Daniels Fish & Chips in Weymouth and Portland

I ordered fish and chips other night don't normally go there as there chips go chewy. But was let down by codfather . Waited nearly 40 minutes for fish and chips . They kept taking orders instead of doing orders that been placed and they were doing the orders of the ppl that came in last . While 5 of us were still waiting . Won't be going back

I ordered fish and chips, and they charged me £5 more than the actual price stated on the menu. I didn't realise until I was already far away, so I didn't bother going back. It's pretty poor standard and clearly intentional from the way it was done. Won't be going back

Absolutely loved the food Friendly Staff Great Fish, be back soon

Rang a delivery 1st order came wrong rang up tried to tell me they hadnt charged me for chips (have receipt to prove) then sent replacements for what was wrong for it still to come wrong tried calling back no answer second time ordered second time disappointed

Lovely food, great service. A little wait but food cooked fresh so well worth the wait every time! Had the fish recently seems they are even better than normal! I think everyone has different tastes with food, but never been let down yet!

Be prepared for a very very long wait. Waste of time on Friday night. Not worth it.

Awful experience. It took 48 mins to serve 10 people. Servers prioritising telephone orders. Chaotic service, no apologies. I’d not recommend this place Salty Towers = Fawlty Towers Should have known Sybil! Help!

This chip shop is very nice, clean, staff very helpful and pleasant. It's well worth a visit as they sell all sorts.

Freshly cooked Fish and chips to order. Worth calling order through, as made to order

Really enjoyed our meal, so tasty, just what the doctor ordered... Happy tummy 😋

We’ve noticed a real improvement in the quality from Salty Towers over the last year or so. Very tasty chips, lovely curry sauce and amazing pea fritters!!

The fish and chips deal is great value and always delicious 😋

Where to begin. . Food turned up late and cold … brilliant. . Fish that came wasn’t our order but was the most delicious item of the order after popped into the air fryer…. Which by the way if you have a decent takeaway delivery service food will turn up hot so there would be no need to do this …. No gravy and no pickled onion no cheese on my chips even though we ordered and paid for these items…. There was more meat on my boyfriends little toe then on the chicken wings… I used these as the other one I was using food was always cold… I think I may just have to cook it myself from now on or go to Poole for food as round here the food has just gone to rubbish.

Dear oh dear. Awful, pale, soggy & flabby fish and chips. May have been the worse we have ever eaten. Broken fryer? Um… the mushy peas and tartar sauce were nice, and ready before collection time.

Best fish and chip shop in Dorset.

A lovely fish and chip shop with a super friendly owner. We were visiting for Bank Holiday weekend and ordered a lot of food and it was all made to order and was hot and fresh. Delcious homemade tartar sauce too!

Chips were lovely, fish not nice at all,extremely greasy, texture not right and not sure it was even cod as ordered so wouldn't go there again.

Decided this Monday to get a take away didn't fancy fish and chips so ordered an American Hot dog(if that's what you called it) with chips, it was Just a ordinary sausage shoved in a bun with plastic cheese and onion and ketchup (google what an american hot dog is)it was ⁹ also cold will only use again for Fish and Chips in the future mind you they are hit and miss depending on who's working...

Wow. Arriving late on a Monday into Portland, there's not many options, and we saw this place's name and had a chuckle and thought, "how can you go wrong for some decent fish in a seaside resort close to docks". Well. You absolutely can. Firstly, the staff were terribly inattentive, there was no one in the shop waiting, and it still took over ten mins to order, as when they finally emerged, they were tending to an online order. The wait for the food was inexplicably another 20 mins after that. The chips were over fried and hollow, yet managed at the same time to be soggy, the fish was grey (obviously NOT fresh) and also managed to be cold, which was also mind boggling. Portion sizes were also tiny. One plus, however, the tartar sauce was nice. Hence the 1 star. Avoid. There's a reason this place isn't on TripAdvisor, and the Facebook review page is a heavily curated echo chamber. Honestly Salty Towers, get your act sorted out.

