King Edwards Fish & Chips in Weymouth and Portland

Yummy food - would come here again. Bit odd with ordering in the takeaway part and then having to walk round (via outside) to the seating area but the staff kindly brought our food over to us. We assumed this set up is for busy season and due to the layout of the building nothing else works! A large portion of chips was a great size for 2. A tasty meal for us both.

Came across King Edwards when I first visited Weymouth for a week with my two small boys in 2019. Was impressed with the take-away so before we left, we dined in the restaurant section. Good enough for me and the lads to want to come back. Had a banging Cod, scampi and chips. We make this out usual, nothing else. Have been back in 2020, 2022, 2023 but only take-away service. Only last week did i decide to cycle from Southampton to Weymouth with the aim of getting to Weymouth to have my usual before heading back to London on the train. Once again, had a banging cod and chips. Bottom line is if you haven't tried King Edwards, go try it. you might just want to keep going back when you can.

We had noticed King Edwards shop as we drove past and then decided to try it before we left for home. We wanted to sit down for our supper but when we did, we were told to go back out and order in the shop. This was because they couldn't do waitress service, but it was a waitress who told us that was what we had to do. We ordered 2 cod and chips and we were so disappointed when it arrived as a takeaway with wooden knives and forks. The fish was lovely but the chips were very disappointing as they were all just bits, no decent chips. Trying to eat a meal with a wooden knife and fork, really really bad. We cannot recommend King Edwards and we will go somewhere else next time. Terry Burns

Average fish and chips meal - kids meals served in bucket with a spade which they loved but expensive really for what you get. My son had cod goujons and he got 2 with a mountain of chips, a bit more fish would have been nice. Our fish and chips were ok but I thought overpriced. Ate it as we were hungry but not sure we would come again on our next visit.

Had 4 portions of chips and all of them were just the ends!! Understand one portion but all 4 are they buying cheaper frozen supply bags? Who knows? But wouldn't go again

Awesome place ,first class food,you really won't find better anywhere,been visiting Weymouth for some 30 years we only use King Edaards. Thanks forward great meal. Kind regards Shaun ✨️

I am absolutely APPALLED, I visited this chippy today and the manager/ chef was degrading his staff IN FRONT of his customers, he is clearly taking advantage of there young age being students and thinks he can get away with it ! Something must be done ! On the other hand the short brown haired boy behind the till and the ginger girl were extremely helpful and had great manners I applaud them for having to put up with this obscenely terrible owner/manager who needs to learn some manners from his staff. There has been many other reviews about this manager aswell so it’s clear this isn’t the first time this has happened. If these young staff are going to be putting up with that they at-least deserve a pay rise as I’m guessing it’s not enough!

The shop is situated in a prominent location and the frontage is impressive; the fish and chips are not! The fish was overcooked and the chips were the dregs of the tray. To add insult to injury, a sachet of tomato sauce cost over 50 pence. Given the previous poor reviews (which I wish I had read before I visited the shop), it is baffling how such a company stays in business. If you don't want to be disappointed, I recommend you dine elsewhere.

Served by 2 sullen looking young lads, price was extortionate and to make it worse I was served a greasy cod dripping with fat so much so it spilt out of the carton walking across the road and ruined my clothing. TERRIBLE

I’m shocked at some of the reviews! As a regular visitor to Weymouth and discovering our favourite chippie has temporarily closed decided to try King Edward’s …it was fabulous, lovely fresh cod with a light batter, well cooked chips nice and crispy edges, makes a change from limp soggy ones! Pleasant friendly service . My only complaint was the tea , it was very wishy washy , I think the tea bag only had a 30 second dunk :) but otherwise a good fish n chip lunch .

Busy sea front chip shop, ordered without any problems spending £40+ Received our order and left the shop. Once we opened our order we where short 3 cans of drink and a curry sauce. Total cost of missing items £7.96. No salt and vinegar added but was requested. Disappointed

Always visit this chippy whenever we are in Weymouth... But found the young boy serving very arrogant and rude ( dreadful attitude) The young girl giving out the orders was far more polite....come on Edwards have a word.

Came in and there was 2 young workers behind the desk, very helpful and professional. The young lad mistakenly read an order wrong and put vinegar on an order , to which the guy behind cooking , shouted at him in front of everyone ....

