Butlers Of Bosham in Chichester

Good was poor - re fried and burnt

Awful food. The manager seemed drunk and I could smell the alcohol across the till. A daily regular of the white swan I was later informed by a lady in the hairdressers next door. Will never visit again.

The fish was triple cooked and dripping in oil the chips oily and watery Not even 1 out of 10 ..I wouldn't serve that to my dog..please make things fresh and with care guys

Great service and smiley staff, but long wait times and unfortunately the food wasn't very pleasant at all. The battered cod was extremely oily and brown (perhaps overcooked, or almost tasted like old oil had been used!), it didn't taste fresh at all. The chips were okay, and as said staff were pleasant despite being busy with orders. Sadly due to food quality, I wouldn't visit again if in the area.

Food = overcooked fish that had burnt batter, and I mean, not just a bit. Chips were soggy and overcooked, not nice at all. Service,= would have been nice to have been acknowledged and served with eye contact and a smile. Astonishing prices, I have had better service, prices and quality at the fish and chip shop I usually use, I was recommended to use you by a colleague, that was a big mistake. I can assure you I will not use you again.

Where do we start. Butlers a few years ago was the best, I arrived at 19.20 to find out they had sold out of all food. After a discussion with the young chap behind the counter I managed to order battered sausage and chips, a young family walked in after me, and they where bombarded with, all food is sold out and they walked away. The young chap behind the counter then explained that his boss was useless and that he couldn’t order for toffee. Then love and behold the guys behind the counter are necking strongbow and talking about when they get out of there. Photos attached of alcohol being used on the premise. Zoom in to below the knifes. Get home to find very over cooked chips and under cooked sausage. Butlers sort it out

Lovely guys who served me, food is well priced.

I live nearby and pop in here once a week. Always excellent quality fish & chips and the half a pound King burger is brilliant value for money and very tasty. There can be a queue sometimes but it’s worth waiting five mins for. Good portion sizes compared to other chippies for my book.

The food is good. Vegetarian options are limited.

friendly staff,tastie food best in bosham

Thank you so much for the amazing food, fantastic customer service and banter. Such a caring community place

Service has gone downhill. The guy working the tills was so rude. It is not a clean as it used to be, it looks like a really deep clean is needed. If it was not for the fact, I was getting a quick meal for the kids before we went out, I would have walked out.

Best Fish & Chips in West Sussex Butlers at Bosham roundabout ( White Swan) on the A259 You can preorder on the website link

Best fish and chips we have ever tasted ! Cooked to order ,friendly staff and a varied menu.well presented !

First time using this chippy, food was fantastic. Had jumbo battered sausage and chips with curry sauce. Batter wasn’t oily and chips were fluffy. Will defo come here again

A different experience from 3 years ago unfortunately. Battered haddock very greasy and it was early in the evening too. Chips were OK though. Not cheap either.

Crispy batter with soggy tasteless fish from the freezer - expected more from spending over £100 for 8

Good service and selection of food. I had fish n chips which were very nice.

Really good traditional chip shop with decent portions and reasonably priced.

Friendly lady, chips were under cooked, fish was tasteless, price was ok

how can people write these reviews about a good chippy when clearly it is not,I stopped going there as the food was not good enough,this week I thought that I would try again, but no the chips looked and tasted like they were par-cooked 3-4 days ago, never ever see the same person cooking,it just seems whoever they can get hold of will cook,

Friendly cost o.k service good 👍🏽

Fish smaller than I thought. Medium to me was small so if you like fish go for large. Would have liked it better if it was less greesy.

Fish and chips are nicely done and freshly prepared and we enjoyed ours. Two big fish and a big chips are enough for two adults and two children. They kids meals with free drinks. And they do pickled eggs and gherkins, sausages and other usual chippy stuff. They charges 40p for a small pot of ketchup or mayonnaise. Free parking outside. Coop next door.

Never been disappointed with the food or service. Unfortunately I no longer live in the area!

Great food & service, you have to wait a while but it's worth it for the freshly prepared food

Great fish and chips - crispy and plentiful

Found after visiting family. Lovely fresh hot food.

Not Good. The only thing big about the Large Fish was the price. Then adding on top the fish was over done and the oil that was used must have been old because the batter was soo dark. I was really looking forward to fish for lunch but wish I had had a sandwich now. The place is very clean and staff were polite and service was quick but room for improvement. Hopefully it's just an off day. Unfortunately not worth the price.

Overcooked fish, and dark toffee coloured batter, tried to call and complain later that evening, however the business more important than the call, trying out The Loft in Summersdale this week

Who shuts a chippy at the weekend at 8pm??

Quality products, no skin fish and great taste. Plus great deal for seniors.

Fish and chips tasted really good and was the least greasy fish and chips I have ever had. I managed to eat the whole portion, normally I find the grease makes me give up about halfway through.

highly recommend this fish and chip shop. Excellent service and brilliantly cooked food. Really reasonable prices and you never have to wait long even though everything is cooked to order and fresh.

