Seafare in Guildford

Typical fish and chip shop grub. Friendly staff, nice venue, great location. Not the best, but a good fish and chips.

Since this place has gone from a Seafare franchise to independent Cooper's Fish & Chips we have not found it open on the days we've decided to make use of it! For years any Monday that happens to be free of commitments we make use of the Gluten Free Monday. The last 3 times we've planned this, we've found the place inexplicably closed with nothing on the website or on the door to warn us of this. Not happy!!

Not the same since re-brand I’ve not been back. What on earth possessed them with such a silly name / brand colour

First time at Coopers. Wow! Looks like it’s had a new refit. Quick pleasant service. Fantastic fish & chips. Cooked fresh. Not soggy at all especially the chips were perfect. Our new go to Fish & Chip shop.

Listen here I am absolutely FUMING with the food here and service here, I wanted a Big Mac with no Big Mac sauce with large fries and a McFlurry to later find out that they only do fish and chips what kind of place is this, wouldn’t come here again 😡

New name, same great staff and amazing food.

Quick efficient service. Great fish and chips! (...Well what I got anyway - dog stole most while I wasn't looking. She liked it too.)

Great fish and chips. Always fresh and familiar. They have some exciting extras

It’s the first time tonight that I have had chips from coopers The best chips I’ve had in over 30 years I was shocked to find potato in them The previous seafare i don’t understand how they won so many awards All I can think was the opposition were absolutely terrible You could get more potato out of a packet of crisps. Compared to what seafare used to serve ‼️

Not great. Fish was good but what is going on with the chips ?!

Had some chips tonight and there was not the best from there.

Great family run business, really nice fish and chips, and super friendly staff - Thanks for the mug!

Nice fish n chips but not open often

We've been using this place for years and last night I had the best fish and chips I have ever had from anywhere.

Amazing food, even better service. Absolutely recommend to anyone!

Quality food served up by quality people. Clean and fresh and soooo yummy. Know the owners well and may I say, what a family!!! You will not be disappointed. Such a great spot.

Large cod small chips cod taste less really allready cooked and in the hot cabinet I know good fish this was okay far from the best great service 👌

We decided to have a fish supper on Newlands Corner. Seafare was on our route. A great find. Fast service. Great fish and chips. Well cooked. Not greasy. Clearly fresh oil in the fryer. Will definitely come back.

Great fish and chip shop, nice friendly staff and always quick to get your order ready. Thank you, Stu.

Weds night - appalling meal. Chips were hard and floury and utterly inedible. Fish was limp with soggy batter. No attempt to make an effort. Family were so disappointed. Never again.

Not the nicest of lunch break experiences. A deliveroo chap was coming out as I went in. I gently put a finger on the door to close it slightly quicker as it was chilly outside. It then felt like I got told off by the gentleman behind the fryers as it was a self closing door (obviously) and I may 'damage it'. My work colleagues food order was wrong with a missing battered sausage. And I appreciate a fish and chip shop is not a good idea for a cheese burger. But went for it as that's what I wanted. Awful little thing like a birdseye from the freezer. Wish I had taken a photo. Only ate half. Chewy. The lady on the counter was lovely though. She let me have a couple of free sauce sachets. I know the fish is good as I've had it many times before. Just don't go off piste.

New renovation is very stylish 😍 great customer service and amazing fish and chips. Everything is also priced well. Glad I went for a quick and delicious dinner.

Large Cod … not flaky and very thin and certainly not worth £11.00 … Chips … thin cut with lots of black marks on them.. Very disappointing

I think they must be rationing in this shop because the “large” chips, which costs a fortune, fits in the palm of my hand.

Had family over so my daughter pre-ordered 6 meals over the phone. We collected and they were all ready and waiting. The girl serving promptly found a plastic bag to cover the order bag as it was raining. Lovely grub, generous portions, Very clean and sparkling interior. Their website is a bit of a joke; it needs a proper re-vamp. It's not very old so they need some good advice, it is very user-friendly, hardly legible. Plus no Huss. Now maybe this is an endangered species and when asked on the phone the guy said they hadn't had it for over 3 years . . . which begs the question, why is it still on the Online Menu? Despite the abysmal website though it is a great Fish and Chip Shop! I wonder if I'll get a response to my review?

The best. I was out of the area and they help us out with tasty fish and chips

Old fashioned fish and chips. Cooked beautifully, served with a smile. If all fish and chip shops were this good there wouldn't be MacDonalds

My favourite. Does not compare with Seafare Worplesdon!

