We have stayed in charmouth many times and always used this chippy,it’s changed a bit the restaurant has gone and it’s been modernised inside. I have to say that despite reading other reviews about long waiting times and rude staff nothing could be further from the truth the staff are lovely and the fish and chips are to die for the fish is cooked perfectly and there are plenty of chips, if there is a bit of a wait at busy times it’s well worth it!.

This place is so busy we thought it must be good and we weren't disappointed! Couldn't get a slot for click and collect as they'd all been taken until 8.30 so decided to just go and queue if necessary. Our order was taken quickly and we ony waited a short time before the food arrived. Absolutely delicious - fish really well cooked with not too heavy batter and nice chips. Staff were really polite and friendly too. Thank you!

Great fish and chip shop with additional bonus of catering to different dietary requirements! Good selection of gluten free options including fish and pizza. Veggie options also, Fair price. Would 100% recommend doing click and collect!

Very tasty fish and chips….highly recommend the cod bites! Boozy Moos are delicious but a little bit milky, a great addition to the meal never the less. They say you know a good eatery when they run a queue and this is the case at this little place, waited about 40 mins for our food but we were lucky enough to to secure an outside table…..service was friendly and I def recommend

We went here on Monday evening at around opening time there was an incredibly long queue, and people turning up for telephone orders. The owner of this fish bar should be incredibly proud of his staff there were working really hard. We waited about 30minutes in a queue and the girl that took our order was very polite and apologised for the our wait. But the wait was so worth it, fabulous fish & chips!! Will be returning tomorrow evening.

Coming from someone who had ran an incredibly popular and successful fish & chip shop. I genuinely do not write reviews as I can appreciate how difficult it can be at times coming from a hospitality/ food & beverage background. The staff on hand didn’t have a clue. Several young girls with nobody taking the lead in getting orders prepared and severed in an acceptable time limit. Waiting half an hour for 2 fish and chip meals isn’t acceptable given there was no que! They must’ve served a couple of orders in this period. Waiting half an hour when there is no one to serve with several staff on hand is never acceptable in this trade. A few telephone orders had ordered curry sauce people were coming back as they didn’t have any. It wasn’t organised in the slightest. The price is one of the most expensive I’ve ever paid but the fish was great. You must have a supervisor manager on hand pushing the staff to get the orders out in an acceptable time. Not “shall I do this one? How about you do that?” You could see the other few people waiting we’re getting restless.

Thank you for providing such a good choice of gluten free items on your menu. Its not the easiest thing to accommodate in a busy shop.The bonus here is that the food was first class, (both gluten free and normal!) - I wish we lived nearer.You order online - what a great system for these covid days and it was ready at the time specified. The shop is busy though (high summer) so book early.

Lovely food and a slick operation. You can pre-order food for collection which is great given the length of queues and waiting time because of its popularity. We went twice while staying locally - had an issue once with one of our meals which was dealt with professionally by the manageress. The pizza are great - go for the Lyme Belly Buster and add some Roquitto peppers. Can't wait to return next year....

We came back from a long journey to Charmouth for our holiday we were very tired so we neded a lovely meal from the fish bar and pizzeria and that was exactly what we got. The pizza was impeccable with flavour at every taste! The fish and chips were also as amazing and tasty as the pizza! The next day we returned as we were delighted of the quality that they served so we popped into the shop and brought some ice-cream. The ice-cream was delicious and at a nice price.We eould highly recommend it

We were really looking forward to our holiday fish and chips but couldn't understand 4why, since it's by the sea the fish wasn't fresh?The fish was very dry and the batter lacklustre which was odd consider the wonderful reviews and the reason we went there.Really sad, but never mind, we are having a lovely holiday.

Visited for burgers, sausage and fish & chips. Even though the shop was quiet it still took 30 minutes to get food! Absolute chaos. Very poor food hygiene practice… server using same utensil to scoop chips and open the bin, no hats/nets, did not see one person wash hands, the owner and server had their hands all over the food (no need to handle each chip!), all wearing own clothes which were used to wipe their hands on, environment was filthy, masks only half worn, and so on…. As for the food. It was awful….burgers not cooked properly and tasted of plastic, fish was gritty, chips were dark brown - over cooked, dry and cheap potato, the sausage was actually ok. All ended up in bin. The shop has a monopoly in the area, I only hope competition opens soon as this place has to massively improve their operation.

