Marina Fish Bar in New Forest

Fantastic value for money £2 for a small portion of chips which was huge! And really tasty chips. Great polite service, now my favourite chippy in the area!

Staff really lovely and accommodating, really good chips and curry sauce!

A hard working team who produce excellent food. Thin, crisp batter on the fish and great chips. People have their local pub ,this going to my local fish and chip shop.

First visit since change of ownership. Used to be fantastic. Best around. No longer... Chips were lovely but fish, both cod and haddock, were horrible. Batter was inedible. Too thick, not crispy and not even cooked right through. Gloopy stodge.. Like undercooked frozen oven fish in batter. From the look of it, completely flat and smooth, it could even be frozen portions. Won't be returning unfortunately.

I'm now a regular customer and do disagree with some of the negative comments especially regarding the chips . Fish is cooked to order and have seen the cooks actually frying the chips also fresh . Can't fault it really and staff are very friendly and efficient

Absolute rubbish. I have been a customer of this fishbar for a number of years always the best in town. Since the change of owner in 2024, that has changed. Gone are the golden crunchy dry battered fish and tasty chips, replaced now with a dark brown oily batter and virtually inedible chips. It's seems that it's not just me, footfall is obviously down. Such a shame.

I completely disagree with some of these reviews!! I tried this Fish and Chips a few months ago since the new owners have taken over, and I cannot highly recommend enough. Best Fish and Chips around!!

Awful. Frozen Chips! Chip shop curry sauce! Clearly been Taken over by people who Don't Understand how to run a Chippy

I highly recommend it, the meal was excellent, definitely 5 stars!

Jolly good fish and chips. The pies are absolutely delicious, but sell out quickly. Possibly the best in the Southampton area.

Very good and quick service go above and beyond and a very relaxed atmosphere 😀C

Friendly service and delicious fish and chips! Served with a smile in great time 😊

Best fish and chips in the waterside

Oh dear .. having been regulars for the last 3 years we have not had a good meal tonight fish was over cooked and the batter was very flat and not at all crispy The sausage in batter was very hard and the chip Were not the best I know they are new owners so maybe a bit of a problem just tonight Hope they re think that batter

i couldnt disagree more , service was friendly and efficient , food cooked to order so fresh as it comes and in regards to curry sauce its chip shop curry sauce as you would expect from a chip shop , new favourite lunch spot

Popped in for lunch today , even though my fish was cooked to order I still got my food in a timely manner. The woman on the counter was very friendly and the customer service was exceptional. Glad to have chip shop style curry sauce back too. Will definitely be returning . Top notch !

Sad to see New owners and the food quality is poor. Batter was so thin on the battered sausages and sausage inedible as tasted of oil. Chips are meh (cheesy chips were good tho) And so sad to say the curry sauce is from a packet and vile! Battered Mushrooms we're so greasy they had no batter on them by the time they were unwrapped. Gutted as It was the best around and money waisted as our plates were left full. Chaps were friendly enough tho. Would not recommend.

I take back my 5 star review and will give it 2 star. New owners and now the food is no where near as good. The best curry sauce in the new forest is gone and replaced with what ever I was served. How can you mess up a battered sausage? Well you did, I couldn't tell what the awful after taste was after attempting to eat it. It would of been a 1 star but the chips where ok-ish. After years of spending a small fortune here they unfortunately won't get another penny and I'll stop telling every one this is the best chip shop around any more.

New owners and it’s nowhere near as good as it was. £7.70 for regular cod which was an orange colour, the batter was not light and crispy. The chips were in a soggy pile and after waiting 35 mins we expected better. Disappointing and we won’t be going back.

New owners have taken over and sad to say its not the same. My large cod was half the size and for £9.50 was too small. The chips whilst plentiful was full of little bits that should have not been mixed in. Also ordered was a cod roe. When we got home it was a fishcake which wasn’t enjoyed. I hope they improve but we won’t be going back until we hear it has improved

Fantastic fish and chips.,way too many chips though.

Great fish and chip shop. Every time I'm in the area I always make a point of popping in there and grabbing some of their gorgeous fish and chips. I Definitely recommend.

Had an order of 4 portions of fish and chips and 2 pots of curry sauce today, and the fish was cooked to perfection. The chips were so good and the curry sauce was excellent, I would definitely recommend.

