Caught in Test Valley

Caught smacks of an established business where they know their strengths. The chips and haddock are always excellent. Yes, we've had better GF batter but Caught offer the best GF Fish and Chips that we've ever experienced in the last 24 years. The service is interesting, not overly or particularly friendly (but they are warming), it's rarely fast but those two kids serving know their stuff. Even when you phone in you'll have to wait for those in front of you. But definitely worth the wait! The Boss and I share a large Gluten Free Haddock with Large Chips with GF vinegar and salt. We've dined outside Caught 4 times (sitting in the car outside the P.O.) and transported fish and chips twice to Wellow (once for 5 and once for 6 people).

Absolutely amazing Chippy! They have the best service, cooked to perfection, everything is fresh and well run. In an area where we have a couple of chippys Caught is absolutely stunning!

In the heart of Romsey near the abbey, and offering excellent value. Highly recommended. Thanks PS1 I wondered if the angled 'u' in the 'caught' sign was hinting at being hooked!? PS2 Just enjoyed beautiful haddock & chips. The 'u' is straight again but the 'g' inside is looking for my next haddock!

Really good Food. Excellent quality and value. Service excellent.

The best fish and chips I have tasted for a long time. Excellent 10 out of 10.

£2.50 for a bag of chips bit of a rip off really. Think I'll make them in my airfryer

Food is cooked fresh and good quality. Reasonably priced. Staff friendly

Great service and excellent chips and chicken burger - highly recommend

Lovely fish and chips as always and the new burger was great!

Firstly, reading about the long waiting time, I have called and ordered on the phone before going. I still had to wait for everything to be slowly boxed up by the young girl that was way too distracted. But ok. Fish and chips is good, no doubt. Even a small cod I found reasonably sized. Chunky cod, crispy batter, oilier than expected but better than average, good chips. Lovely calamari rings. Pickled egg and tartare sauce below expectations. Overall £13.50 was good value. In my opinion this place should improve on the details: I find it annoying having to pay 40p for a ketchup sachet, or £3 for the bottle! Mayo/mustard is just not available. I was asked if I wanted salt and vinegar, but not my thing. I got the tartare sauce that is nothing special and disproportionally overpriced (70p). Just put some of those large bottles on the counter for people to help themselves to. A couple of napkins would be good to have too. I would appreciate a choice of salad or coleslaw. Box stuff up before the customer shows up.

Went here for the Romsey Beggar's fair and I was given a bite of my friend's food that they got from Caught. Fell in love with it and despite how busy they were the staff were happy, helpful and super fast without ruining the quality of the food. Highly recommended 👌 😋

Absolutely brilliant chippy. Big portions, food is always lovely and staff are always friendly.

Waited for 15 minutes for large chips and battered sausage. Slow slow service

Fantastic fish and chips. Perfectly cooked. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend

One of a few local chippies, best plaice in town

Staff are very friendly and the food is good, though because it is all cooked to order there can be a wait.

The prices seem good but the portion sizes are smaller than you think (medium cod is more like a small). Service is also dreadfully slow

Had medium cod and chips today at lunch time,the fish was over cook and the chips was really nice apart from far to many little bits of chips will not be going there again any time some

One of the best Fish and Chips I’ve been to

Fish cooked to order always a great piece of fish and batter lovely..great chips to. Service great if you don't mind a bit of a wait but well worth it . Love the home made tarter sauce..

Great fish n chips, my experience the chip shop can get very busy at peak times, particularly on a Friday and Saturday evenings. All cooked fresh, really tasty and curry sauce is a winner.

Lovely Haddock & chips freshly cooked

Absolute rubbish dont waste your money ! This is not fish and chips it's just deep fried frozen food you could buy from the supermarket. The chips are not real and the fish the same and tasteless.

if the young girl had gone any slower our food would've been out of date by the time it was handed to us, it was painful watching her move , it was so slow. Perhaps emply a sloth to speed up the process of dishing up our food. Im sure a sloth would also have had a better personality & customer service skills. She clearly didn't want to be there. We were the only ones in so no excuse that she was rushed off her feet. I've never seen anyone take so long to put 2 boxes of fish & chips in a bag. got home to find fish had been rammed into the box and was all broken and cold & a pot of mushy peas instead of the curry sauce we HAD ordered . The chips were stale & tasted like they were left over from lunchtime or even yesterday and the batter on the fish was dry & heavy, the fish was stale, seemed like it was about 4 days old. We won't be returning despite using 'caught' for several years. Don't waste your money here it's dreadful. 4/10 is being generous.

The fish is always lovely and fresh. The chips are great as are the jumbo sausages in batter. Definitely recommend.

Excellent on gluten free night! The staff take it seriously and the food is lovely

Consistently a high standard, all cooked fresh. Nice staff.

