Hordean Fish and Chips in East Hampshire

I like this fish and chip shop and often drop in when I am in Horndean. The staff are always friendly and the service is prompt. I also like the fish and chips!

Chips awful, possibly reheated from lunch time. Fish in soggy batter.

Awful !!! Neither Cod or Haddock in our opinion..some alternative cheaper white fish which was awful....chips average at best and mushy peas tasteless....Lemon slice was fresh though...only thing they got right...We feel ripped off for £20.80 ?

Very good, old skool, rustic, Fish and chips.. Simple, direct.. Moreover the village of Horndean, in which the shop sits, is a very, pretty, semi-quiet, semi rural and welcoming. Helpful and kind stsff, too😊

Fish wonderful, chips dreadful, they were rock hard.

just had fish and chips delivered , fast friendly service, but the food was awful , warmed up chips, dried out fish , obviously re heated from lunch time , i wont be ordering from there again

Really quick delivery, food piping hot ,good portion size BUT and there was a reason I stopped going to them and now I just ordered again a few months later, I remember why, a huge NO . The batter!!! Literally horrible. The batter mix too thick. Inside the fish batter is soggy, doughy and raw flour. Yuck.

Had the seniors cod and chips today. Really good and priced very well for a take out treat.

Just had a perfect fish and chip supper. Generous portions, beautifully cooked, fast and friendly delivery service. Top job!

Spotlessly clean, fantastic fish and chips

Sausage in batter was nice, but the chips weren't good. They were quite dark and some were a bit hard. Won't go there again, back to Banks for me.

I dropped into this chippy to quickly get some chips for my parents - to do ham, egg and chips at home. They served the chips suspiciously quickly. When I got them home, they were awful. Reheated, dried out, horrible taste. If they think so little of their customers that they're serving up yesterday's food reheated, as these obviously were, well, frankly, they can stuff it. Will never buy from there again.

Had fish and chips from here tonight. Portion size okay, but batter far too thick. Would have had bad indigestion if eaten it. Please make a lighter batter. It looked nice and crispy but wasn’t cooked through anywhere near enough.

Too many occasions they are blatantly serving reheated chips which are dry and just not good so be careful of when you visit…. which is a shame because when they do it properly it’s a decent fish and chip shop.

First time visiting Horndean fish and chips and would definitely recommend. Food was great and good value for money. Friendly staff.

You lady on Saturday was really nice! Food was delicious. Would recommend.

Last eve we went down to treat ourselves to fish & chips from our local chippy. We ordered OAP fish & chips. Which by the way is normally lovely. And my husband ordered a pie & chips! When he got home, his chips were missing. Which is a pain when you’ve driven down there. He did phone up to say his chips were missing, he was told he had not ordered them! 🤔 odd?? He did order them, the person did not put them in the order! Seemed as if the young lady serving was not doing a good job. As when my husband came out of the shop two chaps were taking their order back. So mix ups were happening. By the way. My fish was not nice. Thin & very dried out. Which is not what cod should be like. It should be chunky white fish, not what I got. So think we won’t be going back. What a shame! We have always enjoyed our meals from there. Ps what chips we did have were nicely cooked, not soggy. But not enough for two people when you’ve not got what you defiantly ordered.

Fantastic fresh food. Friendly staff and fast service

Good food and reasonable prices

Horndean fish and chips delivered 43 meals of pie and chips and a vegetarian option, for an event for us. All meals were excellent and received many compliments. They were delivered at the requested time, piping hot, and the service was polite and courteous. This is the second time they have provided a large quantity of meals and they can’t be faulted. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. . Thank you

Large cod was nice and batter dry(how I like it) large chips were nice but small portion, scampi was very nice , curry sauce on point.

Well, atmosphere for a fish and chip shop, lol. Fish and chips were good though.

6 months ago cod & chips for two was about £16, its now over £20. Supposedly it's down to the increase in price on potatoes which I have no issue with given inflation . However, what is disappointing is if you are going to put your prices up over 20%, the baseline minimum standard requirement is maintaining your cooking standards. Tonight we've taken away the worst portion of cod & chips we've had from here, and possibly even the worst we've ever had. Chips were lank and greasy, fish tasted of nothing. Most of it went in the bin. That will be our last visit unfortunately and will be looking elsewhere. Shame as it used to be ok.

