Deep Blue in Havant

Not a good experience. Chips were solid and felt like they were undercooked and at the same extremely greasy. Did not finish eating. The fish was very dry. Will be finding another fish and chip shop in the area from now on especially as it seems very expensive for what you get.

One of the best fish and chips around.

Great portions size , staff are really friendly and even gave me a recommendation! One of my family’s favourites takeaway would recommend especially if your a local in the area .

Well, I popped into this chip shop for pie and chips. However when I saw how much they where asking for a small pie £4.00. I decided nope, not for me. Then I decided on a large portion of chips. £4.39, well, I stood there waiting to be served. While the young bleached, blonde girl who was originally serving was chatting at the back of the shop with a young lad. I decided to just have chips, because I was hungry. Well after parting with £4.39 of my money, I returned home to eat them. Well, the chips were not the best I've ever had, they where somewhat dry and brown. And with this the chips, where served upto me in a glitzy come tacky cardboard box, with blue ocean printed all over the outside. Now, Blue ocean, can you please justify your extortionate prices. I mean how much does a couple of pealed and chopoed potato's cost cooked in oil? 70/80 Pence ? And as for the little pie, a pound in Iceland or maybe a pukka pie a couple of pounds in Morrisons, but in a bulk purchase from pukka 70 pence to a pound each? Let's face it you know doubt get your stock discounted as do most businesses. So I feel that I am very justified to say. You blue ocean are charging rediculous amounts of money for your goods. That is a whopping, £8.39 for large chips "questionable in size & quality" and a small pie. Really and truly anyone who does actually pass beyond your doorstep into your shop to buy food, has either more money than sense or just needs to wake-up Blue ocean,please please, prove me wrong by criticising the overinflated prices you demand. So prey, tell me, how much does it actually cost for you to create a large portion of chips, and how much do you pay when you buy bulk your little pies? I could continue with your sausages and chicken nuggets, but we'll stick to the costing of pies and chips, just for for now. Oh, I just remembered, how much extra do you charge for that silly little cardboard presentation box? I would prefer to have had my chips in paper and not pay extra for that box. By the way do not ask me to reach out to you on your website, because I won't. Just answer my questions here on your return reply. Personally I don't believe you can justify your prices, so I don't hold up much hope of a genuine answer. But that's fine, I'll keep returning to review you here there and everywhere, until you do or, just stop ripping good people off with your rediculous prices and portion sizes... And don't forget the cost of that customised paint set box, how much do you charge your customers for it. Personally I want all my money back. Especially after reading some of your other negative reviews Aaron, let's face it, you already know how much your actually ripping your customers off. Update... 18/10/24 Well there you go Deep Blewit Fish And Dry Chips. You have now found 5 minutes to reply to my review.... Why? I want my money back, I do not take kindly to being ripped off by anyone, let alone a two bit chip shop. For your information... I have persuaded 4 families to drop you for their fish and chips. Two of the families have been using Deep Blue tacky for years. But hooray not no more. The other two families, have been using you since 2023/4 and all families, agree that the quality of your products have gone down hill, and are asking far to much for your goods. So, once again, I want my money back so get back to me regarding this. And ladies and gents... Please, give this chip shop a ultra wide berth, and use another chippy 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯 Update... I see someone has replied to a recent positive review. So where is my reply, to my questions and grievance??? 11/11/24 Still no feedback from this fish shop. Customer service via Google, is as bad as the quality of service in-store 💯💯

Went there again yesterday, I live in Andover and when travelling to Havent which is a hour away I will always come here. 3 times now and every time the fish and chips are great. I love my fish and chips and I always seek out award winning fish and chip shops. This has to be one of the best.

If you like chips cooked twice and still cold this is your kinda dump and dear for what they sell

Good local chippy, excellent cod and chips. Friendly service.

Went in as I couldn’t order on app, when I got to till to pay I showed my loyalty number but was told don’t know nothing about it. I paid then Sse 2 machines and various posters in the shop about the app. What a joke.

I came into deep blue late this evening and was met with a busy shop, so i was prepared to wait for a while. The young brunette girl with glasses took my order, she was a lovely,respectful girl and made my experience in deep blue enjoyable. what wasn’t so lovely is after my order was taken an elderly lady came in to order. she wanted two small cod’s, but as the young girl kindly said to her “i’m so sorry we are out of cod right now” this elderly woman went on to say how it’s quote “ridiculous that a fish and chip shop is out of cod” given that deep blue was 15 minutes from stopping the cookers. This not only made me feel uncomfortable, but made staff and other customers visibly uncomfortable as well. i found it very disrespectful that this lady thought it would be acceptable to talk to a staff member how she did. other than this issue i have a wonderful experience and the food was 10/10!