Really good selection of food types, not just fish and chips. Burgers, Veggie options etc. Haddock was spot on and chips, massive portion and nice and crispy. Will be back, and they are also award winning 😉. Add to that, friendly staff.

I usually feel bloated after take away fish and chips but these were lovely, not at all greasy. Proper chips as well

Hoping we just came on an off night. We were so excited for a chippy dinner while on holiday especially with the awards this chip shop has got. unfortunately all of it was pretty average and the fish was thin , not flakey and the batter greasy.

Best fish and chips I have tasted in a long time! Beautifully cooked chips the fish was freshly cooked. Looking forward to trying more from the menu. Can order in advance, can have it delivered, but we are lucky enough to have the place 2 minutes away. They have won an award for 2023 and well deserved, I would definitely recommend.

Chips are very nice here. Fish needed a bit longer and the tt sauce was predominantly mayo. But staff are nice enough and the service was spot on. My friend had the burger and said it was lovely. So I'd probably have the burger & chips next time. Thank you.

Delicious food, not greasy at all…there was a mix up with my order but a quick phone call and everything was sorted quickly, really helpful, friendly lady who dealt with my enquiry, would definitely recommend.

OK chip shop, should be open longer

Great fish & chips one of the best in the Weymouth/Portland area.

No wonder this business was nominated and won the best fish and chip shop in Dorset in Englands Business Awards. The takeaway fish and chip meal was definitely the best we have tasted on Portland. A care - quality - service in presentation and delivery.

Proper chippy with proper fish and chips.

Chips, large battered sausage and curry sauce. This was a great little find and I will definitely be going here again. The food was great and surprisingly not dripping with oil. The curry sauce was good too.

A take away for fish & chips, burgers and chicken nuggets. The store makes a good impression but nothing stunning. The service was very nice and understood my English well 😂 Food was prepared fresh and quickly. Fish was very good, fries were a bit too soggy for us but still good. Price was completely ok (£8.50) per portion, which was very generous for 'regular'. Card payment was no problem.

Perfection! Amazing service, great portion sizes and quality of food. Fully recommend 5*. Best we've had!

Tasty food fish was crispy and chips and curry sauce was nice And the delivery driver was nice,friendly and fast I would recommend this place to friends and family

Popped in tonight because I'm too lazy too cook! Greeted buy a super polite young lad at the counter really friendly got my order In no time at all! Food is delicious and was fast too really hit the spot! Portions are really good too! :)

Always really freshly cooked , chips really 😋. Batter very crispy 😋 👌. Lots if choice even the cheaper option of pensioners fish n chips. Highly recommended 🤩

Rex served us with a smile and the cod and chips Were lovely Thank you

Portion size is pathetic, especially for the price. There are far better options on the island, don’t waste your money.

Ordered ahead. Very busy but order was ready at about the right time. Everything was a good temperature and tasty when got it back to the house. If ordering the chicken nuggets - they come UNDER the chips (a regular clarification we were told!) Meal deal fish was good value but the tartare a tad sharp for our taste. The portion size was excellent. Kids chips were sizable so could easily feed a pre-teen rather than the 5 yr old in tow.

Had a lovely burger from here this week. Was so impressed to find somewhere doing proper meaty burgers in the day time. Fast delivery. Lovely food and even custom made to my preferences. Friendly staff and good prices.

If you want hollow chewy chips, dry bread rolls and chewy chicken nuggets then this is the place for you. Can of Rio was our best purchase. Nothing fresh about the chips, won’t be going back ever again. Unclean interior, our gut feeling was to not go in, wish we’d followed our instinct.

Great chips and amazing hot dogs.

Fish is lovely. Chips are horrid. The ladies behind the counter are not friendly at all. Maybe they can read this and re think their customer liaison strategies.

Lovely fish and chips.Plenty and very tasty. Well worth the ascent from Chiswell.

Really tasty, crispy fish and chips cooked to order. We came on Saturday night at peak time so it was quite busy and our order took 20 minutes. Would definitely go again. Staff were very pleasant. Prices were good value for what we had.

