Parkway Fish and Chip Shop in Poole

Amazing fish and chips. The curry sauce is also very good.

Chips were not how they tasted in the past. Shame, but life goes on.

We came and placed a pretty big order >£100 All food was cooked fresh and they were very quick at pulling it all together while it was all still hot. Unfortunately we didn't check the order before we left and back the time we unpacked it at home we realised there was a few items missing, and we were too far to have made it sensible to go back for them.

Everytime we’ve had fish and chips here, it has been excellent. It’s the best fish and chips my husband and I have eaten in years. We always order from Deliveroo and it’s just lovely. We love the fact they do scraps too as most fish and chip shops don’t do them unless you’re up north. The batter is so crispy. Our favourite is the Hake and haddock also the battered sausages are amazing & best chips for miles! Highly recommend ! 💯 So much better than Chez Fred. I would not recommend the bull huss though. The fish on its own is lovely. However with batter on it just doesn’t work as it’s too dense in my opinion. If it was cooked in a dash of olive oil with seasonal veggies in a restaurant I would eat it, but trying to make it a chippy shop type fish with the batter…it just doesn’t work.

Staff gave good service however the food was just ok. I suggest making your own gravy and not an instant watery powder. Been there once. That was enough.

The food is great. No dine in, only takeaway available.

I've only knocked off one star for the food because of price. My in-laws have been in the industry since 1936 and have a chain of shops that are regarded as the best in that county, so I have an idea of costs. Obviously, local market conditions vary, Poole is about the most expensive area in which to live in the south and west of England. There is a loyalty scheme, which helps. Otherwise, I highly recommend Parkway Fish Bar.

TERRIBLE SERVICE…. Staff thick and rude. Told me off for wanting to order then served the order separately. Made us stand outside food getting cold for 10 minutes before serving the second portion. When asked to keep it warm under the lamp they refused. Very very poor experience

We have lived across the road from the Parkway Fish Bar for the last 25 years and have very rarely had a poor quality take away. Yesterday at lunchtime we ordered two battered sausages and one standard chips. The cost was a ridiculous £7.50 (last year £4.50 ish, no wonder there was only one other person in the shop). The sausages and chips were lukewarm and the chips were dry and shrivelled up. Why have standards dropped so much and costs rocketed I ask. Is it a change of ownership ? We also had 2 x Haddock and chips recently which was also sub standard and cost £27.50. I'm hoping the quality will improve soon as its the only fish snd chip shop nearby.

Worst cod and chips I've ever had ... bad customer service and food is horrendous! 1. Half of order missing (had delivered) 2. Dry and hard cod which was over cooked 3. Chips had bad potato's included in the portion 4. When we rang the establishment about the missing food £15 worth we were told "were closed, have a nice evening" ???? As a local to Poole, I won't be recommending this establishment but asking the council to check it's up to standard

This place has gone down hill . We had large cod and chips with mushy peas the fish wasn’t cooked fresh and it was greasy the fish wasn’t that big and was flat couldn’t eat the batter cost us £17 rip off won’t go back shame as they use to have a queue out the door not now ,learnt the hard way .

Food was absolutely incredible tonight, ordered a really big order for my family and they were super busy and dealt with it super well and were so friendly! 10/10 food , Will be returning!⭐️

The lady at the front had the worst customer service I’ve ever seen, I felt like it was racially motivated because she wasn’t treating the Caucasian customers like how she was treating us. We ordered before a lot of the customers, she told us it would be a 15 minute wait but she gave us our order a lot later! When I asked how long it would take she shouted at me! All the other customers were getting served before us, I felt below everyone else.

Really recommend eating from here! Quick service despite being super busy. Always lovely food!!

Not happy with the Fish & Chips purchased yesterday evening at Parkway Fish Bar, Parkstone Road Poole. Fish overcooked, dry, tasteless. Chips were also scrappy. Definitely gone down hill since the last time we bought fiid there. Not recommended at all!! We will definitely go back to Penn Hill where everything is freshly cooked!

