waited 23 minutes plus for an overcooked fishcake which was inedible and returned immediately. Having had to take back chips before being cold, had a previous overcooked fishcake and with all the to-ing & fro-ing taking stuff back, plus this experience, I calculate in 3 visits have cost me over an hour in time waiting/correcting the problem and had only 1 good meal out of 3 with only one portion of chips exchanged and money back for one fishcake. I live round the corner from the shop so am local and have always found them slow etc, but my enthusiasm for Brown's taking over has now dwindled.Would suggest anyone to think hard before using them.(Plus they threw my receipt away when my wife got a refund having gone in 1 minute later to ask for it back too)

My family and I ate in the restaurant for the first time recently as have only ever used the takeaway and we absolutely loved it. Beautiful quality, very generous portions and extremely reasonable in price. Friendly and prompt staff.Absolutely the nicest chippy around by a mile!!

I was en route to McDonalds when I spied Browns. I was with my 2 year old daughter who already said she was hungry & I felt peckish too, I thought it would be much easier to feed her at a table rather than in car so I turned around & so glad I did! I was given a warm welcome & the food was delish & I must say the service provided by Dave was second to none. Will definitely be popping back when I'm feeling like a naughty breakfast bap!! Was so yummy - THANK YOU!

Good portion sizes, tasty and pretty quick service. Always busy there, which is a good sign! Just round the corner from us, so ideal!

Not my most local fish and chip shop but use it regularly as gluten-free available every day. Well cooked tasty fish and decent chips

Ate in the restaurant for the 1st time tonight with my family & everything about this place was fab!The cod was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of lovely light, crispy batter (we had the standard cod & chips). The chicken pie was lovely & the chips were perfect, "proper" chips! Service was fab, very attentive & efficient, we didn't have to wait for a long time to be served or for the food to arrive.Would recommend this lovely place & we will return.

My friend & I were on a day out, Stopped at Browns for Fish & Chips,Great Food Good Service, Lovely décor & atmosphere,If I lived in Poole I would frequent it often, fish & chips Not to be missed Also a good salad bar, Not usual with Fish & Chips,But great at Browns!Bernie Somerset

Don't often have fish and chips, especially at lunchtime, but stopped here on a whim, hoping to brighten up a miserable day.Ordered large cod and chips - from the length of the wait I imagine they went out to catch the fish maybe? An elderly man and woman were serving and getting thoroughly confused with it all, although it wasn't busy - the 'chef' seemed to be getting more and more frustrated with them, shades of Fawlty Towers!!The fish and chips when we got it was very poor - the chips were soggy and lukewarm and the batter on the fish was thick and greasy. We didn't get the lemon slices we were offered- but instead we had several long hairs inside the box with the food! It would be an idea for the elderly lady assistant to either wear a hat or do something with her hair for hygenic reasons.Probably the worst fish and chips ever experienced in Poole, where there are several excellent alternatives.

We stopped for lunch on a Thursday.It wasn't very busy, which was a pity as it deserves better.The fish & chips was crisp and tasty and reasonably priced.The staff were helpful and attentive. Dave is a credit to their business.My wife was particularly impressed with the four options offered for the way the fish is cooked; light batter, standard batter, breadcrumbs or steamed.We will be back.

Been here many times and tonight was brilliant as normal. I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and the staff were attentive, the restaurant and toilets clean and the food excellent. The takeaway is just as good- even when they are really busy.I've never been sick after eating here and my coeliac disease is very sensitive so even the slightest bit of gluten can make me sick. They take their gluten free stamp very seriously- a fact I am very grateful for. It's also fab they don't charge extra for gluten free and they do it at all times, not just specific days like other fish n chippies.

Called in for a "Chippy Tea" after Christmas shopping in Poole. We have visited their other chip shop/restaurant in Christchurch on a number of occasions which we absolutely love. We shared Haddock and Chips, a home made Fish Cake, a portion of Mushy Peas and a drink which at £10.50 we thought was good value. The fish was beautifully cooked to order and the chips were excellent, I mean top draw, hard to beat. We were told the Fish Cake contained Garlic and Coriander which it did but it needed more fish as it was more like a potato pattie. We made use of the convenient parking outside to polish off our food before heading home.

Purchased 2 medium cod and large chips, fish was lovely, but for me the chips were soggy ... Thought chips were meant to be slightly crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the middle!! Wouldnt rush back

Gluten free food with an excellent choice of different fish scampi and king prawns amongst other choices.lovely presentation and beautifully crisp batter and chips."Normal"food looked and tasted good too!!