We are locals and drive past 3 other Fish and Chip shops to go to Salty Towers Jo the fryer produces the best fish and chips in all of Weymouth and Portland We order in advance by phone and its ready and waiting for us when we arrive. We recommend Salty Towers to all our friends, try it for yourself!

Not my favourite chippy on the island. Takes a long long time to get your order. And it's mediocre. As for the daytime lunch service sandwich place...ordered 'Nutella waffles' and they were chocolate toaster waffles from lidl! 😳 never again... And beware their (tuna at least) panini comes with some sort of tomato purée spread inside and it makes it soggy and not tasty..

Lovely food, great value for money and very friendly staff. All in all, a 5 STAR RATING!! 🐟🍟😁😁😁

First & last time of ordering from here. We had a very basic order mainly consisting of chips, fish & hot dog but had to wait 40mins for food. When we first arrived no one in store and seem to be no ordering being prepared so no warning of a long wait for food yet it seem people who showed up after us and order seem to be leaving before us. When asking about our order after 30mins was folding there was a lot of order before mine and that they had to cook everything but 40mins for fish and chips REALLY !! To top it off when we eventually got our food we then had one of the staff members chasing down the road as they haven’t packed half are order and still when we sat down to eat there was still stuff missing from are order. The food was average taste and the large cod chips portion size was like a kids portion. I’ve never seen staff member so chaotic and organised watching serve up chips into box then tip them back into the fryer and completely understand the mistakes and speed of order be prepared. Always wanted to try the Chippy but wish I read the reviews before I ordered cause they all seem completely accurate based on my own experience

The cod was good, the chips weren’t great, with a few half frozen. It definitely wasn’t worth £9 but I could have overlooked all of that if the customer service had been acceptable. Unfortunately, we caught them on what seemed to have been a busy evening (although there were only 3 other customers waiting at the time). There was a lovely woman serving us, who seemed nervous but was very polite, she did get a 2/4 of our orders wrong but was very apologetic. The problem, was the owner of the business throwing herself around the shop manically, shouting at not only her staff but also the customers. I wasn’t surprised the poor till lady messed up a couple of times, i would’ve too with all that aggression! The owner was abrasive and intimidating, even the other customers were looking at each-other in shock. She was complaining about having to come into work on her day off, shouting at the staff that she was suspicious customers hadn’t paid, and extremely demanding of us to explain the mess up of our orders when we were served the wrong food. I definitely will not be going again, and i’m appalled that someone who owns a business can be that unaware of how she’s coming across. There is a difference between managing somewhere strictly & efficiently and managing somewhere rudely, causing issues with the food and shouting at customers.

Food was horrible caught buying cheap chicken nuggets for the kids meal compered to the chicken breast chunks that it used to be. the fish was all mushy and beer battered onion rings were not beer battered

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews. We ordered a regular cod with a side of fries of 4 people and it was great! All fresh and piping hot, portion was well enough for each person, can't imagine what the large portion is considering how good the regular was. Recommended if you're staying in Castletown and can't afford one of the restaurants around.

First and last time of ordering from here. Order food to be delivered and only half the order came. Rang up to tell them spoken to female was then passed on to another female saying she had done the food herself and I said we'll it not been delivered must be left on the counter. She said it's not left on the counter did not like her attitude I was getting. She took my phone number then said she will ask the driver and ring back. She rang back and said sorry order on its way. When it arrived fish was tasteless and did not taste right at all. Ordered this as it was national fish and chip day and was very disappointed.

We ordered fish and chips , scallops and curry sauce , Chips were very dry as if they had been standing for a long time or the lunch time chips reheated , The batter on the fish and scollops was very thin and tasteless . Overall just ok

When thinking about ordering from here. I had too look at the back of the shop, as it’s open. They have large rats running around the court yard, bits hanging out of bins and the smell absolutely gross. Have personally seen at least 3. Would never eat here based on these facts.

Had my first and last experience of Salty Towers last week, a mixture of chewy and crunchy chips - so crunchy they could break teeth! Very cheap but I guess you get what you pay for!

