Oliver's in Basingstoke and Deane

We dropped in on the way home from work without booking, but got a table straight away. We both had three courses and a drink for just over £60. The staff were very friendly and the food was great.

Well cooked fish and chips with nice crisp chips and thin, light batter on the fish. Good value to eat in the restaurant and good, quick service. Large cod and chips with mushy peas cost £13.35.

This is a great venue for families and very good value for money. It has a varied menu and is a great deal for kids. It has limited space for parking but there is capability for nearby parking.

The only thing I can say is that some of the portions are too big 😁

I'm not sure Fish&Chip shops get much better than this, whether eating in or takeaway. Classic not posh.

Best fish and chips around. Bit slow today, but worth the wait.

Best chippie in Basingstoke. Great quality food, at reasonable prices.

Seriously… almost £4 for a half nuked PUKKA You’re having a joke

Best fish and chips around Basingstoke. Great food, never top greasy and super fast service. Always a pleasure to eat here.

I visited for the first time at the recommendation of a friend. It was busy when I got there in the evening around 6pm or 7pm. The staff didn't seem very talkative, they keep going on about their business while you're waiting at the counter to order. When they're free, then they come over to take your order. I ordered haddock, a quarter pounder (they said they do it and it's called a cheeseburger), and large portion of chips. Haddock and chips were great, but burger was very poor. Basically a dry burger patty in dry untoasted buns with cheese. Literally zero effort at the burger, no salad, no sauces. And I think they charge £4.xx for it! It's not even very big. Really pissed off at the quality of the burger, but to be fair both the fish and the chips were nice.

Best chippy in the area and ideally located off the M3 if your bored of usual service station food

Very nice food and good portion sizes. Good value for money as well.

The best fish n chips in the land

Been using Olivers for years, always fantastic fish n chips

Very delicious and crispy fish and chips

Best fish and chips in Basingstoke

Just got this burger and chips. Just look at that burger. No sauce nothing. The worst I have ever seen or ever got.

How these guy have ever won awards is totally beyond me. Very rude and demeaning girl served me from the collection counter. Food will go near on instantly cold once opened, because they use boxes instead of traditional wrapping. Portion sizes are a complete crime of the century, what they are classing as 'small and large' are not actual fish sizes....if they are actually netting 'small' cod or haddock at those sizes from our seas, someone should call the police or fishing regulators/ombudsman to have them prosecuted. If you want great chips and fish, fair portions just go to the chip shop in Hartley Wintney.

Ordered fish and chips as a treat after work and school A kids meal of fish and chips Large chips Curry sauce and scraps Was approximately £10. Got home and unwrapped our food, looked and smelt lovely, until the first bite. Took a bite of our food -chips were covered in grit/dirt. (I know potatoes will always run the risk of having a little pocket of unseen mud/dirt on as obviously they are grown in mud) My daughter said it was like eating sandy sandwiches on the beach. The whole lot went into the bin as it was just so gritty , muddy and I was worried I would break a tooth on the grit. Inedible and Complete waste of money. I messaged Oliver’s to tell them about this and ask them to replace my food as it was just £10 purely wasted. They read the message on their Facebook page and ignored me. I emailed them with the same request two weeks later and again, they ignored me. Not a big deal for them to replace a £10 meal but that’s almost a whole hours wages wasted for our family, as well as the costs of then cooking a replacement meal. Would never return and will ensure if anyone asks to tell them that both the food and customer service is awful and to avoid at all costs.

Lovely chips and great Cod from the takeaway

Best fish and chips iv ever had!

Friendly staff great fish and chips

This was the first time my friend and I had been here but it's probably the best fish and chips I've had in many many years

Lovely authentic place to eat out in Basingstoke

The quality of the food is good however asked for large cod and chips but the fish size was a joke as it was so small so god knows what a regular size cod looks like. Looks like they are slicing the cod in half to maximise profit. Due to this the value is terrible so won’t be coming back until a large cod is a more substantial size.This happened before so I tried it again and still terrible fish size. Such a shame as in the past the fish was proper.

Usually the best in the area. Chips were gritty - fish had been kept too long and wasn’t hot enough. No curry sauce or peas on offer. Staff were more interested in ending the shift than maintaining standards.

My grandads favourite place to visit

Great fish and chips always fresh. Be prepared for a little wait though as it often gets very busy but we'll worth it.

Large cod was all batter and no fish, so actually was about the same size as the small one was. Chips were odd, I thought they were under cooked, yet they were more rubbery than anything. Hubby said he got grit in his, very much as though they hadn't been in the "rumbler" long enough to get the soil out of the potatoes correctly. Probably the worst chips I have ever had tbh.

VERY DISAPPOINTED, our favourite fish and chip shop we’ve used for years, visited for lunch at 12;45, the chips we had were very dry small and shrivalled up, hardly a good chip in the box, as you can see by the pic we left. Three quarters of them, the fish cake was tiny , so disappointed.

Best chippy for miles. It's worth the drive just for the taste. No other chippy comes anywhere near the standard of olivers. Been using them for years.