Very good service and lovely fish and chips!

Honestly the best food we have had since being here and we have tried so many chipshops! Crispy batter, beautifully cooked chips, big portions, lovely staff, easy parking, good value. Nothing bad to say apart from I'm gutted I spent so much at other places before finding this gem!

Looking at the reviews I must have caught this on a bad day. Chips must have been sat there ages then reheated. Sausage in batter, batter was soggy. Working in the area will try one more time tomorrow, if no better never again. Shame as have a 2 year contract in the area with loads of builders coming on site. Could lose a lot of custom here.

On holiday and this was nearest to where I was staying. Excellent! Fish batter was spot on. Portions were good sizes.

Since the new people have taken over, this is the 4th time I have been there. Each time there has been a problem. On previous occasions, they just got the simple things wrong like no salt and vinegar despite requesting, I can understand this being missed once but not 3 times.The wait times are always lengthy However this time i went with my family so we ordered at the same time but paid separately. I waited around 20 minutes before receiving my order - as they serve food in the order of people that arrived (regardless of what you order it seems. My order arrived, but my brothers did not - they brought out 3 other peoples that ordered after us. They appear to have lost their order. So another wait. By the time their food appeared our was barely warm. Which was disappointing as we were going to Bosham harbour to eat them. To make it worse again they did not put any salt and vinegar on them - despite asking.

If you are in the Bosham area and would like to taste the best fish and chips around then visit Bosham Fish & Chips (Butlers) in Station Road, Bosham (in between hairdresser Jessica Hayler and the small Co-op). We live locally but hadn't visited for quite a while. On Friday 23 July 2021 we ordered two cod and a large portion of chips and, as always in the past, they were delicious. I thoroughly recommend this shop. Keep up the good work, owner Max!

Tasty fish chips, scampi, pies and burgers

Excellent quality, excellent service, recommended

We usually use our local fish and chips shop when fancy chips but as we were visiting my son who lives nearby to Butler's, for tea we all decided that good old fish and chips would be a great alternative for a takeaway. We weren't disappointed with Butler's fish and chips, both chips and fish were a delightful golden brown, no excessive fat and quite delicious. Very nice.

this is the worst chippy i have ever been to the owner was racisits homaphobic ande transfobic DOGWATER

Went there on a recommendation and wasn’t disappointed. My wife had the cod and said it firm and tasty - not slimy. I had the chicken - cooked to order, also very tasty.

Amazing service and excellent food for my mums 90th birthday garden lunch. Thankyou.

Very tasty food, the best around!

Ordered fish & chips takeaway and just in conversation with the friendly lady on the phone mentioned that the order was for my grans 98th birthday. When we collected our order we received a really lovely Happy Birthday message written on the containers and an extra present in with our order. It was extremely thoughtful, took us all by surprise, and made her lockdown-birthday that extra bit special. Thank you again.

Got to be the best fish & chip shop around. Chips are very tasty & the fish is huge. Very highly recommended!!!

Really handy local fish and chips, always good, always friendly. Ian

everything cooked fresh. Nice friendly staff and food was yummy yum

On behalf of myself and Taxi, my dog, we can not rate this shop highly enough. Taxi loves his small piece of steamed fish and believe, he is the fussiest eater ever. Only one fish & chips shop for us!

Kids meal was a bit over priced but nice chips

Had a £5 senior's portion of fish and chips and really wish I hadn't. Swimming in grease, batter uncooked underneath. Don't know what kind of fish it was( not cod or Haddock ) but tasteless.Chips overdone.

Delicious! Perfectly cooked haddock and great chips, obviously cooked with fresh oil and with a skilled frying hand. Very friendly staff as well.

Frequent Friday lunchtime visitors. They do a fantastic job. The premises are spotlessly clean and the fish is really well cooked.

Very Bad! We ordered two sets of cod and chips on a day trip to Bosham. The batter was overcooked and soggy at the bottom. The chips were dry and looked/tasted like they were yesterday’s chips that had been re-fried in old oil. Overall, the food was of such poor quality that it was unbelievable that this shop felt it was acceptable to sell it in the first place.

I struggle to understand how a shop can get such basic cooking so wrong. Battered sausage was soggy and cold and dripping in fat. The chips were fat drenched and soggy. The fish was tasteless and the batter again drenched in fat and soggy. The chef's clearly need to retrain. If they had 0 stars I would give 0

Very nice food, good service, friendly staff and very good value. Covid-19 regulations made it feel safe and clean. Will be back again soon!

When i got home they had forgotten my jumbo sausage

Always top quality. Great batter!