Reasonable prices with a large selection of food to choose from. The chips are very well made and are my personal favourite, the atmosphere is 2 stars because it is really hot inside which is not great when you walk in with a coat in winter or when its already 30 degrees celsius outside.

Not good staff seem under stress and I don't mean heat stress food not wonderful it has awards for food on wall Ummm order was not all in the bag had to go back

Have given this shop a fair chance and benefit of the doubt. Used them 4 times within a year. Every time the chip portions are small and of poor quality. They are oily to a point where you can wring them out and under cooked, suggesting the cooking oil is not hot enough? The battered sausage is the same. Nice batter but far too oily. Shame as the shop is very convenient for me but I refuse to spend anymore money there. I hope they take feedback on board and the quality of the cooking improves.

Very pricey £4.80 for a large chips that are not that large and were not very nice,i didn't buy a large cod at nearly £11 i couldn't afford it ,not cheap as chips here!!!

A great fish & chip shop, constantly providing above average meals. Worth the detour off the A3.

Freshly cooked and good portions - staff very helpful

Fish and chips good here. Generous portion of chips

We've been occasional customers of Seafare for many years. The Burpham Seafare used to be up there with the very best in the UK (Our best experience time and again is Pages in Cwmbran). The last few times we have ordered from Seafare Burpham we have been deeply disappointed: The service is still good but the fish has been overcooked even when cooked from fresh while we waited, and the chips have been over or under-done. It no longer warrants the prizes it has won in the past. I very much doubt if we shall ever return to Burpham Seafare.

Usually great but very angry staff in there tonight, slamming or dropping all food into bags. £20 of fish all mashed up for us tonight. Shame as I drove from the other side of town to stay loyal to this company.

Just been to the Seafare in Burpham...paid £45 for 4 very small portions of luke warm cod & chips...so disappointed....top small fhe price ...won't be going again

Convenient to park and collect fish and chips for a quick meal on the go .Need to wait for some items to be cooked

Great fish and chip shop. My parents look forward to the food when they visit all the way from Gloucester.

Pleasant family owned business. Courteous and friendly. I personally didn't have anything on order, but Fish, Chips and Sausages looked tasty.

Good fish and chips. Asked for an item but was told by the cook he had to hold it back for Deliveroo customers - awful! Turning up in person to be told a Deliveroo customer was being given preferential treatment and the item hadn’t even been ordered. What happened to first come first served! Will order on Deliveroo next time to make sure I get what I would like given in person customers are second rate customers!

It's always OK....but not great

What a wonderful experience. It was a pleasant surprise to walk in, order some food and have it in my hand about a minute later. Just like a Chippy used to be. Well done Seafare.

Always great for a I don’t want to cook kind of evening, great meal.

Food is good enough but like I've seen someone else state on here the cook is one of the rudest people to the young lads and girls that serve for him. Ask for something that he doesn't already have warm in the cabinet and it's like you're doing him a disservice. That's your job pal to serve what the customer wants from your menu. Always gives the place a horrid atmosphere and I feel sorry for the people that have to work in his presence and be subjected to that rubbish behaviour from a grown man.

Best chippy in guildford! We drive from across Guildford to go here. Owners are awesome and friendly, service is impeccable and the food is always good! Always a cue on the weekends so you know its a good chippy! Do yourself a favour and go down.

Cod and chips? More like sardine and chip. They're having a laugh.

Ordered 2 adults meals tonight, quick service, friendly staff & the food was on point. Best food we’ve had from a fish and chip shop for a long time. Will definitely be going back more often, Thankyou!

Very good quality, very fast serving, tried a few times, was never disappointed.

Very pleasant visit. Staff polite and nice. Establishment clean and tidy. Food brilliant.

Decided to pop in after swimming at the spectrum. The quality of the chips was brilliant. Just wish I sampled more food. Till next time.

Got my chips back to hotel 2 mins away they where cold

Good fish, had plaice and cod, both cooked fresh, chips not too bad

Really good fish and chips. Fresh fish and decent chips. Its just what you want from a chippy, great fresh food served well.

Banging, plain and simple easily some of the best fish and chips in Guildford hands down

Possibly the worst fish and chips I have had in a long time. Overpriced and very dry. Hiugely disappointed.

£ 3.80 pence for a single sausage So two sausage std chips and curry sauce has just cost me £ 11.90 I feel this is very expensive for a meal normally costing £ 8.00 pounds I shall not using again !

Consistently high standard of food. The fish is always of good quality and the chips are great. Generous portions as well.

