King Edwards in Weymouth and Portland

The fish was good but unfortunately the chips were rock solid

It's not a Weymouth trip without visiting here. The staff are lovely, it's the best fish and chips nationally (in my opinion) and prices aren't ludicrously expensive for a seaside restaurant

Visiting Weymouth for the weekend and literally the best chips I’ve ever had. Really good service. Highly recommend.

We had a delicious cod-and-chips takeaway which we ate overlooking the beach. We were very glad of our choice of chippie, and will be happy to go back.

Lovely chips and sausage and very reasonable priced

Only the takeaway was open but they allowed us to sit in the restaurant area to eat. We had cod,plaice and haddock and all were exceptional and enough chips for a small army. Both the chips and batter were crispy and not greasy so a fabulous lunch was had.

Since covid, they closed the sit-down area but now it's reopened, you have to order at the takeaway, go outside then come back in via a different door. It's ridiculous. The foods great and the lads on the fryers are OK.

Absolutely lovely place. Staff were lovely. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious Very big portions too.

Excellent food , not oily at all - definitely recommend

Reasonable price for fish and chips and a lot of food

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.

Chips seem to be of a gray like colour and says gluten free yet theirs batter in the box aswell, so totally contaminated.

Had a portion of chips were told these were gluten free as I have coeliac disease to find endless amounts of batter in with the chips. Chips also had a horrible colour to them as if the potatoes were badly bruised before frying. Will never get food from here again when it could out someone with allergies in hospital!

We think King Edwards fish and chips are the best in Weymouth!

Loved the food, the portions were excellent Not just the fish, but the chips were lovely too Sat in with our takeaway boxes and wooden cutlery, because no table service available (don't know if this is normal here) The 2 young girls keeping things clean were on the spot and doing an excellent service at keeping things clean, even picking up dropped things and sweeping throughly under tables between customers- well done If ever I'm in Weymouth again, I will definitely go here

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

After having an absolutely awful experience at a restaurant the night before we tried this place and we were so happy we did Food came in faster than i could sit down from ordering, lovely staff and the food was 10/10! The portion sizes were great, really cant fault this place and we will be back tomorrow 🤣

Amazing sea front fishing chips

Lovely white cod. They offered to split the portion of chips between two boxes for me as we don't eat many each, but still ended up with too many for both of us. Looks like they used to do table service, but now you buy take away and then use the tables inside to eat at, in take away boxes. Guess they'd need fewer staff. The ones they had, were all helpful and friendly. Recommend this place for great fish and chips.

Very disappointed to be served my food on a takeaway container in the restaurant, far too many chips mostly hard bits, charged 59p for tomato sauce after l had paid for the fish n chips, definitely wouldn't go back..

possible the best fish n chips in weymouth.. chips lovely n dry not oily the cod was full of flake lovely.. quick service as soon as our bums hit the sits the food was on the tables lovely and fresh friendly staff a must visit if your in weymouth

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

Huge portions! Great fish and chips kids meals are served in a bucket and spade which are big portions big enough for an adult too. Always busy.

Good fish and chips. Massive amount (could easily share ) enjoyed sitting in.

Great place to get food, option for the kids food to come in a bucket with spade, ready for the beach.

Paid £30 for 2 fish and chips, cod was lovely but the chips were gross, very thin and cooked till they were sharp and you couldn't bite them. If your a pensioner and you have false teeth don't eat the chips.

This place is excellent. The fish and chips are gorgeous. Not sure what batter they use but it doesn’t over power the fish. Lovely

Lovely Fish & Chips here yesterday on a visit for the day. Food was hot and really filling. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Very highly recommend

Really great fish and chips , service fast and efficient, love how the kids meal is served in a bucket and spade .

Best fish and chips in town and right on the seafront!

Staff are very friendly and helpful

We came here for lunch - 1 adult & 2 pre-teens. Spent £40 on a can of drink each, portion of scampi & chips, portion of chicken nuggets & a cod with large chips. Unfortunately we were all disappointed with the quality of the food & felt it was very overpriced for what it was.

Went here for a quick bite to eat. Reasonably good price too. My son had a huge amount of chips and lovely chicken nuggets, all served up in a bucket and spade, delicious they were too. Order food, and you can either stay there and eat them or takeaway 😋

FANTASTICALLY COOKED SUPERB FISH AND CHIPS, probably the best I have ever had !!!! We had 4 takeaways and one sit in during our holiday. Quality was perfect every time. Portions of chips and size of fish were mega !!!!

All four of us enjoyed our fish and chips, fish was very good and the chips where too. Service was in good time and our meals where hot.

Food and service was great, no complaints the restaurant is now used for everyone to eat their takeaway in free of charge if needed. It's expensive but you would expect that from a chippy on the sea front however the portion sizes were very good and we would come again

Chips are lovely and fresh and battered sausage was great. Having to be basically forced to have a kids meal served in a bucket with a spade is a really wierd concept, I queried this and the difference in having it in a box is 10p difference. Surely not having a bucket should be a reduction of at least £1. Food was great the bucket and spade thing is very odd

A classic big window cornershop chippy

Really efficient ordering system and great food. My 17 year old loved the bucket and spade meal.

