Poulner Fish & Chips in New Forest

Fantastic fish and chips. Service was really good. Fish tasted really good quality and cooked to order. Chips were perfect and a good amount of vinegar which is hard to come by normally. Curry sauce is 👌

Great quality fish and chips! The chips were nice and crispy, fish was a good size to share and the fishcake had lots of flavor. It didn't take too long to process the order, however we did order via phone before, but then had to wait for the order to be ready when we arrived (as if the order hadn't been processed), so we might as well have ordered directly there) Perhaps this is incase people don't turn up for their order. Other than that, a great little fish and chip shop!!

By far the best chips in the area, consistently good, and I thoroughly recommend this company 👌

Great stop!!! Found this gem of a place after being stuck on the a31 in traffic and I’m glad for the hold up!! Will definitely vist here on our way though again. Big thanks to all the staff the food was epic!!!

Always a great meal, and friendly staff. Good range of food, best chips.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great fish & chips. No skin or bones. Nice thick pieces of cod. Kids said sausages & fishcakes were tasty too. 👍

Excellent chips. Really impressed. Very quick service even though it was all cooked to order.

Great fish and chips with brilliant friendly staff and owner.

Freshly cooked fish and chips cooked perfectly cooked to order best way

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%.

Delicious food and lovely staff

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.

Fish lovely batter and chips always freshly cooked. Delicious

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 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 large selection of drinks. 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.

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.

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!

Everything is cooked fresh to order but is certainly worth the wait. Some of the best chips that I've had.

Freshly cooked to order, good portion size. Had to wait slightly longer as was busy but food was good quality. Staying at a local cam site.

Great crispy batter, juicy fish and friendly staff, it will become a regular stop off for me while heading along the A31!

Amazing food! Fast service! Great customer service! Best fish and chips i have had in a while! Would 100% recommend!

Authentic fish and chips. Delicious food, fast service. It was fresh, well spiced with salt and vinegar. Cod as well haddock was very tasty, chips made of local potatoes. Highly recommend, you can't get any more authentic experience than this.

Had not had fish and chips for a while. Fancied fish and chips, and chicken nuggets and chips. Very tasty, ordered over the phone, walked straight in, dinner in 5 mins. Very friendly staff!!!!!

Wasn’t 1st time and won’t be last time absolutely great fresh fish and chips. It’s all cooked to order nice and fresh which I don’t mind waiting extra 10mins to get fresh food. On top great staff

Very tasty take away fish n chips. We both had a large Haddock with regular chips, plenty to eat. Nice that they are severed in basic paper bag so less waste. (I wouldn’t bother with plastic carriers they just get damp with the steam)

Nice little chippy with friendly staff.

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!

Fabulous food and great workers !

good fresh cod,and fresh hot chips.not kept warm for ages. thoroughly recommend.

Great fish and chips friendly service

Great food, freshly prepared & good service.

Just visited Poulner Fish and Chip shop for the first time. The food was first class, really tasty and really freshly cooked. It is worth the wait as the food is cooked to order. The staff are friendly and the shop is really clean. I would highly recommend this fish and chip shop. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely chips served piping hot👍👍

It’s my local chippy everytime I have family over, I always treat them to fish and chips at poulner as I know they never disappoint. Clean shop and great customer service keep it up.

Not good at all... scampi was so small, rattling around in the batter, Rock was very small too and as for the large chips... no way were they large. Rubbish for how long we waited...

Lovely food served all the time staff very friendly

Here on holiday and tried pie n chips from Poulners omg 😲 we thought our local was good but this was amazing never had chips like it you'd think they were air fried dry and crispy on the out fluffy on the In! 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.

Great chips! First chip shop I have been to where the chips haven't been sloppy and greasy. Super pies too.

Nice chips but haddock didn't taste fresh

I recently moved to poulner, and came to the chip shop to feed my family of 6 What can I say fantastic, clean, tasty, affordable and welcoming friendly staff, will defiantly be going back as a regular

Amazing chip shop. It has to be the best one around in my opinion

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

Foods ok beefburgers are worth staying clear of though.

Really is nice! Chips put other shops to shame! Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. Great food, reasonable prices and excellent staff.