We came on a Saturday lunch time and it was luckily quiet, there were still 3 tables free outside as we ordered our chips, rolls and curry sauce. The staff were lovely and helpful checking ingredients of the curry sauce to check if it was suitable for vegans etc. The chips didn't take long to come out and were lovely, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

We visited last Sunday. It was a beautiful day so people had obviously flocked from the beach for fish and chips. There was a queue but it was about 10 people so we thought we would wait. The queue took 1 hour. Shocking but we had already committed and didn't know the area so we stayed. When we got to the front we could see what the hold up was.3 members of staff were working and all of them were packing 1 order. It was chaos. No system and no one seemed to know what was going on. 1 girls job seemed to be holding carrier bags open. Why wasn't 1 person doing online orders. 1 doing instore orders and the other serving ? After we'd made out order we were told another 45 minute wait. But after waiting that long we were hardly going to walk away.People were coming in to collect online orders and being snapped at by staff saying there was a delay they'd have to wait .. like it was their fault. 1 women came to collect a pizza and was told a 30 minute wait which she couldn't do as she had a child in her car and was literally coming in at the time she had been told !! Eventually our food was done.... they forgot something... by this point we weren't surprised. You need to get processes in place.You need to he polite to your customers The food was ok not worth a 2 hr wait

It’s absolutely incredible how inefficient a chippy can be. Have zero competition probably adds to the questionable success of this place. You can order online but good luck if you don’t decide two days in advance. I managed an online order, stood in line for half an hour to pick it up and was told they were running so far behind that I’d have to wait for another 30-40 minutes. Decently, I was refunded the money. I tried again several days later, utterly unable to believe that even a pre order of chips was only possible with 4 hours lead time. I tried in person. Surely a chippy would be capable of selling an order of chips on the spot? Disappointingly probably not. I’m in a queue that would put the next Apple iPhone release to shame and I sign of urgency from the staff. Hungry times indeed

We popped in for food on Tuesday 1st June. It was exceptionally busy with a long wait. We were happy to wait as it was a similar situation everywhere and we have had food from here on numerous occasions whilst staying nearby, its always good, so knew it would be worth the wait. Because of the wait, some people were being incredibly rude and impatient towards the staff. Despite this, all the staff remained friendly, helpful and polite and professional throughout. Whilst we were waiting, a staff member brought out drinks and wine for those that were waiting and the children were offered ice-cream - what a lovely gesture. 100% recommend, our fish and chips was excellent as usual.

Booked our order and were given a time slot. After waiting patiently and quietly for almost 45 minutes we queried where our food was, it arrived almost immediately accompanied by the irate owner/manager who shouted at us (and the large number of other people who were also waiting quietly) and tried to follow us up the street still shouting that no one understood how busy they were.1. was happy to wait for a bit as we could see they were busy2. don't appreciate being accosted unfairly as we had been very patient3. not sure what is the aim of shouting at your customersBad show Charmouth fish bar, don't think we will be back.

Ordered our food for a 6.50-7 pm collection at 7.25pm where still waiting, several customers who had been waiting longer than us complained about the wait time. Staff came out to say they where running 20mins late, we politely mentioned we had been waiting nearly half an hour by this point. Our food came rushing out a few minutes later followed by the owner who started shouting about people not being understanding, she actually chased me and my mum off the forecourt when I refused to have ‘discussion’ as I wasn’t going to let my long waited for food go cold by standing around to be shouted at. She carried on shouting at the other customers as we walked away. Appalling behaviour and terrible customer service.I appreciate they had a lot of orders as it’s half term but you have 6+ members of staff and what looked like very little organisation. The food was nice but not worth being chased off the premises and shouted at. I would void this chippy and drive to Bridport or Lyme, it’s probably quicker.

Unfortunately it’s a 90 min wait for chips and they insist on your home address to order! Lots of very unhappy customers out the front waiting. We did ask politely for an update but no information was shared so we waited and waited. It went 30 mins past our slot.... I’m sure it will be better when they sort out the online order system tech but they aren’t there yet! When the chips arrived they were burnt.

Lots of staff working, but no organisation. Three tills but only one being used to service the massive queue, and even then only from time to time. Unlike any other fish bar I have used which seem to take delight to deal with plentiful customers and serve food. Waited ages to order and then ages to collect. Clearly benefit from no other competition in town. I know they do online ordering, expect 2 hour delay so it’s not realistic, but the odd thing is barely any food leaves even while you are waiting. They could be making a fortune. To top it all off, got back and I’d got the worst ever bisto gravy instead of a mushy peas. Didn’t have the enthusiasm to go and complain. I reckon I could drive to bridport and back quicker than use this place. Fish was really good, as was pizza. Shakes great. Chips soggy and disappointing though.

Ordered online, it was a bit of a faff, but you could book a time slot and pick up and order exactly what you wanted. Have used this place a lot over the years. Portions are smaller and standards have slipped. Chips weren't very crispy. Batter was a bit soggy though fish was nice, but the pea fritters have shrunk almost by half. Very small and pricey now. Disappointing. But the worst bit is you give your name, your email and your mobile number and it is PRINTED on the receipt. So be careful or your personal info might be shared accidentally. This would stop me ordering again.

