Chez Fred in Bournemouth

Go regularly 2 x monthly. Love the food & the Vibe. Highly recommend.

Excellent. Always packed out. Nearly always a queue to get in

Had the lunchtime special, fish was excellent, and so was the chips and mushy peas. We have been several times, always excellent food and friendly staff.

Definitely the best fish n chips in the area, never disappoints. Highly recommended.

First time using on delivery tonight and excellent all round✨🙏🏻 great to have real chips :) curry sauce beautiful lots of flavour. Had mini haddock and was like tissue paper ✨ so nice to find a great chip shop and only negative is could order all again as so nice. :) Delivery is a bit longer than usual but I knew to get good food would be longer so that’s a plus to us:)🌅✨driver was very pleasant and kind too..thank you 4/1/25 another lovely delivery thank you🌟 food excellent small haddock and chips ..plenty and large haddock chips for son with the absolutely fab curry sauce/ driver pleasant and friendly so thank you💫

We have just been for lunch and once again it was a fantastic visit. The staff are fantastic and the lunchtime special didn't disappoint! We were seated by Sally and served by Trey who was friendly and efficient and we also loved how Fred's son took time out to have a chat with an elderly lady called "Carol" who is obvsiously a regular there, she may have only spoke to the staff there that day and it made her day!! We always have a lovely experience when we visit and couldn't recommend it more! Well done guys, see you soon!

Whenever I visit my mum in Bournemouth this place gets a visit. Fish and chips from here are the best!!! Add some curry sauce to your meal and it’s even better 😄

Great Christmas eve gluten free fish n chips. A bit of a wait as you can't book but worth it. Good service, good food, sone tables can be a bit small for 4, be good to have a gluten free roll and curry sauce too

Superb fish and chips. Fresh, piping hot, and generous portions. Don’t waste your time looking for good fish and chips in Bournemouth- just come here!

Five star fish and chips. Super service too. We eat at Chez Fred’s every time we visit Bournemouth and, if you enjoy fish and chips as much as me, I doubt you’ll find better in any other seaside town in the UK. Good value drinks - try a bottle of Piddle beer brewed in Piddlehinton. Label on the bottle says “goes well with fish and chips”, and it did!

The best fish and chips in ~bournemouth~ the world

Super in every way, service, food, prices. Delicious fish.

Good food, best fish and chips in the area? Discuss.

A very pleasant experience. Fish n chips come no better than here.

Finally visited. Was expecting long queues at 6pm (family waited an hour in August) but got in straight away. We ordered 2 medium haddock with chips and cod with chips together with rolls and butter. Fish was delicious and we were offered more chips. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

First visit today. Was very impressed. My Irish Mother loved the Barry's Tea. Food was perfect, fresh and hot. Highly recommended 10/10👍👍

We visited 'Chez Fred' in Westbourne after moving down her last year. We have enjoyed their home deliveries and wanted to try their eat in offerings. After the Westbourne Community Christmas Lights switch on on Saturday we walked straight in despite being busy were offered a table. We opted for the large Cod fish and Chips meal which was amazing and great value at £18. It consisted of fish and chips, green peas/baked beans , crisp bread rolls and butter, half pint of estrella and a coffee afterwards. It was excellent, the service first class and scrumpcious food. One can understand how it is so busy , plus all the takeaways aswell. Can't wait to come back, a first class establishment.

I heard about this place but did not live up to expectations. Food was OK. The fish and chips could be better.

Best fish and chips in town, even county. Friendly service, reasonably priced and great quality. Gets busy during peak times.

Fantastic dmfish chops here,the guy at the counter is so friendly and helpful, slightly long waiting times as very popular, best to order inadvance

Love chez Fred's, we are locals here and it never disappoints. Great atmosphere, food always tasty, fresh and consistent. Staff always make you feel so welcome and so efficient 🙂

Great fish and chips with mussy peas!

