Ocean's Traditional Fish & Chips in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Seems to have gone downhill in the last year, which is a pity. Got a take out tonight and chips are stodgy and tough, they don't taste or feel fresh at all. Not crispy at all, just really soggy. It's almost like you get served days old chips that have been reheated badly. 🤢 The fish usually tastes good but lately it's burnt and tough. Tonight's fish was more burnt battered than anything. Sorry to say we won't be giving Oceans another chance after tonight. Both my husband and I feel a little ill this evening after eating the fish. Straight in the bin it went.

Very friendly staff and food is always nice, highly recommend 👍😉

I have been coming here sense it opened and is easily the best chip shop in Melksham. Their food and product is great the cost is great value and they have friendly staff.

Very disappointed with my OAP fish and chips and mushy peas yesterday, 30 may, batter was soggy and fish overdone, no lemon or salt and vinegar, and we waited over 15 minutes. My meal has always been excellent in the past, batter is usually crispy and the fish is perfectly cooked.

Never had a issue .but the food tonight was absolutely terrible .fish batter was over cooked and the chips were rock hard

Best Place i have ever been to, Lovely Food, Great Service, Just a Great Place.

Best place in Melksham for Fish n chips! Offer extensive menu 😋 👌

Chips burnt and old tried several times gets worse won’t use again

Just had an amazing lunch deal from here

The food is nice but the wait is so long. There have been occasions when I have been fed up of waiting.

Great selection and very good value.

Never thought this place was that great due to its small bitty tastless crispy chips. The last time we ordered fish and chips the fish was smelly and slimy, so it all went in the bin. Although it's a bit further out, Lee's is far superior, they will be getting our custom from now on. Proper chip shop chips wrapped in paper like it should be.

We always go to Ocean's for our food. We normally telephone the order through, then collect 20 mins later. Large variety of food served, and the portions are massive! Staff are always friendly and helpful. Can get very busy at times, but always served very quickly.

Excellent quality of food. Cooked perfectly. Cod and chips totally delicious. Good size portions. Real chips too.

Lovely place to get your dinner/ tea/supper, freshly cooked and at a rapid pace,always tastes lovely and served with a smile on their face.

Simply the best fish and chips in Melksham

Best Fish & chips locally. By far !!

Lovely fish and chips. Good value. Friendly staff

Great selection. Gluten Free is available on Mondays and Tuesdays. Good Service. Generous portion sizes.

Always helpful, and never had a bad meal. Highly recommend

Very busy for a reason, quality food at a reasonable price with great staff and service.

Always enjoy a tasty takeaway from here!

Occasionally we will pop into the local chippy... Large chips are a family size!

The best fish and chips ever .Even better than seaside fish and chips

Always brilliant food and the service is excellent ⁹

Great, even though it was between lunch and Tea time.

Highly recommend the fish & Chips at Oceans first class

Good as ever, great portion sizes. We shared cid and chips between the two of us and we were full.

Very nice food highly recommend 🍦ice cream man🍦

Prices lower on website. Quality of chips bad, obviously not freshly cooked. Peas tasteless. Pity cos good in the past.

We used to really like this place but this is now the second time we have visited where we have approx 40 mins before they close and when you ask for cod and chips and chips and a burger they say no cause there closing early so only have pukka pies, chips and sausage. Unfortunately as this is now the 2nd time they have done this to us we shan't be returning...

This is the only chippy that the fish doesn't upset my bowls. I've tried all the local chip shops since moving to a village outside Melksham. Now I can have fish and chips instead of having to make do with pie and chips. So thank you Ocean's 😊

Great place and great fish and chips

Bit of a wait.but lovely food and friendly staff

Very pleasantly surprised food was good, quick service and excellent staff

I came this evening and they were extremely busy , all staff were working very hard to get orders done as quickly as possible. Customer service was excellent, Skye who was taking orders got through them as quickly as she could with a smile. Recommend this chip shop to all.

Brought sauegae and chips, the chips was over done, hard when you bite into them, the sausage was over done as well hard and tuff when bite into it, they put the chips in small box’s now , don’t get meny chips now , won’t go there again.

Perfect cod and chips, nice and hot. Good and polite service and long opening hours

Amazing fish and chips. Fresh taste and a very generous portion of fries. I will definitely return when I will be in the area.

This is easily the best fish and chip shop around. Big portions, amazing price and all of the staff are so friendly and lovely.

Good fish and chips, as ever. Gets busy so there's always a wait for your order but it means everything is freshly cooked and has not been sitting around for ages.

Lovely polite staff excellent food

Never had a bad meal, great food, service and prices

Best fish and chips in Melksham

Good fish and chips hot and fresh. Great sized podtions

Had fish and chips here while we were on holiday it was fab, lots of chips and the fish was huge and delicious thorougly enjoyed and can reccomend and will see you again next year. .

Hit and miss lunch times seems better they cook to order, bad piece of fish today like rubber sole. Not there usual good fish

Very, Very good fish and chips.

Great chippy! Big portions and very tasty. They operate a number system for all orders to keep things fair! Parking can be hit and miss on the estate, but that's not their fault, just something to bear in mind! Great friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended!

Wasn't the best food the fish was very greasy.

