Golden Fish in North Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely the best fish and chip shop. Staff are lovely, owner always busy but the standard of the food never gets affected even at the busiest of times, always amazing food. Thank you x

Loads of chips in the portion size, could easily share

Great spicy chicken burger and chips were good to very nice size a very good 7/10 defo go again

One of the best fish and chips in Dorset.

CASH ONLY - need to get with the times sadly. The chips were average, curry sauce was average, Chicken nuggets were AMAZING

Lovely Local fish and chip shop with a great menu. You cant get nicer chips in the area!

Spanish family. We all loved it. THE BEST IN UK

I have been buying Haddock and chips most weeks over the last 6 months. The quality generally has been very good. Unfortunately yesterday the quality was very poor. The haddock was barely cooked with very soggy batter. The chips were very small peices and surprisingly very gritty almost like there was sand in them!

Delightful atmosphere with staff and waiting customers. Really delicious plaice (my friend said it was the best she had ever had) and my cod and chips was excellent. Well be back for more!

The best fish and chips for miles around. Very friendly service too.

We love going to this chip shop, everyone is so kind and welcoming. Id highly recommended the golden fish to everyone

Excellent fish and chip shop. Didn’t know we needed cash but luckily there’s a tesco around the corner. Good size portions and generous chips. Just what we needed whilst staying locally

Please make sure your timetable is correct, I just drove there and was closed (just before 3pm). Your opening times are stated as 12:00-21:00 on Fridays.

This place doesn't look too prepossessing but it really does serve the best fish and chips for miles around - absolutely fresh fish and crisp batter.

Great fish chip never a let down great staff too

Good fish and chips and quick service. Only issue is you cant pay by card.

Not open, even though their own website and others say they are! What a waste of time walking up there!

Food was very good and hot. Portion sizes very generous

A recent convert to here despite visiting here for many years. Food and service is good with good crispy batter.

Excellent fish and very generous portions

Even though we arrived just after they closed, they cooked a piece of fish for us.

Golden fish is easily one of the finest fish and chip establishments I have ever visited. Excellent and excellently consistent.

Best chippy in Shaftesbury. Cash only, no cards. Best to ring ahead at busy times

My favourite Fish and Chips. Friendly staff, quick service and very tasty. Highly recommend!

Excellent fish and chip shop. Ordered for 7 people on the phone. Order was ready exactly when they said it would be for collection. Fresh fish, crispy chips and not greasy. Mushy peas with the perfect consistency. Good value.

Portion sizes are big, quality is impressive. Parking is impossible as surrounded by double yellow lines, but there are places to park and walk if happy to. We got caught out with No card payments accepted, so for now, make sure you have cash on you 😂

Great! friendly people working there and the cod and chips we had were delicious ! 😀

Great Fish & Chips, always consistent quality. And friendly service.

Fish and chip shops can be very hit and miss, but this place is a hit every single time!

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips. Well prepared and not at all greasy.

Fantastic meal great value would suggest ordering by phone because it's really popular

Very good traditional fish and chip shop

Best take away for miles . Fish and chips are delicious. Staff are wonderful.

Really friendly staff & top food a really big 👍👍👍👍

Best fish and chips in town 😋 Also senior citizens discount

Food prepared very nicely, perfect chips and lovely batter to nice quality fish. Good value for money and friendly staff. Good covid rules in place. Recommended.

Quite simply the best fish and chip shop in Shaftesbury - Dorset and probably the world It’s just what you want and how you like it - delicious taste - spot on portions - great choice - super staff - cooked to perfection

Best fish and chips in Shaftesbury, hands down. Lived here 18 months and went for the first time today, I'll go again for sure!

Very disappointed in the food in a very good spot but the chips are not fresh dry and the small fishcake was so soft it couldn't hold shape quite bad it doesn't matter that the small portion of chips is large.

Very Very oily and over cooked fish

the cheesy chips are amazing! the chips are a good portion and the fish fresh and a good size. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Was best in town but has gone downhill since lockdown

One of the best cod and chips I've had... Would recommend a visit to locals and holidaymakers alike.

Fish and chips were very good 👍

Best fish and chips I've had for ages. Best in Shaftesbury by a long way.

We had (for 2 of us) 1 Plaice, 1 Haddock, 1 large Chips and 2 Pea fritters. Service was great, foid was awesome hot and tasty. But be prepared there was enough for 4 people. Just couldn't eat it all. See why they are always busy.

Been using this shop for years, consistently good, ample portions, yummie .

Lovely dinner from The Golden Fish tonight. Crispy fish and scummy chips. Will certainly take out from here again.

Another superb fish and chip supper!!

Great fish & chips, although I normally have chicken & chips, large portions, brilliant value for money and very efficient service

First time ordering with Golden Fish yesterday, it was around half an hour wait after phoning but honestly, with everything going on at the moment, it's just nice to see the place busy so the wait wasn't a major problem (if service was a little quicker would have been 5 star). Really nice Fish and Chips, good size portions, very fairly priced and friendly service. Always seem to struggle to find a decent Fish and Chip shop locally but definitely impressed with our first visit and we will definitely be back, soon!

The best chips in town. Nuff said.

Food was freshly cooked for us on the night we went very good value and very friendly staff would recommend.

Excellent, best fish supper in North Dorset. Lovely people.

Beautiful fish and chips, would highly recommend.

Top notch tasty fish and chips. Haddock was huge, batter was crispy and the chips weren’t greasy.

Excellent! Chips much better than they've been for a while and well organised to keep social distancing.

Fantastic fish and chips. We stop every year on our way home from Dorset. Really friendly staff.

Great shop - Plaice, haddock, Cod all lovely. Nice Chips. Friendly service. We take our own bag, to reduce plastic & they are happy with that

My favourite fish and chip shop. Lovely people and even better fish and chips. Perfect portion. This place is just amazing!

Lovely service, excellent fish and chips

Best fish & chips in the area. Happy and friendly staff

Lovely place, some of the best fish I’ve ever had. Chips were fantastic too.

Good portion sizes for f&chips, well cooked. Speedy and polite service. Fine.

Best Fish and Chips in Shaftesbury.

Iv just eaten my cod and chips from this chippy first time EXCELLENT

Bought fish & chips on carnival night. Best portion & batter I have eaten in the past 10 years. Great chips as well. Very well done everyone. Shop spotless too!

Very nice fish and chips. Cooked to order. Generous portion. Personally would have liked a little more salt.

Hurrah for a real fish & chip shop. Lovely staff in a clean chippy serving the original fast food. Sign of a good fish & chip is when you walk ten minutes to your home & it is still hot & the batter & chips crispy. Cod is really good & the portions just right. Comfort food, #Marvellous

Best chip shop around for miles the best in shaftesbury and Gillingham

The chips are great and the fish is exquisite.

Great fish and chips cooked to order. Hidden away down a side road, very popular with the locals.