Fish was good. Chips were in need of 4 or 5 minutes longer in the fryer. Limp, pale chips is a poor effort especially when they were cooked to order. Curry sauce nice but sweet. Chap at the front was pleasant.

Best fish and chips in Bournemouth :) we have always got our take away from here and it’s always been great. You can order online and then pick up when it’s ready so it’s convenient!

The BESSSSST Fish and chips!!! Absolute devotees and such reasonable value for money. Couldn't recommend more

Fabulous fish & chips, restaurant and take away, always busy, best fish, chips and mushy peas, would definitely recommend this fabulous fish & chip shop.

Really delicious fish and chips here, wish I lived closer to go again. Easy order and collection service. The premises were spotlessly clean with a welcoming atmosphere. The lads serving were very friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy working there.

Friendly and helpful staff, delicious fish and chips.

Always great to visit .. lunch time specials are fab 😊

First time I have had a takeaway from Chez Fred and it will be the last , soggy batter, chips looked like they were scraps , scampi overcooked, mushy peas cold . For over £30 very dissatisfied.

You'll never get anywhere as good as these Fish and Chips. I've been coming here for years since I was 7. I'm 24 now I'm getting old. 🤣 Me and my parents come on holiday all the way from South Yorkshire Barnsley to Pool Bournemouth. Its a firm favourite of mine and everything is just perfect. You get a lunchtime special that includes a pot of tea, regular fish and chips with sauces, bread and butter and unlimited chips. For 3 people it cost us nearly 40 pounds or just over. That's a good deal compared to other resteraunts that are a lot more expensive these days. Highly recommended.

Excellent food and service, very good prices

Very good service and food as always.

After all the years that it's been open it still maintains its exceptionally high standards. Most importantly, the food is wonderful. Service is exemplary. I hate the American "tip everywhere" culture which has unfortunately been brought to this country but this is one of the places that actually deserves a little extra thank you to the staff. The restaurant and facilities are spotlessly clean. You cannot book a table so be prepared to wait in the queue; it's worth it!

I went for a meal with friends, had a lovely meal in a cracking atmosphere.

We stopped here yesterday after a day trip. The fish was outstanding. Crispy batter and fish melts in mouth. Large haddock is massive! Great prices considering the portion size. Best fish n chips I've had in sometime. Will make the drive from London more often when I fancy fish n chips. Staff was friendly and attentive, lovely people. We had takeaway, but I was impressed by how clean the restaurant was. Highly recommend Chez Fred!

A fabulous upscale chippy with daily special and not just the regular cod and plaice. I had the Cornish Hake and my partner had haddock. Batter was light and crispy. Fish was fresh and flaky. Chips was not soggy. We ordered mushy peas and curry sauce to go with our meal. Both was delicious 😋. Highly recommended. They care about what they serve. Staff was efficient and friendly. Seating to wait for takeaways. It’s very busy and you can see why. Not pricey.

Gorgeous food and friendly helpful staff. Always smiling and efficient.

Visited again and was disappointed, lovely cod and chips, really friendly and helpful staff. My only one gripe was no tomato sauce bottle on the table, me and my friend like a lot of sauce on our fish and chips, we had to keep asking the serving staff for more sauce as it only comes in very small amounts.

Best fish and chips ever (according to friends and family who eat fish). Whenever friends visit I take them here. I can personally vouch for the halloumi and chips being amazing. As are the onion rings. Been here many times now, always great service. Lovely staff. Great atmosphere. Always super busy (a good sign!). One suggestion would be for a vegetarian battered sausage. Vegetarians are often bored of burgers, so that would be a fun option for us and a real point of difference! :)

Went here last night for regular fish and chips to takeaway, it was packed out in the restaurant and the takeaway. The service was very quick, a very slick, professional service by the team of guys taking orders, cooking and serving all the orders out to the customers. The food was absolutely stunning, the fish was bright white, the batter was perfect and the chips were delicious. And the price is actually lower than other fish and chip restaurants, £20 for 2 regular fish and chips takeaway. What a brilliant gem of a food outlet for Bournemouth. Well done team, the whole system was perfection. I'm back next week for sure, everyone must experience this place.