Quick service nice food reasonably priced

Make sure you ask to cook to order. I bought a large cod and haddock yesterday and the haddock in particular was dry as if it was cooked way before I arrived.

never buy again the food was cold and not good

Good size amazing taste and fast service

Time & again proves itself to be the best F&C ever. You can get good Fish & Chips in some pubs now, and away on holiday, especially on the coast. However, we come back to Seafare, even more so as they do a Gluten Free Monday for my wife, and we still remark how this is the very best Fish & Chips anywhere, ever.

Lovely fish and chips as always

Got a pile of mashed potatoes instead of chips. Disgusting….

30th of June 2021 I went into the shop to get some chips for supper around 2000hr now I wish I hadn’t, a young tall lad with curly hair working behind the counter was being shouted at by the man cooking the chips etc, nobody deserves to be spoken to like that in the work place especially in front of customers, shame on that man, I thought about that boy all evening, hopefully he’ll tell him to poke his job, and I’ll never go in there ever again, DISGUSTED

Reliably good fish and chips. Haddock excellent.

Had sausage and chips x 2, food was cold, chips dry and sausages dripping with fat. Have not had a takeaway from here for a couple of years they used to be very good, just hope it is an off day.

It's a disappointment. All over cooked not terribly appetising. Shame it used to be good.

Chips were a touch cold and the fish portion size was a bit small, but overall good taste. A well run establishment clean and tidy requires a few small improvements. I see they do a lunchtime offer for OAP's, a nice touch!

Fresh fish, quick service, clean premises, excellent Covid awareness.

I used to visit there years ago. I always enjoyed the food there.

What can i say - who can survive without such a great local fish and chip shop!! the refurb has been really well done - keep up the good work guys!! i come here every week now

Seafare in Burpham. Very fresh crisp fish. Best fish and chips . The fish butter with great quality. Place is so clean and the cust. Service was excellent. This place is sparckling clean. Young Boys very presentable and with great customer professional approach. 👍👍👍👌👌👌 Yummy

Always good service either if you go into shop or get food delivered.

Great fish and chips and nicely packaged. Friendly and quick service. Nice clean tidy shop. The Burpham branch of Seafare I found slightly better than the Worplesdon road branch. However both are very good. The fish from the Burpham branch tasted even better. I had occasion to visit this outlet when the Worplesdon road branch was being renovated

The best fish & chips in the area, and great service. Highly recommended.

Great fish and chips very fresh

The cheesey chips are amazing and the other main meals are pretty good as well however the main meals are a little too greasy and the normal chips are not soft enough on the inside

Second best chip shop in Guildford

Quick bite, very homely and excellent customer service

For a coeliac Gluten Free Mondays are unmissable!

The staff are friendly and the food is very tasty

A lovely meal of chips and a Saveloy, will visit again.

Mushy peas were really dry and tiny portion. Chips were really dry also and not cooked well. Really bad calamari frozen from a packet small and tasteless. Will not be returning.

Monday only = excellent gluten free fish and chips. Phone to order in advance. This GF fish is far better than non GF fish and chip shop fish (lighter). staff very friendly.

Pleased to be back revisiting after a couple of years gap but really disappointed. Sadly very poor solid batter with little flavour and soft soggy type chips.

Never gone wrong with an order, fast to serve despite large orders. Kind staff who handle them selves with composure and calmness, even on a Friday night!

One of the best chip shops I have been to in ages would definitely reccomend 10/10

Just had a lovely Double Battered Sausage and Chips for Lunch from Seafare. Couldnt fault it ..... lovely tasting Battered Sausages and Chips exactly how i like'em !!

Very greasy fish. Got all the chip off cuts which were hard and rubbery. Decent portion but only half was edible. I dont know how this shop could have got an award. Possibly the worst fish and chips I've had in years...

Inedible chips. Dry and tasted of old oil. I usually use the Seafare in Stoughton which is 5/5 and chips are amazing. Will never go here again.

Seafare Burpham delivered nearly 100 fish and chip suppers to our family bingo social at Holy Trinity church. The food was fresh and delicious and delivered bang on time. Andy was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended if you're having a 'do'.

Soggy batter and the taste was bland. Riverside fish bar is so much better and food is served in keep warm packaging which really helps retain the heat. Would not use seafare again

Very good quality fish and chips

I had 2 steak and kidney pies and chips after a long day at work.The pies were very good and the chips were excellent,a brown colour for a change,unlike the usual off white chips you get in most chippies.A treat.

Very good fish and chips, almost every time.

Second to none in the area. Great food. Speedy service. And you can pay by card! There is a God!

Went in and ordered, then waited whilst 6 or 7 other people came in after us and got their food before us (not online orders). Regular cod was very small with slimey batter. Cannot see how they're multi award winning at all. Dimwitted, scowley service from 1 staff member.