This was just a standard chippy before, for take away only, but they've expanded to add a lovely little restaurant. We took friends for dinner on a whim last night, and it was great - the portions were generous, the food delicious, and the service was great. We had 2 small children with us, and the staff were very accommodating. Everyone raved about the fish (cod and haddock between us) and I had the squid which was wonderful. They also had some unusual extras - we had spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce which were great, and our friends were delighted with their pea fritters (which we'd never heard of before). Staff were happy to adapt the children's menu to let my son have a saveloy with no issues. All in it was a lovely little find, highly recommended.

Recently visited Brown fish and chip shop on Adler Road Poole. They were without doubt the best Gluten Free fish and chips I have had. The staff were great and the Gluten free alternative menu is extensive for what in effect is a takeaway, though a case/restaurant is in the process if development.My wife who isn't a coeliac was also raving about her normal fish and chips too.Great place. Shame its not in Sheffield!!!

This would be five stars but for the wait for food and the quality of the coleslaw.We had fish and chips, pea fritters, pineapple fritters and coleslaw - all GF.The food was nice, with the exception of the coleslaw which was very watery, lacked substance, and tasted weird ... like it was 'on the turn'. I definitely won't be getting coleslaw from there again, instead I'll buy a pot from a supermarket for much cheaper ... or be prepared and make my own which is unbeatable ;-)The portion size is huge! We couldn't finish our chips.The wait was the other aspect that bothered me ... 30 minutes. Now I wouldn't mind this so much for GF especially as it is often cooked to order; but one chap came in after me and ordered GF fish and chips and got his order before me. I don't know if this was favouritism or what ...I'll be back because there's a few more things I would like to try on their menu, and in that time I'll see if I am served 'last' again. The outcome of service will dictate whether I become a regular user ...There's parking outside the shop in the form of a cut in layby, access into the shop should be OK for disabled, but there's a step which might be challenging for wheelchair users.

Great fish and chips, great battered sausage and chips. The portions were generous and the batter was perfectly cooked. Will definitely be going back! Thanks Browns

Most of the fish and chip shops around poole are no so good in my opinion. However, this place was simply amazing. The food was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing and the staff were so helpful and a really good laugh! Not only that, but it was all great value for money. Definitely going there again!

I just waited ages for my order got home and was missing some of the order. I called but no one was answering the phone.. Had to drive back and then got told that they had run out of the nuggets.. Which I waited for the first time to cook. Offered me a chicken breast as a replacement and got a chicken leg.. Never going back there again!

Love the fish here. Portions are of epic proportion so plenty to go round. Chips are not too greasy. Absoloutely love the goats cheese fritters. Service is also fantastic. Will be coming here whenever we fancy a chippy tea from now on.

This place is better than it used to be, their food seems to be less greasy nowadays. Good food, good service, happy to visit there frequently.

The service I received was top class and the chef Dave is a great chef and always had time to chat. Great food. Great service- try the fish trio.

My order was "one cheese burger with salad, one beef burger with no salad, one cod and chips". Not too difficult eh? Unfortunately I had to repeat the order several times to the lady serving by which time I was confused myself. However, my parents eventually enjoyed their burgers. My piece of cod was a bit of a let down. The batter was incredibly pale, as if it could have done with a couple more minutes cooking. The actual fish didn't look like a whole fillet, it looked more like reshaped fish but it tasted OK. The chips were alright. The bill came to just under £10 so not expensive. Not sure if I'd try there again. There are several fish and chips shops in the area which serve far superior food.

Fantastic place for Coeliac travelers - you must visit this place if you want the traditional British fish and chips gluten free style. The batter was light and tasty and the 9oz piece of cod and fresh, boneless and delicious. I couldn't eat many chips as I was so full but they we also good.Suggest you take your fish and chips down to Brankstone beach to enjoy the fresh sea air and seagulls!

What can I say, the above sums it all up! Staff great and very friendly, will even deliver if you want.

Very helpful friendly staff, could have had gluten free burgers and sausages too, blimey!As far as I could tell they are able to do this any evening (please check though). also with a smile on their face!

I Googled gluten-free fish & chips just by chance and I found Brown's. They have two shops one in Christchurch and the one I went to in Alder Hills. The gluten-free batter (recommended by the Coeliac Society) was excellent. I haven't been able to eat fish & chips for thirty-five years, so it was a total luxury to eat fish in batter again. The menu is extensive and not just deep-fried food and the chef offers a daily menu. And they deliver. And they offer a wedge of lemon with their fish. This really is a top quality take-away at reasonably prices.