Nice fish and chips, especially the fish, but for veggies the banana blossom is terrible, was very hard. Also only gave 1 mushy peas when 2 were ordered.

Best fish and chips ever thanks

Fab as always food excellent quality all staff very helpful with young family few Grandchildren accommodated us v well always look forward to visiting annually as live good 2hrs away Look fwd to going all year! Best fish and chips ever tasted Young lady that served us was so nice helpful friendly made us all feel very welcome nothing too much trouble Nice to see lady owner too sorted ideal seating out in just few mins for 10 of us despite being so busy wished lived nearer chez Fred would def visit often

Visiting Westbourne is definitely the place to go for fish & chips. Unlimited double cooked chips. Specials fish board. Free still & sparkling water. Can't reserve a table, but place your name at the door and wait for a table to become free. Also, takeaway available.

Best fish and chips in Bournemouth! Good portions, fresh fish and perfect mushy peas. Can't recommend highly enough.

A great “plaice” to eat.So friendly and welcoming..I always recommend to whoever cares to listen..

Excellent food best chip shop in Bournemouth

Came here on a Friday evening. You put your name down and the kind waitresses will let you know the estimated wait time. We were told 30 minutes but was around 20-25. We ordered the catch of the day and the cod and chips. We ordered some small sides such as peas, pickle bread and butter roll (the latter was forgotten but I won't dwell on that). The food arrived quick and fresh. Up there with one of the best fish and chips I've ever had. The unlimited chips were a bonus. We ordered their choc ice cream because you just can't end a meal without something sweet. Didn't come with my flake but again really happy with the food and friendly service and highly recommend anyone to come here.

Chez Fred in Westbourne, Bournemouth, offers a delightful fish and chips experience that captures the essence of British seaside dining. I was immediately impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable. The fish was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside—and paired beautifully with golden, fluffy chips. The portions were generous, and the meal felt freshly prepared. I also appreciated the option of having sustainably sourced fish, reflecting their commitment to quality. Moreover, I really like its decoration. I would recommend you experience Chez Fred.

Been coming here for at least ten years and the food, service and atmosphere are always great. The best haddock and chips I have ever tasted, anywhere. Hugely recommended.

Probably the best fish and chips I have ever eaten...light crispy batter...flaky tasty cod..fresh chips which were not greasy..excellent friendly service..the fryers were all smartly dressed...I would highly recommend Chez Fred to everyone

Fred wasn't in the night we went (the word was he was having in large with the boys in Zante) but you wouldn't have known it. Served by Amir and trust me he can fry a nice bit of fish. Well done to Fred and the Fish & Chip team, you're putting in quite the shift chaps.

Fresh, delicious, and plenty of food.

Greeted by a lovely lady . She showed us to a table and left menus. We ordered the cod and chips. The haddock and chips. We could see it all being freshly cooked. It was really busy. Fab atmosphere here. Diet coke was flat and tasteless so it was returned and I was given a different coke. Tartare sauce tasted very mayonnaise rather than tartare sauce. Both meals were hot. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend you come here. Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

The service is always friendly and quick and the food is always hot and fresh. It's the perfect local chippy.. Anyone craving authentic, no-nonsense fish and chips when in the area should pop in, it’s become my go-to place when I’m in visiting friends in Bournemouth. Highly recommended!

1st visit to Chez Fred & we’ll be back as both the fish & the service were great

10 out of 10 ..... our go to restaurant in Bournemouth. Stunning delicious generous portions of really fresh fish, delightful staff, great vibrant atmosphere. You can't book / reserve a table - the wait (register at the main desk) is well worth it.

Over priced and under cooked. The food van was a complet mess. With a worker that never washed thier hands, but used a tea towel to clean their hands every time they touched raw fish. The oil was dirty, the chips were greasy and over cooked. I don't think it's worth the price for really bad food.