Never had a bad fish and chips from here. Good size portion of chips

We have been using this takeaway for about 4 years but the last year or so has been very hit and miss. Really disappointed with the 2 cod and chips we had this evening. Batter was so stodgy we couldn't eat it, not crispy at all. Took a long time to be delivered and was not hot when it arrived. Chips were not good either. Actually going to try somewhere else next time. Such a shame.

Chips not so bad but the way he treats and speaks to to his staff are totally unacceptable.

Absolutely delicious haddock and chips with best curry sauce. Crispy light batter and lovely firm haddock, the place is immaculate, would definitely recommend.

The most surprising thing about the reviews is that nobody has mentioned the curry sauce! By far the best curry sauce I've ever had from a chip shop. Good chips, beautiful batter on the pea fritter and jumbo sausage. Standard chips are a very decent portion.

Popped in tonight after a friend raved about the curry sauce. I've used the shop in passing previously and always found the portions plentiful and the food great all at a decent price, but the curry sauce! Definitely not the usual chip shop curry sauce! A rich brown colour rather than the usually green, beige sort. Sweet but with an undercurrent of heat. It's like the Chinese Curry sauce had a fling with the Indian Curry sauce and this was the result.

Certainly the best fish and chips in the area. Easy ordering and prompt, reliable delivery service. Recommended.

Good local fish and chip shop. Portions are very big so go small if you don't eat too much. OAP option is perfect.

Sorry, but was so disappointed! The food I paid for tonight was definitely not worth the money. Takeaway at 5.45 pm should taste freshly cooked but we had to throw chips away as were dry, hard & tasted like they had been heated up from lunchtime. Same for battered sausage. Thank goodness the burger was edible. Definitely won't be back!

Fish supper for four, freshly cooked and plenty of it, chips where perfect as was the whole meal, not a morsel left, see you next week.

Best local fish and chips, though a bit on the pricey side. Quick and friendly service.

Love my sausage & chips from here, plus fast & friendly service

Chips were gorgeous and the fish was delicious and the food was all hot and freshly cooked I would recommend this take away to anyone and it is open till 9 every night except Sunday when its closed

Clearly didn’t put all the food in and then immediately tried to claim it was missing because the delivery driver ate it 🙄

The wife placed an order at 5:30. Was told it would be 30min delivery. 1hr later called up to find out where the order was and was told it was out and would be right with us. At 7pm called again and was told it was ready to go out. My wife was upset at this point but waited a bit to decide what to do, she called up and said she refused to pay full price for an order that was almost 2 hours late. The manager screamed at her down the phone and said to cancel the order rather than reduce the money. We refused to pay full price. He cancelled the order. I went down after work to give the guy a bit of my mind about how he should talk to my wife. He soon backed down, saying he was nice to her, and it's not his fault. it's the drivers fault it takes 2 hours. I told him he should tell people that the delivery will be 2 hours, and he says he has no control over the orders. 2 hours later, the wife is angry. I am angry, and the kids are hungry. It's not a nice place. It would have been all avoided if this place and any respect for their customers. Please see the attached voice recording between him and my wife. It shows you how nasty the manager is.

Wow! At last a fish & chip shop that delivers GREAT fish & chips! We’ve used this place twice now and it’s fabulous! Really it is! The fish lovely chunky white cod! With skin removed. I ordered regular size, and it hung over the plate! Lovely, really nice fish. The chips fantastic! Cooked nice, good colour & not mushy or soggy. Well done guys, we will be back for more.

Awfull fish and chips , soggy chips , horrible fish . Rude owner . He was so rude twice ( once we gave him the Benefit of the doubt .) second time sooooo rude . Just because he is the only place on horndean he thinks he has a monopoly. Boycott this place it’s awful

You know when you are on a drive home from the cost and come of a fish and chippy and you get all excited..............don't get excited about this one, drive on by, unless you have a pair of secateurs or a really strong jaw to cut through the batter. If that doesn't put you off, their luke warm curry sauce is alot like their customer service. Never have I felt like I was putting the proprietor out by being there. You would think in the current times we were in, customer service and product would be paramount to business sustainability.........obviously doesn't need the business.