Very tasty haddock and chips cooked to perfection! Large portions so no need to order large! Excellent service and friendly efficient staff. Do not miss ordering here!

Tried the haddock and cod, both equally good. Chips are moreish, chip shop curry sauce and mushy peas the perfect side. Chop butty is also a winner. Two days in a row so far, can we make it a hatrick!

Really disgusted with this. £53 for 4 people, that's without drinks. Small portions. Bland batter. Overall, very disappointing.

At first was hesitant as the queue was out door and we was in a rush to catch a train, however the queue was moving quickly. The young man took our order at the till assured us it won’t be a long a wait as I did ask and mentioned we had to get the train in 20mins . The service was very fast and very friendly as I did change my mind twice and the staff were so helpful. Will definitely be going again as we all enjoyed our delicious food on the train journey home.

The quality of the cod and chips was good. But sadly the absolute rudeness of the boss/chef towards his young staff was excruciating and spoiled the whole occasion for me! He was shouting and questioning one young lad, I’d say bullying is not too harsh a word! People should not support this business. Say no to bullying!

Lovely take away chips to eat on the beach . Good size portion, nicely cooked.

Great food at reasonable prices table service when dining in.

Visit King Edwards every year when we visit Weymouth, great size portion and food is delicious and not at all greasy unlike others I won't mention, highly recommend it!

Nice place, could have used a beer to go with the meal but that's not available. We had the haddock which was nice and tasty. It was a little disappointing that absolutely everything cost more (catsup included). The tarter sauce , etc was all pre-packaged which is safer, but can't it be home-made? The chips could have been a little more crispy.

Used to sell the best Fish and Chips from anywhere years ago. Small fish and very poor quality now.

Best fish and chips l have had for years! Very fast and friendly service. And great pea fritters too 😋

Came here about five years ago the fish was absolutely out of this world it was massive draping over the plate amazing service and it was our bench mark for all other fish and chippys, we never forgot it , it was a great place to eat you could even have a glass of wine with your meal and the quality was really good. We went back about a month ago and it had changed completely, the fish was half the size but no option for large portion just a standard size but the price as expected was higher no waitress service no passion remaining , just wish it was like it was

A great system in place - order at the window, find a seat, they bring it when it's ready, enjoy your meal. Food piping hot, good portions, reasonably priced.

The nicest cod I’ve had for a long time, lovely white flesh in crispy, tasty batter, chips were good too. Friendly, cheerful service.

Pure tourist trap for low quality fish and chip shop. There's plenty of other places that good good fish and chips. Locals know to avoid this place.

Soggy fish mostly batter chips were dry and bland fishcake was rancid avoid this place at all cost

Just brilliant, does what it says on the tin.

Had lovely fish and chips. Served quickly.

Fish and chips well cooked. Better than the soggy ones we had in Cornwall at Rick Stein’s takeaway. Only 4 stars because cod was huge flakes and v chewy in places.

Really nice food,would recommend

Amazing food, quick service and really friendly staff!! Thank you 😀

A fish and chip shop that also offers dine-in and take-out orders. There are two entrances, and for takeout, enter from the sea side and order. There are plenty of regular chips. They will ask if you want to add salt and vinegar.

Great fish n chips ,very clean ,good service great staff

Fantastic traditional fish & chip place! Batter was light and crispy, chips were hot, service was speedy. Definitely recommend!

Staff member was very rude upon entering that I left

When eating in they should supply sauces as you have already paid extra for using a table. They wanted to charge 59p for small sachet of tomato sauce. Salt and vinegar supplied.If eating in take your own.

We loved the fish and chips. Fish was very fresh with lovely crispy batter. They have tables where you can sit inside away from the gulls. Would definitely go again.

I usually go to Bennett’s for fish and chips, thought I’d try King Edward’s for a change. What a mistake that was 🙈 Ordered Haddock and chips and a Cappuccino. Fish was dry and tasteless, some chips were soft, some were hard and overall not great. Cappuccino was undrinkable. Dine in meal served in a take away tray, wooden disposable knife and fork, drink in a disposable cup. £18 spent for not a pleasant lunch. On the plus side, staff were nice, place kept clean.

Well Over price and fish was over cooked

Only lacking 1 star just for the prices but the best fish in Weymouth nicest batter the chips are so tasty at first I misjudged this place as lower than the rest but ended up eating there three times a week staff are superb especially as always so busy expect a queue BUT they get through the queues so fast 2024 came back and it was even better yes cod and large chips is over £14 but the portion is so big will fill you up for the day TRY THE HADDOCK🤤 also staff are great and attentive

"King Edward's fish and chips were absolutely delicious, with beautifully fresh fish that was a delight to savor. The only small complaint was that everything was too hot to eat immediately, a pleasant problem to have. The food quality was excellent, and the environment was nice. However, it would be even better if they offered table service in the seating area, instead of having customers order at the counter and then re-enter the seating area from outside. Additionally, the children's bucket meals looked fabulous - any little person would love eating out of a bucket and spade. A great dining experience for the whole family!"