During our stay in Charmouth we wanted to partake of a traditional 'fish & chip ' supper. We tried their website first, but the limited time slots available meant that driving to the restaurant and ordering 'in-person' was the best option. After ordering, the waiting time was just a few minutes and back at our accommodation we enjoyed a really tasty meal. Delicious fish and a generous helping of chips made for a most enjoyable supper.

Recently paid a visit to this fish/pizza takeaway and was a little disappointed. Situated on the main street in Charmouth. There is parking on the road. We walked passed earlier in the day and noticed that there were signs to say you could pre order your food. I tried phoning up and nobody answered. When it went to answer phone the recorded message told me about the opening times for Thursday. It was Friday. Not able to pre order I walked down and stood in a small queue to order my food. When I got back to my cottage and tried the food it was disappointing. The food was luke warm, the chips were very poor and the fish and roe were average. Pity I was so looking forward to it.

Ate here recently and the fish was amazing! I had a cod fillet burger and my wife had grilled Hake which was great and excellently cooked. It was very busy which was a good sign and we did have to wait a while, but it was worth it. Even in these Covid times, everything was clean queue was orderly, couldn't eat in but could use the small tables outside which we did and benefited from the 'Eat out to help out' scheme which was just a bonus! It was reasonably priced anyhow but service was good, they checked some allergy queries I had and overall were really nice & helpful. But as I said, food was great - highly recommend!

We have eaten here before, (pre-Covid times) and there's normally plenty of seating. This time (August 2020) we had to queue outside to place our orders. I would strongly recommend pre-ordering food by phone as this place is very popular and the queue can be long (but it was worth the wait). The food is cooked to order and absolutely delicious!! There is a huge menu and they also do a range of local beers. I can definitely recommend the Fish Bar and Pizzeria, simply because the food is so good, freshly cooked and a reasonable price. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. I can't wait for the indoor seating area to be reopened, as the place has a lovely atmosphere. There is some outside seating, but it is very limited.

We've been coming to Charmouth Fish bar for years and always make a point of coming when we are on our hols. This time we had five different meals ordered and although busy (was a Monday) we didn't have to wait that long at all and everything was cooked to order. The kids loved the sausages and chicken pieces and one of them shared my curry sauce and chips. Curry sauce was lush and nice to see decent sized pots here (hate it when you have to buy four dinky pots in some places, just give us the sauce!!). Sis had a battered veggie sausage which was new to us. She thought it was delicious. Husband wanted a haddock but was not available and reason was explained which was nice to know . He was more than happy with the extra large cod ordered instead (looked more like a whale). We came back a few days later to get the kids a unicorn shake which they can highly recommend! Last year I had a Jack Daniels shake which was amazing. All in all a very enjoyable dinner which was confirmed by the six empty plates we cleared away. Couple of people kicking off because someone's number was called before theirs but staff were really polite and handled them better than I would. See you next year.Sorry no pic we were too hungry to stop and take one.

Visited during a trip to Charmouth post-lockdown. The fish bar is still only open for outside sitting despite government relaxation of rules, so there are only 4 tables available. The fish and chips were fresh and delicious and generously sized. However, it was a rather long wait despite not that many people. Also, tables are not cleaned between customers. I think you should provide disinfectant spray and wipes outside for people to clean their own table if your staff are too busy for that. Lastly, the layout is a bit confusing as where you purchase drinks and ice cream is different from where you order fish and chips but it’s not obvious unless you have been before.

Not the cheapest but best to think of this as food you'd have in a gastro pub rather than an older style chippy. Decent selection of beer and wine and desert. As it was October it was busy enough to have atmosphere but not so busy as to require any waiting. I suspect it'd be rather busier in the main summer season.

Went here twice whilst staying in the village for a week and both times the takeaway fish and chips was delicious. Did not have to wait long but can imagine it is quite another matter in the summer!!

Visited on a Monday evening and there was a queue of 3 (always a good sign). Ordered 2x fish and chips at 6.40 and watched as the fish was made to order then and there. Order fulfilled at 7.00. These were large portions, the 2 medium fish served 2 adults and child easily and the 2 portions of chips were enough for us 3 adults and child. The chips tasted great and were cooked in fresh oil. Paid about £15. Can’t comment on the pizza but as I was waiting several orders were made.

Stopped here for tea on a couple of nights whilst staying in Charmouth and had the scampi one night and the t-Rex burger on the other. Staff were very helpful even when they were a little short staffed. Food was good value and delicious.

