Callaway's Fish & Chips in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Hello👋 Delicious traditional Chippy, been on The Green for decades. You can pick a bench in the shade and eat while your meal is still hot and crunchy ! For smaller appetites, choose small fish. Purbeck ice cream for afters, if you've still got room. Thank you Becky for your charming and attentive service ☺️

This place is a gem. Ordered online and collected with no trouble. Absolutely delicious fish and chips with friendly service. Would recommend to anyone. 😋👍👏

Best fish and chips in Dorchester

The smallest chippy I've been to ever, couldn't get my mushy pea fritter but everything else fantastic. Best fish I've had in ages and staff really lovely.

Had food from here yesterday,absolutely disgusting,AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

What a fab little find this place is. Having googled for the best fish and chips around Dorset this place kept popping up having placed in the top 50 fish and chip takeaways in the country. I tried their hake with chips, a home-made fish cake and a couple of gherkins, and the bill was under a tenner, which is exceptional in these times. But what was even more exceptional was the quality of the produce... The batter was light and crispy, the hake delicious, the homemade fishcake had a lovely rustic texture to the filling. There's a village green outside with park benches you can sit and eat it too, great on a sunny day. Absolutely recommend - 10/10 experience.

Will not be eating there again not proper chip shop chips more like frozen ones cod was so small never seen such a small peace cod was over cooked not nice at all

Large cod, chips and pea fritter, all cooked to order and nicely done. Batter was crisp and not too thick, nice flaky cod and well cooked chips. Pea fritter was huge and tasty. Will be going back again next time I’m over that way.

Been on my hit list for a while now. Well worth the detour. Freshly cooked fish and chips “ medium portion” not been offered that before. Really good! See you soon

Ordered from here when staying locally on a holiday park, lovely staff and chips would recommend and definitely would return.

Was cooked to order, Very happy.I'm passionate about. Fish and chips

We had a delivery absolutely lovely chippy tea our first time ordering here and we will definitely be back

Best chippy tea we've had in ages!! Amazing to even have some vegan options to choose from. The pea fritters are incredible. Excellent service, food stayed hot for a good long while, and it was all cooked beautifully.

Drove past this place initially as it is tucked away but so glad I persevered. Excellent portion of Cod n Chips

Turned up and ordered on door. Took 10 mins which when stood outside felt like a lifetime in the cold and dry, thankfully not raining! Was worth the wait as everything was freshly cooked and chips were fabulous.

Perfect little fish shop. Amazing food, service and options

The go-to place in Dorch if you want the best F&C or scampi. Generous portions, fresh and tastes good. What’s not to love?

Away for a short break in Dorset . Found this takeaway on Tripadvisor. Lovely pieces of cod , batter lovely but unfortunately a bit cold . Yes I know it’s a takeaway and by the time you get home it may be not as hot as first served . Think reason being that whilst food was being cooked and bagged up it sat on the side waiting for other bits to be bagged . Basically our order wasn’t done all at once hence the food was cold . In saying that it was great quality . Busy venue and I would return if in the area .

I don't give 5 stars lightly. But, I've no hesitation here. Fish was awesome. Perfectly cooked. The batter was great, too. Also, I had a steak and kidney pie. Best I've had in a long time. Battered sausage was really tasty, too. Great chips and curry sauce. My favourite chippy is closed for now. I've tried a few others locally, but not for me. I was struggling to find a decent place to eat, to be honest. Callaways saved the day. Excellent food. Try them, you will eat with a smile on your face, As did I. I'm a happy man:)

Great quality chippies and very kind service!

5 of us had lunch from you today all excellent

Damn good chip shop parking can be a problem when busy but this just shows how popular the place is

5 stars ! Recommend to go on opening time, less busy and fresh as you can get! Cons: no seating area, benches are 2 mins walk! Great to sit and enjoy

The best fish and chips my mum and I have had for many years absolutely delicious would highly recommend 😋

Drove 20 miles on a recommendation for this. Very good food, friendly service, would highly recommend. I run a a food delivery business so I know how hard it can be. Well done.

Quaint set up on the village green

Excellent! I only mark down atmosphere because you have to wait outside and it was absolutely pouring down 😝

Best chippy in miles. Wanted a small sized portion and that was what I got. Exactly the right size to mot feel overwhelmed

Customer service is amazing you feel more like a member of the family than a Customer. Good range of food and never poor quality. Best chippie around.

Great Friday night dinner, quality food 👍🏼

Best fish ever.! Staff always friendly and helpful .

We really recommend this fish and chips, we have visited twice during our holiday in Dorset as it was so delicious. We ordered online which was easy and everything was hot. We will return again when we next visit Dorset.

Great fish & chips. Best this year.could not fault food or service. Would recommend to the discerning customer.

Best fish and chips in Dorchester

Amazing crispy batter on fish, lovely chips. Very busy & not surprised because food is outstanding. Only gave 4 stars for service because of wait time after ordering, staff very friendly & courteous.

