Esplanade Fish Bar Iow in Isle of Wight

Lovely fish and chip batter not greasy chips perfect and arrived piping hot I grandson had jumbo sausage and chips also absolutely delicious would recommend them all day long and will ordering from them again

I had plaice & chips and it was really nice. Crisp batter that stayed crisp all the way until I finished the plaice.

Absolutely splendid. Stopped in for a seriously needed refuel after we had ridden around the island. Fish some of the best I've had, light crispy batter, not at all greasy, fish inside cooked but still moist and flakey. Chips good and big servings of mushy peas. I suppose some people might not like paper plates and wooden utensils, but those are ultimately more hygenic anyway, was absolutely fine for us. (portions in picture already partially eaten!)

Got plaice and chips back in September to take away. Bloody delicious 😋😍

Straight off the ferry to here and boy what a great chippy. Fantastic feed for the 6 of us. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service highly recommend

Fantsaci fish and chips good friendly service shame im only here for the weekend cos I'd eat here everyday and great prices too

Really nice and affordable fish and chips with generous portions. I went all three nights that I was on the island. Saeed was also super nice, and I enjoyed chatting with him.

Michelle was great Great customer service really helpful 💯💯💯

Cold cheese on chips x2 And a loaded frys which is cold cheese on chips with cold chicken bits on the top! You decide!

Staffs are very rude. They don't care about customer satisfaction at all. If there were negative score I would give them that.

Nice place with great fish and chips . Drinks were cold and location was good on the seafront. Hot food and seating inside and out .

Quite possibly the most bland meal I’ve ever had from a chip shop. I got the loaded chips and it tasted if absolutely nothing at all. The chap serving was polite enough, but the food was not good at all.

Amazing food best I had on the island must try 😋

Lovely Fish & Chips. Food was perfect. Had cod & chips and jumbo battered sausage and chips with curry sauce. All perfect. Service was good too. Very polite and done the simple things right which is hard to find now. Will be back soon

Wow !!! What amazing F and C !!! Delivered got, fresh and so well wrapped. Garnished with sliced lemon, with a small pot of tartare. Fantastic!!! Highly recommend.

Lovely food. Great service. Enormous portions. Say no more!

Excellent fish and chips! Could not have wished for more.

Our favourite fish and chips! Whenever we have fish and chips, we always come back to the Escalade fish bar. The owner and staff there are very friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The place is very clean and modern looking inside. Their food is always freshly made. The thing that is very important to me is that the oil the food is cooked in is changed on a very regular basis. If you’ve been to a chippy that doesn’t change their oil often you can taste it! Thankfully here they frequently change their oil. They make their own tartar sauce and it’s so delicious that my brother and I always get quite a few pots, that’s how good it is! The price is very reasonable in my opinion. I have heard some people say that this place is slightly more expensive, but I have to say it’s worth every penny as they make things fresh all the time! I like how their carrier bags are paper ones as this is environmentally friendly. I know we cannot completely avoid plastic use but the fact that effort is being made to be a little environmentally conscious it’s a plus from me !

We had fish and chips from here last weekend and can honestly say it was the best I’ve ever had! Loved the fact that they provided a tub of garlic dip and wedge of lemon. We’re going again tonight!

Just had two very large medium haddock from here with chips. Also came with lemon slices and tartar. Very tasty, hot and fresh. Delish!

We had an amazing meal at the Esplanade Fish Bar in May 2024 - the fish was a very good size with tasty batter and really good chips, nice and dry, also good sized gravy and mushy pea pots, really good value. The staff were very friendly and it was nice to sit in and watch the world go by while we enjoyed our fish and chips. We would certainly return here.

First time at this fish bar. Really really nice. And love the fact they deliver and that they open late. Food was great size portion and less than 20 for 2 adults eating Would highly recommend.

Probably the best fish & chips in Ryde this is the second time I've eaten here. The fish is perfectly cooked, NOT swimming in oil like some other establishments in the local area. We had a large Cod & Chips and a Light bite, it was perfect! Just the right size for both of us. Everything is cooked to order

Visited on 11th April for the first time (still trying to find a good light crispy batter, if you get this right customers will be queing out the door. I'm sad to say the batter yesterday was brown on the outside yes, but too thick to be cooked and soggy like pudding underneath and sticks to the fish 😏 it's a shame because you have a very clean and presentable fish Bar in a prime location good staff and great service !! ☺️ But your batter is too thick ! It needs less flour more water (no milk) and plenty of whisking to get the air into It to make it crispy , then just a dip and let the excess drain off. Just my Northern opinion 🤔 where crispy batter means the difference between a good batter or a pudding batter. I know getting the batter right is not easy but when it's right it's amazing 🙏

Friendly staff and the fish was really fresh. Chips were some of the best we’ve had in a while, perfect balance of soft on the inside and crispy bits. Highly recommend, will be back! :)

Great service always meal are great

Chips were ok, bit bland and very hard with a lot of brown spots on. The saveloy had virtually no seasoning and was the blandest I've ever had. Jumbo battered sausage and battered cod were really underdone, the batter was light and soggy. Considering the prices and the nearby competition, there are far better fish and chips shops than this one.