After horrible service (2people working there on Bonfire night) and a long wait, I got home to find that my large cod was a small!!! Not returning.

Waited for about 10 minutes for the fish to cook but then it was a really good piece of cod. So it was worth the wait. You can pre order on line.

Food was great quality, great staff and quick service. Will be back. Opening times are also a plus as many other fish and chip shops shut early.

Our company always does special things for most occasion's. Today we celebrated Halloween by cooking the workplace Hotdogs and we went to Deep Blue to also get chips. The service was quick and everyone commented on how nice the chips were. They weren't greasy like some fish & chip places are. We will definitely be going back for more when we have future events

Driver and time no problem burger was solid and portion of chips missing

I was reluctant to come here because of the reviews however since my experience was good I thought I would leave my review. The service was great, it was fast and the staff was nice, the food was good, hot and plenty. And I also saw them prepare a delivery order that was made, packed and straight away delivered which is not something that you can say about many places. A bit on the pricier side but overall a great fish and chips shop.

One regular cod, regular chips and mushy peas. £14.70 - a really small portion of food……. The cod looked like the size of a fish finery and not many chips. I would hate to order a small portion, must be pathetic! Such a shame really as I have read the reviews and most say the same.

I used Just Eat to order a family meal so I ordered 3 large Cod and 2 large portions of chips and 3 large jumbo battered sausages. The cost was an astounding £64 inc service and delivery. So for that price you would expect top quality at around £16 per meal. When the meal arrived we were expecting hot and good quality fish and chips which they advertise But We were horrified to find 2 very small portions of chips which were charged at £5.49per which looked like they had been sat there for hours. Totally dry and cold. Then came the biggest shock of all the so called large Cod. The 3 pieces of cod looked like they had sliced the fish down the middle and given 3 sliver of fish and given 3 halves Instead of full pieces of fish and charged a whopping £12 per fish. Also the fish was cold and not edible. As you can see by the photos attached. These portions were even smaller than the pensioners fish and chips. On top of all this where the fish and chips were cold and not edible all the food went in the bin and we all just had sandwiches and were bitterly disappointed all my guests said I should write an email to Just Eat and ask for a refund so I did straight away. I am waiting for a reply from them. I feel this place is so highly overpriced. Was this just a bad day and I was unlucky? After reading quite a lot of reviews a lot of people are experiencing the same things. If this is happening regularly then they need to look at their prices and portion sizes before they lose a lot of their customers. I have also compared their prices to other local fish and chips shops and the average is Around £9.00 with chips. Theirs Is £16.00 the prices speak for themselves. However If they could deliver good quality and larger portions then people like me would not complain about the price. The reason I gave them an actual star is for the cleanliness of the property but that's It. I just wanted to say following this review I was contacted by customer service from deep blue which was exceptional. They apologised for the bad food and service and gave me a full refund of the food. They contacted me by emails after my review and were totally outstanding. So If you have any issues with your food be sure to know that they will treat you with respect and refund you without any problem after Investigation after they have a copy of your receipt. WELL DONE DEEP BLUE. Special thanks to Christina for keeping me Informed through the Process.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

1 cod missing plus 2 cans of coke and also 2 battered sausage

Overcooked chips, dry and too crispy

Food was pretty much cold , for £22 I expect it to be hot ! Very disappointing

Food was cold Large chips hardly any chips in the box Chips were hard and like rubber

The food was a little cold, but tasted nice.

All was OK except once home my daughter took a single bite of a burger but couldn't bite through it. Rock hard! Good job we bought an extra sausage. Was returned later for a refund but........

I'm from Bournemouth on the way up to Crawley for tough mudder in the morning I love fish and chips but this chip shop looks really clean and tidy but the fish and chips I had were terrible fish over cooked chips stone cold my mate had the fish pieces and halloumi and chips he said it was the worse he has ever had .I have just rung up spoke to the manager he did say if I paid for it by card I could have a refund but I paid cash so he said I can't have a refund I do have server ADHD and bad metal health which has now effected me I won't sleep very well now .but if im ever up this way again i know to stay well clear of this chippy i hate giving bad reviews as i know how hard business struggle these days this is bedhamton shop manager was on his phone all the time .been to the Lymington one in Hampshire 5 stars nothing like this one

Went to get 2 medium cod and chips and got one medium cod and a small haddock and chips and got ripped off and it come to £25

You'll need deep pockets for this place. Went in for a large chips and battered sausage and it was £7.80. I looked in the box to find the smallest "large" chips I've ever seen. Walked straight back inside to be told that was the correct amount. Got a full refund. Went to the Cheeky Chippy and got large chips, cone of chips, large battered sausage, fish cake and a curry sauce for £12.50 The Cheeky chippys cone of chips was larger than their "large"

I received an order with missing items, albeit due to a lack of staff and drivers, but the shop went above and beyond to make sure I received the correct order and even with no drivers brought the food to me at the end of their shift. First-class.