Very disappointed wasn’t cooked fresh, fish grease use to go here all the time and there was a queue outside won’t go back very expensive one large cod chips and mussy peas £17 not worth it won’t go back sorry.

Best fish and chips we have ever had! Batter beautiful and crispy, chips crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle The staff were so friendly and polite Will 100% be returning

Even though it was packed , got served quickly and didn't wait long for our food.

Large order including gf for 11 of us, excellent, hot, crispy, tasty, thank you

Lovely chip shop we had cod bits and chips and a medium fish and chips with a curry… all was really nice ample portions. Great in a box as you can sit in the park opposite and enjoy the views

The chips arrived and were inediable, chucked 3 portions in the bin. two sausage's were missing

Excellent service, enjoyed my hake fish and Chips 🍟.

Absolutely fantastic, we ordered food for around 30 people (a variety of choices, not just fi and chips) and Anton accommodated us perfectly- they even delivered to Poole Park where we were having our picnic! Delivery was bang on time, with all the food still hot and fresh, and of excellent quality. Not a single order was wrong or missed even with such a huge order. We will 100% be ordering from Parkway Fish Bar again, huge thank you to Anton and the team!!

Chips hard and cold (leftovers from day before) peas hard with a dead fly in them and all for an eye watering £5.25 for small chips and mushy pea !!! Joke

Rude staff.... Boring tasteless food... I ate here only once and I never returned. You should do the same.

Bab chips totally Gave it a 2nd chance but never ever again .. just awful Avoid

Staff are brilliant I forgot my wallet they were awesome about it great people 😀

Chips were a huge disappointment. Dry, luke warm, and tasteless, had clearly been cooked a while ago and left sitting in the warmer. If you catch them when busy the food is good but I won’t be buying from them outside of peak times again.

Very moody staff no hello , please or thankyou “abrupt” and food over fried dripping in fat yuk

Really reasonably priced food and lovely staff to serve you. You can even walk to Poole park which is directly opposite to enjoy your meal. Definitely recommend.

Popped in for a take away, in a way I'm hoping they were short staffed, waited 25 minutes for two small cod and chips. Food was nice and good quantity though.

I ordered grilled fish but received fried fish. I asked if it was possible to exchange it. The lady at the cash apologized and she changed my order. When I collect order, another lady from the staff took it out with a smile. The fish was delicious, the fries are excellent, as are the rest of the order. If I ever visit these sites again, I will definitely back again. I recommend!!!

I stay in the area occasionally and cannot walk passed this place without going in for chips. Always lovely and hot crisp and brown. They now do vegan pies which I will try on another visit. If you find you have too many chips the seagulls in the park will help you out!

Having spent money in a shop you would imagine you could wait in the shop for your order but not here. I was waiting when the chap behind the counter asked me to wait outside. I politely said I was waiting because it was cold outside but he got real ansy with me and as he was cooking my food i chose not to risk contamination. Having left, he then continued to moan to other staff stating that he couldn't stand "entitled customers"!!! Perhaps I am, having spent £18 i do feel that im entitled to wait inside and feel that im entitled not to publicly slated by the supplier who happily took my money. Food was ok, nothing special but not bad. Won't be back as there is loads of choice.

Tasty portion of chips. Polite and very quick service.

Used to be amazing , and removed my previous 5* Just had fishcake and chips and binned 90% of the chips as they were scraps , hard lunchtime left overs. Now at tesco getting a meal deal

ordered 4 kids meals and 2 adults meals. the chips were all so crispy they were inedible. tasted maybe like they had been cooked and reheated?? wasn't cheap but wouldn't have minded paying a bit more for edible food. the sausages were lovely however.

Nice size portions. Had asked for the cod to be cooked a bit longer to be crispy but don't think the girl passed the message on as it was a but soggy. They spent their time talking about abusive customers whilst I was there so not sure if they had been having a bad day.

As our usual chippy was closed (TJ’s), we thought we’d give Parkway a try. Food was awful, nothing was fresh and everything was greasy. Disappointing and definitely wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid.

Always get my fish & chips from here when I’m Poole

Fish and chips vary tasty, service vary good, clean premises.

