Once again, this place has hit the mark. It's been a while since our last visit, and the quality of his fish is second to none. 5 star every day. I will highly recommend this brilliant chippy.

Best fish and chips on the Isle of Wight. Generous portions and well cooked battered fish. Staff are extreemly friendly, Ozzie does the best plate of food. This gem of a chippy is well hidden in Newport and a locals secret. Bring your appetite with you.

Excellent fish and chips at a very reasonable price I brought 3 medium cod and 2 small portions of chips. One portion of chips is more than enough to feed 3 people. The fish was well cooked and batter was excellent The chips were lovely and 'proper' chips

Good food sadly poor service, yet again items forgot from the order not untill i got home to find this lovely surprise. So yet again another return trip to get the items that should of been put in and CHECKED..... they are to busy chucking the orders out and not CHECKING the order. The fact you can't pay on card to also adds to the frustration. Please sort these issues out....

Found this fish and chip shop a year ago and every visit to the Isle of Wight involves a visit here. I would say it's the best fish & chips on the isle of Wight - but I would be lying! It's the best fish & chips in the UK. The staff are friendly, the place is absolutely spotless. The portion size is worth the cost and the fish and chips cant be beaten. Well done Ozze!

Wow- amazing food and portions! I asked for large cod and chips twice; the lovely lady serving said we’d be eating for days if we ordered 2 large chips for the two of us- she wasn’t wrong!! We had 2 large cod (both enormous and lovely) and 1 large chips and couldn’t finish. So glad we went by the reviews here. Heartily recommend! It is cash only, but there is an ATM right next door.

The.restaurant is absolutely lovely in an oldy worldy pub with a large car park which includes disabled parking. On entering the establishment we were welcomed and shown to our table by an extremely likeable and attentive young man who looked after us throughout our visit and I would say he went above and beyond with his service. We were celebrating a visit of family from New Zealand and friends recommended this venue. Now to the meals, I’m afraid this is where our recommendations must end, the food was poor to say the least and the portions minute, in fact the food looked lost on a dinner plate.. the chips were absolutely awful, dried up, wrinkly and looked and tasted reheated from the day before, these were served in a silver cup, so on the plate was the smallest rump steak I’ve ever seen, it measured approximately 50mm x75mm and half a grilled tomato. I ordered my stake cooked medium it was. Served very well done and tough to chew. The only saving grace were the overpriced deserts which were lovely. I thought everything was overpriced not just the sweets. Would we go again? Definitely not once bitten twice shy I did tip the waiter as he was exceptional

Went as a couple on valentines day, and when we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant (and had a booking) however the waitress directed us to sit on a sofa before we could go to our table, this was just an indicator of how the night was going to go... I'll start with the positives, the food was hot and tasty, and there was a good selection of vegetarian options, I definitely suggest the paneer chilli masala! My vegetable vindaloo was not spicy at all however, which was disappointing. Not the best indian food I have ever eaten, but not the worst... Unfortunately the negatives far outweighed the positives. The service was slow and odd, to say the least. The waitress took our drinks order then proceeded to go and wrap cutlery instead of fetching the drinks, eventually they arrived, followed by our popadoms. Our dirty plates from the popadoms were left with us whilst we ate our starters. A long wait later our main courses arrived. Once we had nearly finished the main courses, the smoke alarm went off. No apologies from any of the staff, and no indication that it was going to be turned off. We asked for the bill, and the only other table asked for their food to takeaway, as there was no indication the deafening noise was going to end. We were then informed there was no card machine, so I had to sit listening to the smoke alarm for ten minutes whilst my partner found a cash point. A little advance warning if this would go a long way! As we walked round to the taxi rank we could still hear the alarm sounding. Overall a weird experience, made worse by the constant alarms and chirping from the bar area, and the deafening smoke alarm at the end! A lack of music in a completely empty restaurant makes for a very uncomfortable experience. If this hadnt been chosen and booked as a valentines treat by my partner I doubt I would have visited, and I cant say that I will visit again, as the food quality did not outweigh the issues listed above.
