Nice Plaice in Chichester

If heaven had a chip shop.... We've just moved to Selsey and everyone we spoke to recommended this chippy (and the bakers next door) Large portions, chips were perfect to me and the cod was huge, delicious and a light fluffy batter. Very reasonable prices for good quality food.

Prices very reasonable (compared to Ascot where we're from!). Fish chunky and perfectly cooked. Two large chips spot on for 2 adults and 2 hungry teens. Curry sauce lovely. Only one Steak and Kidney pie left so me and the boy had a fight over that. I lost but the chicken and mushroom pie was grand. And my worry over whether they would take cards was not a worry as they did!

The fish is always fresh, the potatoes well done, quick service. I recommend with confidence!

Great tasting, piping hot food.

Really good fish and chips, price is better than most places! Speedy!

Miserable staff. Very small portions. Disappointing take out.

Clearly no respect for customers now it’s become summer time . Customer in front of me moaned about the size of the portion of chips and she wanted one of her two bits of fish cooked more. They ignored her and had take it out of the bag to sort out. I get home and this is what I was greeted with for £8.40 ! Savaloy microwaved till it explodes and re cooked chips.

We enjoyed excellent fish and chips from here. Kids offerings were a good size for our kids (5 and 3). We walked from here down to the sea front to enjoy our food. It was great.

Great fish and chips,we travel from Chichester as it is so nice.We have the oap special which is more than enough for us.Give it a try.

I keep on meaning to try this chip shop, and I only live about a 15-minute walk, so when a friend visited, I thought, let's try it out well I have not in my 45yrs on this planet ever encountered such miserable grumpy people the lady calling out the numbers for orders was incredibly rude a man walked out from the back he looked directly at us we said hello he didn't say anything, the young lady at the till was the only cheerful one there, the food the chips tasted burnt but looked anemic the cod was pollock batter was really greasy , my friend threw most of his out the way , pricewise the other too chip shops in the area offer better value for money.

2 large cod 1 large chips 19.50

Worst fish and chips ever, need to change the oil Saturday 3rd Feb 2024

Nothing like biting into your second to last scampi to see green seafood and an uncleaned poop tract. I didn't think to look at the ones I'd eaten before that. The last scampi was also unclean. A shame, as the chips are great and my dad enjoyed his fish.

the worst fish I have ever eaten, thick coating dripping with oil, no spices, fries ok, I do not recommend, money wasted, just like this fish was thrown into the trash

My son bought takeaway cod & chips and 1 portion of Rock for me. It looked good in the batter but when I cut into, it the usual cartilage bone was almost non existent and it had a strong taint of ammonia which left a bad taste. I've eaten Rock for years, but sadly this experience has put me off for life!

Wife ordered chicken and chips I ordered chicken and mushroom pie..both dishes were hot and tasty..good service nice friendly staff definitely recommend

Ordered sausage and chips, staff were friendly and I got my food after a short wait. The only downside was it was cash only. Food was hot and tasty. Would recommend .

Super fish & chips, fast service. No atmosphere as it's a standard take away

Scrumptious fish and chips. Generous portions cooked to perfection

It's a chip shop and a bloody good one. Selsey is spoilt for choice for fish and chip shops with a grand total of four, but this is the one we use most. Great food.

We have been buying our Fish and Chips for 15 years from this establishment (ownership has changed) Always get a fresh tasting fish from here. The past few years the price has rocketed but it’s the best in Selsey

Average chip shop, however, the wrong time of year for good chips.

Nice food. Decent price. Good sice portion.

Friend got served cheesy chips and just got plain grated cheese on top. Not even melted

As expected. Portions are really big. Fish well cooked. Nice thing is you can order and go in the park nearby to eat. I put 3 for ambiance because it is a takaway (so this rating means nothing) store so I can't really rate. Point of improvment : maybe fry the chips a little bit more.

Fish looked like it had been fried twice and was very oily. Chips were rubbish. Went to early evening so probably got lunchtime leftovers. Back to Dens queue.

Was OK not the best I've had but not the worst by far

Expensive but the food was nice enough. Staff rude

Cooked to order so a bit of a wait. But good service and good food.

Two bags of chips....not bad...

Someone else wrote "traditional fish and chips if that's what you're after" and gave a score of 3/5. I'd agree with the description but give 'em 5/5! A chippie with a queue is a good thing because locals know where to go. You have to wait here for a little while but it's not unreasonable. When your food arrives it's as fresh as you could wish for and you've just watched it being cooked. They take the skin off the fish! That makes a big difference to some of us. Carefully prepared. Crispy. Good portions, Fair prices. Fresh. Hot. Yummy. Job done. Atmosphere? In a chippie?? Takeaway?? Staff are polite and civil and take your order and move on to the next customer. While you wait you have a little banter with other punters and it's all friendly. You don't have to wait too long. Traditional fish and chips, if that's what you're after and done very well.