Love the food from this fish bar as cooked to perfection … but sadly we have been let down before by not receiving what we have ordered …. Very disappointing! Tonight I agreed to try again.. only to be let down yet again! .. It’s not good enough to offer a refund on what didn’t arrive as the order is then incomplete which is obviously bad service .… Very sadly It has put my family off ordering again from here in the future .. Please address this issue ..It’s such a shame ! ….

What sort of fish and chip shop doesn’t do gravy? WTF is the point? Bit rubbish if you ask me. Probably explains why the place was so empty tbh

Parkway is very handy for a meal as they stay open all day. The downside is the prices seem to have gone sky high.... might as well go and buy a curry!

Terrific quality. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. Great gluten free menu. Can’t fault it. Well done team Parkway!

I went here to get my dinner, and when I received the food the chips were cold. They were not nice, soggy and looked uncooked. Basically raw potatoes in a box. Not only this, but the lady serving was extremely rude to not only the other employees, but also to other customers! (Witnessed her saying it wasn’t her problem when faced with a complaint from another customer) Terrible service, won’t be buying from them again, especially as the food is so expensive yet such bad quality. Not worth it at all! I’d rather starve than buy from them again. Anyone thinking of going here - do yourself a favor and buy from someone else.

Very over priced plus online the menu is showing alot cheaper by 50% than what it was in the shop £4.79 for a large chips and nearly £10.00 for just a large cod absolute rip off as the skate fish and chip shop a lot cheaper and better food

"lady" behind the counter refused to remove the skin from the haddock saying they don't do that dispite having removed it the last 2 times we came.. So had to have cod instead which was OK but haddock is always my go to choice.

This place is my partners and my fav fish and chip shop. It's always so fresh and delicious, well priced too. We like to grab our order and eat in Poole Park just a short walk away.

Parkway is a very good chippy indeed. Best thing is the lovely light batter they use for their fish and so forth. They are friendly and everything is good and hot. Not the fastest but that’s because they are popular so get quite busy. Worth the wait that’s for sure.

Great fish and chips. Amazing location for a quick stop before heading down to Sandbanks to enjoy in the sun. The staff was super friendly and our order was done very quickly. Will be heading back again soon. The price wasn't too expensive compared to other fish and chip shops and the curry sauce was the best I've had kn a while so I 100% recommend trying.

Very busy but super efficient and friendly. Bartered sausage, fish , chips and mushy peas all really tasty.

Really bad food and a awfull staff service, they are rude and they also look at you weird. Some of the things in the menu are disgusting ☠️ it's expensive for the quality it offers, there is a blond girl that is specially rude with people when they order,I would not recommend this to people definitely not 🚫🚫

No stars if I can, they forget half the order and there response is us having to come down to there shop for a refund or the stuff even though they deliver, really rude there response was what do you want me to do about it

Food was nice, but took an age to arrive

Excellent takeaway fish and chips. Good quality and portion

I Always use this chippy when in Poole. The food is always good and the chippy clean. Staff friendly and efficient

rude worker and wrong closing time on Sunday.

Not the cheapest but good size portions, well cooked & very tasty.

Tasty and well cooked cod and chips with crispy batter. I would recommend.

Had fish and chips from here. Portions were a good size and freshly cooked. Service was good, Worth a visit.

Not the best, not the worst, pretty middle of the road.

Ordered two portions of fish and chips for delivery. On arrival one portion of chips was missing and the breaded place arrived fried in batter, which my wife cannot eat, so her dinner was ruined. The food is not cheap and was supposed to be a treat as we are pensioners. Very disappointing.

Always great freshly cooked food. Our local fish n chips

Just had lunchtime fish and chips it excellent chips freshly cooked and fish great.

It was ok the chips were a little bit dry but the sausage was fantastic

Impromptu visit, excellent and does cod roe ,always a bonus for me.

We had cod and chips here. The batter was inedible. Too thick and extremely soggy and greasy. No crisp at all and tasted raw. World not recommend.