Turner up 2 people waiting ordered my food waited nearly 25 mins for basic fish cake batter sausages chips and curry sauce after waiting soooo long they had got my order wrong no intentions to fix it at all so I ended up with no food but family got there’s I guess and to top it off the curry sauce I watched the lady put in the microwave about 5 nearly 10 mins before I got my order ended up being cold anyway so yeah won’t ever waste my money here again shocking customer service and no coordination between them at all

Order said it would be 25-30 mins. 1.5hrs later no food and they then said there is nothing they can do as they are closing soon. Made to feel like the whole thing was my fault

Don't anger the phone not open at half 4

waited 20 min for fish when we got our food no forks available fish to hot. to eat and chips were reheated so not verry warm.on the wholenot a good experience will give it a miss in future.

Delicious and filling. Came freshly cooked fortunately, as had seen some bad reviews regarding this. Will order again. Would’ve liked some more mushy peas and curry sauce however for £2.49

Lovely fish bites and chips. Take them up, Portsdown hill for a bite to eat, and a view.they do stay warm for the distance.

Great delivery and food was delicious

Portions where fairly small and quite expensive

chip quantity was ok .size of the fish was supposed to be large. at best it struggled to achieve small. very disappointing

Nice chip shop but portions are too small . Hardly give you any chips. Regular is like a small kids portion

Shockingly poor portion size for the ‘regular cod’ ordered. It literally looked like a fish finger! For the price charged it was a spectacular rip off. Won’t be buying from this shop again.

Just got home with my fish and chips, it is the worst that I have ever had. Hardly any chips, the tiniest bit of fish ever and cold.

Excellent fish and chips, cooked perfectly and it's not dripping in oil, definitely recommend 👌

Disappointed with the shop tonight chips were greasy and chewy maybe a change of potatoes not fresh as normal had to wait a while it's ok if chips were fresh giving it a miss for a while ☹

my wife said her cod tasted off and stopped eating it.

Great fish and chips especially for OAP's

poor quality food! worst I've ever had!

Good food,quick service and very friendly. Love the new self service

order delivered 20 minutes later than originally specified but within the revised time.

meal wasn't ready when the app said

Was served by a nice young man called Jack (heard his name). Excellent service, excellent food - most places don’t put a lot of salt and vinegar but this place did and was very happy with that.

tasty fish and chips, crispy fish batter. would order again.

The quality of the food wasn’t too good, the size of the portions were small and the cost of the order was way too much for what we received

ordered cod and chips thought it was fish finger n chips that was delivered, absolutely shocking. won't be ordering again.

food is good, however the delivery driver is very grumpy!

Good food cod could be a bit larger.

We received our delivery of food, by Sonia the Ninja in speed dial. Great service, good food, reliable, portions are great. The best value fast food around

For my dad's 75th birthday celebrations....we ordered for 14 people. The Food was absolutely delicious, fish cakes were lovely, cod was the best he had tasted 🤗 everything was hot and and delivered in good time. Thank you 😊

Food was lovely, however I was waiting over half an hour for a portion of cheesy chips and not one of the workers handling food were wearing a hair net. One of them didn’t have their hair even tied up and one wasn’t wearing a hat! Equally for the amount of time I was there waiting I didn’t see one of them wash their hands once. Such a shame :(

Hate to moan , food was v nice but my large fish was not large in my honest opinion.

Great experience especially when using with the rewards in the app.

Ordered online to be collected. We live 5 minutes away but when we got home the chips were cold. The batter on the fish was soggy and unappetising i used to love their food i wont be ordering again tho

Terrible. my overpriced fish cake was rock hard and had 0 taste. extremely small portion of chips that were over cooked. young lad working there was alright but i cant put the blame on him as this poor quality and small quantities seem to be a recurring problem when looking at other reviews. wont be going again .... cant afford to spend 8 quid plus on food i cant even eat.

Great tasting fish and chips crispy baatter

Very helpful and quick service. Only downside is I thought it was a bit expensive.

Sat in van with cold chips that are hard, a veggie burger that's soggy, fish that hasn't got the salt and vinegar we asked for, minus the curry sauce we paid for. Pretty horrible meal. Can't go back as don't think we'll get anywhere with two young lads serving. Won't go again.

