Philpott’s Fish & Chips in New Forest

excellent cod and chips fresh cod worth the £15 each excellent service first class food lovely old fashion fish and chips shop / resturant

Great fish and chips, batter was lovely and light ,

great food and always a happy friendly welcome

Run by a passionate young couple with a good knowledge of the history of the place. They've been there themselves for 18 years. We had haddock and chips to share, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavour and the best curry sauce I've had to date! Good portions and lovely service. Lots of places in the town to sit and eat with a view too. Would recommend 👌

Love this local fish and chip shop they make freshly chips and battered sausage I’ll aways go here for lunch

Best fish and chips in the area, as for his pea fritters spot on. Everything cooked fresh. Staff really friendly always up for a chat

The shop was full of acrid smoke when we were there for a takeaway. Fish was ok but dripping in fat that didn't taste great,but we were really disappointed with the chips.they were awful ,over cooked dry and a strange dark colour ,they tasted like reheated oven chips. Really disappointed .wont go again

Good fish and chips great service generous portions

Fantastic fish and chips, friendly officiant service. Crispy thin batter perfect.

Lush food! Amazing people! Cozy place! Mind your head

Nice fresh haddock and chips. Friendly service

Go large cod and large chips. Cooked just right. Make sure you ARE really hungry. Prices comparable with the norm nowadays dor chippies.

Visited there Friday 30th June at 18:00. Food was greasy n was given wrong size of chips asked for large and got given a small ! that or they are really tight for the price - all the tables were empty and it was freezing ! I said if I was to pay money in tip jar could I use them ? No - I was told ! table service is a different price I offered to pay for table and clean up but was still told no so had to go sit out in the cold being attacked by seagulls !not the shops fault but indoors was empty!! Asked for a large pie n chips n curry sauce- £10.50 - needless to say won’t be going back!

Orders a large portion of chips and a pie got the same amount as a small portion of chips and was charged well over £10

Philpotts is in my opinion, the best Fish and Chips I have ever had (and I have had a few Fish in Chips!). I used to frequent this chippy as a kid in the 80s. And I have been in love with it ever since. Any trip to Hythe has to include a trip to Philpotts! Absolutely delicious.

Just had dinner from Philpotts and it was lovely! The fish was huge and everyone said it was very nice, I had battered sausage and it was lovely, the chips were some of best chips I've had from a chip shop. The man working was very friendly and we will certainly be going back.

Just finished a delicious fish and chips from Philpotts. One of the very best I’ve had. Fish was lightly battered and very tasty. A rare compliment I can say is NOT A SINGLE BAD CHIP! All were crispy yet soft inside. Thoroughly recommend. 🐠

Best fish and chip shop in the area by far.! I am a bit of a fish and chip connoisseur and quite picky. I found that every chippie in the area disappointed me in one way or another.... Not this one Chips are cooked to perfection (slightly crispy, fluffy in the middle and not too greasy) Fish is always fresh and also cooked very well. Service with a smile

Nice little fish and chips take away in the village. Cooked fresh while you wait.

Lovely fish n chips. Light crispy batter.

Was hungry, now I'm not. Good chippy 👍🏻

The chips here are by far the best I've had in a long time! The staff are always friendly and happy to see you. Service is fast and polite. I would highly recommend a visit.

Superb fish n chip shop lovely food perfectly cooked and friendly polite staff, I would highly recommend a visit.

Fish was awful, dripping in oil and cold. Chips looked and tasted as if they were re fried from day before. Would certainly not recommend and will not go back again.

Great fish and chips and friendly staff

Tasty fresh cod, but next time I will go for big cod ,coz small is really small;)

Nice to have fish and chips 1 minute walk away from Hythe promenade

Fantastic battered plaice and chips on the evening of 25th June 2021. Very helpful staff, Highly Recommended 👍🏻 👍🏻

Tasty, well cooked fish and chips. Mind your head

Cannot believe how rude they are. Got a load of expletives back when we inquired about something.

Very tasty fish & chips. Best in the south. The chef really knows his stuff and spares no effort to please his customers, regular or passing trade. Would not hesitate to visit again or recommend.

Awful small cold cod and chips and a thin fried burger rock hard with grated rubbery cheese on top with chips £14 worse place I've ever eaten

Traditional Fish and chips, large portions, great value, highly recommended!

