Long Johns in North Dorset

Great place if you want rubbish chips we spent about £18 pound in here and not happy with the chips we received what a waste of money!!!

This business does not accept cash, boycott! Also, £3.30 for a small tray of chips is daylight robbery - not enough to share anymore! Will never go here again.

Friendly staff - shame the menu doesn’t quite match expectations ! £8 for a large cod… it was the same size as a Sky remote control !! Not great at all. Also large chips v regular chips…. Same amount just different size boxes !! #ripoff

I found a hair in my food so was very unhygienic , plus food was very average and overpriced definitely for one will not be returning

Drove five miles for fish and chips only to be told its card payments only. No information on the website. Waste of time and petrol. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS

A young man was behind the counter today, he was cooking, taking orders from the customers who entered the premises with a smile. Plus taking payments He did a brilliant job. I had to ask his name “ Archie”. You did a good job.

Good food, never had a problem and service very good, ordered online and ready when said it was, have used before and will continue to do so

Evie LG was brilliant!! Can recommend. 5 stars. Her service was exemplary and customer relations was outstanding. Fab.

Offer of two small cod and one large chips was fine for £10 but won't return due to card only policy . Cash is my choice so I'll spend it elsewhere.

I’ve just been to longjohns in Blandford to get fish and chips. First time. I’ve used this chip shop in a long time. The fish was approximately 8 inches long in about a quarter inch thick chips. Have a good standard but the fish is very poor there. I definitely would not recommend this chip shop

Lovely pleasant lady served me.Olny ordered chips and curry sauce thank goodness. Given mostly what I would say was a bag of scraps and curry sauce was so thick and pretty tastless

We've used this takeaway over several years whilst holidaying in the area. However on our latest visit and after spending £30 on fish and chips for four I have to say this was the worst I have ever had. There was virtually no fish inside the batter, I have seen more in a fish finger ! The chips were either overcooked or re warmed as they were virtually inedible. I tried emailing their admin. with the complaints and had no response. We will not be returning and certainly not recommending them.

Spent £19.10 on two large fish and a large chips and the fish I would describe as a small and was made up of mostly batter, fish was dry and tasteless and by far the worst we have ever had! For a chip shop 25minutes from poole it was far from satisfactory! Won’t be back

We normally go to the other fish and chip shop, however, we thought we'd give this one a go, as we haven't been there for a while. We ordered a standard haddock along with other bits, when my husband opened the box we couldn't believe our eyes, the piece of fish was so small, I honestly thought it was a joke. So disappointing, we'll probably won't bother again!

We visited here after a trip to a nearby National Trust place. We had done this once before and really enjoyed the food from here. We ordered 2 large portions of fish and chips to share between 4 of us. Normally at other establishments this is plenty and we have leftovers. Today we were charged £31 for 2 portions with 4 cans of drink 🥵. They were wrapped up automatically without asking if I wanted salt and vinegar. Only when I prompted them at the end did they offer me a separate bag with the salt and vinegar sachets in. I do not feel this is very environmentally conscious dispensing plastic vinegar sachets. The bag was then stapled closed which I thought was a bit of a health and safety no go risking lose staples near food. The food was tasty but I’d say the size of a standard not large portion. The price was a bit much. The salt and vinegar setup is daft. The staples were bonkers. We won’t be back.

Excellent fish & chips, but !!! don't expect to get them on time. I pre-ordered for collection and when I turned up on time the fish hadn't even gone in the fryer. Eventually received the order 20 mins. later. OK a 5 min. delay would have been acceptable but 20 minutes !!!!!! There is another chippy in town.

Excellent fish and chips. Freshly cooked, crispy batter, nice chips, beautifully packaged in recyclable containers. Speedy delivery. Would definitely order again. Thank you.

So we had a flyer through the door offering free delivery, we have never tried Long Johns so thought we'd use their website to order our dinner and have it delivered for free. The website is brilliant and placing an order couldn't be simpler however that is the best the experience got. I pre ordered and requested a set time for delivery that evening, the allotted time rolled around and no food arrived, I gave it 10 minutes as sometimes places can be busy and deliveries difficult, still no food. It's at this point that I gave the shop a call for the girl at the end of the phone to sigh and say that my order was in front of her and she would get the delivery sorted, I didn't receive an apology for the delay. When the food arrived another 5 minutes later the thought that had been going through my head was realised, our food had been waiting somewhere for a while as it was barely lukewarm and had to be reheated before we could eat it. So I don't know if they hadn't read the order correctly to see it was for delivery, even though the order slip that came with it was printed half an hour before the delivery time and it stated on it delivery and the time for delivery or just expected it to be collected, who knows. Had the food been delivered hot it may well have been enjoyable however the large portion of chips did not feed 3 people and the mushy peas were more watery green liquid than actual peas.

tried ordering online, except £7.50 minimum. order, so turned up and queued, so what was supposed to be a large portion of chips, well they werent by any means. So back to the forum frier !! seriously what's with the £7.50 minimum order when you have to collect anyway

Very stale chips, it was as if they were cooked yesterday. Very disappointed, there are much better options around for the same price.

walked up to the door as only doing click and collect which is fair enough. When I couldnt get a signal on my phone to place an order the guy who was cooking told me go away in a very rude manner and told me to go home and order from there. I will NOT be returning there again which im sure will make him happy.