Excellent food (and that's from a very picky eater when it comes to fish); great price and service, convenient hours and parking !!!

This is a great fish and chip shop. Good fish, well cooked for each customer and ready when they say it will be.

It's a 40 mile round trip for me. I love the food sold here. Staff super friendly. Perfect

Always great quality and worth the wait

Great portion sizes, kids meals were just right (even for an adult!). Everything was cooked lovely and the prices were really good too. Lovely clean takeaway and covid compliant too.

Lovely fish & chips would visit here again

Always a good meal and covid safe

Great service even with following coving guidelines. Phoned through the order, paid when I got there, had my order brought out, alm in 15 minutes. Brilliant!

Great fish and chips and very friendly people.

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.

Best fish and chips around! Routine stop when I travel down from London! The Cod & chips is 5/5. But more importantly, the shop very clean!

Best fish and chips I've had from a takeaway in a long time.

Great staff and perfect chips. Fish is cooked well too. Very decent

States open until 930. It isn't. Arrive at 910 and refused service.

Great fish and chips and lovely staff too!

Away for the weekend and was recommended this chip shop, and I have to say it's be far the best fish and chips I've ever had! Shame it's to far away to travel to more often. 110% highly recommend.

Delicious fish and chips, good prices lovrly friendly staff

Disappointed. Small overcooked fish.

Highly Recommend. Great fish and chips, freshly cooked and very friendly staff. This was my 4th Visit here and never been disappointed, only if it was closer home.

Great Fish and chips, Crispy Batter they cook to order its a little bit of a wait but definitely worth's the wait. Well done Poulner keep up the good work

Always welcoming and the portions are spot on for the value, love the place

Excellent food cooked fresh to order, would highly recommend

Lovely chips, sausages were tasty , only criticism is that everything is cooked to order, so no quick in and out

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.

Quick service and a good sized portion of chips. Thumbs up from me.

Food freshly cooked while you wait and some ready to go friendly place.

All freshly cooked to order. Always worth waiting for!

We had some chips and cheese sticks. They were very tasty and I would definitely come back here for more food.

Polite staff, great grub and good prices!

Not impressed. The chips seem like they been reheated. I've tried it twice now but there won't be a 3rd time

decent fish and chips. We usually order a bag of large chips and two large cod - that's fine for two teens and two adults ( and a few slices of bread for chip butties )

Great tasting fish and chips. Good portion sizes. Able to order by phone for collection.

Fish was nice but very slow service

Really good food thoroughly recommend this place !

Very nice food very friendly people

I love their pea fritter is tasty first I've had that's yummy since 1999 in my old chippy in andover which us gone now. Cod was yummy batter tasty. Battered sausage was yummy to did not taste like dog meat very pleased. Chips came yummy but to many I couldn't finish. Will be buying again .

Fantastic chips with curry sauce and the fish lovely and crispy batter!

Fantastic food. Fresh with so much flavour

Would have been 5 stars but portions a little small otherwise good

Visited whilst staying the area. Fish was cooked fresh and batter put on just before going into the fryer. Batter was crispy and Chips were really nice too.

Had a meal from here while visiting the area, was very impressed with the quick and cheerful service from the staff. Food we ordered was very tasty

My husband and I had 2 regular cod in batter, chips, mushy peas and pickled onions from here. The fish and chips were not greasy and we really enjoyed them. The service was very good and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Good quality meal - just standard fish a chips - freshly cooked and of a good size. Shop was clean and there was no smell of cooking oil and staff were polite.

Very friendly staff and great fresh food !

Large portions but not best quality.

Consistently good fish and chips, well worth a slightly longer wait as cooked to order

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.

Hands down best fish and chips around the Ringwood area. Fast and polite service, top quality fish.

Great little chippy, fish cooked fresh and to order, yes you have wait a while but it’s worth waiting for. Highly recommended

We frequently get fish and chips from here and it has always been good. Really friendly service, great portion sizes and cooked really well! There’s sometimes a wait if its busy but only because its all freshly cooked so happy to wait.

Local chippy to my parents. Good selection of food and fish, average on price, but most importantly it is all well cooked and tastes great!