Best fish and chips I've ever tasted - good to note the food was not smothered in fat like in some fish and chip shops and the chips were not crunchy but large chunky and soft to munch - live in calne but will travel the distance just to get the quality!!! Well Done

After hearing all the hype I'm honestly disappointed. The fish had clearly been left in warmer for way too long after it had been cooked as it was really dry, especially the batter. The battered sausage was tasteless and the chips were pathetic. Honestly if this was a cheap fish and chip shop I'd wouldn't care but this was pretty pricey. I've payed less for way better fish at Harry Ramsden

Consistently good, can always rely on it to be the same great food every time.

Fantastic fish and chips, best we have had for along time. Good service too and wide menu selection- will be back.

Good value . Good portions.. Friendly staff ! First visit and highly recommend.

Brilliant service, good prices and the best chips in Melksham

On the Bowerhill estate, good parking and the fish & chips well priced and very good.

Lovely food with reasonable price, sometime can get quite busy during the weekend but it's worth the wait

Excellent first time visit, fish cooked to perfection, batter crisp not soggy like many places. The chips were well cooked and not greasy. Lovely meal from a very clean environment. I will visit again.

Great chips. Well organised - fast, freshly cooked food. UPDATE Chips not always so good. Chicken and burgers must be microwaved only judging by appearance. Going elsewhere FURTHER UPDATE Chips now cold.

Only giving 1 as cannot give 0. Just had fish & chips at 5.50pm on a Saturday eve. Have used this chip shop many times b4 without issue, BUT this was by far the worst fish & chips we've ever had. It was cold, chips were like cardboard, and fish batter was non crispy. Won't be rushing back!

Sometimes the wait is a bit long and staff aren't the friendliest but overall good food.

Great value for money.Lovely staff and the best fish and chips in the county

Great food well worth it hot nice not expensive would recommend it to everyone

Great tasting Gluten Free fish & chips, every time.

Consistently good standard. Great gluten free options (Mondays and Tuesdays) and friendly staff. Always busy.

Best friendly take away with lovely food every time we visit. Wouldn't go any where else for a take away xx

Very popular chippy with good grub.

I’ve only been here a few times, we changed fish and chip shops due to so many recommendations about this place. First time, couldn’t fault it. We turned up, ordered there and then and the service was quick and the food was delicious. We heard you could ring through your order, so we did this ahead of time. On the call we were given an order number but the line was so bad we couldn’t quite work it out. Before we had time to ask what it was, the line went dead. We turned up anyways, apologetic, but we were sure they’d be able to find our order. The lady serving us, went mad at us for forgetting the number. Shock her head and kept saying how was she supposed to know what we ordered. She was so unnecessarily rude and kept having digs throughout being served. It took her all of 3 seconds to find out what we ordered, which didn’t really add to the time at all. I can appreciate it gets busy and I understand the need for order numbers. If this is a crucial part of your service, you should have made that really clear on the phone. If someone forgets this number, there are other ways to remind people of this for future reference. Really gutted, we liked it here but that service was so shocking that I don’t think we can return.

Amazing portion sizes and the food was absolutely beautiful 😍

Great fish and chips and good portions

Fantastic service, big portions fresh and tasty

Best fish'n'chips in the area, reasonable prices, good menu and easy parking. What's not to like...

Great chip shop, great service tasty food and good portions. Definitely recommend you give them a try

We've used Oceans regularly since they first opened. Always great service and food!

A good experience overall! Good food, clean and well managed premises and friendly service. Well done to all concerned.

Good quality and excellent service

Best fish and chips in Melksham

First time everything was fantastic, second time the chips were just very soggy and some were undercooked. Maybe we'll try again, but I'm not sure.

Best locally....lovely large cod cooked to perfection.

As always lovely food. Best in Melksham!!

Chips are lovely. Fish and battered sausages are good too. Wife loves the mushy pea fritters (more like a pie). Friendly and fast service too.

Always fresh, always delicious. If you are close it is definitely worth a visit

Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips, huge portions. Great service we use regularly

Excellent as usual, best in town

Amazing..the best fish and ships

Beautiful fish and chips as always, never disappointed here.

Really good food and friendly staff.

Great service. People who work there are lovely. Food is great quality, tasty and generous portions. My favourite chip shop.

Fantastic gluten free fish & chips, daughters also love the battered sausage & chips.

Paid £12 for cod, chips and peas and a beef & onion pie and battered sausage. Queued for nearly 30 minutes waiting for the order and when I got home it wasn't even right - awful curry sauce instead of peas and the sausage was really dry. Will not be going back.

Absolutely brilliant food and beautiful people 😊

Lovely fresh food. Very friendly.

Usually good, today fish over cooked and very dry

Great fish and chips and the kebabs are good too. Everything seems to be reasonably priced

Great fish and chips we will be back.

Every visit to Oceans is top quality. The fish is amazing. Great size, lovely crispy batter. The chips are a huge portion. You should never be hungry after a trip to Oceans Fish and Chips. I've eaten a lot of Fish and Chips especially by the seaside and these are the best.

This was the first time we'd used this takeaway. The staff were very helpful when we placed a huge order on Friday to pick up at 18.00 on Saturday. When we arrived the food was ready and waiting in individual bags with a list of the contents stapled to the outside of the bag for ease of knowing who's was in which bag. The food was fantastic, the best fish and chips in Melksham, we will definitely use Ocean's again.

Awesome place. Chips are amazing and staff are friendly

We placed a big order here this weekend. It was dealt with very efficiently, the staff were very helpful . The food was excellent and everyone enjoyed it. We will be coming back again.