Always nice food the staff are very friendly the girl in the mask is absolutely amazing . Always cooked fresh fish. The curry sauce is the best I have ever tasted.

Sorry but will have to say that it is not as good as it used to be. I'm not sure what fish (cod??) they use now but the portions are so thick & chunky, the fish inside had huge thick flakes and quite tough. Two portions of cod but tasted totally different to each other 🤷‍♀️ 3rd time this has happened now. Particularly tonight, not impressed. Had a few mouthfuls but left the rest. Shame as it's not cheap these days.

Great chippy very friendly and fish cooked to order. Hence sometimes a bit of a wait. But Well worth it 👌

Excellent place to go if you like a sea view in a comfortable restaurant with first class food. Really enjoyed seafood linguine and my husband loved his Brie and bacon omelette. Super place for a lunch stop.

My fish was a little greasy even though it was cooked by Marina herself.

Had cod and chips to share with my hubby as we weren't overly hungry, wished we got larger portion of chips as small was really small.

Shocking size of chips! This was ment to be a medium and large size of chips! I would have complained if I didn’t take the chips home first, very expensive for what we got which is a shame as the chips are lovely!

Greasy oven chips, over cooked tasteless fish, poor portion size, curry sauce was disgusting and not a chip shop curry sauce. Expensive.

Food cooked fresh and it is the best Fish&chips for miles around.

absolutely ridiculous hardy got any chips after ordering a large got barely any

Loveley chips from here .11:30 am on a beautiful morning.

I visited here and ordered Plaice and regular chips, and wasn't disappointed with what I received. The food is freshly cooked, but the wait wasn't too long. The fish was massive and very tasty, and the chips were a good portion as well. I enjoyed the whole meal, it is probably the best fish and chips I have had in a while and for what I had was not over priced. If I am back in the area again I will be back.

Great fish and chips. Best I have had for a long time! Though curry sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Do not go here food turned out cold and bland. Curry sauce was very watery and onion rings were rank. I wouldn’t order here If I was you and chips were green

Waited 20 minutes for cheesy chips, not even melted, days old and greasy

Chips tasted crispy n greasy , like they were pre cooked then later double dipped. Most disgusting greasy chips I've ever tasted, had to bin them😞 now starving 😩. Would give no stars if i could.

The best fish and chips in the area

I brought cod and chips tonight, and it was the most disgusting fish I've ever had. Definitely do not reccomend

Delicious fish and chips, all freshly cooked.

Renting a cottage in Hythe - we normally do one night in a place of fish & chips. These were so good we returned 3 times in a week. Each piece of fish cooked to order - chips firm and fantastic (so many places you get soggy chips)

Lovely fish and chips will be back again

Great chips and battered sausage! You have to wait for some items but that's because they're cooking them fresh. Delicious!

Excellent fish shop they always cook the fish to order so always lovely, fresh and hot.

Lrg Fish , Spring Rolls ň Curry Sauce with a bun . Lovely

This is a rare find. Put it on your list of places to visit. The cod was 11/10, absolutely superb, as were the chips, battered sausage and fish cake. And not only that, but fed a family of 3 adults for £16.

Great food, freshly baked, good staff, some parking outside, and a big carpark nearby x

A little pricey, but best chips around.

Best fish and chips in the area. Fish cooked to order.

Really good flavours. Some of the best we ever tried. Whatever they are doing, as of Sep 2021, they are doing it well!

Great fish and chips ... pricey but worth the cost .. generous portions and always consistently delicious !

Wonderful fish & chips, good service & value for money

Good value, high quality fish and chips in Hythe

As ever by far the best fish and chips. Cooked to perfection.

The best fish and chips locally. Freshly cooked so a small wait but worth it. Staff are friendly and helpful Open lunch time and evenings Cash only

Get the jumbo sausage, chips and homemade curry sauce. You won't regret it

Great fish and chips. Not 5 stars because their ordering and collection is confused during Covid and too many people were standing in a very small space inside.

Had fish & chips a few times now always very fresh..

all items are cooked to order so sometimes service can be a bit slow but worth the wait

Excellent tatsy fish. Always cooked fresh. Very friendly and superb value for money 😉

This was the first time we have been here and it certainly won't be the last. The queue is there for a reason! The fish and chips were freshly cooked to order. The tasty cod was cooked in a delicious batter and the chips were fluffy and not at all greasy. The portions were generous. A great start to the weekend!

