Somewhere Else Fishy in West Dorset

I’ve been staying with friends in Sherborne, and tonight we fancied fish & chips. As this establishment took card payments I decided to order from them. Rang to check & got superb phone service from a team member, who took my order & collection time. As I ordered three cod, I was asked if I’d consider haddock. A brilliant bit of selling, so I changed my for to a haddock and didn’t regret it one bit. Upon arrival, it was continued great service & excellent customer interaction with us & existing customers. It’s so rare to find such great customer service, especially coming from London, where it can be very hit & miss. Our food was superb, freshly prepared & looked great too. Portion size was brilliant (a large chips feeds three! Well it did for us). I also ordered two pickled eggs, a wally & two sides of mushy peas (which I don’t normally eat, but tried it & was dry pleasantly surprised). The chips were not soggy in any way, & the batter on the fish was outstanding. Light & absolutely perfect; the best I’ve ever had! I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone, on so many counts, not least on service, food quality, freshness & price! When I’m back in Sherborne, I’ll be returning without question & will tell everyone about how good this place is! Many congratulations to the entire team, seen & unseen!

Lots of lovely fresh gluten free options.

Vary help full staff knowledgeable and explaining in away i could understand thank you.

Great chippy unlike the other one

Best fish and chips and mushy peas in Sherborne by far.

Great chippy. All cooked fresh.

First time visiting yesterday! We went because someone who lived in Sherborne for a long time recommended it. It did not disappoint! I won’t be going to any other fish and chip place in the area.

Heavy soggy batter, limp soggy chips and excessively salty. Pineapple rings inedible, tasted absolutely foul

It was my first time getting to visit the new location in Sherborne, and the food and service were superb! We are firm fans of Something Else Fishy, and I'm pleased that the new location matches the quality we've come to expect of the original restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff took our order. Our food was ready in no time, and my god it was delicious. Can especially recommend the Salt and Pepper Squid - to die for! Top choice for fish and chips in my opinion.

Stopped here for lunch with a colleague the other day for Plain jumbo and chips , well priced and portion sizes were alright , although both of us found the sausage a bit funny tasting and a fair bit of grissel but the chips were very very nice !

Best fish and chips you can get! Always delicious and served with a smile. Thank you

Perfectly cooked, delicious chips (lightly crisp outer, fluffy inner - perfect). Battered sausage also had the nicest light batter. Everything was cooked freshly to order, I didn't wait long and didn't mind the wait in this friendly chippy. Will definitely be back to try more of their offerings when I'm next in Sherborne. Also I should add the place was spotlessly clean. Well done team! 10/10

I always have cod and chips. They are delicious. Love this chippy.

We travelled from Yeovil to get gluten free fish and chips. We were not disappointed. Friendly staff, incredible food at a good price! Well worth the drive!!

Great atmosphere. Customers very friendly

Great fish and chips, top quality

Can’t fault it! Lovely staff, delicious and non greasy food. Really impressed 😁

the best fish and chips shop in sherborne

My wife and I recently ordered takeout from Somewhere Else Fishy and were thoroughly impressed. The sausages and chips were delicious, reasonably priced, and the service was friendly and fast. We highly recommend it for a tasty and affordable takeaway meal.

Excellent gluten free fish and chips. What a godsend for those that need it! Lovely staff, couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you!

Really good fish, chips,squid, mushy peas and curry sauce. All excellent.

First time here after I heard that the Milborne Port operation expanded to this location as well. Good service and in my opinion the best fish and chips in either Sherborne or Yeovil. 😎👏

Fisherman's Trio was burnt and underwhelming, nearly had cod until I saw how small the portions are... Won't be back.

Very good all round. Take away fish and chips are perfect for me and a really happy atmosphere. Thank you.

I ordered a large chip. It was not large, just average. If you're after big portions, go to grass royal fish and chip shop. Update: Ordered large chips again from here. WOW! this time, they were LARGE! And delicious! my only guess is that the server misheard my order last time. Top marks.

Lovely large batter sausage and chips £3.95 bargain and very tasty will be back

It was the 1st time I tried it . The fish and the chips were not oily nice and dry. The fish cod was all white meat no grey bits. I would recommend them 1st class 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very tasty banana blossom with chips. Good that chippys are catering for vegans.