Great fish and chips. Very friendly.

Ok so this is a bit mixed. Went on a Tuesday and it was absolutely stunning. Great fresh fish and chips, generous portions and a good price. But Friday they were working really hard and service was slower but understandably so, but the fish was a little dryer and the chips not so good. A pity because I thought they were great earlier in the week.

Wonderful haddock and chips, as usual.

Greasiest fish and chips I have ever had

I think it may be a new business for them but they did produce very nice fish and chips thank you

Food deliveried quickly by a friendly driver. Jacket potatoe wasn't very nice and hardly any 'filling',paid £1.50 for cheese and beans and the cheese was rubbery and only seemed to be a couple of spoonful of beans - most of it ended up in the bin as so dry. A bit overpriced to be honest. Sausage roll was ok and son enjoyed the bacon roll but won't be ordering jacket potatoes again 😢

Food is cooked when ordered so it can be a bit of a wait especially when ordering a lot or with a large group however the staff are lovely the food is very nice and the portion sizes are generous, a nice little touch they have is the presentation of food comes in small boxes really appreciated that

Best burger on portland! Seriously just hed the black and blue burger from here and it is the best burger I have eaten on Portland for years. Great chips as well and great prices. Thanks Salty towers

Really enjoyed fish and chips from here. Staff were very friendly we had a laugh with them.

I order there steak burger when I eat here but every time I ask for no salad or sauces on the burger but every time I get salad and sauces on the burger and it get very frustrating

Ordered via their app at 6.30pm. Received an email confirmation stating delivery would be at 7.20pm. We waited and waited and waited! At 7.50pm I began trying to contact them by phone but the phone just rang endlessly. I kept trying until 8.10pm when I messaged on Facebook to cancel the order. Now to wait for a refund! Absolute joke!!! If you can't deliver food, don't take people's money, simple really.

Utterly useless. Slowest fish and chip shop ever. Learn to fish and do it yourself for a quicker meal.

If i could score as zero I would I live locally attempted 2 times prior to today to be told it was an hrs wait with no queue I might add as they had phone orders so they couldn't cope with both walk in and delivery..... Today I needed a quick tea as working myself self employed I ordered my food nearly an hr later I enquired how much longer it would be .. I only ordered 1x fish and chips and pie on its own... not a huge order or difficult ... I was told they were waiting on the pie which was only being put in the microwave as I asked ... 1st issue with me having worked in this particular area myself no communication no urgency.. The lady behind me then enquired about her order she wanted plaice to be told.. oh just waiting on the plaice it's going in now 🙄 45 mins people why are you not more organised no food made no communication how you hope to run a business bemuses me .. The food we rcvd bearing in mind cooked to order was in part frankly horrendous over cooked crispy scraps of chips. I'm local never again I'd rather drive to Weymouth it would be quicker and a damn site better... You seriously need to look at youre working practices as you are well short of delivering anywhere near a good service

Just had some sausage & chips... worst chips I've had.. all dried out, won't be going back again

Large fish - Not big enough for a child 2nd time this has happened now. Large fish ordered (see picture) I cut it in half to show you how much 2 adults had to eat between them....yip it was like eating a large sardine each.. I saw other comment about the shop saying the fish was thicker than usual. Sorry are we the thick ones ? My fish would have needed to have been 3 to 4 times thicker than it was to have then been classed as a large fish. I think that this is one for trading standards because definite wrongful description here!

Popped in today while on holiday in the area, 4 lots of fish and chips freshly cooked 👍🏼 Definitely worth a visit, and love the name 😉

Waited almost an hour with a group of friends. Chips were dark brown and tasted weird. They said they had a problem with their chip fryer! You're a chip shop! Sort it out! Won't be back.

Waited 40 minutes for a portion of chips and a battered sausage. There was only 2 other people in the shop waiting so not sure why it took so long. We were planning to take our food to the lighthouse and watch the sunset and we missed the sun setting because the food took so long. Chips were okay, however we'd asked for salt and vinegar and couldn't taste anything on them. Won't be coming back.

