Fantastic fish and chips, with curry sauce on top. Little bit of wait, to be expected on a Friday evening. Impressive team work and ordering system ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best fish and chips within Dorset, their service was fantastic and the food was even better. Their haddock, I’ve tried many times and every time it never disappoints, aswell as the chicken burger. I recommend 100%.

Decent, cooking fresh isn't really a excuse for slow turnaround. Building itself looks abit dated to be fair, and I didn't find the food to be all that great. Subpar with other chippies in the area.

Wonderful fish and chips. I have the regular cod, small chips and mushy peas. The fish tastes really fresh with a lovely light batter, the chips are not greasy.

The good burghers of Poulner (near Ringwood) really don't know how fortunate they are to have this gem of a Chippie in their midst. Fish and Chip shops of this quality are rare. For a family of six, we had haddock that was ultra-fresh and chips that were crispy and light, packed in environmentally friendly paper containers, and served by three courteous and friendly staff. And it didn't cost us an arm and a leg! (BTW: the photos above show an old price list!) While we waited for our freshly fried fish and chips, we were encouraged to see a steady flow of appreciative customers - a good sign. So, come on Poulner, let's hear it for your Gold Top Chippie!

Very good fish and chips and plenty of choice for other options. Very good quality and portion size. Batter was light and crispy and the chips were lovely.

We were on holiday in Ferndown which is not too far away from Poulner Fish and Chips. On this occasion we only ordered some regular chips from them. The chips were well cooked and clearly cooked from the order rather than having spent ages in the cooker. The premises looked well cared for and clean with a variety of options available including a good selection of drinks and crisps. The size of the order was reasonable and two regular ships easily fed a family of four. I cannot comment on the fish on this occasion. I like to promote businesses which seem to do a good job therefore I have attached photos of their flyer which I got a couple of days ago. Hopefully this will help someone to know whether they want to go there or not. N.B. This shop can take card and contactless. However, they do request via a sign to consider cash as it seems the card fees are eating into their margins, understandable given the cost of living situation. They report that the local Tesco nearby has a free ATM so this may help someone too. The staff were friendly and efficient and they clearly have a good amount of custom, even right from opening which is a good sign!

Not impressed! Won't be getting Fish & Chips here again in a hurry. As one portion was for someone with a gluten intolerance, we asked for one fish without batter and one with, which they have done before. This time when we got home, both were covered in batter, leaving soggy slimy fish when batter removed. Disgusting!

Perfection, the steak n kidney pie was the best I've had in a long time. Spot on. To add; large chips was plenty between 3. And the shop is absolutely spotless.

Not impressed, i ordered regular chips and the portion size was appauling. I was served by a young lad and as he added the chips to the bag you got the feeling he was being quiet tight with the portions. I even asked ' Are you sure they are regular size?' to wich he answered yes. When i left i felt ripped off at the size of the chip bag as i know other local fish and chips would give at least double the amount on there small portion. Wont be coming back!

Got haddock and chips for parents which they enjoyed and 1 regular chips would have been fine between the two of them. I had a quarter chicken which was good cooked through and not dry, just the tiny bit of wing where thin etc that dried out. Freshly cooked as waited and was fast, brought to us as we waited outside. Could have phoned an order in advance and picked up

We decided to get fish and chips tonight, rang up with our order and was told it would take 15mins. I thought this was strange as they had just opened (I used to work at a chippy in my student days) we went passed on the way home to wait and the store was empty. Arrived at the allotted time and we still had a 12 minute wait. Yes 27 mins for two fish and chips. My wife however was entertained, as the servers friends turned up and barged passed everyone, this however did slow the process as they had to talk. Despite having order number one his friends were served yeap you guessed it what looked like fish and chips best but on the way out he forgot the salt, so it all had to be redone. This is not the way to treat customers, to serve your friends especially seeing that no money changed hands and no masks were worn. Paying customers treated with contempt and left waiting outside in the cold so that he can leave room for friends who by the way dumped there van on the corner causing an obstruction.

It is OK. We went back to the shop after having left it for some time and they have definatly upped their game. There are cleanliness certificates on the wall and the menu is huge. IMO, they need to work on consistency now. One day, it's the best we've eaten and another it's not so good.

This is our local chippy and the food is ok but every time the service is painfully slow. Today I came in for one portion of chips and even had to sit and wait for this. They say they cook everything to order but there must be a reason that this is not necessary in any other perfectly good chip shop I have ever visited. The food is ok but not mind blowingly award winning. There is nothing to look at in the hot cabinet because they haven’t cooked it yet. You cannot walk in and see what takes your fancy. I waited over 10mins for a portion of chips and they weren’t even busy. Last time I tried them I added a portion of chicken nuggets to my order of large chips and battered sausage and a small cod and the nuggets could have broke a window they were so hard. They had been precooked. Tend to have to drive to Harleys in Verwood which I can do in less time and the food is always spot on.

The fish and chips are good and everything is cooked to order which means the food is always hot and fresh but I was slightly put out at the £15 minimum spend. Feel it's a bit cheeky in this day and age where everyone uses card and I'm pretty sure it doesn't cost them anything to use the card machine. I could understand a £5 minimum spend but think £15 is taking the mickey.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. My partner phoned to order a meal at approx 6pm for collection at 7.30pm. This was all said to be fine. However, when he arrived, they hadn't made our food because it was 'too busy'. They then proceeded to tell us they couldn't make our order up due to them being 'snowed under'. The shop didn't seem very busy at all. All in all, they've lost a regular customer. I won't care to spend my money there again.

Visited today for family lunch. Delicious food and friendly service. However, poor Housekeeping really detracts from the overall experience sadly. The chairs in the restaurant desperately need reupholstering! The fabric is worn and badly soiled 🤢 - extremely off putting when dining there. The dust around the fireplace was so evident - a shame as “on the surface” (pardon the pun) the place looks as though it should be of a higher standard.

While visiting the area, we pre-booked breakfast at Seashells on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, we encountered an unexpected challenge upon arrival as the restaurant is located on the first floor. Having not noticed this on the website (there’s a note on the contact page which we hadn’t visited), it proved difficult for my husband, who has restricted mobility. While we managed to negotiate the stairs, it wasn’t ideal and unfortunately means we won’t be returning. As for the breakfast itself, the full English was underwhelming and lacked the quality we expected, both in terms of ingredients and presentation. The service was equally disappointing, with the staff seeming unfriendly and disengaged, which added to the negative experience. On a more positive note, the view from the restaurant is lovely, but overall, the experience was not one we would repeat.