Recently moved to the area and was pleasantly surprised to find this gem. Chips were fluffy and cod was well cooked with a lovely crispy batter. Really good portion size - not too big so no food wasted. Fish & chips are sometimes really heavy and craggy feeling but these were fresh and not greasy at all. Will definitely be back!

Best fish and chip shop in Romsey

Beautiful food and lovely staff. What else do you want from your local chippy, highly recommend.

Excellent fish & chips, quick service from a real community hub. Thanks

Absolutely lovely fish and chips. Excellent batter and quality of fish.

good portions of chips . cod is well cooked. Cod small medium or large. Plaice I've got to try yet.. Nice workers.

Normally, I can't stand chip shop chips. These were lovely and crisp with a light fluffy centre - beautiful! The batter is crisp coating the chicken bites and the lovely, fresh and succulent, cod fillets. Medium cod is more than enough for me. Mushy peas were full of flavour and, new to me, served in non plastic containers. We were able to recycle the majority for the packaging. Phoned our order through, as we are at a campsite in Sherfield English, just a quick 10min drive away. Can't fault the service, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Well cooked fish and chips with great staff. It was full on tonight, very busy, but they remained calm and focused and gave good service as far as was possible.. Well done Caught.

Very disappointed. £50+ order, with chips missing. The most bizarre thing being that when I telephoned to complain, the manager would not even speak to me but left it to the counter staff to take the flack. Very inadequate management who hide behind their junior staff rather than shoulder responsibility when a simple apology would have been welcome.

Definitely the best in town, quality is sky high. You do pay for it though.

Great chips we'll cooked fish .Good service from polite staff. Freshly cooked so you may have to wait but worth it. Free parking.

The chips are really tasty - crispy and fresh. We also had a vegetarian burger, which appeared to homemade and was very tasty. Would highly recommend this fish and chips shop.

Lovely food it was a bit of a wait from order to getting the food but it was a Friday evening so it could have been that playing into the mix

Amazing food, best fish and chips we’ve found in romsey

Top chips totally fresh and crispy 👌

Always good quality food, sometimes gets very busy

Loved my pee fritteh, Gr8 service! Fantastic selection of cutlery will be back

You mịght enjoy the food, but you'll need to brịng somethịng to do whịle you waịte for them to take your order, then cooke ịt. Ị ordered medịum chịpps, assumed that ị was behịnd long, complịcated orders, but nay, once they had gịven out the 'two-cod-and-chịpps' they got to mịne. The staff seemed confused by the prevịous order requestịng 'salt-but-no-vịnegar', whịch took ten mịnutes to sort out, or maybe they just needed a power-nappe.

Enjoyable meal for a hungry traveller whilst on holiday

I've visited this fish and chip shop on many different occasions and their chips have been excellent every time. One criticism I do have is that you have to wait in line just for a portion of chips. I've stood in the shop for well over 10 minutes. Surely, it would make sense to do small orders when the larger orders are still being cooked.

All good cooked fresh, not had anything bad.

The food and service were very good.

Delicious food. Service a little chaotic. Atmosphere Mmmmm??

Very cheerful service. Food same good quality as always.

Always excellent, freshly cooked fish and chips here. It's a popular place and rightly so.

This was probably the best fish and chips we've had. Kids meals in kids boxes which they loved. Food was all cooked to perfection, will definitely be returning.

I've been sent to caught to eat some lovely fish and chips 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

The chips were overcooked but the sausages were good.

Just called In and got sausage and chips the chips was uneatable so crispy no potatoe there at all

Still the best fish and chips in Romsey

Very nice sausage and chips, nice friendly staff

Good food, wait time not too bad.

Take-out fish & chips. Offered to fry a fresh fish, as the first one's batter was overdone and hard.

Lovely food cooked fresh and friendly staff

We have been using this outlet for years and always experienced good service and high quality food. Our last visit unfortunately was really very bad . We advance ordered food for 8 people to celebrate an 82nd birthday. When we got the food home it was very poor quality and very overcooked. i could excuse this if it was maybe toward the end of a trading day but not at 1730. We complained and were invited back into store the following day to meet the manager. When we went back in store the manager was too busy to see us and we had to deal with someone else. The conversation was had in the middle of the store in full view of waiting customers and we were made to feel like we were in someway dishonest and fraudulently trying to secure a refund when all we were after was to explain about our experience. As a result of this poor service and poor attitude i have left this review and will not be going back to this outlet again , which is a real shame but if this is how an unhappy customer is left to feel who can blame me....

Sorry to go against the tide...very disappointed With the quality of the large Cod on Friday,over cooked and dry poor quality fish...individual portion not boxed, both portions of fish in a box with the chips wrapped separately in paper,very poor

Really good fish and chips, especially the ones we had on Friday as the oil was new. Personally think this is the best in Romsey ( we have tried all the others, some are good and come close, some not so and are quite mediocre ).