So disappointing. I really don’t like writing a bad review but no choice really. Ordered a large cod and large chips. When I got home it looked like they had made a mistake as it wasn’t really even a normal size cod. I did phone the chippy to say that the cod didn’t look very big and was told it was ‘thicker ‘ than a normal portion. It wasn’t. I split it with my wife, we had a couple of fish finger size portions of fish. Not long moved here, where we lived before, if you ordered a large cod, we would struggle to finish it between us. God knows what the size of a normal cod is. Will be trying a different chippie on the Island

The freshness of the salad, quality of the meat and flavours in the Salty's Pizza Burger are outstanding. I am definitely coming back. Highly recommended, you really must visit. I am a genuine customer and bought food here for the first time today (27-02-21)

4.30pm on a Sunday, perfect service, perfect chips

First time ordering tonight. Ordered the veggie burger, packed with salad, and most importantly tasted great! Will definitely get food here again. Great service!

Always provides value for money and very tasty

Not very good chips they are under cooked

On holiday and with wet and windy weather decided to order a delivery, food was very nice, but it was over an hour to wait and arrived 10 mins outside delivery estimate and didn’t pay attention to the £7.20 delivery fee, this is double anything we have paid before and we live in London! Will not be so lazy next time and save ourselves the fee.

First time at Salty Towers but won't be the last. Fish lovely, batter lovely, chips lovely. Very impressed and arrived on time. Thank you

Refusing to serve local customers because you are too busy with ‘Just Eat’ online orders is disgraceful.

Excellent Fish and Chips. Mushy Peas could be fresher. Server was a bit grumpy!

Lovely fish and chips. Nice crisp batter. Good portions and friendly service.

I came across them near to the new coop supermarket at Chickerell and treated myself to some rare ( for me ) fish and chips. I wasn’t disappointed, very fine indeed I may be tempted again when I pass this way. The staff were cheerful and efficient and the place was scrupulously clean, thanks and well done guys.

Disgusting staff in this branch, hung up on me several times

Staying in Fortuneswell and saw this place along the main street. 3 of us had Cod & Chips - beautifully cooked and pretty big portions too. Very good value. Service good and friendly as well

Three of us ordered cod and one had the haddock. Hot, fresh and very tasty. Piping hot chips. We took them for a wander, watch out for seagulls who seem to know how good the food is from here!

We were able to preorder our fish and chips, which reduced the waiting time. The haddock and chips was absolutely gorgeous and piping hot by the time we got it back home.

Food quality is top notch and rightly so.... It's by the sea! But the prices are atrocious

Great good quality food and staff

Food was excellent BEST fish and chips in Dorset

Have been before and it has been good. But staggered that having travelled to get there (and parking in Fortuneswell is no fun!) they were closed... at lunchtime... on Saturday... in June. Extremely odd business model. Maybe they are resting so they can deal with the hordes of visitors they get in November!

Rip off "large portion of chips" for £3.20, was the smallest portion I have ever seen and nothing special. Never going back here. 29 May 2019.

Very good, freshly cooked, better than one of the local pubs

We were down for the weekend visiting family, we had a variety of different food from the shop, including cod, calamari, sausage and chips. Their home made tarter sauce is seriously good. The ladies serving we're so friendly and the food was all top notch, best fish and chip shop I have had food from!

Chips. Good. Fish. Good. Size discrepancy. Ordered a large. Told the tiddler being offered was a large. It was the same size as the regular! Sold on weight we were told. Again, some discrepancy as the reg nxt to it was the same size! Being British, we grumbled to ourselves, thanked the server and enjoyed our 'large' fish and chips...

Fish is superb, chips are another matter. I ordered a small portion for £2-10 and got exactly 21 chips.!.!. When I suggested that was insufficient I was ignored with a shrug of the shoulders.

Phoned an order through to be picked up at 6 pm and didn't start cooking until turned up at 6 useless go else where I

Expensive but nice fish and chips