Very tasty fish and chips and the curry sauce is to die for. Guy in there is sound

Absolutely amazing every time! Our kids love the chips so much, we get a ferry from Southampton every couple of weeks especially to visit best chippy in the South! Warm welcome and service with a smile! Thank you! We will be back soon.

This is a great shop. Firstly we we turned up 2 minutes after opening. The owner asked if we wanted in or out. When we took the opportunity to eat in he opened up the whole backend. The young lady serving was not experienced in the menu (hence the drop in the rating) but food was excellent and the location was excellent. The owner was so nice and kind.

The best chip we have ever had and the curry sauce was off the scale amazing.

Only had a small chips. Seemed a bit pricey at 2.20ish for a tray but it's certainly a case of quality over quantity. Some of the best chips I've ever had.

Disgusting soggy batter greasy chips just awful never going there again

worst chips i have ever had no chance of choking with the amount of grease on them and in the tray never go there again.

These chips are truly the BEST I've EVER had.....and they're consistently the same! Crispy on the outside and soft and smooth in the middle. Just add salt and vinegar.....!

Sorry but the fish&chips could have been drained bit longer

Great fish and chips and lovely location

Lovely fish and chips and friendly service

The fish was fresh and very nicely battered. Some of the best chips i had. A pleasent view from the back garden of the sea. Seating area was clean and friendly staffed. Only thing is its cash only but there is a cash machine just next. We will be returning for seconds.

Well nice chips etc and very friendly staff

A great place to sit and enjoy Fish&Chips in Hythe in a charming friendly atmosphere. Not to be missed.

A charming, simple treasure by the bay! 400 year old building, 100 years a Fish and Chips place! Cooked fresh, served hot! Friendly too! We lucked out finding this little pleasure. Cash only. Grab a table and watch the sunset.

Friendly chip shop in Hythe village

Incredibly rude. Phoned to ask about taking group and before I finished my question, the owner said "Thank you" and put the phone down. Don't normally write reviews, but this one I felt was needed. I am sure the chips are good, but we will never know...

As an American coming to England, this is what I think of as a real fish and chips shop. First the outside is so inviting....with the name of the shop is a pretty green and white. Walk in and you have a ceiling about 6 feet so if you are tall watch your head. But once you are in you REALLY feel like you have gone back in time. Now you have a choice.....in front of youare some yummy items that you can buy and take away. Or you can order off the huge menu in front of you on the wall. Several types of fish are available.....some breaded, some battered. You can put in your order and wait to take it out OR.....head for the back of the shop where there are lovely little tables with much more head room. Outside you will see the beautiful Solent....great view. Most likely the owner will be here to take your order. He is he son of the original owner and a really nice person. Don’t be shy........if you aren’t familiar with a traditional fish and chips shop, ask any questions.....they are happy to help. And don’t be afraid of the mushy peas......they are just peas...mushed. I don’t get why.....must be a British thing. Anyway do try Philpot’s Fish and chips. The fish is perfectly cooked and just delicious.

Beautiful sea side chips!! The best for miles!!

Good quality traditional fish & chips that compares well with any in the Yorkshire heartland of fish & chips. Writing as a connoisseur of this food, Phipotts has a varied menu and very friendly and helpful staff. Good quality fried fish should - like at this shop - have the fish skin removed before cooking. Many fish & chip friers in the south of England don't remove the skin because they use deep frozen fish that cannot withstand being deskinned. Only fresh fish are suitable. Philpots does it better - the traditional way.

Definitely the best chips on the Waterside. Great menu and friendly staff. Thank you

Excellent Crispy batter on fish Super fantastic A good value meal

We visited here last week. Reasonable price, and friendly service too!

“Very disappointing, unfortunately not what I would expect.” Albeit this is a lunchtime special for £3.20 but the size is ridiculous, the chips are almost non-existent and lucky too as they were hard and cold, the fish is no bigger than a large fish finger. The batter was like a cake mixture and under cooked. In all a very disappointing lunch, will never be returning. Visited September 2015 1 of 5 stars Value 1 of 5 stars Service 1 of 5 stars Food

Love the fish and chips here when in Hythe sitting along the promenade when the cruise liners are in Southampton docks.

Good lunch time special £3.10 small fish & chip