Best fish and chips in Weymouth, probably because they use King Edwards for the cops and the fish seems fresh too. The kids bucket and spade is brilliant too! Staff are friendly, altogether a really good experience!

How not to make money on a wet and windy October Saturday lunch time On arrival to find only take away open - No other customers 3 Members of staff behind counter #1 in charge if taking order and payment # 2 responsible for lifting...

Ordered 2 cod and chips, the batter was soggy, the fish was a strange colour, the chips were hard, total waste of 20 pounds ................won't be back worse fish and chips since the extinction of dinosaurs

Have to be honest ,the worst fish and chips I've ever had, considering the price it was a dreadful meal.

Went to King Edwards today, been before and sat in the restaurant, this time it was closed due to “no staff” 2 cod, 1 chips just short of £17, it was vile, the batter wasn’t cooked on the inside and the “cod was grey! Never,...

We have been to Weymouth very often and never fail to get fish and chips from Bennets at least once. The selection of meals is considerable, fresh and portion sizes are huge. It is great value for money. There are tables for those that wish...

We’d been out all day sightseeing and travelling and really wanted fish and chips by the sea. Takeaway service was great, polite and friendly staff. We had cod and chips x2 for £20 but well worth it. Beautiful food, chips great and the fish was...

During a short holiday in Weymouth my wife and I wanted a bag of chips whist sat overlooking the sea. This establishment is ideally situated on the esplanade so we ordered 2 chip butties and took them across the road to find a sea front...

Staff were very quick at serving and fish was lovely, the only star that was missing was due to having too many crunchy chips.

We decided to have fish and chips 'special' at lunchtime after seeing the 'Special Fish and Chips' board ADVERTISING a price around £7. We were not expecting a big fish for the price but at least a lunchtime meal, so for 2 of us £14....

Nothing to complain about here, after a long trip from London, Fish, chips and mushy peas were just the ticket

Dreadful customer service, this was hard work. We entered the shop at 8.30 pm. My husband , who is a diabetic needed to do his injection and wait 15 minutes to eat. I explained this to the girl serving, I wanted to order, pay and...

The highlight of any holiday in Weymouth is sitting on the beach, eating fish and chips from King Edwards. Freshly prepared with sizeable portions at a reasonable price and above all tasty.

I ordered two fish and chips to takeaway, it came to £10 - the guy said it would be a couple of minutes as they were waiting for the chips to cook. The fish was lovely, freshly cooked in batter. We sat on the beach...

Asked for a cheese burger because most fish shops I’ve been in do them 🥴 but got told there’s a McDonald’s down the road… very rude man serving! Food wasn’t even great 👎

Stopped for a quick bite on a sunny Saturday afternoon. No wait & quick to order. First to say that the chips were very good indeed. Plentiful (if indeed a little too many) piping hot, crispy, fluffy inside and NOT greasy in anyway. However the...

The kids meal served in a bucket and spade is just amazing and the kids loved it (even the 12 year old who is too cool for everything) and used the bucket and spades on the beach, the food was delicious and only £31 for...

Was not impressed with the chips or cod didn't meet expectations and was not worth the value. Chips were hard and overcooked.

Me, my mother and my father love coming on holiday to Weymouth, prior to the pandemic we had actually visited this place when it was both a take-away and restaurant, when we went this time they seemed to be operating a limited menu and take-away...

Right on seafront, perfect for taking over road an sitting in prom. 2x fish and chips on a nice evening, the fish was gorgeous and just fell apart once through the lovely batter. £10 each and there was enough chips to take home to make...

Good size portion of the best fish and chips we have had in many years. Proper chip shop style chips served with a fantastic piece of cod in a crispy batter.

lovely chips portion enormous staff friendly premises spotless loved the crunchiness but a little less would be better

This is their "standard cod" and (2) (Large) portion of chips... cost £21.67 When I visit fish and chip shops I usually expect some cockups. However to receive this abysmal and pathetic takeaway when I saw the different larger and wider fish portions which aren't...

We did not visit I just find it appalling that companies are able to mass produce waste like this, so many of these buckets and spades will be left on the beach or thrown in the bin! What is your recycling policy for these large...