Fantastic food very hot thank you

chips and fish stale and I ordered haddock and got cod and the fish tasted like it had been under heating lamp for a hour . very disappointed

Didn’t even arrive, never got delivered

With not alot of chip shops being open we came to this one, for £24 we got 1 large chips 2 savaloys 1 battered sausage, pie and chicken bites. The pie was nice, the damages and chicken bites were all good.. unfortunately the chips.... they were dry and horrible they had been sat there for a while it was a shame, did feel for the lad working there he was on his own out the front.

Loves a chippy tea but this was AWFUL never ordering from them again!

We phoned through our large order (5 adults and 3 children) and there was nothing missing when we got it home. The battered cod was amazing!

Delivery service. Amazing fish and chips. Highly recommended.

Food was delivered very fast and great service, unfortunately the food was cold on arrival, shame as the food is normally spot on … !!!

The chips were disgusting. Black bits on most chips. Won’t be going back

Excellent outlet to mother Kellys my usual haunt.No internal restaurant only takeaway.Used many times in the past.

10 minute drive away yet took nearly an hour to get here. Rubbish food, not worth £30 for soggy chips, cold nuggets and bland sausage in batter. Rather get a McDonald's next time.

No chips, burgers had no lettuce, tomatoes or mayo, an absolute disaster. I shall not be ordering again and the just eat driver and the deep blue restaurant were no help either.

We have been going here for years. Great food which always has a steady flow of customers in and out the door.

Very disappointed with this place I brought two meal deals cod and chips large yes the cod was large ok but I’ve had more cod in a fish finger the whole thing was batter and very little fish and the chips were covered in salt😡 there only thing going for this meal was the drink which they didn’t mess up £18.99 each. We the people are struggling to get through life as it is and when we treat our selfs we get ripped of by our local chippy I hope they lose there business soon greedy beggers. I should of got some pictures but I was so angry I just threw away😡

Came for a takeaway last night. Food was great but the service and atmosphere was shocking. Older lady was shouting and visibly annoyed about being there and looked to make the younger team uncomfortable. Made the whole experience a bit awkward really…

Nicely cooked tasty fish (cod) and chips freshly cooked with mushy peas. Prices have gone up but that's life at the moment. Blue light discount available and loyalty card help with costs.

Most ridiculously small portion of chips you have ever had from a chippy of you get a smaller portion anywhere in the country and you have proof, let me know and I will send you £50 cash. Unbelievable. Most chippy fill up a big ol bag. You get a tiny box which is like half a portion for your average sized chippy loving male. Ridiculous

Food lovely. But about hour 20 late

Decent food but absolutely awful price that doesn't match the quality.

This ‘meal’ doesn’t deserve any stars - it was terrible. The chips were stale and dry and we threw them away. It was very late and when it arrived it was cold. We tried to phone them several times but they didn’t pick up. This is the third awful meal in a row but there won’t be a fourth because we will never order from them again. Rubbish.

Obviously several deliveries so food was not hot on arrival.

great food delivered fast & hot. loved it.

Excellent Large Haddock and chips with mushy peas...bit too much really we were stuff afterwards very tasty and very hot. Well done.

Great chip shop with very friendly staff

Great food staff always friendly 5 stars 🌟 🤩

Very nice place but food expensive

Food is always great! Slightly more exspensive that other but to it’s worth the extra 🙂

food was lovely and hot when delivered so much there to eat great value for money.

Don't get mugged on the streets of Leigh Park, just go a few yards further to this chippy in Bedhampton to get well and truly mugged off for a few manky chips and a minuscule piece of cod about the size as two fish fingers.. Only twelve chips were actually edible, the rest were scrapings from the bottom of the tray. The cod was supposedly regular size - I think not. Indifferent, surly, snail-pace service along with extortionate pricing left a bitter taste in the mouth and a dejected feeling of the deepest blue...not worth my money and I definitely won't be going back. Avoid.

Very reasonably priced options with more than enough to eat.

We are so unhappy with our food. We are pensioners and this meal cost us a lot of money. The chips were cold and tasted awful. The scampi was barely warm. I ordered my husband a large cod, but he had to take off so much batter before he found the fish ... it definitely wasn't a large cod!

Always great service from deep blue

Microwaved chips & ice cold mushy burger - Paid for 1/2lb and got a quarter. Battered sausages were okay. Not worth over £20 We ended up ordering a box of mcNuggets elsewhere for a fraction of the price and shared that instead. Will not be going back.

Came in tuesday (on halloween). The place was packed since they had a 'free chips' offered for anyone in a costume so it did take quite a while for me to get my order in. Food was really nice and was served by a lad named Austin, he was super kind and gave me a recommendation on what to buy (couldn't decide between chicken nuggets or the southern fried chicken nuggets). Would recommend :) also bigup Lin’s cooking

the food was really good. i was served by a lovely girl mollie who was very helpful and friendly. i would 100% come here again
