Mikes Traditional Fish & Chips in Eastleigh

went in when they opened thinking i would get a fresh piece of battered fish and chips but both were not very hot and fish already cooked never again

Very tasty fish and chips. Fish is always moist and flakey.

Best chips locally! Great value for Money and very big portions!

We've never had anything other than fantastic food and service from the team. Keep up the great work!!

The food i ordered was definately not 'cooked to order'. The chips were awful, had clearly been hanging around for a considerable time. Shop was very quiet, probably wanted to use up what was cooked even tho they had gone past the point of no return. Battered sausage was okish. Overall very disapointing meal, would not recommend or ever return

Fantastic service the fish is tasty and so fresh . Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fish and Chips here are amazing. So are the staff. 5 stars well deserved

Always friendly service, everything fresh and hot and the best fish and chips for miles

Terrible food ,,chips not cooked properly ,, burger was dry cheese just plonked on top ,, probably the worst chippy i ever had

Once a month we like to have fish and chips as a treat tonight was that night and again didn’t disappoint. Staff friendly, food cooked fresh and reasonable pricing too. Could recommend enough. Can see why they’re always getting nominated for awards 5*

This chip shop is dirty how did the get a 5 star rating, the chip portion are terrible a large doesn’t even feed 2 adults, portions are well over priced. It’s filthy in there.

Chips were full of hard bits. All in all I expect more for my money. I read that they are going for award maybe things have improved since my visit, but I will not be going there again.

Quick service, clear menu and options (fish skin on or off etc), polite and friendly staff. Altogether a positive atmosphere. Fab packaging, the food was still too hot to eat even though it took me over half an hour to get home. Delicious fish and perfect chips, neither were soggy even though it was in the same box. Curry sauce is perfectly thick for dipping and tastes amazing too. Best fish and chips I've ever had!

Shows open on Sunday... It's NOT

Good quality food and nice team of staff a good family business

Amazing fish and chips! Having grown up in the North East I've been spoiled for good fish and chips, but Mike's is consistently of a high standard and has been our go-to chippy for several years now. Friendly staff and a good loyalty card system too.

Great fish and chips in the country wouldn't go anywhere else

Top tier proper chippy. Go in December for deep fried stuffing, it’s incredible

Excellent fish and chips and good value, with a wide range of options.

Always top notch fish and chips from this great local chippy. Prompt, friendly service. Highly recommend signing up to their generous reward/discount scheme

Simply the best in Bishopstoke. Great for a simple date, eat by the river opposite the Anglers Pub and go for drinks afterwards.

Really great food and fantastic service! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for our fish and chips.

Brilliant food fantastic people allways friendly and helpful the fish is so fresh best place around 👍

Absolutely shocked by the food. This place has truly gone down rapidly. I dont know what oil they are using to fry items, but it needs to change. Horrible fish, which was mushy and the batter was very dark and tasted bad. Never again will I order from here.

🐠Friendly staff,🍟 food always very good. 🌊Fast service 🐟🍽️

Food was great staff very happy and friendly great experience

Friendly staff, lovely fish and chips. Always cooked fresh to order.

My kid always asks for the kids cod meal with bubble gum drink from Mikes when we are having a fish supper. Even if we are miles away we have to drive back there to get it 😂

Lovely friendly staff. Tasty hot fresh food. Great offers for VIP members. Highly recommended.

Oh Dear This used to be the go to Chippy but something is seriously off, the chips were hardly cooked almost white and limp the reg cod much smaller than usual, fishcake was like cardboard & apparently the pea fritter was not good, we were members here but won't be back after this £25 family meal time to tear up the card !

Very friendly staff Free parking Great food freshly cooked Good deals at lunch time

Always tasty, fresh and great value for money. Staff friendly and the service is quick and professional. 👍to my local chippy 😀

Great tasting food and fast and friendly service. Always recommend to friends and family.

No idea how this got awarded best chippy ordered a regular cod and chips was awful the fish was so thin and small hardly any fish was undercooked with gooey batter and undercooked chips was the worst fish and chips I have ever had in my life very poor quality indeed for the high prices

Second visit. First was fine. This one was appalling. One large, one regular cod, large chips...£20.10. Regular cod had batter which was undercooked and raw, floury, on inside, large was the thinest fillet possible. Any thinner and it would've been invisible. So all batter miniscule cod. First time, cooked to order. All of this came off the shelf in seconds. Oh, very soggy chips. 1700 hours approx...Friday 16th.