Best cod I've had in ages. Good portion sizes. Definitely recommend!

We had a tasty battered sausage and chips from Caught. It was cooked fresh, very hot, chips crispy. Happy to recommend.

Consistently excellent quality food. THE best chippy around!

Has gone downhill compared to what it used to be! Cold chips, if you could call them that! Long wait aswell

Pretty good fish and chips but they could do with some more staff and being a bit more organised. We had to wait rather a while to get our food as they've rather busy and didn't have enough staff to take orders and prepare orders.

We go here every Friday. Lovely people. Lovely food.

Lovely white Cod covered in crispy crunchy batter. The chips are nicely crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside - without lots of 'manky' bits which is great. Their pickles are also first class. A great chippy but you may have to queue as it's very popular.

Good chippy that freshly cooks to order. Good range of portion sizes. Non fish meals also available. They also do gluten free on Monday evening.

Best fish and chips I know of, and above and beyond customer care.

Apart from the amazing fish and chips, they do great veggie buggers! Staffs are so friendly as well.

Nice fish and chips but a little pricey.

If There's a man Who Can make anyTHING!!! Then give Cholwe a off day.... Decent food tho could use more lemon, or other herbs and spices.

Me and my family decide to have a quick look around this town called Romsey. When it came time to eat (Because my youngest son, John was hungry) we stumbled across this little place on the corner near the abbey called "Caught" We were greeted by this funny little guy named Cholwe. He first bowed and welcomed us inside. He took out shoes off and asked what we wanted from the vast menu of delicious sounding items. We made our order, and were given a kiss on the cheek each from this fella called Cholwe. We waited and he skipped back out from the kitchen with a grin on his face and fish in his grip. "He you go my wonderful customers!" He said as he graciously handed us the food that we ordered. Once i reached for it he grabbed my hand and kissed it before saying "Enjoy your meal" and then he skipped back to the kitchen. I blushed at the kiss before walking away from the store thinking about this Cholwe fella. I cant get him out of my head, he was just so friendly and funny and i think he deserves a raise and should be the face of the whole place! i love cholwe!

Placed a clear order which did not appear

Best fish and chips in Romsey however the most expensive too.

Fantastic fresh fish and chips. Great crunchy batter and chips cooked to perfection.

Great fish and chips... Always! Walk round and sit in the Abbey gardens for a perfect lunch break!

Very hot and tasty chips but expect to queue on a busy Friday

Large order (8 people) was cooked quickly and pleasantly served. Good value too - £50 for whole order

Best in Hampshire.great food and Aways a nice welcome,very friendly staff.good price.

Unbelievably slow to serve two portions of chips. If there is a queue expect service to be frustrating, even if there are chips available they won't give you them because they're waiting for someone else's fish order to fry. Weird business model.

Great if youve got time to wait. Top food.

Several years back this place was very pricy. Yesterday got a surprise at how reasonable the prices were and the quality was A1. Also much easier to park than its rival near the Plaza..which I tried to go to first. Used to live in Romsey now just passing thru but next time will go straight to Caught next to the Abbey. Great service, PRICES and QUALITY.

Always good quality fish and chips! Good portions and cooked well!

Fantastic quality and flavour, stopped on way through to Southampton and found this little gem! Great tasting fish & chips

Went in for their gluten-free fish and chips and it tastes amazing, great price too

From hedge end however was in romsey.. felt peckish stopped by and to my amazement. It was the best chippy I've been to FULLSTOP! All food was prepared while you wait so it was lovely and fresh. The chicken chunks were brilliant. Chips perfectly cooked with crunch yet light and fluffy.

Very nice, very covid aware, non greasy fish and chips, quick too well relatively

Fantastic quality food at a good price. Great service.

Chips were of poor quality with quite a few of bad looking ones in the portion. I didn't like a member of staff who was shouting at the member of staff who was serving and talking to me, I thought it was rude.

Excellent fish and chips Friendly service

Lovely fish and chips. Also you need to get that homemade tartar sauce when you visit.

Nice chippy. Not cheap as chips but good quality. Food cooked to order so allow time.

Best chips! Organised system - given a bleeper so you don't have to stand too close to other customers and then enter the store once your order is ready.

Excellent food and good service :)

I had the pleasure of eating some chips from here just begore lockdown 2 - what a treat. Not the largest of portion size but I had plenty enough, you won't feel you have enough to share (well I didn't but that may say more about me than I'd like!) Crispy outside, fluffy inside and not at all greasy for me a pretty perfect chip. Good location in town by the Abbey. I live in Cupernham so a bit too far to take home so very much an in town eat. Staff were friendly and all Covid rules apllied, let's hope not needed much longer.
