Chip N Tails in New Forest

This review is based on my experience on the day and could be different for you, but I doubt it. Superb service from this F&C take away and excellent food to boot to. Called ahead and asked if they cooked Gluten Free on a Saturday - was advised it was cooked Tuesday to Saturday- as one member of our party had an eating disorder. Complied our order and called back a 2nd time and placed the order and was told it would be made immediately. Drove there and collected it after paying. Superb service. FYI- they do not deliver so collection is the only option. F&C was excellent and tasty all found, no complaints and empty plates as was the add on food expected within a fish and chip shop that we purchased. Have to say the Saveloys were superb and very tasty. So to summarise, superb helpful staff, fantastic food, good for people with food allergies, all sorted very quickly Try it you will be back Trudy me on this.

Wonderful fish and chips served in a very friendly and positive atmosphere.

The staff seemed a bit miserable, the food was okay which would make sense as you get what you pay for. All the food tasted oily and the chips were way too salty. Don’t think I will be going back

Oh my goodness!! I have now lived in hollybank for 2 years and stumbled across chip n tails only today! These honestly are the best fish n chips I have had! All cooked fresh and the price was so good!! We will definitely be coming back again!

Brilliant chip shop.... did meals for 16 children and 8 adults on Cub Camp in the New Forest. Adjusted our collection time as had a delay on the road and was ready bang on time. All the food was great, fish, nuggets, sausage, fryits for veggies (went down well) and the chips were great portion size was really good..... will absolutely use again when in the new forest thank you

Great food fish and 3 chicken burgers went down very well with the family with my burger having loads of onions and a great tasting sauce will definitely use again and friendly staff too

Well cooked, nicely served, thanks

We are coming back from a day out in Hythe and we always noticed the fish and chip shop sign on the corner of the road. Today we thought we would give it a go. We were the first customers in at 4:30 pm. Loads to choose from, and smelt amazing. We ordered medium chips,6 nuggets, battered sausage and curry sauce. The man behind the counter was very polite and friendly. He did us a a decent portion of chips for us (family of 3). Chicken nuggets taste amazing!! The battered sausage was well battered, great taste! Curry sauce tasted like a PROPER curry sauce. Delicious. And we managed to eat all the chips! Well done to this place, very good!! Best local chippy in area. We will be coming again. Taz - Marchwood

Steak n kidney with chips fish and chips was BANGING 😎your be there for another 25 years keep frying boys

Crackin' piece of haddock cooked perfectly by Stacey, chips were good too....delicious !!

Always a friendly smile and lovely food!

Excellent Cod and chips, good traditional fish and chip shop

Visited here for the first time today! Fish & Chips (lunchtime special) were lovely, and the server was super friendly and knowledgeable in respect of special dietary needs. Will return and highly recommend.

Small cash only chippy, cheeky staff, lovely grub

Should have on there menu board different sizes off chips . £3.50 I payed cause it was blank after that . Called and was told they do different sizes. I was not offered would been nice to be asked

A decent chippy just a regular chip shop really but good food

Great quality food, pleasent staff and a clean and presentable shop overall. Try the Pollock and Chips it's better than cod .

Friendly welcome and staff and great fish and chips

Nice fresh fish and homemade fish cakes Are Fantastic.....

Excellent fish chips friendly fryer

Good service fresh cooked chips and fish wood recommended if in local area 😋

Big well cooked portions. Nothing fussy, just a simple fish and chip shop.

Good fish n chips including gluten free options. Very big portions!

Chip and tails is FAB! We have had food from here regularly for the past 21 years! It is consistently perfect! The food is not too greasy, it's always piping hot and it's delicious 😋

Enormous portions. And here's a thing, they can do gluten free but you must ask. That's a rare treat. Give them a go.

Always top quality fish and chips...whale and chips my Mum and I call the large haddock as it hangs off the plate!

Always great portion very generous portions. Best fish and chips in the waterside.

Top food and very friendly staff

Great little chippy!! It’s been there for a quarter of a century so they must be doing something right!! The staff are always friendly and the food is cooked to order so always fresh and hot!! It doesn’t matter what you order it all tastes brilliant. They don’t take card payments but I don’t think that should reflect on the quality of food they produce!! Excellent work!! Keep up the high standards 👍🏻

Great fish and chips and service 👌

The very best fish and chips ever

Chips were cold and greasy the pie crust very hard and cold meat in the middle need to get the fryer from Dibden down there to show them how to do it. Had to give one star but its not even worth that

Used every week, (once) it's ok

Just visited for the first time very clean and fish was to order but staff were not wearing masks but made the customer wait outside in the cold The fish was nice as was the batter Light and crispy however the chips were just awful all hard end bits that were inedible and the fish cake was a tad dry and at £1.75 was a complete rip Off. Will not be using this place again

Good fish & chips cheerful staff

Stopped off to chip and Tails on the way home with my friend. We both had a large battered sausage, chips and curry sauce. Freshly cooked to order. The curry sauce was delicious as well. Will definitely be going back!