Rude and disgusting, owner was rude, going for years, the owner was so abrupt and made me feel quite upset I will never return and to top it off the fish and chips are disgusting. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

Ordered take away delivery, cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage chips and mushy peas, arrived super quick, warm and tasted amazing. Would recommended

First and last time for the chippy unfortunately. The fish was delicious, not smothered in batter, but am pretty sure we were served lunch times unsold chips. Dry with a stale taste. Maybe this is because we turned up as soon as they opened for the evening, but no excuse. The balance of fish and chips is really what makes the dish special. Dried up leftovers completely ruined our experience. My husband was the first customer at 4pm so may be a different experience later in the evening. Will never know.

Lovely food, bit pricey but awful service from manager

No English people so not gonna get the best fish and chips as it's an acquired taste 😋 that's taken me many years to develop 19 of which was served abroad but I always looked forward to returning to Blighty to hav fish 🐟 and chips 🍟.

Really gorgeous fish and chips, the batter is so light and crispy, really nice chaps serving

Good VFM So good to have this on our doorstep. The food is naughty, but very nice, Chips are superb, as good as they were back in the 70's!

My wife and I were walking by Horndean Fish and Chips and decided we would try them for lunch. I have to say it was probably the best fish and chips I have had. Definitely 5 stars. Would highly recommend. Plus they take telephone orders and also deliver.

Just enjoyed one of the crunchiest and tastiest pieces of cod with a side of delicious mushy peas in a long time. Double cheeseburger and mozzarella sticks very good too , thank you! We'll be back .

Always have delivery and have never been dissatisfied or disappointed. Freshly cooked fish and always more than enough chips. My wife and I always order our fish and sides and share a large chips. Delivery drivers are always very friendly and food arrives promptly. Why not 5*? I would say that it can sometimes be difficult to tell the large cod from the standard size, but it is always beautiful and white and in a lovely thin and crispy batter

Absolutely disgusting, The haddock was ridiculously small.for the amount of £7.10!!!! Chips are soggy and we're £3!!!! Won't be coming bk ever and I would recommend going elsewhere, Tha ks for a awful dinner which is in the bin!!!

Just had a delivery and the quality of the fish was appauling. It was all batter and no fish. Rang to complain and offered free one next time! Not much use now. Would not recommend again. Also, having left a message on their FB, they did not reply. How rude!

Bit expensive, but great quality and portion size.

Very good. Staff polite and efficient. Will definitely use again.

The online ordering did not work despite trying with various cards. In the end ordered by phone. Fish was OK but not exceptional

Food was fresh and hot as you would want. Polite staff and helpful fulfilled the order quickly and with s smile. Good food

Forgot to put in sausages and when I returned after noticing they fumbled about and magically pulled 2 sausages from the bag (which were in fact next to him waiting for me to return) making me out to be mad so that he doesn't have to make up a brand new order!! Never again thank you

Great fish and chip shop. Maybe a bit more pricey than some other chippy's but honestly, the small amount extra is definitely worth it. All food is cooked really well and very tasty, with a great selection on their menu. We've tried quite a few different foods on the menu and they are all really nice. Delivery is also great as it's alway much quicker than they estimate and the food is still really hot. Definitely recommend!

Great quality food , use app for points that can be used for money off future meals. Well done to all the staff.

Awful - DO NOT ORDER OR WASTE YOUR MONEY! Below is my review as to why : Food: Chips were absolutely awful, cold, greasy and just tasted terrible. Regular COD also just as bad the batter was extremely greasy and chewy (like it has been sitting under a heater for a couple of days). Curry sauce had a foil taste, nothing like a curry sauce it was like gravy with brown sauce. Saveloy was absolutely lovely no complaints there. Delivery: Took over 47 minutes to be delivered food arrived cold and horrible. Waste of money and time, kids still hungry as the food was terrible. Please do not waste your hard earnt money here, this definitely has not won any awards. Other chip shops are so much better and way above the bar of this place. Newest reviews appear to be staged by friends and family as I cannot believe I am the only one to recieve bad food. I paid cash, if I paid card I would be getting a refund, absolutely dissapointed.

Some of the best cheesy chips and steak and kidney pie I've ever had! 👍🏾 Great service and nice people.

