Food was ok but I've had better from other chip shops in lewes I feel £8.10 for 2 sausages and regular chips is far too expensive

The South Street chip shop remains the best chip shop in Lewes (in my opinion). I buy fish and chips there at least once every 2 weeks, and they have remained consistently excellent over the years. I do not understand the need to criticise the shop because of the ethnicity of the owners. All the staff are polite, quick, and serve the best F&C in Lewes, possibly in Lewes/England etc. What more can you expect?Jonathan round the corner

The fish was superb, moist with a lovely crispy batter. We prefer our chips a bit overdone but these were cooked through and also weren't greasy at all with a light crispy edge to some. One large chips perfect for two. Easy parking across the road, free after 5pm as I checked, and parking in Lewes can be a challenge!

The chips tasted reheated and chewy, the cod was bland and the batter was more soggy than crispy. Not feeling so great afterwards and very disappointed. Shame as used to be our favourite in town.

I ordered a small cod and chips. I had a few mouthfuls. The chips tasted like powder which is a sure indication of cooking and reheating. The fish was tasteless. More batter than fish. I feel so sick. I'm wrenching and have stomach cramps. This is not the first ive experienced this from this Eatery. I thought after a few years of not going there things would have improved but disappointingly it hasn't.

As an ex-Lewesian, I used to buy fish and chips here on a regular basis as it was, in my opinion, the best fish and chip bar in the town. As we were visiting friends yesterday, we decided to treat ourselves to tea and once parked, went to purchase some food. There was a small crowd of people patiently waiting for their food outside then shop so we went inside to place our order of Cod and Chips for me and Fishcake and Chips for my wife. The total cost was £15.60 which I thought was a little on the high side but for the anticipated quality of the food, I was willing to go with. After a 10 minute wait, our order number was called and we collected our food and made our way home to eat. Once home, we unwrapped the food which had remained hot for the 15 minute drive and the majority of the chips fell out of the paper onto my plate along with the fish. However, my euphoria was somewhat dampened when I ate the first chip; it was undercooked and still tasted a little raw! I cut into the batter on the cod which was quite hard and instead of their being succulent flakes of cod to greet me, the fish was dry and bland. My wife's chips were also undercooked although her fishcake was ok. All in all, we were both left with an enormous sense of disappointment and based upon this experience, will not be making any further trips to buy food from this establishment in the foreseeable future which is a shame because it has always been a firm favourite of mine.

The food is ok, depending on what day of the week you go. The staff are organised & polite but not at all friendly. It looks clean. The wait was not long and they were busy as it was early sat evening. We had a 10 min walk home, everything was a bit limp. Good pie, even though they had run out of steak n kidney. Good mushy peas and curry sauce. Ok prices, £20 fed 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We have been before and the food was a lot better but that was a week day.🙂

As a resident of Lewes, and a big fan of Fish and Chips, I was delighted by my experience at the South Street Fish Bar, which is the undisputed number one Fish bar in Lewes. Laura was super helpful in getting my order sorted and managed the busy Friday night queue with style. 10/10. If you're not getting your chippy tea from the South Street Fish Bar, you're not doing it right.

We visited at around 8.45pm and the fish bar was cooking to order, which was fair enough. There were lots of staff working. We counted six. They were friendly and polite. I was really disappointed though that both my cod and chips were undercooked. Both could have done with longer in the fryer at a time when they were not busy. It's a shame because I've had really good chips from them before.

I do not normally write reviews but i have been saying for a year now that i must write this Chip shop a glowing review, and here it is. I have like everyone else gone to a chippy and had a mixture of differently cooked chips everytime I visit, they are either okay, soggy or over cooked. But since i moved to Uckfield me and my partner found this little gem of a chippy tucked away at the back of Lewes one night. Ever since visiting i make sure we only get our fish and chips from this store we always make the special journey to use them. The food is consistently perfectly cooked and we have never had an over/undercooked chip or any other food from there. I literally can't believe how consistent it is i always pause at the start of the meal and say "I must write a review" To add the staff are always friendly quick and always smiling and i have never had a bad experience. I really cannot fault them. Thank you for the great food.

It is over 10 years since we visited this Fish & Chip shop. It was taken over about six years ago by Laotian owners. They were due to open at 11.30 today, but kindly saw me waiting outside and let me in 10 minutes early. They were very pleasant , friendly and helpful. I ordered two medium cod (£4.90 each) and one large portion of chips (£2.95), so the cost was slightly cheaper that average for the UK. I was told it would take just over 6 minutes to cook. Their estimate was accurate. The cod was excellent...beautiful flaky white fish with a good portion size, and the quantity of chips was enormous, but although chunky and looked lovely, they were slightly dry in texture. My wife had fancied this traditional British meal to celebrate her 80th.birthday, since we had to cancel a family meal at an Italian restaurant due to coronavirus. I served it with a "home made" Tartare Sauce...delicious. Parking is limited near this Fish & Chip shop (80p per hour) as all streets now have double yellow lines.

Having tried this Fish & Chip shop twice in the last few weeks, I can say they are first class. The chips always seem to be freshly cooked too and their is no back taste from old oil so the cooking oil is changed regularly I guess.

Been here loads and never an issue. After a nights work I decided to get a takeaway on way home. Didn’t realise they were shutting and when I ordered there was no mention till I was home and couldn’t ring as order wrong. Ordered wings and got given some cold chicken nuggets which were already in cabinet, chips were full of scraps. I would of rather the lady say they were shutting then spend money on cold food and wrong items! Don’t even know how they have ticked wings off when it’s quite clearly nuggets!!!

Myself and my partner visited for some late night food and had a great time! The service was quick and friendly, the gentleman behind the counter even gave us some free chips to snack on as we waited (and we only waited a short time). We ordered chips, battered sausage, mushy peas, chicken tikka starter, chicken madras, & pilau rice, & we loved every bit. Would definitely go here again, by far one of the best tasting and budget friendly takeaway options in the area! 🥰