Cooked while you wait. Very good value

Myself and several family members ordered from here. They managed to get 14 meals done in a timely manner, and all correct! Fantastic tasting food and wonderfully sized portions!

I had Plaice and chips. Superb!

Had a lovely meal fish and chips fresh and tasty. Great service good value for money large portion.

The best Fish and Chips Around the Waterside I use at least once a week cos i am a piggy

Very friendly, great fish and chips but they only take cash payment which isn't something I really carry around with me these days.

Great food, always cooked fresh. the staff are friendly, always there to help. Also do Kids boxes too

This has always been our go to chip shop on holybank & tonight was no exception we always love our fish lightly battered and the two lovely ladies that were there this Tuesday evening are always very friendly and very welcoming , it was delicious , thank you see you soon X

Great chippy friendly staff a d very vood prices

First time tried there fish and chips lovely bit of cod and stunning big portions 😊

Best fish and chips in the New Forest. Nuff sed.

Great fish & chips..... Missed their food so much we drove from Chandlers Ford because we just can't find another Chippy as good; especially as the wife is Gluten free and not many others cater for GF's. The one word review in the title is my 7 year old boys 'Bangin'; says it all. Great friendly staff too. Alli Fry

Great Fish and Chips, it was my first time trying from here. Couldn't fault it. We had a haddock, battered sausage, peas curry sauce, fishcake and large chips between two of us. Not bad portion size and reasonably priced. I will be returning next time i fancy chips !

Good selection of food, great taste, reasonable price and friendly staff. Wouldn't bother going to any other chippys.

Good choice for cheap and cheerful fish and chips

Without a doubt the best chippy around! Generous portions of fresh fish and the chips were perfect... all at a reasonable price.

Great fish and chips - Cant get enough - best in Hythe - best value!

Excellent food and service 10 out of 10👍👍

Really great fish and chips consistently good, something you can rely on.great staff

Had fish and chips last night the best I have ever had would not go to a chip shop due to virus but I was tald they were safe to visit the staff amazing and I felt they did everything to keep people safe Thank you

Excelente comida, excelente valor, excelente servicio, muy recomendable, nuestra primera visita pero no la última, la señora que nos sirvió muy educada sirvió comida muy caliente y muy agradable

Food was good, standard fish and chips, did the job. However, why on earth in 2020 do they not take card payments! We drove down to collect, and with no cash on us as I pay with my card in general. Had to drive to a cash point to get out cash, annoying with four hungry kids waiting for food. Ridiculous.

Pequeña y encantadora tienda de pescado y papas fritas. Lady fue muy amable y acogedora. La comida estaba recién hecha y sabía increíble. Una pequeña joya

Best fish and chips ever, very friendly and quick, you get loads of chips and they are still hot and not a soggy mess when you get home.

Closed at 13.25 on a Fry Day :-) No chips for me, nothing left said the guy, must be a computer error as there was plenty on the hot shelf. Shan't bother in future, back to Holbury Fish Bar, much better food there anyway.

Great choice of menu and chips were great

Always lovely Fish and Chips from here

Large portions very well cooked very good service

Great food at a great price!!! Best chippy in the area won't eat anywhere else. Brilliant staff always helpful and friendly highly recommended them.

Down for the holidays perfect meal lots of choice for the kids would highly recommend

Clean and staff friendly. Prices reasonable. use regularly.

We ordered and collected about 40 meals for our Scouts treat at Summer camp 210 in the new forest. The order was ready on time and the proprietors very helpful in the process. But most Importantly and despite the bulk order, they were some of the best fish and chips We've tasted in a very long time, Would thoroughly recommend !

The best chips we've had in ages will be going back

Excellent gluten free cod and chips

We are from Pembrokeshire (Wales) so we know what a good chippy should be like. We moved here just over two years ago and have tried many of the local chippy’s. This one is the best one we have found and is exactly like the ones back home. The staff are so friendly and fun to chat to when waiting. Prices are good, food is really good. So pleased we found this place!

Good food with entertainment, should be 10 stars

Always good quality, so fresh and the staff are always so friendly and polite. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Great chips and the haddock was amazing. Huge portions as well which makes it good value as well.

Very efficient service and polite staff

Fantastic place with great food... the cod is divine and so good to have them open again.... well worth a visit and especially for the lunchtime special

Always fresh chips and crispy batter. Shame about the fire but open again now. Friendly staff but not sure about the fryers moustache!