Beautiful haddock and chips - fresh and light batter !

Went for a little drive and stumbled on this. Nice Plaice is an appropriate name! The guys were really polite and friendly. Best fish n chips we’ve had in a long time! Will def get back there sometime soon :)

Lovley food and service with a smile We will be back

Old traditional fish and chips if that's what you're looking for

Great guys who serve really good, freshly cooked fish and chips. Other options too 👍🏻

Best fish and chips (curry sauce 😋) perfectly cooked to perfection

Website says open but is closed!!

The waiting is ridiculous, ive never known any fish & chip shop like it, why can they only serve one customer at a time?

On a day out from London and found the best chippy. Delicious and hot with an amazing curry sauce. Totally lovely 😍 👌

Best chip shop in Selsey hands down. The large chips portion are massive so be aware you can easily share them as a family. The fish portions are massive too and they hang over my dinner plates at home

Lovely fish and chips, crisp batter all perfectly cooked and very reasonable price, £39 for 4 standard cod and chips and small chips and fishcake. Portion sizes were really good!

Food is OK but quite expensive.

I move to Chichester last year and haven’t been able to find a good fish and chip shop, I come back for a few days and ordered from here again and it was just as good as I remembered!!

Fresh, good quality fish and chips at reasonable prices

After reading good reviews for this place, I thought it would be nice to have some decent fish and chips not far from the sea side.. however.. the cod was overcooked and a bit tooooo oily.. the chips were overcooked to the point they were hard and not nice.. the only thing I enjoyed was the chicken and mushroom pie and the buttered rolls.. I'd recommend these guys taste chips before giving them out.. sorry but your prices are high and did not reflect on the quality of the food.. i wish I went to mcdonalds instead

chips were terrible been fryed5 or 6 times most the time is good bit not today

I've always used this fish shop, best in the village

Just had a takeout from Here and it was fantastic, from the reply to the phone call to check they were open to the time I exited the door not to mention the food , brilliant. Order taken correctly, order confirmation correct order itemised before putting in the bag and wrapped with care so not to damage it all. I really can’t recommend this place enough it’s fantastic. Best Plaice in Hampshire and I had pie !!

Best chip shop in Selsey. Fish was very nice not too much batter and not greasy. Very popular and all cooked to order.

Not been inside as yet but looks good

Stayed locally for a few days and paid two visits. The food and service were first class plus excellent covid procedures. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Had a decent size haddock, chips, mushy peas and scraps from here. Possibly the best I’ve had in that area for a couple of years. Would happily recommend this shop and the bakery next door for excellent bread rolls for a chip butty. (Search The Tearaway Podcast to get my latest episode.)

When I've visited selsey there is always a queue for this shop so thought I'd try it for myself and wasn't disappointed. Well cooked and very nice. Will be visiting again next time I'm down.

Do not understand the hype found it expensive and the food was small portions the fish was pretty pants aswell

I used to get the OAP Special for my parents but now it's just Dad he has Rock & Small Chips usually on a Thursday. We have been coming here for well on two years now. Everything is cooked fresh & it's beautiful. Best Fish & Chips in Selsey by far! Also has other items on their menu all at reasonable prices too. Service is friendly & Efficient. Food is lovely & Value for money I can't fault it. Would Highly Recommend!

Been here many times. This is the best fish and chip shop in Selsey. Lovely white flakey cod, great chips and pleasant service. Not too long to wait for your freshly cooked meal. Thank you

Good portions. Objectively, not quite as nice as our local fish and chips in Epsom, but would still happily order from them again if in the area!

Great fish and chips, really crispy batter.

Friendly staff, great service and great food. Appreciated the efforts to keep us safe from Covid. Thank you!

Always get our fish and chips here when I visit my mother, last night I was shocked to see how they have increased their prices and their portions have been cut by half. Went at 6pm on a Thursday evening and only three people waiting outside for their orders. Thought that something was up. Such a shame as this was the best for miles around. Now will go to the village in future. Guess everyone else has already had the same thought

Good fish and chips. We visited whilst staying at one of the caravan parks in Selsey. Good location with easy parking.

Nice fish, and good portions. I would give 5 stars if they would let the oil drain a bit more before putting the food in the bags... as it gets a bit soggy and too oily.

Excellent fish & chips - cannot be bettered!

Lovely food when you actually get what you've ordered. Again upon returning home wrong order, this is the second time this has happened recently. Items missing small chips instead of large and none of the sausages battered as ordered, soggy onion rings. I had guests waiting at home for dinner so returning again was not an option as I'd been out long enough in the queue waiting for food. Be sure to check your order before you leave.