Asked for two small fish today and a large bag of chips plus mushy peas and they wanted £17. Yes £17 for a quick bite to eat. There was no menu by the front door as not allowed over the step due to covid. I understand that cash not accepted but payment only allowed by CONTACTLESS card. Don't use them due to doubts about their security. They refused my debit card so they lost out on a very expensive £17 of hard earned cash and I won't be ever eating there again. Would have liked a menu by the door to check how they got to £17 for such a normal little meal!!!

Very over priced small fish and chips at £7.90 and greasy batter. Savaloy was THE smallest i’d ever had,didn’t know they made savaloys 3” long and at £2 each I won’t be going back!!

I am so happy with my halloumi and chippies, I was in a pregnant fuelled rage when I ordered online but now I am in a land of food happiness. Very yummy and a very efficient service. Good portion sizes. Thank you.

Long John's always produces a consistently high standard of tasty fish and chips at very reasonable prices. The staff are always happy and interact so well with the customers. The portions are always large and portioned up just as requested. Can't fault them at all.

Great portions. Also smaller portions available. Nice clean place. All the old fashioned favourites available. Curry sauce and mushy peas also

The young girl serving clearly does not know the words please or thank you, they were instead replaced with yes, what and here you are.No offer of salt or vinegar, not a huge issue as I have both at home. The chips I feel could have done with a little longer and the fish was poor, more skin than fish.

Called in on a Wednesday night for a small portion of chips.The shop wasn’t busy and luckily for me they were just taking some chips out of the fryer.You can add your own salt and vinegar in the shop.Chips were golden, hot and tasty.

We were recommended to visit as the best in the area whilst on holiday. Wasn’t disappointed, made to order which guaranteed a tasty meal.

Love their fish and huge portion of chips. It's our favourite treat every now and then! All the best

Arranged delivery or 15 people, they were so helpful and the food was delivered on time and pipping hot. It was all delicious! Thanks to Charlie and Emma for their excellent service

Partner and I fancied cod and chips drove to town after reading reviews we decided on long johns Blandford. What a disappointment their fish looked nice until we tried to eat it the batter wasn’t cooked it was gooey and fish tasted horrible. We live in seaside place so use to fresh fish this was clearly frozen and dreadful. Would have taken back but staying at caravan site and leaving tomorrow so put it down to experience. Do not want others to be caught out by reviews we read. Very bad I had to review.

Literally the worse chips I have ever eaten. Cheap oven chips would appear gourmet in comparison. Fine dining you may say. Business model for perspective chip shop owners: make a chip shop of ANY quality and it will be #1 in Blandford Forum within minutes.

I like the treat of fish & chips, especially on Friday after a busy week. I’ve visited Long John’s many times and bought fish & chips for the family. The fish is always excellent (both cod & haddock) and the chip portions generous, and the prices pretty reasonable too. The fish is fresh, always cooked to order, and worth the wait, though they do take telephone orders now, and also take credit cards. The staff are friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

great fresh fish, fast service and hotter than the sun. Offers all the standard chip shop fare at good prices. Watch out for the sliding door though, it messes with your mind!

We have eaten food from your takeaway for years, but tonight the only word that can describe our food is "Rubbish".

Just managed to get there 10 minutes before they closed at lunchtime - no problem. We ordered 3 children's portions of fish & chips. They were served in grease proof bags, handy to sit on the bench, with the grandchildren, and watch the traffic go down the street. They were piping hot & delicious. There was just the right amount of fish for small children and the elderly! We will certainly be returning next year when on holiday in Dorset.

Been here many times, generally good to very good but tonight was a real let down, chips not cooked and very greasy, gravy had a weird taint, batter tasted burnt and the pineapple fritter (thought I'd go old school) was soggy, hopefully this was a one off as they're normally very good, it was collected for me so not being there I'd guess that they have a different fryer on as the chap usually on was/is excellent

Yo llamé para pedir mi comida respondieron y dijeron que cerca a las 9 fue justo antes de que fue registrado como doble un manojo sábado noche dijeron viernes abren hasta las 10. En la ciudad ya no intentó un montón de otros y me impresionó, no estoy seguro de si volveré aquí ahora otro. Una pena, ya que normalmente el personal aquí precio amable.