Just wanted a portion of chips last night……absolutely awful. Anemic and tasteless. The bread role tasted quite a few days old too. Threw them in the bin. Shame as used to go there years ago and best chippie in town…..Staff and service lovely, shame the chips weren’t…..

Best fish and chips in Dorset never had a bad meal we tell everybody where the shop is

Haddock was cooked fresh. A little wait for my order but it is cooked to order and deffently worth the wait. Very good size portions, will have to order small chips next time.

Bloody wonderful! Huge portions of fish, lovely chips, never greasy always fresh. Best fish and chips around!

Fish and Chips is a regular meal on our holiday. Not without issues - closed venues, burning the paper whilst reheating or losing a family member …. But each year we search out the best local fish and chip place for our annual ritual- always with a little trepidation. Thankfully we struck gold here, lovely people, service, easy ordering, great squidgy chips and crisp fried fish in a light batter - delicious !

I recently ordered takeaway from Callaways Fish and Chip Shop, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The ordering process was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. When I received my food, I was impressed by the quality and freshness of the fish and chips. The batter was perfectly crispy and the chips were piping hot and delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and I felt like I got great value for my money. Despite being a takeaway order, the food was still of a very high standard and tasted just as good as if I had eaten in the restaurant. I was also impressed by the packaging used, which kept the food hot and fresh until I got home. Overall, I would highly recommend Callaways Fish and Chip Shop takeaway to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. The food is of a high quality, and the service is fast and efficient. Five stars all the way!

Best fish and chips, prompt service and friendly staff.

Friendly service and great haddock, chips and peas

A lovely little local chippy. A real gem

Came here tonight via google for fish n chips. Absolutely worth a detour and visit. Very well cooked, presented and great service. Down here on holiday and hope when back in area to enjoy these again.

Absolutely delicious. Perfect chips and a beautifully cooked piece of cod. Only downside was we had to wait a bit, but ypu expect that when everything is freshly cooked.

Once again excellent fish and chips with friendly service

Friendly, filling - did what it said on the tin.

People working here are very nice helpful and polite. Service and food here is amazing. Been here a quite afew times now when working out this way and it never disappoints. Have not had one bad meal. Fish & chips is lovely. Especially with optional lemon squeezed over the fish Everything is very well packaged as well. Keep up the good work guys

Superb fish and chips with friendly service, honestly the best I've had in a very long time and will 100% be back whenever local

Delicious fish and chips Just right for a cold night !

If looking for an amazing fish n chips. Sorted. One of the best I had. Good portions,quick service,and an alarm token system so place your order and sit in your car while it's being prepared and you will get notified once it's done.

Sorry over rated and very expensive. Seem to live on a reputation of unique style of building set near to Fordington Green where people sometime sit and enjoy eating there fish and chips. The owner has an inability to except honest true reviews. Compared to San Telmo and other Fish and Chip Shop this shop is far more costly. The other establishments have roughly the same cost and don't charge so much, and give gool portions when ordering large, unlike Caraways who give small/medium sized portion of chips when you order large....out of order.. the worst in Dorchester.

Has become the best in Dorchester without a doubt, great portions, and all round good service.

Excellent, food was really lovely.

Nice menu plenty of choice good service lots of condiments available enjoyed our meal

Awesome fish and chips I was told that they were the best in dorchester and they definately were.

I can't rate these guys enough and we are so lucky to have them as our local fish and chip shop. They have started selling battered hake and I had that while OH had his normal cod. He did try a bit and is converted so we will probably buy hake next time. I would have taken a photo but it didn't last that long 😂

After a very long and tirying drive to Dorset we finally arrived at our B&B. We really didn't wish to go to a restaurant as we were tired and hungry. Our host, Ellie, from Yellowham farm recommended Callaways fish &chips saying they were the best. Now living on the coast ourselves we have our fair share of fish & chips to choose from but I can honestly say in my opinion the fish & chips from Callaways is probably the best I have ever eaten. The fish was lovely, coated in batter that was neither greasey or dry, it was perfect, just what was needed after a long journey.

Poor delivery service. Gave a 30 minute time slot and arrived 25 minutes later.

Great chippy - little parking though

Ordered first time here via online just 15mins before their closing as we were looking for a fish and chip shop on the way home and spotted this on Google. Small shop tucked away in a residential area, so wouldn't have known about it without googling. Looked very clean/well maintained. Good service, didn't have to wait long though they were still doing other late orders etc. Everything cooked from fresh (ie wasn't just sitting in a heated spot waiting). Got 2 haddock and chips. Had to drive 30mins home.... but fish was still really nice and crisp/hot. Packaging good - formed cardboard type box, kept food warm, paper bag carrier. Chips had gone a little soggy by the time we got home but that was us and the long drive to blame. Still all tasty. Will definitely buy here again on a late night going home.

This Fish and Chip was amazing, the Fish was very white with a lovely batter and the chips were perfect. Well done

Been twice now and both times when Ive asked for extra salt and vinegar.... I end up with none ... Such a shame, the whole meal is ruined again, as I'm not near home to add my own . I would eat here more regular if they weren't so tight with the basics. It's like not having sugar in tea if you like it. Seasoning is as important as the product.. Great food, hope they see this and sort it out.