Stick at traffic lights next to them

Well done fish. Crispy fries. Affordable prices. Recommended

Always excellent piece of cod,not bettered anywhere

Always great . Often sublime Never poor or stale. Best Chippie in Basingstoke by a mile.

long queues indicate just how popular this place is Nice chips but just too long a wait

Four of us had fish and chip dinners last Saturday evening and would like to say this was possibly the best fish and chips we have ever had, the fish was to die for and the prawn cocktails we had for starters were enormous and so nice, seeing my wife and I live in Cornwall where we've had various fish and chips I think this is the best compliment I can make

Great fish and Chips best in the area

Grabbed a take out - Oliver's is where you go to get fish and chips that are a cut above your normal chippie. All the food was great and the staff were well organised. Definitely recommend.

I took my Mum for a Saturday Lunch. The room had a few people in, but not crammed. Clean looking and friendly staff. Order fish and chips and wagu Burger. Told there was no wagu burgers any longer but you get a thick burger at the same price. I was told it was worth the £13+ for the burger alone. Drinks came soon, food took a long time. When I got the food, I have to say the fish meal was superb, the burger was basic. Paying that much for a burger that does not even include chips is crazy. It better be the best damn burger for that price but it was not that great with gristle in it. I have been to fancy restaurants that charge that, not a fish and chippy.

Excellent choice of starters and meals with exceptional service.

Great Fish and Chips and very good service

It's a great fish and chip restaurant - really great food with splendid service

Love this place, always busy and always the kindest staff. Food is brilliant every time

We had fish & chips delivered for our private charter on the Pinkerton barge. The food was absolutely lovely. All piping hot, the fish was beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed by 33 people onboard. Would definitely recommend.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THE FOOD so so friendly and the food was amazing and on top of all that, the company even sponsored me on my international baton twirling journey and I cannot thank them enough 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Best fish and chips 🥰

Good for take away however there is no seat to wait, you have to stand there.

We have been here several times and always had a good meal and the service is very good

Let me start with this…awful from the service to the food. Food - dreadful. I had cheese burger, terrible dry digesting not worth £1 from Iceland let alone a “fish and chip shop” charging upwards of £5. Saveloy full of water? Didn’t even know that was a thing? Tasteless and vile. “Chips” might as well of been mash, tasteless and flaccid as jelly. Eaten here few times and always blamed time of day or the day of the week. No it’s gone from 4 star plus to 1 at a push. When I walked in one male staff said to the young female to serve me and she rolled her eyes. God I wish I walked out and not wasted my money. All gone in the bin, thank god for papa Johns pizza. Be warned, never again from me.

Fast service good food. Been coming here since the 70s. Never disappointed. Shame not enough room for the ice cream after

Went on recommendation for fish and chips the special offer had finished just 5 mins after we arrived When we asked for the child’s portion we were informed we were not children be charged and adult price no other offers were on The standard was not that good I needed bread and butter to soak up the oil

Bang tidy 😉 Olivers has a good reputation for a good reason

Family favourite for a take out. We do tend to avoid Fridays as they are so popular the queues are long. Fish portions can vary but it’s always delicious.

Had a late night fish and chips. Unfortunately because the chips had been piled on top of the fish everything had gone soggy. Poor chips too. Really disappointed as we were looking forward to them.

Some of the best fish & chips in the town, consistently good over a number of years. Eat-in restaurant adjacent, serving same food. The Irish curry sauce is worth trying!

Chips over cooked, -1. Couldn't put on my own salt and vinegar -1, no non-dairy for coffee -1.

Best fish and chips ever with a wide variety of different fish, daily catch specials and different options of battered, breaded or grilled

Drove minibus of pensioners there for lunch. Excellent value for money.

Fast service and food was hot and delivered quickly. Staff were lovely and friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. Very small portions! A small cod and chips, 2 small drinks, 2 tiny bowls of chips (£3.50 a bowl!!) and a curry sauce - nearly £30!! So expensive. Always seems busy but definitely too costly for us to visit again.

We were looking forward to our first meal at Olivers. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The Cod meals were overcooked and dry, the garlic bread tasteless and the service was very slow. We won’t rush back.

5* great menu. Fresh fish, great kids menu, plenty of high chairs for the little ones in the restaurant. Service was quick and food was hot and tasty.

The food, atmosphere and service were amazing!! It's the first time we've been to Oliver's and it won't be our last!! I had the homemade fishcakes, so tasty, the best I've ever had!! The chips were also perfectly golden and not greasy at all!! My partner had the burger and it was super tasty!! We highly recommend coming here & we'll definitely be back!! Thank you to all the lovely staff!! :)

The best fish and chips I've had do far

Great fish and chips. Always freshly cooked and lovely crisp batter. Highly recommend.

If you want fish and chips in Basingstoke, go to Oliver's. Lovely food, quick service even when busy, wife and daughter love the halloumi fries. Cod tastes nice, its got flavour, not bland like some chippys.

Wonderful food. Always a queue outside the chip shop next door. Best chips.