Good value for money. Decent portion. Freshly made. Fish and chips. Chips and battered sausage. Great customer service.

A great place to get some fish and chips. Half of my family are coeliac and unfortunately could not eat here. However, the food was great and freshly cooked. The man at the counter was polite and friendly too. The portion was decent. I had a small fish and chips and the fish for £6 and it was a good portion.

Ordered Fish & Chips for the family in January 2024. everything freshly prepared and the fries very well fried separately from the fish. as it should. friendly staff and it tasted very good. next time..

Chips absolutely disgusting only thing was good was the battered sausage

Lovely !! Best fish + chips in a very long time. Crispy chips, large fish fillet, freshly cooked as requested. Not greasy at all. Great location on beach front. Great value a fresh tasty classic on a visit to Ryde + certainly worth a return!!!

Food here was incredible,fresh,tasty,hot,delicous and served in a timely manner. Service was excellent, very friendly...will be back again

Chips was OK but my plaice had more batter than fish and was very greasy we didn't feel it was good value for money

Very good fish. Will definitely buy again

Food was excellent and there was lots of it, prices are very reasonable one of the best fish and chips and battered sausage we have tasted would highly recommend it.

Visited half four on Friday afternoon 13/10/23. Polite friendly guy working the counter. We had cod and chips and cheeseburger and chips. Fish was piping hot and tasty and the chips were good. Burger was good too.

Possibly the best fish and chips we’ve had for a long time. Godfather closed next door so gave this place a try and I’m so glad we did! Fish cooked to order absolutely delicious, chips were great, will deffo go again!

Poor quality burgers with high prices

was really really yummy, the best fish I've ever had and that's not an exaggeration

Oh My Gosh - I am well impressed with this chippy. Purchased sausages in batter and large chips this evening to take away and even though I live at least 10 minutes walk away they were still lovely and hot when I got home and dished up. My husband whom is very fussy when it comes to chips gave a massive 👍 and said would definitely purchase again. Very clean premises. Nice Chippy ~ Nice Staff and Very Nice Food. xxx

Dreadful set of options for vegans and vegetarians. You'd think for a new establishment opened in 2023 they could chuck a veggie sausage on the menu! Only option is an overpriced vegetarian burger... Hmmm...

I popped in to this place as I work locally and decided to give them a try, I returned my chips as they were cold. I explained to the manager I had just purchased them and the young lady that served me confirmed that but manager insisted I had NOT just been in and basically refused to give me money back. After a few words exchanged he reluctantly gave me the money back. I realise now why the one next door was much busier nicer fresh hot chips. I wish every new business owner all thre very best but I am afraid with an attitude like his he will go nowhere! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE……

Beautiful battered mars bar. Lovely gentleman running the counter. Excellent service. Pristine venue, very clean.

My partner got cod and chips other day and was fine but I just went to get plaice and chips takeaway and batter was overdone crisp to the point of shattering when cut into it and hollow until got to mushy plaice in middle, might have been a one off but quite honestly with all the choice of other places esp the one at the start of the esplanade next to Long John's which is superb imo, I won't be trying them again, cooked something else when I got home so £10+ wasted..

Best one in ryde star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tried as the estamblished chippy next door had just closed, 8pm so fair enough. You want to dislike this place for opening next door to a chippy, but hard to argue with the quality of food. Ordered Cod and chips with mushy peas. Fish was fantastic. Absolutely huge and good value given all fish prices are high, £7.50 Cod, £10.50 Cod and chips. Batter is slightly firmer looking but not stodgey and light to eat, fish was perfectly cooked and juicey (not many get this right), skin on thick Cod fillet, maybe 35cm long! Comes with home made tartar sauce and lemon, which was great and very fresh. Peas great too. This will be our new first choice chippy. Only note would be it's probably a tiny bit cheaper to order 2 Cod and 1 large chips vs 2 combos, but if you are eating on the beach, save yourself the hassle. Fish is huge so you won't want loads of chips.

So clean Friendly service Best chips I’ve had Definitely 1000% better than next door