This used to be the best fish and chip shop in selsey. No more. Just had chickenchips, chicken so overcooked it was inedible and chips not cooked enough.

Good fish and chips, long wait and not as good as previous visits, which would have been 5 out of 5, still good though

Without doubt best fish and chip shop in Selsey,never been let down and always freshly cooked,you won’t be disappointed

Good fish and chips always fresh

Very reasonably priced, chips are nice and not greasy.

Food was great. Love that they are still social distancing and doing it well. Good size portions too. Would definitely recommend.

Always nice fish and chips with most of the food cooked to order so you know its fresh. The downside is quite often a lengthy wait, but it is worth it for decent fresh fish!

Had the best fish and chips ever, cooked lovely, throughly enjoy them, going to this one now when in selsey

Good service cooked while you wait

Delicious and fresh fish. Real chunky potato chips perfectly done. Children enjoyed battered chicken nuggets with real meat inside not some mince 🙃

Found this place by chance, its behind the car park and boating lake. Everything freshly cooked to order, very covid secure. Lots of locals also buy their fish and chips here. You usually have to wait but it's worth it. Once you have bough your fish and chips walk across local road to small local pond / wooded area where you can sit and watch the ducks (but Don't feed them please), we had a lovely time every visit. Please collect up your rubbish and leave it in refuse bins between park and car park

Best fish & chips in selsey. Cooked fresh when ordered, but always check what you order as a couple of occassions ive had to return to get missing items of food.

This is by far the best fish and chips myself and my house guests have ever had. The fish is battered without the skin on, something that has gone down very well! Good size portions and service is excellent.

Whenever we visit Selsey we get chips here before heading to the beach. Even if the weather is bad the food is good and the curry sauce is lovely too!

asked for cheesy chips didn’t get the cheese

Best fish and chips in Selsey! Never disappointed. Generous portions. Not greasy. Great service, even when exceptionally busy. Recommended.

We had a large haddock and chips and it was big enough to feed both of us! Very fresh, battered fish and excellent chips. Good value too.

Great fish and chips, all fresh and worth the wait.

Good fish and chips, quick service

Very nice food, the chips were dry and not greasy. Very reasonably priced and good value for money.

Great food, couldn't fault it at all!

Usually a 30+ queue is a good sign, but standing out in the cold for 25 minutes for a shop bought Pukka Pie and Chips waiting for my number to be literally screamed in true banshee fashion doesn't really make me want to return. I avoided this place for years due to them not taking card payments (I don't carry cash) it took a pandemic for the owners to realise that its 2021 and not the 90s. Unfortunately not good enough for me to return unless I'm desperate for chippy chip's.

As new residents in Selsey we are still exploring the facilities. Nice Plaice was recommended by our new neighbours and this was our first chance to try it out. A small queue outside which is a good sign. Friendly staff took order and it was ready in 10 minutes and haddock was cooked to order. At home sat down to eat and was very pleased. Standard chips was huge, standard cod reasonable size. All still hot and best of all crisp batter not greasy. A definite hit. We've tried elsewhere in Selsey but will be coming back to Nice Plaice. Good Job!

We ate here as a family of 5. Kids had burgers and another had sausage and chips. We had cod and chips. Really great food. The kids said they were the best burgers they have ever had.

Good food, good service, good value

I have have used twice. My family is new to the area. Our first visit the order was incorrect which was disappointing. The second time the order was 100% accurate. I really liked the chips on both occasions good combination of crispy bits soggy bits and fluffy bits. Both times I have had battered sausage and they were nice. I had battered cod the second time it was OK the fish was soft and cooked well but the batter wasn't crispy enough too much oil. The portion size was spot on and I like the look of some of the menu choices next time I will try the spam fritter.

Probably the tastiest chips in Selsey! Great selection of fish too and very friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍

Nice human flesh, a bit chewy 4 me though

Best fish and chip shop in Selsey!

Having phoned my order through and given it precisely. It was repeated to me which was hard to understand. I arrived to collect had the order repeated and correct. It was then packed and taken away £15.10 thank you! Chips - reg = sparrow portion but were not soggy ! Peas and curry sauce - half size poly cups Haddock - half done nicely and other end overcooked Savaloy- wasn't even in the bag! Pea fritter - Well it was warm! Standard frozen and tasteless . Not the best for a seaside A void Won't be back

Very covid safe one in tto order food then wait outside until order is ready. Freshly cooked after order taken. Staff friendly. We had delicious hot fish & chips to eat in the car overlooking the sea at the end of the high street.

Battered sausage was very nice ,, large portion of chips was plenty for 2 people.

Really good local fish and chips.

Best fish and chips takeaway in Selsey!

The cod was delicious and large chips at 1.80 is definitely worth the money