Good portion sizes but tested terrible and expensive. Paid over £7 for two chips and ketchup. Would not return. I’m sure there are better places to get chips nearby.

Purchased one portion of fish and chips for two of us, the fryer who I presume is the owner give us two medium sized fish and tons of chips, very tasty, yes it was a tenner but better than paying forty at Rockfish well worth...

Cooked in vegetable oil, suitable for my nut allergy, this was one of the best portion of chips I have ever had (and this coming from a native of a different coastal town!). Large portions, not oily like other places. Recommend for a bite to...

Was very exspensive but wouldn't have worried if It was worth it. The cod batter was really dark on one side and very dry on that half saviloy was warm at best almost £17 for cod and chip and a saviloy and chips probably the...

Always fantastic fish from here. Friendly service too! Just buy and walk across to the promenade and sit and enjoy while watching the sea = lovely"

Perfectly cooked fish and chips, not greasy in the slightest. Generous portions. Highly recommend. We have experienced other chip shops in Weymouth on our weekly visits during the winter and now that this one has opened after their winter break it has put the others...

This fish & chip shop has a restaurant as well as a take away & is just across the road from Weymouth beach, sadly the restaurant was closed when I arrived as I really wanted haddock & chips with mushy peas but decided to just...

Visited with friends as done lots of time in the past, now only take away as cannot staff restaurant they say ,, Fish was really nice chips were not edible and crusty not worth it, others places are doing better so they will get my...

Absolutely disgusting fish had no flavour the saveloy was the worst I had ever tasted my son had it and spat it out I was said what is wrong and then I tasted it and done exactly the same. The chips were dry like they’ve...

Lovely cod and chips, freshly cooked, great portion size, very friendly customer service. Wonderful location on Weymouth seafront.

Enjoyed fish and chips on the prominade. Fish not greasy and the chips were pretty good too. Recommend this place

Best fish and chip shop in Weymouth. Not sure why there are mixed reviews here, this is always my go to fish and chip shop while visiting Weymouth, the fish is always really fresh as well as the chips, always really hot as well. But...

Our usual eating place when in Weymouth is now take away only, despite having a large indoor dining area. As it was a bitterly cold 2°C outside, we decided against this, as did the group behind us enquiring. A short walk away you can find...

was in weymouth this week and we fancy some fish and chips to eat along the sea front and called in here ,glad we did ,fantastic value we had cod and chips between us and we had a massive portion very yummy and finger licking...

This has always been our favourite fish and chip shop in Weymouth. Usually get good portions. Today I ordered a large chips and a pot of curry sauce which came to over £6. Portion size was small. Went back in and asked if it was...

Best take away chips I have probably ever had and I live in a seaside town with hundreds of chippys. Delicious, would recommend and go back without hesitation.

Walking along esplanade, and just fancied some fish & chips in the fresh air. Freshly cooked and not at all greasy. Serviette and plastic cutlery a nice touch!

Called in King Edwards today on the spur of the moment. Though we visit Weymouth regularly, we've never had fish and chips from here. However, from now on, this will be our first port of call. The fish was very white and juicy and the...

Perfect take away fish and chips. Efficient service. Tasty, hot and fresh. Crispy batter, well cooked. Tasty chips. Chunky fish . Portion size was good.

The fish and chips was really good . Cod was really thick and the batter was thin. So often at these places it’s all batter and you can hardly find the fish . Couldn’t fault it. Good value too.

Always busy a good sign but the quality never falters. Tasty fresh fish and chips and other options. Good comes in easily handled boxes.

The Restaurant was closed due to Covid. Purchased Fish and Chips and ate them on the Promenade as the sun was setting. Great fish and chips would recommend

Literally the worst fish ever from a fish and chips shop. The fish was supposed to be cod and was 6 quid but was grey / brown in colour with a gooey texture and was smothered in really thick stodgy batter. The chips and nuggets...

Stayed nearby and walked to this chippy a couple of times. Always excellent food, reasonably priced, like the fact they will split the portion of chips for you, so my hubby has vinegar but I don't, so they split the chips and we can each...

We were staying in Weymouth for a few days and our first evening was spent exploring the sea front. We thoroughly enjoyed our fish and chips. Large portion, freshly cooked fish, not greasy. Purchased bottle of ketchup and the children loved the bucket and spade...