Called in here on the off chance. Pleasant indoor cafe with additional outside seating. Serve beer, wine and cider. Had their large cod and chips, big mistake as left no room for bread and butter pudding. Generous portion of chips and mushy peas to boot. Would definitely recommend Well priced meals.

We went initially and got the fish dishes. Good. Calamari ok, hake very good, other fish nice. Service ok, very busy at peak times. Prices are not cheap for certain items but that’s just because the monopoly it holds for the area. Pizzas and garlic bread. Awful. Expensive, tasteless and poor quality. Do not order. How place can brand as a pizzeria is shocking.

I visited Charmouth in order to walk the dogs but at the same time very hungry & thirsty. My sister and I decided to get a takeaway and sit outside the fish bar which has excellent seating area. I went for the extra large cod which tasted incredible. The batter was gold and crispy and the fish tasted so fresh and melted in the mouth. I also had a Refreshing Golden Cap which is a Lager brewed by Lyme Regis Brewery. All in all a very enjoyable evening with perfect weather to boot.

We had not long arrived in the area on holiday. My husband had fish and chips and said they were lovely. I had pizza which tasted and felt like cardboard. Never ever again! My 8 year old niece could do better.

Great Fish and Chips, very popular and good choice. We visited on the Bank holiday weekend which was very busy with the queue out to the front. The downside from us joining the queue to getting our food was it took an hour! Half an hour to the order point and half an hour until the order was ready, the upside was they told us it would take half an hour so we popped over the road to the local for a quick pint - made the wait seem just about ok. It's the wait that means I gave a 4 and not a 5, I guess on most days this wouldn't be an issue.

Amazing. Best fish and chips we have ever had, apart from the fish and chip shop in Frome. Great service even when demand is high. the food is amazing and I would recommend to anyone who is staying around Lyme or Bridport

During our vacation we had diner here several times. They serve an excellent fish& chips with wonderful mushy peas or coleslaw. The pizzas and burgers are also good. Very friendly staff too. The only thing they can improve is the inside temperature. It’s too warm inside and there doesn’t seem to be a good working air conditioning.

Went out of our way to come here again and were even more impressed this time. I had the Wurzel pizza on a gluten free base and have to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. Lots of pulled pork & chutney & crispy base. Kids happy with pepperoni pizza, battered sausage + wife had crab fish cakes which she thought were good too - fresh.

Excellent food and atmosphere, highly recommended. Expect to wait due to the high demand. Restaraunt is hot in summer but there is seating outside. Takeaway is so popular there is quite a wait but totally worth it. Also has a huge selection of food so even my fussy grandkids were able to find something they liked.

Fish Bar and PIzzeria was one of our family favourites. We ate in the restaurant mainly but also did takeaways on a couple of occasions. In summary, we would say very good food/drinks quality and value for money, and excellent service in the restaurant from friendly young staff. We tended to go towards the end of the sitting 830-930 when it was a bit quieter inside. Takeaway food equally good but usually busy at early evening peak. Patience required but worth the wait.

In Charmouth gibt es nicht viel Auswahl an Restaurants. Umso schöner, dass dort diese Fishbar ist! Ein nettes kleines Restaurant, das eine große und leckere Auswahl verschiedener Pizzen, Bürger, Chips und natürlich Fisch anbietet. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, alles ist gut organisiert. Isst man draußen oder möchte das Essen mitnehmen, bestellt man auch draußen an einem „Selbstbedienungsfenster“. Wer gern regionales Ale trinken möchte, findet hier mehrere Sorten. Auch die Milkshakes sind sehr zu empfehlen.

We are staying at a campsite in Charmouth and our first night after setting up we had a very hungry family! After exploring the village there wasn’t a great deal to choose from but a giant queue and a packed outside eating area led us to think ‘Must be good!’

This place is a lovely place to sit in the evening and enjoy food. The burgers and fish and chips are to a very good standard, however the pizza dough was slightly over cooked and a bit harsh on ones mouth.

We’ve been here a few times over the years but this year was a big let down . We spent over £50 on a takeaway and my wife took the kids down to the beach because they were getting restless . I asked for some sauce and they refused to give me any as I had to pay for it but my wife had taken the money with her ( bearing in mind this was a £50 order ) I think this was a piss take . So no sauce at all for us . Then when I got to the beach it was obvious the pizza and garlic bread were cooked along time before the rest of the order so they were stone cold and hard . Not good at all . Won’t be re-visiting next year

Takeaway night was a huge success with this wonderful takeaway facilities. It was busy but well managed and the additions of waiting seats, free WiFi and small book shop helped the short wait fly by. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Food was fantastic with a huge variety of food and drinks on offer. Well worth the visit.