Sat 14th Sept 2024 Called in at Chez Fred to get Fish & Chips. Service received from Alex.this evening was superb. Thank you Enjoyed the fish supper at the beach ! Chez Fred (take away) was really busy, Alex was excellent (we enjoyed our Haddock & Chips).....Alex went above and beyond after a small issue with our initial order, all resolved professionally and quickly. Julian & Amanda

Excellent food, and the service we received today was exceptional. Highly recommended a visit.

We had the lunch time special great fish cod the batter was excellent super value meal with cup of tea and a roll and mushy peas faultless service from the staff everything came together and was well presented the chips were ok and you can have as many as you want overall an excellent Friday lunch 👍👍👍

Just put a online order in, pick up 5pm, staff are so friendly, efficient and delivered bang on time, so impressed, it reminded me why when visiting this area there is no where else to get your fish and chips…..which were cooked beautifully and the best quality, congratulations to you all 👏👏

Totally lovely meal. Staff great. Had lunchtime special. Queued but only for couple of minutes. Very busy. We travelled the open top bus to get here for our lunch out on recommendation. Not disappointed. Roll butter tea or coffee fish chips mushy peas. Tartare sauce on asking too. Also had portion onion rings just to see if they were as good as we had been told. Yes they were. Cod in batter was the best Ive had in years lovely white flakes crispy batter. Delicious. Chips a tad disappointed colour a little too light for me but tasted ok. Definitely the cod was wonderful. Thanks Chez Fred delightful lunch

The staff is very attentive and professional. They knew how long approximately we would have to wait to be seated based on the amount of people on our table. Service was fast with attention to details. Very friendly people. Recommend to visit. Parking in nearby areas is required as they're located on a busy road. For lunch they have a good deal.

If this is what fish and chips is actually supposed to taste like, count me in. Thoroughly delicious and that's saying something from a non fish eater. And, lovely staff, great service and fair pricing - no tip pressuring either. Wish all restaurants were like this. Thanks Chez Fred!

We were recommended this place and it was so nice ! The staff were really lovely and the food was exceptional! We will definitely return soon 👍

One of the freshest fish and the best and most delicious chips I've ever eaten. You can have a trip to Bournemouth just for this. To my surprise, they even serve alcohol which is amazing. Unfortunately long wait to be seated but it's totally worth it!

Love Chez Fred!! Service always friendly, efficient and welcoming! Had the haddock amd chips as usual, never a disappointment. Decor clean and modern and always busy which they deserve to be!!

Came here based on a recommendation and was not disappointed. Great food and great service, reasonable prices too. Will definitely come back here.

It's probably the best chippie in Bournemouth ..cod is so light and fluffy!!😋

We had a delivery which arrived on time and very hot. The food was well packaged and of he highest quality. Our new go-to Chippy. Thanks Chez Fred.

My sister and brother-in-law visited us from London, and we took them to Chez Fred for lunch on Friday, 30th August. We were warmly greeted by a member of staff (unfortunately, she wasn’t wearing a name badge, but I remember her bright orange trainers) who had a contagious smile and made us feel instantly welcome. Trae served us, and he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and took great care to meet our needs. We were all very impressed with the quality of the food, and Jaz was especially kind, making sure to refill my mother’s coffee. A big thank you to the owner and management for maintaining such excellent quality and value, even during these times of high inflation. Chez Fred, you serve the best fish and chips we’ve ever had!

Amazing food great service. We ordered by calling up in advance for takeaway on a busy Friday night and we got our food in less than 1 minute of the time slot they gave us. But the food was delightful 10/10

Was the best fash and chip shop 20 years ago and still is. Nothing comes close to it.

Loved it. Great staff. Great food. Great curry sauce!!

The friendliest waiters I ever seen.

Great fish and chips, best in town, our waitress Kinga was lovely and very efficient, be back soon!!! Highly recommended!