Loved this place. The chips were hot and fresh and the fish was superb. Look out for the childrens bucket meal!

Really good fish and chips, I’ve tried others in Weymouth and these ones are the nicest, good location as well as it’s right by the beach so you have time to walk back to the beach before they go cold.

Fish cost £5.35 and was more like a childs portion . very small and overcooked never again .....Profit more important than value .. Go elsewere as the fish will be twice the size

Not exaggerating. This is hands down the best fish and chip shop I have ever been too. Of the 4 nights I was down Weymouth, I had fish and chips for tea on 2 occasions and for lunch too. Staff are amazingly friendly and the...

Some of the best fish and chips we have ever eaten. Very COVID safe, friendly and speedy service. Not that cheap, but worth paying extra for quality.

Fabulous fish and chips. It's a lovely clean place with pleasant staff. Very busy but worth the wait. Very COVIS safe. They do special portions for the children and you can buy a childrens package which includes a bucket and spade for the beach. I...

we visited this chip shop for lunch and was not that impressed,the servings were on the small side and the price was expensive,not convinced they were cooked fresh tasted frozen so will not return

Really pleased with our takeaway, there was a long queue showing how popular it is but we were served quickly and the staff were friendly. Ideally placed for takeaway fish and chips to eat on the beach.

We had the option of takeaway only which on a nice day was perfect for the beach. Delicious chips, crunchy battered fresh fish, friendly service - perfect!! Really good choice and very generous portions.

We were looking for some local fish and chips and this place came up on the top 5 places in Weymouth. Unfortunately only offering a limited menu and not the items which were still being listed on a menu around the corner which was disappointing....

My friend and I were working In Weymouth and stumbled across King Edwards, a lucky find. The best fish and chips I’ve had in years, just stunning and lovely people too. Thank you!

Haddock and cod went down well. The chicken nuggets and chips were so-so. So I'd recommend go for the fish. Obvious I know!

Delicious fish and chips with a good amount of salt and vinegar. The chips on particular were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

So visited around 8pm one evening and I have to say the fish here is absolutely lush. Wasn't impressed with the chips though. Had a lot of ends

We were in a hotel a few doors down and went for the fish and chips one evening. It was fantastic - thin batter on juicy fish and the chips were great, Worth queuing for!

an evening stroll on esplanade goes hand in hand with fish and chips and these are one of the best in weymouth. got the distancing sorted too.

Visited 14.09 at 8pm. Absolutely appalled by the person serving me. Ordered small cod and chips and was asked "you want salt and vinegar" I replied yes, whilst putting salt and vinegar on my food, the server was busy talking to another member of staff...

One of the best fish and chips I have had. Beautifully cooked fish with loads of chips - excellent. Trouble was the seagulls wanted them too!!

Amazing fish and chips- crispy batter, fresh fish and big portion for a reasonable price, no complaints. Quick and polite service from staff and also impressed by enforced safety procedures, only letting 2 people wait inside (on designated spots) and having huge Perspex screens.

Had your typical fish and chips by the sea. We make it a 'thing whenever we are away...First night is a seaside supper. The fish wasn't greasy and the chips were fresh. We've had some horrors before at other places but this was tasty and...

A return visitor, we were relieved to find it open and serving take away . Fast no nonsense service with clear covid directions ensured the queue moved quickly. Nothing beats sitting on the beach with the family eating freshly cooked and tasty fish and chips....

During the Covid 19 pandemic there is a clear way of ordering food and a space to collect it. The food is very good and tasty, it was one of our highlights while we were staying here. Loved taking it away to eat it on...

We were in the area and looked on here for some ideas, saw the reviews on this place and thought we would try. Currently you can only have Take Away, which wasn’t an issue, but the line of people waiting to enter said it must...

Sadly only take out, but good social distancing and efficient system to serve the queues. Still doing kids buckets so perfect for playing on the beech after eating!

We had a very tasty meal from the King Edward, the fish and chips were amazing. Cooked perfect and the fish was a good quality catch. The portion sizes were great and kept the tradition of the great british chippy being affordable. Would happily visit this chippy again.