Small fish, nuggets of the worst quality, fries also not great, there are better places

Great cod. . Slightly strange payment to seating process but I guess they have to be careful of inconsiderate public at times?

Quite simply.... The best fish and chips. Well cooked. Perfect batter. Crispy chips that are not too greasy or too dry.

Edwards food is freshly cook and tastes great. There is a restuarant but have to order at the takeaway and then they deliver to your table.

Great customer service , Probably the Best Fish, chips and Curry sauce in Dorset that we've ever eaten ,*****

Popped in for tea at King Edwards who are right by Weymouth beach and close to the train station. The are two sections to King Edwards, you order from the front and then walk outside and then back to the diner area where they will bring you your meal along with wooden cutlery. Ordered fish and chips for £11.80 which is the usual price for Weymouth. I have to say, its one of the best fish and chips I've had. Both fish and chips were freshly cooked, battered to perfection. I was definitely full after this delicious meal. It's was a shame that they don't offers and bundle meals except for kids like in my local area. Highly recommended fish and chips in Weymouth!

Own odd thing you paid one side then went in different part but fish and chips spot on

Always head here for my fish and chips when in Weymouth. The best you can get

Best fish and chips in Weymouth and we’ve tried quite a few. The fish was fresh with crispy batter and the chips were lovely and crispy too. No greasiness and the portions size was huge. The staff were friendly and chatty. Thank you.

Very nice sausage and chips. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced at about £6. Dining area was nice and clean, as were the toilets. Would happily visit again.

Great chunky cod and perfectly cooked chips with a tangy curry sauce.. Even came with its own wooden cutlery

Fries were cold and not well baked (white), fish very dry! An expensive disapointment .

Great food. Dog friendly which is so great on a chilly wet day. Great service.

Great fish and chip with friendly staff.

The portion is huge and the taste is just that.

Great fish and chips amazing batter. A must when visiting Weymouth.

Amazing place especially for the kids their fish and chips is served inside a bucket and spade that you can take away with you for the beach! How cool! Lovely friendly staff, Baby Changing and clean facilities throughout and the food was quality and very tasty! The portions were perfect for myself, my husband and toddler as our holiday came to an end , perfect way to finish up our holiday and we will be returning again soon for sure! Thank you

Great chip butty and service with a smile.

Restaurant is easy to reach. Located almost directly on the beach. The restaurant is rustic but clean. Service very friendly. Good choice. Big portion. Had cod&chips there. Everything was crispy and hot. Salt and vinegar are available at the table for seasoning. Gladly again. 👍

Wonder fish and chips one of the best I have had in the UK up until now . Wow keep up the great work . Will be back soon

This was rated very high and had lots of recommendations, I can definitely say it was up to standards. It was a great place to stop after walking from Bowleaze Cove. Dogs are allowed indoors, too, which was great.

My wife and I were staying at a B&B in Weymouth for a couple of days and decided that fish and chips was a great idea for our dinner, but unfortunately we chose this establishment out of all the others we could have dined in. We ordered cod and chips and two cans of drink and were charged the astronomical price of £31.36 for two of everything (cod - £15.90, peas - £3.98, chips - £7.70, cans - £3.78). Now we live in the Leicester and the bill for what we got would be around £10 less to eat in, so why, when we are in a fishing port, does fish and chips cost more than in Leicester which is 100 miles away from the sea? Alongside the price was the size of the portions and quality of the meal. The fish was half the size of the fish we would expect to be served in our local eat-in fish and chip shop and the chips were pretty scrappy (around half were a good size and the remainder were like scraps). So, do I feel I got value for money – no, do I feel it was a nice place to eat – no, would I recommend this place – no.

Cod and chips were excellent as were the staff. Very clean !

Our grandchildren loved this place because their fish, chicken, or sausage and chips were served in a brightly coloured plastic bucket and spade, which they could keep. What a great idea. My wife and I had battered sausage and chips, and it was fresh, crispy, and very tasty. Brilliant.

Very disappointed with the chips they served up tonight while at bike night, they were like yesterday,s leftovers, 🤢

Disappointed with the size of the large cod and chips I was served. The fish was small, the batter thin and a bit sad, and the chips didn't have that chippy taste to them. All in all it was not good. For £12 I expect more. I'm local and won't be coming here again.

As always, the food was fantastic,they had also opened the seating area, so it was nice to sit indoors it is definitely the place to go for fish and chips

Fantastic friendly service. Very good sized portions and children had theirs served with a free bucket and spade. We were allowed to take the dogs in as they are well behaved so that was a bonus as it had started raining.

Reasonable fish and chip shop, fish fresh and taste, chips warm and OK
