Plaice On The Hill in Havant

Dreadful service. Clueless. And very expensive for a chip shop. I had to wait 45 minutes just for chips while they served everybody else with fish. Any other chip shop would serve you straight away with just chips while other people expect to wait a while for their fish to be fried fresh but not this place. You're on a list which the staff struggle with. If you just want chips there is a Chinese next door that will serve you chips in less than 10 minutes. Lot of people left the Chinese with fish and chips while I was sat waiting for my chips. We won't be back.

We had lunch here and it was alright actually but 2 portions of chips took 10 minutes and we were the only ones waiting.

Sometimes wait longer than your average chip shop for food but it's our favourite around, great cheesy chips! And great battered sausage and chicken chunks.

It is what it is i guess, nothing special, the very minimum interactions as required. Chips pretty decent, and lots of them even in a small portion, sadly the curry roll (pictured) barely edible as far too crispy and overcooked. Not bad, but not good either

I dont know if this is new owners or what but something has gone wrong. Not used the place in a year or possibly two but this latest experience was not nice. The chips tasted like they were stale and had be leftovers from lunch and just reheated the battered sausage was like leather and I'm not even going into the fish cake. What happened to a once grate local chippy?

Seniors fish, chips and mushy peas only £6, nice size portion very good value for money.

They've never got anything ready. If you want just chips, expect to wait 40 minutes. If its busy forget it because they can't cope with more than one customer at a time. Avoid.

Very friendly staff good food good local chippy highly recommend

Very high standards, good quality and value for money. Recommended.

Best fish and chips ever biggest tastiest fish ever, crispy batter and tasty chips thank you

Went for lunch and were probably their first customers on a Thursday afternoon. Portions generous, prices quite reasonable, and quality high. Loads of large, well fried and moreish chips, large fish fillets, tasty batter, although my haddock was better than the cod my wife had which was a less tasty and appealing dish. Haddock I would rate as excellent, Cod I would rate as average. Will go back in future. EDITED - went back on Saturday lunchtime and got MASSIVE plaice and chips and big spicy chicken burger to feed an adult and two kids…for THIRTEEN POUNDS! Amazing. Upgrade to five stars, these guys are absolutely crushing it.

Excellent food, very clean, 5***** staff worth visiting.

Taken a dive in the last six months. Tonights food was sub par. Used to be really really good. Dirty oil and lunch time chips for dinner was not a great meal. They have put their prices up too and slipped in quality and freshess. Will be going back to 1st quay

Good food at great prices 👌 friendly polite staff! Best fish and chip shop in the area with excellent service

Doesn't take card so didnt go in, i dont carry cash when im working so went hungry, dont like the fact that a lot of fish and chip places are cash only

fish and chips very good size portion, not too greasy like you get in some chip shops! The staff are polite service quick.

The service was great, very friendly staff, Best kebab I've had in a long time, and chips were great

Epic fish and chips! We selected this ‘plaice’ on the strength of its reviews and locality, we were not disappointed and after a great takeaway will visit be back again…. And again…. We ordered a large con and chips and the portions were huge. The prices are around the same as most other takeaways, but the quality is supreme.

We had Haddock n Chips I have found this to be the best in the 28yrs I have lived in this area. I am Scottish and this is the closest thing to a Scottish Fish Supper Were very fussy about our Fish Suppers in Scotland 😋🐠 Fish was perfection chips were 'real' non greasy. Delicious. Very clean premises and lovely friendly staff. Maria Lovelock

We’ve been looking for a decent fish and chip shop now we found it, we go every Wednesday cod and chips, mushy peas curry sauce superb keep up the good work.

Best fish and chip shop I have ever had large fish could of feed two and it was hot aswell

Well cooked food & large portion sizes.

Great Fish and Chip shop and more !

Always good but too many chips for me.

Second try a year later. Cod (for my father) ok, chips, he would not eat as he said they were hard and reheated? I am not sure.. but I waited an age for our order when there were only two others in front of me… (one pushed in.. naughty boys!) I tried a chicken donna wrap for something different, but regretted it. Last time I think I had one was 20+years ago, now know why I never ordered again! Hot, soggy salad is not for me either. Feedback to owner… I would prefer a more ‘healthy option’ of no wrap and chicken and fresh salad in a carton so it stays fresh. But I am unlikely to go back again. Actually only reason I went in, was because the new pizza place next doors (10/10!) is only open lunchtimes Fri/Sat/Sun..

Lovely people and huge meals I can never eat it all and I do try hard as the fish is delicious. Well worth every penny.

Friendly staff, good food that's also cheap, and great variety. This plaice is amazing.

Oh my goodness.... had a selection of cod, sausage, chips and fish cakes or a family get together tonight and it was amazing. It beat us all and we can eat!!!! Good quality, huge portions and great value. Seriously all you can ask for from a chippie. We'll be back!!!