I ordered, 1 piece of haddock and chips and 1 piece of cod only ( delivery) ,the food arrived and it was Luke warm at best, I phoned to complain, all I got was a complete obnoxious response saying that if you order fish for delivery it’s Not going to arrive warm?, I won’t order from this place again as the attitude I got was disgusting, £20 for a Luke warm piece of haddock and chips and a regular piece of cod, shameful

Lovely fresh fish and chips, good value for money.

Amazing food, will definitely go there again.

One of the best fish and chip shops I've been to. Huge portions of really lovely food. Really worth visiting. The menu had some interesting items panko coated prawns and squid rings....really got to try them next time! There is a small car park alongside the shop as you can see in my photos....but if it is full, there is plentiful street parking in the area.

Well priced, fantastic food, ordered online and was being bagged as I walked in, spot on

Good food - good service - good price

Excellent fish and chips, served up by friendly smiling people - just how a local chippie should be but often isn't.

Went for the first time last night, they had just opened, and when I got home I had been reheated old chips that were disgusting. Never going again.

Really nice fish and chips. Sophisticated ordering. First time I phoned and they sent a message to allow me to pay online. Second time I ordered and paid online. Food ready to pick up when I arrived.

This is a great Fish n Chippy, happy people and a reliable service.

a chippie which provides a delivery service. Impressed. Choices varied. Good value. wil become a regular

Amazing quality, just was so busy the service was very slow.

Great fish n chips cod roe amazing

Best fish & chips. Fresh. Good service.

Great food, wonderful staff & highly recommended. They have worked hard & diligently during lockdown & always consider their customers. You are awarded points everytime you purchase food from them & these can then be used to offset against any future meals once you have enough. Bonus!!!

Very nice food just a long wait to get it

Fast service, tasty food. Will come again.

Gave the wife a nice night off and had some great fish and chips 🍟

They have lovely fish and chips, I always have cod and their cod is really good, sometimes I have been to other fish and chip shops and have bought cod and I have not been given cod. In my opinion it is very good value for money.

Divine fish that just melted in my mouth. Crispy batter cooked in fresh oil, perfectly cooked double fried chips with the acidity of a sprinkle of quality vinegar and creamy mushy peas with a fine tub of tartar sauce. This is my 'go-to' fish & chippy when I'm in the area!

Great food, lovely staff, very clean

Nice fish and chips also really good value. Good old fashioned food.

We visit here as an occasional treat and the food is always lovely. My daughter is vegetarian so she has breaded mushrooms and chips. Staff are always so friendly however the 2 people rule seems to be relaxing as people now sit inside waiting for...

Really nice fish and chips. Definitely recommend

Excellent service & excellent food. Thoroughly reccomend them.

Currently there most weeks, excellent staff and tasty food.

Very disappointed after reading reviews saying how good it was. Had brother and partner requesting fish and chips had it delivered batter on fish soggy not very good at all chips not cooked enough. All were not impressed

Cooked just right and always enjoyable.

Excellent, fast and friendly service. It was great to finally be able to pop in and get some tasty fish and chips. Hearty portion sizes !!!

This is the worst fish and chips I have ever had, the small fish was so thin it was chewy and grossly over cooked, chips were fine but not a meal. Sadly they should focus on the Indian food side of cooking and not try...

Very nice food. We've eaten here three times now and the staff are always pleasant and efficient. Wait times were minimal, even on a busy Friday evening.

Delicious food, reasonably priced, great menu and friendly service. Very happy and will use again.

Our food took 50mins to arrive and was soggy and cold. The manager was rude said that it was hot when it left and it’s not his fault that the delivery driver also delivers for the curry house. Apparently if I wanted hot food I...

Fantastic tasting fish and chips without being greasy, batter very crispy, always tidy and clean when I have visited. Staff very friendly and welcoming, can't fault it apart from the very limited parking available for customers but overall 10/10

Very nice and good service too 🐟🍟

Great service at reasonable prices.

Ordered for delivery on a Saturday night, at a great value £2 extra and delivered within 25 minutes, instead of the quoted 45. There is a little parking outside, shared with the Indian next door, but for £2 it was cheaper than even starting the...

First visit, good service and well cooked fish and chips will definitely visit again