Not sure about the bad reviews, I had a great experience. We had chips, sausage, battered sausage, fishcake and two types of pies. Everything was very good, couldn't fault anything. Nice, friendly staff as well, even just before closing. Thanks Mike's and thanks to all your staff.

Best chippy around great food staff friendly great service alround.

There was a problem with one of the cookers. They put notices around and pointed it out to customers and apologised to each person for the delay. Very friendly atmosphere and great fish and chips x x x x x

Was the best Chip shop in the area has gone downhill a bit recently. Good selection of things to choose from. Curry sauce not the best taste wise ( also was cold like it came out of the fridge). Items recently have been far to oilly need draining better (bags and food are dripping in oil). Shame was my favourite chippy.

Yum ! Delicious cod and chips freshly cooked while you wait.

Great fish and chips and other options offered too. Good portion sizes.

Love getting fish and chips from here never had a issue thanks guys

Proper good chippy, reasonably priced and cheap.

About What I expect from a chip shop, chips mixed lot of normal fatty chips and some dried bits, they taste fine, usually have cod roe, which usually fine, sometimes the batter isn't so good

Not that good fish batter greasy chips soggy won’t be going back

Friendly service, let's you know if there is a bit of a wait. Wonderfully fresh cooked fish and chips

My local chip shop & always very nice. Staff very friendly and patient when ordering

Always divine. Best Fish & chips in town. We have been having the hake instead of Cod lately & it's just as good

Mike's is our go to for fish and chips. Everything is always fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable. There's a reason they keep winning awards!

We have been using this chip shop for many years, all the way back to when it was Nicks. The quality of the food, the service and everything all is fab. I have to say being local I am very proud to support the business and proud of their achievements. All in all a top chippy !

Our local chippy … how lucky are we! The food is beautifully cooked, MSC sustainable fish wrapped in crispy light batter. Delicious. Chips are tasty but not greasy. Servings are generous. Never disappoints. Staff are welcoming cheerful friendly attentive people. We love it!

Always friendly and flexible. They are willing to provide you with whatever you order if possible.

Amazing fish and chips, hands down best in Southampton, try the alternatives to cod.

Mikes traditional fish and chips are excellent in food, service and always very clean. The food is always cooked fresh and is always delicious

Lovey chips really nice quality fish which is cooked to order. Lovely little touches with signs telling you what potato is currently in use and current wait time! Also well worth joining the VIP scheme where you get regular perks and offers! Great that they do Haddock again!

I travel four miles, past several others, to collect fish and chips from the best place around here. Excellent food, jovial staff and a nice selection of choices, sizes and extras to pick from.

Best chippy in the area, I've never been disappointed!

Best fish and chips in town , lovely fish and the batter is lovely and crisp

We love Mikes! We walk 3 miles to get the best fish and chips ever, sit by the river to eat them and then walk home. Calorie free?! Always delicious x

I'll travel a bit to get to Mike's as chips are the best and battered fish chunky and delicious.

This place is amazing have been eating here for 3 years now staff are always friendly and the food in my opinion is the best fish and chips I have ever tasted ,

A fantastic chippy, always freshly cooked and good quality friendly staff and so helpful wouldn't go anywhere else

Just wanted to praise all the staff working tonight (21st Oct) they were all working brilliantly together! The young lad who took our order had great customer service presence and I'm sure he'll go far. The other lad had a smashing smile. Keep up the great work! We'll back soon 😊

Best batter I have had crisp but not oily rally great stuff

I was very surprised to just read such negative reviews. I usually only use one chip shop near my home in west end but tonight was out on the road so tried it and very much LOVED IT. No greasy vile chips absolutely not! I have to say you can tell why they have so many awards I was reading all the stuff on the walls - a very very popular place by the read! AND very pleasant happy staff no complaints at all. I highly recommend.

The establishment was recommended with trip advisor and word of mouth. Unfortunately, my experience was awful. The product was so oily that the paper bag was saturated with oil to such an extent that I had to wash the rubber mat in my car. Singularly bad experience

Lovely meal of haddock and scampi with chips. Despite being busy served within the time they said would have to wait service with a smile.