Fab place to have fish and chips, great for those who want a healthy alternative too (grilled fish and salad)

Food is great, shame that every time I come in the young guy with long hair is so rude and blunt, let’s it down

Didn't like the mushypeas not what you expect from a chippy, fishcake was also very small on plus side the standard cod was OK as we're the chips.

Take away tonight. Very disappointing. Mushy peas were very disappointing from previous visits. Fish cake, small but good. All in all disappointing.

Top quality fish, always great service

What a great Fish and Chip Restaurant. Value for money. Great food. Excellent service. Lovely interior. Will visit again. Thank you. 💝

Really good fish n chips plus a lot more.

£25 for fish and chips and chicken nuggets and chips for a child!! Absolutely awful last few times I’ve been here it’s gone downhill. Chips are rock hard way over cooked and the curry sauce is like water!!

Fantastic food service and value for money. Highly recommend

Amazing place for fish & chips, cannot fault this place one bit. I've been coming to this place since I was little and I will continue

Fantastic quality fish and chips. Would highly recommended.

Overall a very nice experience, and would come again. Not too long wait times, friendly staff and food was nice.

We stopped off on way to see family and were very hungry. Waited 10 minutes and ate some of them in the car. Batter was not cooked properly. Very stodgy. Chips seemed to be small greasy pieces of chips mainly. My wife ate the fish inside the batter. For a standard cod was quite small. Took most of chips back and uneaten batter of wife’s. I had eaten most of my chips. Didn’t eat all of batter. The girl serving just said you’ve eaten most of it. She didn’t remark on the batter. I shan’t go there again and will not recommend it.

The fish and chips was average (only reason for the 2 star, without that would be 0) but the service was terrible! The two young people at the front obviously didn’t want to be there and apparently thats my fault as a customer. The cashier was rude and the server was even worse, will not be returning.

When they good they good but sadly consistency fails them too often. Was in last Friday for cod and chips, I received my order within 30 seconds but when I got home the fish was oily and dry, the chips were dry and hard. Come on is this the respect you have for people who support you on a regular basis. I've stayed away before and looks like I will be doing it again. If you can't give me fresh fish and chips then don't bother.

Very nice and freshly cooked. However super expensive

Close to the M3, this made an excellent stop for dinner during our journey from Somerset to Sussex. Fresh food, served speedily to our table; hot and incredibly tasty! Lots of options and diets catered for. No hesitation to recommend 😋

Like the food and the prices are not to bad

Great fish and chips with friendly staff.

Great independent fish & chips restaurant . Great food. Friendly service. Competitively priced. I had the large fish and chips, butter and roll, and a coke. I'm now back in my hotel for an afternoon nap whilst my gut gets to work digesting all that delicious fishy goodness. Mmmmm. There was a smallish car park (but adequate for the place) and I slotted into one of the few spaces left during the Saturday lunchtime bustle. My only minor niggle was the roll was a bit 'meh' - a really fresh roll can make a big difference, but it was 'proper' butter so nothing to lose a star over. Thanks again to the Staff who were all lovely. There's also a takeaway service. Tips go to the staff so they were all happy! Whoddathunkit. Treat your staff the way you want them to treat your customers!

So disappointed tonight. Used to be our favourite. Chips were awful. Fish batter was soggy. Always had great fish and chips from olivers but tonight not so good 😕 Not worth £22.

Very good food, service and prices.

Is this what’s to be expected when you order a chicken burger from a fish and chip shop? No love or care put into the food. I expected more from an independent restaurant. Pretty sure they wouldn’t get away with serving this in the restaurant.

We had cod, battered sausage, chips, homemade mushy peas and curry sauce. Delicious. Batter on yhe cod and sausage was light and crisp and not only. Mushy peas were lovely and the curry sauce slightly fruity and spicy. Total amount including a drink was £19, which is reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Staff are friendly. We will be back!

Very tasty food but bit expensive for me

Food very good staff very pleasant. Been driving past for year why did I not go in before missed out on great food

Amazing fish and chips and the mushroom thingie delicious.

We enjoyed some very tasty fish and chips at Oliver's today. We dined in the restaurant and the service was just great. Highly recommend.

Delicious food. Friendly prompt service. Great local beers. Handy parking. Great place. BUT. The ventilation needs to be improved as the floor feels slippery with grease and all my clothes really stink of fish n chips now. That’s the only negative…

Very good, fast good, an English classic I recommend it

Utterly delicious fish and chips and even more splendid spam fritters! It would have been 5* for the atmosphere but the ghastly little screaming monsters rather took the shine off it. At least I can hear in my left ear now so it’s all good!

I just went in for a bag of chips and the chips are amazing that was so nice I had not add any chips for a long time and you know this absolutely gorgeous food thank you Alan. Best fish & chips in Basingstoke merry Christmas All the best for 2024 Kind regards Alan.Thanks ✨️

Always good food, and really cheap for the quality.

Very good first experience the fish and chips were lovely service good and the price excellent ...Will be back