Very friendly and efficient service g ood very good.

Always the best fish and chips ! Great gluten free options.

Much better than under the previous management.

Fantastic, friendly service from the ladies in the restaurant would be a good place to start with this review. The fish and chips? Nothing short of exceptional, great flakes with crispy batter that isn’t too greasy. The chips were great too, nice and fluffy with a crispy skin. This will definitely be a regular haunt in future.

First try at this branch and very very disappointed not a patch on Milborne Port. Batter was not cooked enough very greasy fell of the sausage in a heap. Fish not crispy either

Edit: Recently taken over and had a name change. Review is from its former guise, Pisces. My favourite fish and chip shop in town. Good choice on offer and staff always polite and friendly. Parking available outside.

Fantastic service and good quality fish and chips. I even ask for my fish to be cooked a little longer. Nothing is to much trouble for them very helpful staff. Would highly recommend the new owners are great and I wish them all the best

Was the best chippy around ever. Full stop

There are probably only 5 fish and chip shops I have bought fish and chips from during the last 30 years I consider worth returning to. This is one of those five.

Takeaway only, fish chips, pizza etc... Owner has good sense of humour, either go for takeaway, entertainment or both.

Great quality, fast and friendly. Thank you :)

Dreadful, rude owner, chips cold and just bits, not nice at all.

Lovely chips and buttered sausage 😋

Amazing chippie. I love the place, a little bit too much, and should have smaller portions. But such great food. Gentleman owner is a pure character and nice man. Just go there. And, unlike some other chippies in town, is always open ☘️

chips were yesturdays warm ups,microwaved pie,sausage under cooked, will never use again,very poor,if i could leave no stars i would

Great fish and chips and excellent service and hygiene in these difficult times.

Fantastic...Great service and utterly delicious food

Excellent fish and chips, really fresh and tasty! The place is also very clean and has a great vibe

I've known this chip shop about years at least 28,yes,!! & it's lush & always recommend the place to anyone,!!!!

Friendly service and great fish and chips

Phoned order threw, and its ready for collection by the time I get there

A very competent chippy - tasty food, friendly service and good value.

Fantastic fish and chips. The owner has his own unique form of customer service. Always makes me smile 😁😁😁

Not as nice or cheap like it used to be and Sherborne only having two chip shops limits choice,last visit the the cod was a bit bland and chips tasteless,always appears busy i would guess due to the captive audience effect of the surrounding estate,owner is very cheerful and happy to serve however,comes no where near Gordons in Yeovil for quality and quantity who are probably the best in the area and well worth a trip to Yeovil for.

Amazing Gluten Free Fish and Chips so good I thought they'd given me normal!!!! Been back twice and I live 11 miles away

Best fish and chips in sherborne

Always friendly staff, always excellent food and great value as well. Beat chippy around

Awesome food .fresh with a service second to none. Well reccomrec

Great fish and chip shop, easy access, fantastic service, ashame theres no delivery service, but the taste is great, not fat soaked, the best, variety on the menu also, I have to say it is the better chip shop in the area.

The food taste great. Would come here again

Best Fish and Chips in the area!!!

Gluten free options available. Very friendly and helpful

Always excellent, freshly cooked fish and chips from Pisces. Never had a bad one from here. Very friendly staff too.

Best quality in town. Tastiest chips, delicious fish and chicken and by far the largest portions compared to the chain in Yeovil. Thank you Paul, family and team for providing Sherborne,consistently, with the tastiest fish suppers

The guy was on his phone as I was waiting to be served he was not friendly at all stood on his phone customer service is poor Paul is really friendly tho shame his staff let him down

I got wrong information about closing times. I caught the employees cleaning up after closing. I asked if they were closed, I got a rude "yes". Then I said I had read online they closed and 9:30. The older man got very aggressive and said "I don't even have a website, mate". I thanked him and left. Maybe he was having a bad day, or he is incredibly insecure. There was no need for such rudeness. I wish him luck with his business, and hopefully he treats other customers better, but I for one will not be going back ever. Having lived in the area for 20 years, it's a shame people have to be like this. But it happens all too much these days. Try and be nice people, not everyone is out to get you...

Not the best in town, man is always rude there, rude to staff too.

Always happy with our chips from Pisces and very friendly staff

Visited as our village chippy was shut, and pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be back.
