The haddock was excellent. It was firm to eat and hadn't gone mushy, like from some fish places I've been to where it seems to sweat inside the batter. This was perfect 👌 🐟 And the chips were excellent too. If I'm down Portsmouth way again, I will definitely call here again. It's now starred on my Google maps as a reminder 🌟 👍

OMG, the best Fish n chips we’ve experienced ever. The batter is to die for & not oily at all. The taste of freshness in the substantial fish was superb. The service by Nicky was first class. Nothing is any bother. Quality has been consistent for years. Well done Paulsgrove Deep Blue & management. Thank you for being there.

Attended today for a takeaway. Service was excellent. Peter and Nicky were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble when cooking 2 big orders. The food looks very appetising and can't wait to get home to eat it. Service was first class. A huge thank you and these guys should be given a pay rise for being such good ambassadors for deep blue.

1. Quarter of lemon would make more sense - the size of lemon you serve is pathetic and unusable! 2. Mushy peas - were cold 3. Why no pepper on the table ??? 4. One pot of tartare per portion would be nice - why not serve homemade. Compared to Chez Fred in Bournemouth these fish and chips have lost their edge.

Came here because I really fancied fish and chips, and where I live ours is mediocre and overpriced, but not here. Was delighted when I found they had deep-fried pickles on the menu, one of my personal favourites, so snapped up the opportunity to try them out; they were delicious. We ordered a fish and chips each: a large cod and a large haddock. To say they were large would be a massive understatement. It was really lovely, as was the chips and sides we ordered. They were amazing too. Shoutout to the bread and butter: simply lovely. It would be remiss of me not to mention the lovely staff, especially our server Gilli, who was very happy, helpful, and chatty. It made our experience all the more enjoyable. We will definitely be back soon and look forward to doing so.

Whilst this place with its clunky parking arrangements (exacerbated by selfish users) was moderately acceptable on a previous visit, it certainly was not on a recent Saturday evening. Inexplicably, there was only one person front of house in a nearly full restaurant. They were working fast and methodically but there was a growing backlog of tables waiting even to order. Eventually, a previously invisible person was coaxed out of the kitchen where, as far as I could see, they were equally needed. I expected the preparation rate to suffer. The action was too little, too late. We left.

I travel 15 miles to buy my Fish and Chips from Mother Kelly’s avoiding several other shops that are nearer and cheaper purely because it used to be really good. However, no one minds prices going up, it’s the economy we’re all in now, but the bag you see is Mother Kelly’s new large chips ( it used to be a box now it’s 3/4 of a scoop. Barely enough to feed my cat! ), the 2 large cod were jammed in one box so when I got them back they’re all broken, no offer of salt and vinegar and all served by a New member of staff who didn’t have a clue what he was doing. Surely there are better ways of making Cut Backs! I won’t be buying from Mother Kelly’s again, but thank you for the service I’ve had over the last 15 years.

Appalling service. Ordered 2 portions of REGULAR haddock with REGULAR chips, with 2curry sauces and it came to £40:60. That in its self was well and truly overpriced , but we had had a week and couldn’t be arse to cook so thought what the hell we don’t do this often. Delivery time given of between 6:30-650pm…… 7:30pn in on the phone with the chippy asking what’s going on, to be told the driver left without taking our order. I could clearly see that driver had been waiting for at least 15-20 minutes for this delivery and obviously got peed off and left cause he has other deliveries to make. Deliveroo have been amazing and refunded the extortionate amount that we paid, but we will definitely not be using this chippy again!!!!

ordered 4 small chips 1 sausages 1 battered sausage and 2 saveloy’s with a pot of curry sauce . chips were absolutely tasteless and luke warm but it was all cooked to order. the saveloys were very rubbery and dry and all the skins was split it was like they were microwaved to death . chips were stuck to the cardboard so you couldn’t eat them all without eating cardboard. the curry sauce was like someone had poured a salt pot into it no curry taste whatsoever . you couldn’t even taste the vinegar. and for the value of money that was absolutely shocking. i travelled far to visit my mums grave today and thought i would treat everyone but that was absolutely disgusting and shocking (it wasn’t even busy)

Possibly the best fish and chips in the Portsmouth area….. I searched Google and Trip Advisor to find the best place to take my parents for fish and chips when they visited for Christmas. For some reason Deep Blue didn’t feature in my search results and in my opinion should. I ordered a large portion and was not disappointed. I got a big cod with crispy batter and an ample portion of good chips and peas. My dad had the same as me and my mum chose the OAP menu option which she was also pleased with and struggled to finish. I made a good choice here and the next time I fancy fish and chips I will be returning to the Deep Blue. There is no need to search the internet to find the best place- I already know where they are.

I'd heard about Mother Kelly's for years, but hadn't previously stopped by. Well, recently that changed. The closest note to criticism I could muster, would be that the one-way car park doesn't appear to be obviously sign-posted, and you may find yourself entering the exit. You always know the food and service will be good in a Deep Blue restaurant, and Mother Kelly's is no exception. Be sure to use the self-serve tablets at the counter for a discount off your order, though the fantastic level of family friendly service you'll get from any one of the lovely individuals here is worth every penny. With a rustic dining area and separate counter area for ordering that will put you in mind of a classic 1950's esque diner, you can't go wrong with some traditional and deliciously cooked fish and chips!