Great quality food at decent prices plus high standard service

THE BEST IN THE AREA. Can't fault it always cooked fresh and reasonable prices

We have been going here for the past two years and have always had good service reasonable prices and good size portions.

Absolutely love this plaice 😁. The food is always great and the portions are exceptional. Cannot recommend Plaice on the Hill enough.

Our local fish & chip shop. Great chips. Large portion enough for 3 people. Our choice is large cod. Quality is very good for a small local shop.

My fav fish n chips. Always cooked fresh.

Lovely fish as always well recommend

Best fish and chips in the area you won't find better

Best fish and chips around without any doubt

Great little chipshop, never had any poor quality items, I always ring ahead, saves a wait (which at peak times can be quite long).

Not up to usual standard. Tasted nice but large kebab with salad was more like large salad with small kebab. Small kebab with extra chilli sauce had even less meat and did not taste like it had extra chilli sauce. Small chips tasted nice.

Brilliant... just how a fish and chip shop should be. When it comes to chip shops this is a must have everytime.

When I arrived to stay with an elderly relative and I had to go out once a week for a take away. I was told to go here. In the past I understand it was a really good chippie. But although the service was friendly and polite, the food I was served seemed a bit over greasy and not very nice tasting. I then found out why.. I travelled a bit further into Purbrook village where for a little more the quality is way superior! Although handy, this greasy spoon does not hit the mark in our household. Also £1.75??? for a small pot of mushy peas? (I can get 4 cans in Lidl for that!)

I have been using this chippy every week for years and it's by far, one of the best chippys in the area. Nice friendly and polite staff, serving all your traditional chippy foods, plus burgers, kebabs, jacket potatoes and more.

Extremely satisfied with the food and prices. Lovely and clean , polite friendly staff. Disabled parking near by. Definitely worth a visit. Sadly no delivery tho.

The best fish and chips we have had in years and very reasonably priced. such friendly staff too

Excellent Quality, Very good value for money, by far the best in this Area

Excellent food served, always plenty in your portions. Cooked to how you like it, they always have the time of day for you nothing is a rush. Excellent place for a takeout.

This used to be a cracking fish and chip shop, but the Plaice On The Hill has gone rapidly downhill in the last two months. I know the pandemic is having an effect, but for the third visit running I waited 45 minutes (outside) for a simple order of two large cod, sausage and chips. I wasn’t alone. A fair crowd were getting more and more frustrated at the service. Where to start? The two girls there are simply not cut out for the job. Slow beyond belief, disorganised and rude. The organisation of the shop is dreadful. Get a simple ticket system, please. It will help you serve people in order and it will be obvious to those waiting who is next. It’s not rocket surgery. When you have 6/7 people waiting, hold off taking more orders until you have cleared your decks. And for heaven’s sake serve people in the order they order. Watching the second or third person who ordered after you walk away with your two large cod is sole destroying (sic). Such a shame. Maybe they have stopped trying since the fire in the Chinese chip shop next door. If you do decide to risk it... take a chair and a good book!

Friendly staff and very tasty food.... Huge portions 😉

Awful Chips, reheated and overcooked. Not happy when asked for money back. Going downhill unfortunately as used to be great.

Use on a regular basis always good can recommend.

Lovely food as always, generous portions of chips. Large one enough to go round 4 people just about! Large cod big enough for two to share!

Lovely quality fish and chips, seniors get mushy peas, or curry Sauce, as an option, all for under five pounds, lovely clean environment, with a good menu choice, can even get good fish pieces for the cat, highly recommended.

I've been using this chippy for several years. Friendly and polite staff. The food is always hot and freshly cooked to order.They have a great menu,everything you'd expect from a traditional fish and chip shop plus kebabs,burgers,jacket potatoes and more. Great sized portions, 2 small chips are enough to feed my family of 5.Highly recommended.

Great staff excellent food wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Best fish & chips shop and large portions 👍👍👍

We've tried a lot of fish & chop shops in and around Portsmouth and this is by far the best! Large cod and chips huge and delicious. Massive white flakes of beautifully cooked cod and very good prices. Recommend to anyone! Don't try the rest...try the best!!

Best Gluten Free Fish and Chips

Weekly treat of cod and chips. Cooked to perfection. Best chip shop for miles around. Five stars with no hesitation.

Never have a bad thing to say about the place. Excellent fresh food and helpful friendly staff. Everything is very homely.

Outstanding fish and chips everytime

Great fish and chip shop friendly staff good value for money

Nice staff , fish always freshly cooked, good-sized portions , never has a problem with any meal we have had ,would recommend to anyone

Just moved into the area and found these guys online. Had a great meal and we'll definitely be back! Chips were delicious and the battered fish was perfectly cooked and a good size. The staff were also really friendly, polite and professional, and the shop itself was clean and modern. Thanks for a great meal. Highly recommended.

I've been working there. Fantastic chips, you can only have chips with chips, that good they are. The fish is nice and worth the price. Love the pukka pies too

really nice staff, make good cheeseburgers and chips are also nice