It 7:30 and was nice and quiet - no queue Only a few pies and sausages left so I ordered a large battered sausage and chips When I got home the box only contained chips - no sausage! Phoned and got an apology and offer to sort it out but I hardly felt like a 3 mile drive to get a sausage !

We are on a campsite near here and this is the closest, so glad it is the fish and chips are the best we have had for ages. Very very good.

Very popular local fish and chip shop. Really nicely cooked Fish. Very busy lunchtimes.

Very tasty. Reasonably priced too. A locals place but very friendly. Glad we stumbled across it.

Best fish and chips in the world

As ever the best fish and chips in West Sussex. Fresh fish, perfectly fried chips, efficient and friendly service. Great value for money.

Lovely food, shame they aren't open more

Busy at peak times but everything is cooked fresh. A good list of alternatives if you are not a fish person.

Nice food each time we have been here although they are small portions. Close quite early for a chippy. Average service.

Really fresh fish with crispy batter, freshly cooked and very tasty chips, friendly staff. First visit but certainly won't be the last.

Top shop call every time best in the area

Very popular when we went (busy) and can understand why...the food was lovely! I don't live close by as we were just passing through on way to our daughters and popped in to pick up food on way, but would highly recommend and will deffo return 🍽🐦

Very good fish and chips. Best in the area

Nice food. Cash only. Only open until 8 or 9pm.

Always great quality. Staff are so friendly wouldn't switch my chippie for anything!

In the five years that we have lived in Bosham, we have probably eaten at least 50 fish suppers courtesy of Butlers. The fish has always been fresh, the chips perfect and the clever simple system that the shop uses to deal politely and efficiently with with its many demanding customers make it a pleasure to visit. The best chippie in West Sussex methinks, and unquestionably one of the best in the country.

Curry sauce is lacking in flavour, but decent battered sausage and chips! They don't take cards, which is really annoying when the Co-op ATM is not working. Definitely something they could easily sort out - particularly in this day and age!

Really quality fish and chips. Great choice on the menu and always fresh. Nice size portions too. This place is cash only. Parking right outside too.

Fish was just about right, chips were moist. So many fish and chips shops fry it too long and let it too dry. But this shop didn't betray us! We shall come back.

First time at this Chippy and we had a thoroughly enjoyable fish supper. Yes there was a long queue but the staff were very efficient and there were certainly no delays. Food quality was good and hot. I'll go back when we're next in the area. Thank you.

Quick service and good quality fish and chips, would come here again!

Lovely, good quality fish and chips at good value prices. This has become our new regular. The cod and chips is great!

great service excellent food and value for money the only one i use and we travel from fareham its that good

Went here for take away fish and chips on our first evening staying in Bosham as an extended family of 6 adults and 4 children. Order taken quickly and efficiently and delivered as required. Definitely worth the visit.

Must be the best fish and chips for miles!! Good choice of fish that is cooked whilst you wait. Special price for pensioners at lunchtime which is great!

Staying close by at the Touring Park - this was an ideal place for easy, fast food. Lovely choice of fish & meats - all served up non-greasy, and really good opening hours (lunch & evenings, 6 days a week). Highly recommended.

Best fish and chips in the area. I always telephone my order as very busy. Service fast quality exceptional for takeaway.

Nice food but small portions of chips .

We visited on a recommendation after seeing a production at Chichester theatre. Good freshly cooked cod and chips, took down to the harbour to eat whilst watching boats from the sailing club racing. Great value, well presented. Definitely worth a visit - just note location is about a mile and a half from the harbour, so visit on way to car park rather than walk otherwise food will be cold by the time you arrive at the harbour.

Best chish and fips in West Sussex. The haddock is particularly good.

Nice and easy tea. Tasty food, freshly cooked to order. We were staying at local campsite and this shop is ideal.

Very nice, freshly cooked fish and lovely chips.

Great fish and chips my only reason for not giving 5 stars is portions are very small

Outstanding food. Fresh fish cooked to perfection!

I live in the same village as this shop and use it quite often ,have never been let down yet lovely crispy batter and chips .When my family comes over from Italy there first meal is Fish and Chips from Butlers well worth a visit

Good chippy with good menu, and service, they don't take card butvthe co-op next door has a cash machine

Always good but wish they did steak and kidney pudding!!

Having recently moved into the area, I was looking forward to having fish and chips from my local chippy. Sadly disappointed. The chips were fine, but the large fish, whilst large, had extremely soggy batter...and lots of it! I don't have salt and vinegar added in the shop, for that very reason, soggy batter, but this was soggy all by itself. I usually love batter, but had to peel off and throw away a large percentage of the batter on my fish, it was inedible. Won't be returning that's for sure, which is such a shame.

We’ve been getting our fish and chips here for the last few years and they’re our favourite traditional chippy in the area. The fish and chips are well priced and always with good sized cod/the right amount of batter, and the chip portions are generous. Staff are happy to chat and you can order by phone prior to collecting which is a bonus.