We went here on our son's recommendation as he had visited it when he was in the area with the Scouts. It was a good call on his part.The staff have got the queuing system sussed in terms of the Covid-19 guidelines and the food was worth the relatively short wait. We sat on the seafront and enjoyed a good traditional takeaway that was hot and cooked well. The extras, such as mushy peas or curry sauce come in two sizes, so you have choice. It was a bit chilly out but the food warmed us up a treat.Not that we used it, but they have a novel idea of doing food for smaller children, served in a bucket with a spade, for added effect.Would definitely recommend

Came here for traditional fish and chips for lunch after reading the reviews. Fish batter was crispy, but dripping with oil. Chips were soggy. Tartare sauce came from Heinz in the packet, not that it mattered that much.But fish was Extremely disappointing. Was expecting it fresh and tastier being by the sea.My two local places in London must’ve spoiled me, as Kings Edward is in no comparison to either of these.Pity seeing standards dropping due to Covid19. I Wouldn’t call service very friendly either. One of girls serving was shouting at some old people in front of us in a queue where they should be standing.I think we should be more caring and courteous to our elders, they must be delighted to finally being able to enjoy a little piece of normality.

On our holiday to Weymouth we came across King Edwards Fish and Chip Bar and we were soooo glad we did, our children had the bucket cod fish battered nuggets and chips (in a seaside bucket and spade, fab idea) the nuggets were light and fluffy and the children devoured them, chips were lovely too and plentiful.We had traditionalCod and chips and we weren’t disappointed it’s a must if you plan to visit or holiday in Weymouth (opposite the landmark Clock on sea front) delicious

Enjoyed a lovely day in Weymouth yesterday and had the best Fish and Chips we’ve had in years at King Edwards. The staff were very friendly and everything was organised incredibly well to meet their COVID 19 Risk Assessment. Well done all, you are a credit.

All I can say is that they give you plenty!!! Fish was bang on crispy batter. Struggled to finish this mega portion. Definitely recommend.

I have been there many times and every time the staff are polite, helpful and efficient .The fish and chips are excellent ,I have never had a meal that isn't to the highest standard and the food is consistently excellent.There's a cute children's meal served in a bucket and spade

We celebrated our first post lock down outing with a visit to Weymouth from Bournemouth to 'celebrate' my wife's birthday. We chose this restaurant from TA reviews for take away meal to eat on promenade sitting in our own socially distanced folding chairs. Excellent sized portions of cod and chips were delicious. Will return again in future.

Last visited this fish and chips shop, too many years ago to mention, as a young trainee soldier on camp just outside Weymouth, and although it has changed hands obviously the standard is as remembered, made welcome by staff and served very quickly.

Excellent cod,chips and mushy peas.friendly service and freshly cooked while we waited.Reasonably priced too.

I never like giving bad reviews and it may be a case of us going there on an off day, but from our experience, we won’t be going back. The food that we had, 4 portions of sausage and chips, was tasteless, dry, and overpriced at £32. Even the Pepsi Max we had tasted odd. The one positive for us was that our 2 children were very happy with the buckets and spades their food was served in.

Wifey & I came here last year and had such good food that we decided to come back and we weren’t disappointed!Wifeys gush & Chips were delicious with a light crispy batter and a tangy curry sauce on the side. My pie & chips were great with a lovely light gravy to pour over. With a cup of tea, on a cold, wet n windy night, it really hit the spot.

Well situated just across the road from Weymouth’s great beach this chippy offers a good choice, including a children’s menu to eat in or take away. I sampled the haddock, it was delicious, the batter was crisp and light and the fish succulent. The service was helpful and friendly offering to split a portion of chips between two for those with a lesser appetite. A tad on the expensive side for me but very similar to others in the town.

We stopped here for lunch on out first visit to Weymouth in about 30 years. It was about 1:30 on on a Saturday and it was fairly busy. We had a hot chocolate each which was actually hot unlike so many other places where it is lukewarm and you have to drink it straight away. The food followed shortly afterwards. It again was lovely and hot and huge portions.They also serve kids' meals in a bucket with a spade which kids can keep for an extra £ which we will definitely do when we have the grandchildren with us.There was plenty of attentive staff on duty and tables were clean and floors swept as soon as anyone left.All in all a wonderful chip shop experience.