Soy nuevo en Blandford, así que hacer un poco de compras navideñas en la ciudad, me pareció una entrad en el local "fish and chips" por una bolsa de patatas fritas, lo que fue un error.

Niche little chippy in Blandford, and I'll visit again when I'm back here. Photo: Small Cod Small Battered sausage

Not great portion sizes on the fish plenty of chips but tasted reheated.have tried here before and found similar ok but not great. Please note this is a takeaway no seating

No es el mejor fish and chips alrededor, la comida no está muy bien escurrido. No está mal para una escapada de última hora de la comida.

Tener ordenados y pagamos para pescado 2 Grandes y patatas fritas esta noche quedamos muy decepcionados con el tamaño de los peces absolutamente diminuto! creo que hubiera sido todavía impactados por el tamaño, incluso si me había pedido el pequeño! Si no hambre que yo hubiera tomado de regreso! Las patatas fritas eran abundantes, aunque no muy bien cocinada! no estará en cualquier prisa para visitar de nuevo!

Being residents of the area, my wife and I have visited Long John's regularly across the years. As such, I feel that we can make a balanced assessment. Generally, we have found the service friendly and efficient and, based upon recent experience (which is more valid to those requiring a recent opinion), the standard of food has been high. Our experience is that there is less oil left on the food than similar local shops. This 'chippy' will certainly continue to be our port of call when a convenience meal is indicated.

I've been to Long John's Fish and Chips a few times and it is always very delicious. They are open convenient times, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The fish cakes are amazing.

Average fish and chip shop. Not alot more to say really. In the middle of town near local pubs. Better chip shop further up the town.

We went here as it had good reviews on Trip Advisor. Found easily enough opposite prezzo and near the church. We had the 'normal' size fish portion and a small chips and some mushy peas. The fish portion was small, the mushy peas were mostly liquid. It was served quickly and there was not too much batter on the fish, but the portions were about half of what we would get from our ' local' chip shop.

Great fish and chips and quick with the service as well. It does get busy this is due to good food. We will go again.

Just been to the georgian fair in Blandford Forum and had fish n chips from Long John's Fish n chips they were delicious fresh and not greasy highly recommend

Unusually, the meal was not great. The chips tasted as though they had been warmed up from lunchtime and the fish, despite asking for it to be lightly battered, was definately not. Since payment is taken before the meal is prepared, and is wrapped out of sight of the customer, there is no opportunity to reject it.

Just moved now live near Blandford and hoped to find a good chippy. Have now tried this one three times and have been disappointed every time by soggy chips, fish is pretty good but I throw half the chips away!

Whilst staying for a week we bought fish and chips from Long Johns. Ok we know we shouldn't but they were so good. Cooked fresh to order I made a mistake when he said large, should have gone for the smaller sized haddock but I did finish it. Fish was very tasty and chips were nice. Well a treat once in a while is ok!

To go with the lovely Chinese from wings a few doors up the road, we wanted chicken and chips for some of the family. This place is great and we'll organised. Food was nice. Chips are quite soft rather than crispy but very tasty. Would recommend

Lovely F & C. The fish is cooked to order so doesn't hang around on a heated rack getting dry. I really like this place.

The food here was good with maybe just a bit too much batter on the fish. And a little bit pricey. Would go here again, seems very popular.

A well run chippy. Always fresh cooked fish, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. Lovely chips and friendly staff to boot. Just the thing on those cant be bothered to cook days!

Having recently moved from Blandford I have realised what a great chippy this was, my local chippy is rubbish in comparison. Great cod in batter and good chips.

Very good freshly cooked fish and chips which is my favourite, my wife enjoys saveloy and pea fritter. They have a good range of products, and the shop is spotlessly clean and all of the food is cooked to order.I note one reviewer said the food is sometimes greasy, a tip to avoid this is to ask the counter staff NOT to roll up the top of the bag the food is in as this causes it steam and become soggy.You will find your food much nicer if you do this.

A friendly reception; easy parking by the church; good selection and reasonable prices. As with some fish and chip shops, the food is occasionally too greasy. There's no indoor seating - it's strictly a take-away. Cash only...

We often have our fish & chips from here and never been disappointed, the batter is always nice and crispy and the chips are cooked well.

I recently moved to Blandford and popped into this chippy and was presently surprised! The staff and the food here are great, expect to wait a bit as they cook everything fresh for you! Well worth the trip :-)