What a find. Fantastic fish an chips, the best we have ever tasted. Only downside: due to location, difficult to park for collection. But with patience you can find a space

Had Large Cod and chips,. These are the best I’ve had outside of Yorkshire , and better than most from there, would recommend them to anyone visiting Dorchester.

Always fantastic exceptional value for money Would not go to another fish and chip shop Sustainable aware Lovely owner and staff Jo

I had a lovely sized portion of fish and chips, the batter was light and crispy and the oil was drained really well. Chips could have been cooked a little longer for me personally, but I enjoyed my whole meal and will be returning.

Very friendly. Lovely tasting fish, beautifully cooked. Lemon lovey touch.

This is the second time that I have received luke warm chips l The cheese was just piled on top and not melted at all . After a phone call and discussion they offered to replace .

Good place for fish and chips. They don't do gluten free but can cook fish on a plate in the microwave. The fish was really good and chips were brilliant. There was a risk of having a gluten attack due to potential cross contamination with the chips but I was fine. Great service and very friendly and helpful staff

Great food and service, glad we found you whilst visiting the area.

Great fish & chips as always. Our favourite!

Always good food. Friendly staff.

Normally excellent fish and chips but unfortunately the mushrooms are now breaded and not battered They now taste like something from Iceland not like they were lovely crispy batter

Just eat ? just brilliant, best meal in a long time from a local fish and chippy that's me sorted won't bother anywhere else easy order easy pick up and great service from a lovely family business well done an easy 5 stars.

Amazing fish and chips. The batter is lovely and the fish really fresh and tastes fantastic. The portions sizes are very generous and the staff are lovely and really friendly.

Excellent fish & chips, which is good value (we always have small which is plenty). Served in a box with a wedge of lemon 😋

We haven't been here for a while, we went along on 18th December and it seems like it has new owners from previous visits before Covid. All new frontage with a big window serving counter, so no more walking inside to order and a pretty good idea for social distancing etc etc. We thought we'd give it a go and we wasn't disappointed. The fish was cooked perfectly in light batter and the chips were thick and tasty. Altogether a worth while visit, I'd say, it's up there as the best in Dorchester.

Still one of the best in town large portion excellent value for the price.

Amazing food. Fab vegetarian selection too. Customer service was amazing and so easy to order from App and then collect at window.

By far THE BEST curry sauce myself and my husband has ever had (not exaggerating). Huge portions of chips and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend (pigs in blankets sausage too)

Best fish and chips. Friendly staff.

On holiday in area and read reviews. Placed an order using their app and arranged collection time. The tell tale signs are the queues outside when we arrived to collect our order. Ample portions and great batter. When in the area again we will return. Will not delete your app :)

Nice place good food. Bit mean charging extra to swap the potatoes for chips (they replaced with a side portion which was too much) especially when spending £150.

Always busy which is a good sign as San Telmo is just down the Rd, batter could be better but fresh chips and good prices

Slow slow slow slow you could starve, waited 3/4 of a hour

The staff are very friendly and the food is excellent. I had fish and chips with mushy peas. The fish was fresh, well-cooked and the batter was crispy, not soggy at all. The chips were crispy and had a nice flavour. I got a nice creamy portion of mushy peas. Food is cooked to order which is a nice touch. Highly recommended.

Twice asked for chips... got home. No chips. Didn't pay for chips but I'll never go again. The end of a family tradition. I think they are victims of their own success. Fish was disappointing too.

Small place (probably smallest one in the uk) chip portions were tooo small

Great price great food and delivers

Really good fish and chips but parking is a nightmare. Try and walk if possible!

Looking for a chippy in Dorchester, we saw this place with rave reviews. It’s great, you can order online specifying the collection time you want, turn up at the appointed time, and collect your meals, all neatly bagged up for you, when they call your name. The reviews are not wrong - and this will be our chippy of choice going forward.

Just moved to Dorchester from Cornwall. We thought Rock Stein's in Padstow was good but Peckish in Camelford was better. Calloways has proved to be even better still. The fish is so fresh and is like the chips superbly cooked. No soggy batter which gives you indigestion just crisp batter and sweet haddock.. Very much worth the wait. Delicious.

Excellent fish and chips, but could do with marking boxes when multiple types of fish are ordered, a must got chip shop

Googled a fish and chip shop for our tea on route from our beach day in Weymouth back to our campsite. Ordered online which was super easy to use. Collected in 35 mins. Safe contact less collection. Probably one of THE BEST cod and chips I have ever had! Thank you 😊

Great the very best in Dorchester give it a try, you will not regret it

Callaway’s fish and chips in Dorchester is amazing. Perfect piece of fish. Great batter, great tomato sauce. And all next to a small village green with benches to sit on. Couldn’t recommend more highly

What a great place! Lovely cod, scampi, and chips — and CREAM SODA, which warmed this American’s heart. The staff were terrific; great chat and swift service. A+

Masdivee portions but a lot of chip bits that weren't so good