Awful service Food was cold Items missing from the order Rang the shop said it wasn’t their problem. Would not recommend this shop Would not order again; good luck if you plan ordering from this shop in the future, late delivery, cold food not the whole order Dreadful experience if I could give 0 stars I would

Literally stumbled upon this fish bar when leaving Poole last weekend. The best Fish n Chips had in years. Like they used to be. Had to wait a fair while to get them due to que but well worth it. No bad chips, batter crispy on fish. Fish delicious. Cant wait to go back. Nice to find somewhere decent. Very impressed 😊

Great value and HUUUUUGE portions. Bloody good chips

Really enjoyable fish and chips

perfect place to grab some fish and chips nice people great food

Great value, fresh cooked, tasted good too. Fish, chips and curry sauce... spot on!

We have visited weekly for best part of a year and are always pleased with our purchase of fish and chips. Good quality fish and the chips are just how we like them, thick and soft, gorgeous flavour

Great veggie burger and cheesy chips. Would definitely recommend.

First class fish, chips and range of other takeaway options. Also deliver via Deliveroo.

Great food delicious curry sauce

My steamed fish had some hair and fluffs :/ was it from the cloth or from the floor? Some chips were undercooked

Terrible fish on the turn will not ever go there again chips cold and just pure greasy

Always good food and friendly service. One of the few places locally that I know always serve cod roe.

Good quality fish-and-chips And good size portion control And friendly staff

Really tasty fish and chips and a battered jumbo.

Second visit. If you want good chips then this certainly matches any other chip shops locally. In fact I walked from the town specifically to eat here.

The cod and chips was nice. A couple of tough bits - 4 stars not 5. Nice service.

Chips were great. Can’t comment on anything else as only had chips.

Very expensive, difficult to park, and the staff are rude.

Not often we have fish and chips but we did last night whilst visiting the in laws in Poole. It was the best we’ve ever had, couldn’t get enough of the curry sauce. 10/10!

Went to the chip shop as an little lunch time treat with my family and we ordered fishcakes and cheeseburger and obviously chips got them home and, fishcakes didn't taste very nice, the burger had pink throughout, I phoned up and spoke to the chef who replied 'it's gristle' I beg to differ really! I told her I threw the burger in the bin as it put me off eating it and she said unless I bring it back I won't get a refund and so I told her I wouldn't be back a second time and her reply was 'ok that fine bye' put the phone down on me......... shocked is an understatement, I'm disgusted that people can be so rude after paying out over £15 on food that really isn't worth it, if people want their shops to stay open they should be more mindful of how they speak to their customers, she's very rude and not the most polite either when I asked how much something where as they never had a price next to them. Will definitely not be going back and won't recommend this place go anyone!

Very nice fish & chips at reasonable prices.

Stopped for chips, £3 for a layer of chips in a box, left greasy taste in mouth. Lots of scraggy bits. It's 1 o'clock non the afternoon but not nice chips. Thank god only had the standard portion.

Come here regularly as a local and the food is always good quality. The biggest negative is one of the ladies who works there, bossing around staff and customers and generally with an awful attitude. She seems to be the weakest link in the whole operation.

Good quality fish and chips, portions were on the small size. Curry sauce was amazing.

Great fish and chips fish freshly cooked . Cooked fish without batter for my mate who is on a gluten free diet. Helpful and great service.

So rude in there, And the lady serving the food coughing over it. Put us off our food. Wouldn’t go again!

A really disappointed experience in this shop. Found out the hard way that this establishment has cut down on its portion size of chips. So much so that the curry sauce was only half way through when the chips ended..,chips were also cold, While I was there the orders were all placed and everyone was still being asked to stand outside curb side, before the counter staff started serving. Obviously eking out the chips and giving them time to turn cold. All round poor experience and customers are undervalued.

Excellent Fish n chip shop. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will defiantly go back there

Simply the Best Lovely fish n chips 🍟

Haddock and chips still as good lunchtime as in the evening. Piping hot and cooked to perfection.

Amazing fish & chips for party with stupendous service and delivery to the park. Delivered hot, labelled and with accessories ready to go.