Lovely fish and chips. Big portions

Best fish and chips anywhere. Friendly service Everything cooked to order, fresh.

Fresh cooked fish and chips. Large portions and always clean and presentable

Lunchtime visit. Cooked fresh for me. Cod was chunky and flaky with a nice crisp batter. Chips pretty good too. Large portions for the money. Well worth a visit.

Best chip shop ever 👌 The curry sauce is amazing!!

You cant beat the curry sauce on your chips

Best fish and chips I've had in years and cooked to order so very hot and fresh... highly recommend

The best fish and chips locally! We only come to marina fish bar now, the portions are good value for money, the curry sauce is delicious. Food is fresh and hot. We recommend to friends when they come to hythe, and great to take to the beach or locally around hythe to watch the boats go by.

Brilliant good quality and value thanks

Great fish and chips shame its cash only never carry much these days

Always good. Family love the chips.

Closed when it says it is open.

Visited following a locals recommendation. Friendly service. Very nice fish and chips. As it’s a take away only I ate them in the park nearby. Took these pictures on my visit.

Best fish and chips in the new forest

Fish and chips very good battered sausage a must best I’ve Ever had I would definitely recommend this place

Lovely chippy and lovely older lady with her fryer chappy serving tasty food in an efficient manner with a choice selection of fried grub & pies etc etc.

Great service, great food and great prices. It was quiet when I went in so there was no wait and was served instantly :)

F & C were excellent, such a pity you have to wait such a long time for it, could do with another member of staff, particularly on Fridays....

Fab fish and chips lovely crisp bit of a wait but worth it for the quality and freshness of the food

Lovely fish and chips plus cook to order

Excellent food. Service is a bit slow but worth the wait.

Always good quality at a good price

Tasty freshly cooked fish and chips for us this evening. However they only take cash, sachets of Ketchup etc are 25p extra and they had no napkins/serviettes...

Food is of good quality, however waiting 30 mins for battered sausage and chips is way too long. There is only 2 staff and they seem to struggle when there a few customers.

Hit or miss with this place. Was lovely

Very highly recommend Fish & Chip shop. Chips are always perfectly cooked and accompany the lightly battered, succulent fish perfectly. The jumbo sausages are awesome!

It's a fish and chips shop which sells superbly fried fish and chips

Having lived in the area for over a year, today was the first time I fancied a cheeky fish and chips dinner from this place. Can’t say I regret that decision at all.Food is made to order and was very fresh and not greasy in the slightest.Can imagine that the wait can be a bit long when busy but that’s the price you pay for having your food made to order and it would be worth the wait.Lovely food and very reasonable. Go on, treat yourself

Great quality fish and chips, good value/price and service. Freshly cooked while you wait. We've had fish and chips here loads of time and quality is consistent. Haven't tried anything else but they have pies, sausages, curry sauce, pickled eggs, fishcakes, etc.

This is without doubt the best Chippie on the waterside. The fish is cooked to perfection and the chips are never greasy

Had this as a Friday night treat while I was over for my best friend's wedding, We had a bit of a wait as there were four groups before us but the advantage of this is that our fish was cooked fresh to order! My friend had eaten from there before and hadn't found it great but he said that this time it was much better than he remembered, the portions are big too!

Always good,fresh food,oil clean. Only down side is always busy and service is slow so be prepared to wait

Marina fish and chips it our weekly Friday night treat! The Marina Fish Bar is a five minute walk from home. How lucky is that? It never fails to please. Rosie always has cod and chips, Brian has scampi or cod. Whatever you choose you can be confident it will be very good.

A modern Chinese couple established this take away a few years ago and are frequently busy .

Always enjoy fish n chips from Marina fish bar grest pea fritters too Fish is not cut to thin like other chip shops in area and is nice white and fresh

Freshly cooked to order , so may have a wait for your order , but worth it ! Can't beat fresh chips ! No wonder it had the reputation it does

The chips are very small for the price I brought my 2 children (9/11) a large portion of chips to share and there wasn't enough 😞😞, but nice food x