Ordered a takeaway 3 times. First two times was good but the 3rd I got half a fish coated in solid, inedible batter. Not bothering again, getting fed up with inconsistent food, most takeaways nowadays are awful.

One of the few places that does pea and Spam fritters. Both delicious!

Lovely fish & chips. Staff were lovely & helpful. Will definitely be back! 😊

Had an absolutely delightful meal from mikes today! Staff were amazing and polite and were very helpful in offering recommendations. All in all lovely staff, lovely food, lovely experience would recommend to anyone!

I agree with other reviewers that our lovely local chippy has gone down the hill. We’ve ordered from here for the last 2 years and fish and chips used to be the best ever. We were thinking things will improve but after today I don’t think we will come here any more. The fish is often quite oily and all the oil needs blotting out every time so the fish is actually edible. Today however it was so overcooked and dry (as per photos) it was not enjoyable to eat whatsoever. Really disappointed and will not be coming back.

Sadly a very dire experience. Chips looked and tasted like they had been cooked about a week ago and probably longer. Loads of bad bits. Battered sausage ok ish, had to eat something. Disappointing when your hungry and looking forward to a decent meal. Not been to this shop for years and won't be rushing back for many more years Total waste of Money. Worse thing we're still hungry and out of pocket. On a positive note, the lad that served us seemed pleasant enough

Food was really nice, affordable and staff friendly and helpful.

Fish was a bit over cooked but very nice, the Chips had been there for some time and were dry and chewy

My absolute favourite chippie. I've been using them for years and they are consistently brilliant. They've got a loyalty scheme too, and they even sent me a voucher for my birthday! Top quality food. Nice people. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Went in and ordered a fish and chips I was the only person in there A few others came in & they forgot about my order I waited 25 minutes watching everyone else leave after I had initially ordered Then the chips were naff & the fish was okay.. Not my best experience, although it’s been pretty good before But this experience has made me doubt going again

Best Fish and Chips we have had in a longtime !! We will be back :-)

Delicious fish and chips, fresh, hot and not greasy. I also had a side dish of salad which was great.

This is my local Fish & Chip shop, and I'm pleased to say that it's as good as it gets.

Gone down hill in my opinion. Previously, fish has always been cooked fresh. Visited last Friday and after a 10 minute wait, supposedly for the fish to be cooked I was served a very dry piece of cod from the cabinet I’d been looking at for the whole time!! Chips are poor too - not many ‘proper’ chips just lots of little crunchy bits as if they’ve come from the bottom of the tray. Not good guys - try to get back to where you were when you first came to a Bishopstoke!

10/10 for the fish it was beautiful. Such light, fresh and crisp batter. Really tasty. Chips were ok. Overall very good experience.

Bloody closed when google buisiness said open and updated 7 weeks ago ..

Great fish and chips, best around

Exceptionally greasy fish and chips. Most of the order for the whole family had to go in the bin.

Battered sausage was good, chips wer awful under cooked and wet

Great service, great people, and great food 😁

Quick polite service, good prices and portions, excellent chips, . Shame more fish and chip shops are no where near as good as this.

Just re-opened under new management and the food and service are brilliant I would recommend.

First time in a long time, food was good not brilliant, service was excellent and fairly quick ,staff were polite and friendly.

Ive ordered from Mikes for the past 30+ years and they have been fantastic. But the last 18months the portion of the fish has decreased significantly to the point were I had to write this review. The portions have halved in size compared to 2 years ago and the price has gone up to £12.30 for a portion of chips and very small cod. Won’t be ordering again.

Friendly staff quick service reasonable priced

We only needed chips to go with our meat pie at home but they were excellent chips thanks very much.

Great fish and chips, shame about the wait but I expect that means it cooked fresher.

Food is consistently great and always freshly prepared. I think a true sign of a good fish and chip shop is a queue, depicting freshly cooked food, Mike's always has a queue, which the staff serve quickly, what more can i say!

the haddock was moist and mushy - the chips were to stale and unseasoned after they asked me if i wanted salt or pepa - didnt sell stellas for me to take home

Chips were soggy and undercooked, fish was dry and overcooked. Scampi was ok. Chips went in the bin.

Good value, tasty fish and chips and children's meals , their curry sauce is great
