First Plaice in East Dorset

We bought some Fish & Chips from here in September after a day out. First time we have used this takeaway and we were not disappointed. Fish cooked to order and the chips were dry, crisp on the outside and soft in the centre. Can’t remember having chips like this for a long time. Delicious and when around we will definitely go back,

Just arrived on holiday and popped in for sausage and chips take away. Very disappointed to get back to holiday home, tired and hungry, to find whole thing wasn’t cooked properly, especially the sausage, very undercooked! Couldn’t eat it, and had to start cooking at 9pm! Wasted time and money!

Highly recommend, food was amazing portion size was good, I ordered a large cod and chips and 2 jumbo sausage. The shop was very busy but it’s definitely worth the wait.

Been a few times now and always had extremely good fish and chips. Very good size portions and always lovely and hot. The staff are very friendly and service is fast.

Crispy and well fried fish. It is huge and delicious. The chips are homemade style. They are large portion. It is highly recommended to dine in or to take away for the meals.

Love the fish and chips in First Plaice as the cod and batter melt to the mouth with generous portion of chunky chips. Highly recommended!

Great service and great tasting fish and chips

I have been going here for years, (whenever I am back in the area). It is consistently the best fish and chips I've had anywhere and unbeaten for quality, value (the large cod is LARGE) and service.

Very good food and very friendly people

Went here today and had a fishcake and chips......food was lovely and the two young men who served me were very friendly and polite.......highly recommended...😊

Decided to close on Saturday night even though it said on the website it was open. No way to run a business. As this is not the first time came over to find out it was closed, doubt I'll bother again.

Their fish and chips are the absolute best. The batter is thin and crisp, chips large and fluffy. Very generous portions too.

Lovely team, lovely food. Best in Ferndown by far!

Brilliant! Cod and chips were cooked to perfection.

Lovely fish and chips. Cooked to perfection, not oily or greasy. Good value for money….. actually the food portion was a bit too much!!… we were stuffed after eating cod & chips!!!! Highly recommended.

Wonderful fish and chips. Good quality, cooked in clean oil, not greasy, and good portions for the money. Staff are warm and friendly, and the shop is clean and comfortable. I will continue to use.

Always had good service from First Plaice. Food is good, prices are fairer than some other local chippies.

Best fish and chips in ferndown in my opinion, very competitive prices and friendly staff.

Excellent fish and chips not greasy cooked fresh.

First Plaice in my opinion is still the best fish and chips shop in the area. I use the one near Tricketts, the one in Westmoors and the one at Parley Cross as a comparison. The only improvment I would suggest is crisping the chips up more. Tonight mine looked quite anemic. Tbh the only place i've found does decent chips is the forum frier in Blandford. Aside from that - I had cod. Batter decent and light. You dont get that heavy feeling like some shops. It's decent but please sort out the chips ✌️

Great food as always. Great delivery. Only downside is it is open more days! Best fish n chips in Ferndown for sure. Thank you

Our favourite Friday night take out!

First time using, and would use again. Best since moving to the area.

Brilliant this is my local chippy won't go anywhere else excellent portions quality food lovey chips best ever fish is also always large and very tasty recommend 😋

Very polite . We bought for 5 adults and 1 child. The food was very well cooked and not greasy. The service was quick when you take into consideration it was all cooked to order. Very good and polite service. Would recommend to anybody. Thank you First Plaice

Good fish and chips, very polite and clean.

i go here every friday and the workers are very polite and friendly. the food is very tasty and the portions are extremely generous.

Had home delivery of Fish & Chips plus fishcakes, pea fritters & breaded mushrooms. Everything was delivered within 20 minutes, all piping hot. The cod was chunky with fantastic light batter and the chips were perfect. This is by far the best fish and chip shop I have ever used and with home delivery available it is fantastic service from all the staff who are always very friendly and helpful.

Best fish n chippy dinner ever . Passing through on way back to London with family, stopped here for a spot of dinner. Absolutely blown away by the quality, portion sizes and efficient service. Can safely say the best fish n chips we have had anywhere !! and believe me I've tried alot of places.

Excellent plaice and chips. Lovely light batter and chunky fish. Best fish and chips locally. Excellent value.