You won't find better value or service

Best fish and chip shop in the HYTHE area

Great staff, lovely chips, local info websites including Google have now finally almost correct the opening times but just to confirm: Should be: Tues-Sat 11:30 -13:30, then 16:30 to 21:000 Tues - Thurs, 16:30 - 21:30 Fridays and 16:30 to 20:00. I've tried to edit Google times but Google ignore corrections, Scan of the Menu attached, "Tales 2" is their shop in Dibden Purlieu

Been coming here for years, lovely chips, great fish, chicken, freshly cooked. Very friendly staff too. Opening times on Google and most local trade guide sites are wrong!

Good customer service and the chips and fish are perfect

Friendly staff and good prices for the portions.

lovely food, good portions and great staff what more can I say. A decent chip shop in this area and is very popular

This Chippy has friendly, helpful staff. I had cod and chips and they were lovely, particularly the cod!

Chip N Tails is just down my road and I love it because it is incredibly cheap, has amazing food, a wide range of products on the menu including pies, drinks and fritters. I very highly recommend it to everyone who has a rumbly tummy.

We often get the fish and chips lunchtime 'meal deal' from here- at £3.50 for cod and chips you can't go wrong. The portions sizes are plenty big enough and good quality. Fish portions are massive and taste great. Batter not too overwhelming or greasy like other places. Mushy peas ok, not the best I've had- a little runny, but still tasted really good. We will definitely be back for more soon!

Bought my dinner here last night. As always smiling staff and hot, tasty food. Everything is well cooked and never dry. A recommendable place for sure.

Overall very good with large portions and the fish is always succulent. Sometimes the batter could be a little less soggy but I don't tend to eat that anyway.

Best fish & chips locally. Always fresh and the staff are friendly and cheerful. We go back time and time again.

Hot and fast and served up by great and cheerful staff! Always a high standard of food and preparation. Worth a visit!

Visitamos última noche como miembros de la familia había ido a la zona. Pedí nuestras comidas y recibieron rápidamente. Caminé hasta el coche y nos fuimos a través de mi pedido y me di cuenta que estaba perdiendo partes de nuestra orden. Caminamos por el tiempo que había una cola, así que esperamos en línea que no quería empuje. Una de las chicas que me reconoció y me gritó sobre enfrente de todo el mundo ' ¿qué es' un poco grosero? Entré y me explicó lo que me faltaba y me dijeron que me dieron lo que pedí. Yo le expliqué que no había recibido parte de mi nuevo pero el personal empezó a hablar de mí como si yo no estaba allí! Al final, me dieron el resto de mi pedido y luego ya que estaba a la puerta me dijeron que debería haber pagado!! El servicio de atención al cliente era asqueroso. Mi consejo ... el personal necesario prestar más atención a lo que los clientes están diciendo en vez de hablar sobre el fin de semana con el chef!!!

This 'chippy' and it's sister in Dibden Purlieu produce consistently excellent fish & chips. Always freshly fried . succulent and tasty. I always use these 'chippys' and have never been disappointed.

Very friendly staff and quick service.Never had a bad meal from here and there prices are very reasonable.

Excellent chippy lovely clean premises food cooked to order. Good sized portions. Family run with friendly staff. Recommended

Always use this chip shop which enjoy had a few not so good meals But overall good Last night had best fish ever Staff pleasant won't be going any where else

i admit to getting our fish and chips here more often than i should but their food is just too good! the fish is fresh and you get fantastic portions. when they say a large cod, it is large. the batter is well-cooked and the perfect amount. chip portions are super-generous (and that has never changed in all the years i have been going there) and perfectly cooked, never had a bad chip from there. prices are bang on and worth every penny. can't honestly think of another fish and chip shop that is even half as good!

Best in the area. Seek there two shops out one in Dibden Purlieu and the other on Hollybrook Estate just west of Hythe Centre.

I love this chip shop, it's officially Gluten Free and the menus are available Evenings . My Husband loves the varying menus so there us plenty if choice . Large portions and beautiful fish too .It's a very busy chip shop with a fun atmosphere . The owner recognizes my husband and if at the back if the queue he will pop out and find out what I would like so he can prepare it in a controlled environment . I am so happy to be able to eat a takeaway like everyone else .I would happily recommend thus chip shop

My family live nearby and when we visit at least twice a month we head to Chip N Tails as its got the most delicious fish and great crunchy but thick chips I have had in many a year.... and at a great price too !They will usually give you more chips than you have ordered in each portion.They have a special OAP discount at certain lunchtimes, and my parents often take advantage of this to get their dinner at a cheaper price.