The BEST fish and chips. Can’t be beaten. Never had a bad meal here. Would thoroughly recommend and can’t wait to return again.

Possibly the best chippy on the planet! Amazing menu with excellent quality food - no fakes and great service

Absolutely superb fish and chips

Lovely traditional fish and chips

One of the best crisp succulent cod we’ve had in a long while, brilliant taste, 5+ star well done

What more can you say but brilliant

Went after reading rave reviews online whilst on holiday with the family. The initial service was great although 30 minutes wait to get fish, chips and peas twice plus 2 battered sausages was a little insane, I appreciate they are busy but in Yorkshire this would never happen. Speaking of Yorkshire, the fish was literally half the size of those I would normally get! All in all really good quality food if you can wait half an hour and order extra to make up for the small size!!

Best fish and chips I had in a long Time. Highly recommended 👌 👍

World class fish and chips, beautiful restaurant and very professional fast and friendly staff.

Recently visited Chez Fred on a day trip to Bournemouth after searching for the best place for fish and chips in town... we were not disappointed! We arrived at around 16:50 on a sunny Saturday, and the restaurant was almost full. We were warmly greeted and given a choice of the available tables (a nice touch!). Once seated we were attended to quickly and put our orders in. The restaurant got pretty busy while we were there, and the takeaway side seemed pretty busy too, but the atmosphere remained pleasant. Our food arrived within a reasonable time and was absolutely amazing! Everything was piping hot. The chips were super crispy and lovely when doused in salt and vinegar. The cod was extremely flaky and meaty, and the batter was wonderfully crisp and not at all greasy. The curry sauce was also very good! We were asked if we wanted extra chips (which are unlimited!) and were happily given an extra bowl. All the staff were super smiley and happy to help, checking everything with our meal was okay partway throught. I would highly recommend Chez Fred to anyone wanting some amazing fish and chips - it is definitely worth the walk away from the main town!

Says online they do best gluten free. But on arriving told this was only available on Tuesdays. I had steamed fish and risked the chips. Mistake. The steamed fish was like rubber as overcooked. I should not have risked the chips...terrible indigestion. Followed by terrible headache and swollen glands.

Trae, Sophie, Jaz, Kinga, Sarah are all really impressive. The food is wonderful, service is outstanding. Such a great team. We come here whenever we visit Bournemouth, and they never fail.

One of the very best chipshops in the whole of Dorset. Always busy and popular, efficient staff, great food, and they offer very affordable pensioner's portions!

I was having lunch with my wife today at Chez Fred, we were welcomed and very well looked after by the people who work there. The food, service and everything in general was excellent. !!!! We will return a hundred times more.

Unfortunately we have had to resort to Takeaways as we now have a puppy called Milo. It is our fave place for Fish and Chips and is truly delicious. We know the staff well and are always welcoming. The staff all want to see Milo now when we visit. A truly lovely tasty experience. Milo loves his Cod too. Addendum 200424. As good as ever. Takeaway again as we had Milo. Sorry he did not say Hello as he was wanting his Mum. Milo ate a lot of Cod tonight. He loves it but not keen on the Chips. He is not a Veggie! See you soon inside without the Dog. 15082024 Still as good as ever. A bit chaotic today due to School holidays but quality is still the best. Why can't every Fish and Chip shop cook Cod like Chez Fred? Nothing else beats the taste of Fred's Cod!

I have been to a lot of fish and chips all over u.k This tops the list !! Must try.

The best fish and chips in the country

Amazing fish and chips, well worth the wait! And a special mention to all the staff who were calm and professional despite the huge queue

Very crowded, but worth the queue.

High standards for a long time. Go there every lunchtime I'm in Bournemouth.

The best Fish and Chips in Dorset. Worth the trip down from London, when in the area to pay a visit. Clean, tasty and fresh fish. Definitely worth the visit when in Westbound. 10/10. Thank you Chez