Ordered by phone ,told would be 35mins.Arrived and food not ready.Had to wait 20mins for it to be ready.Enjoyed food when we got home.

First time here. The portion sizes are enormous. I can honestly say that I have never tasted batter so light and delicate. Was really impressed and will be back.

I have been a regular customer since the current owners took over but today I tried the home delivery service for the first time. The order arrived promptly, really hot and the fish and the chips were excellent, as always. The best fish and chips in Ferndown with friendly and cheerful customer service by all the staff.

Best chip shop in Ferndown. Friendly staff. Consistently great quality food. Definitely a good choice.

Food Always fresh! So prepare for a wait on busy times. No greasy mess. Staff are just lovely! Our no1!

Shush! The best fish and chipper for miles around 🤫

Excellent chip shop lovely fish & chips my favorite chippy un ferndowm ;)

Have tried a couple of local Fish and Chip shops. This has been the best and consistent. Their cod and chips is excellent. We will be regulars. The staff there are friendly and polite.

These are certainly the best Fish and Chips you could have. The fish is perfectly cooked with crispy clean batter, but beware of the LARGE Fish, it is truely huge! The chips are cooked to perfection, they are not greasy, and there is a great variety of sizes so if you like the small crispy ones - they're there, if you like the wholesome fat chips - they're there. The large chips will feed an ordinary family of 4!!

Unfailingly polite and welcoming staff. Unfailingly good quality fish with light crispy batter & perfect chips. Really, really good value senior citizens deal. What's not to like!

Just had 2xOld Persons specials delivered. Arrived in 20 minutes piping hot with generous portion of flavorful white fish and hot chips. Excellent service and value and pleasant people to deal with. We shall be returning. Many thanks.

Best fish n chips ever freshly cooked clean oil and beautifully presented. Been several times and never any different

The best fish and chips you will ever have! No grease, crisp batter and perfectly cooked fish. Delicious!

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful these lovely people are always cooked to perfection and delivery on time x thanks guy's

Best chippy around. Good portions, freshly cooked lovely staff. Someone has given only one star because their opening times were wrong. That is grossly unfair

All freshly cooked to perfection . All staff Well dressed clean polite. You cant go wrong

I really don't know why I haven't reviewed the First Plaice before, as we have used them a number of times since we moved to the area, but I was looking online on Friday to check opening times and only then realised that they have a TripAdvisor listing. So, after another lovely takeaway fish & chip supper, now is the time! The staff are lovely; friendly, polite and efficient. All covid protections are in place. The fish is lovely, with a light crispy batter and with lovely chips. The portions are generous and the value, particularly for the senior citizens deal, is excellent! Possibly the best fish & chip shop I have ever come across. Looking forward already to my next visit!

Very high quality fish batter and chips, would recommend!

Amazing fish and chips . Very friendly service.

Very disappinted after checking to see opening times to get there and find it is actually open Friday and Saturday tea time UPDATE your website please!!!!!

Seniors fish and chips is great

This is without doubt the best takeaway in the Bournemouth Poole area . Fresh cooked to order ,perfect white fish.. fab light batter & crisp chips.. this is in my opinion every bit as good & possibly a little better vthan the Famous Chez Fred at Westbourne.. The only downsize is the lack of parking BUT you can always ise the Tesco car park opposite.. jus wish they were open on a monday.. nearly forgot to mention the service is tip top, friendly & efficient .

Best fish and chips always fresh and hot . Good size portions. Lovely chips never greasy . Really recommend

Great traditional fish and chips. Wish they were open Sunday too :-)

Visit this chippy often at lunchtime. I go for the senior citizens special with the fish in breadcrumbs. Top quality fish and tasty chips. Always offered lemon slice but being old fashioned I go for salt and vinegar. Very friendly staff and I can confidently recommend a visit

Excellent quality fish freshly cooked to order and the best chips in the whole of Ferndown and surrounding area. Fast and friendly service. The best Fish & Chip shop I have ever visited, and I have tried all of them in this area over many years as well as in other parts of the U.K.. Have now been to this shop over 12 times and never been disappointed.

Best fish and chips in Ferndown
