Stotesburys Fish And Chips in Isle of Wight

Haven't been here for years and had forgotten how good it was. In our opinion the best fish and chips around at the moment. Friendly service, freshly cooked large portions at a sensible price. Plenty of choice of extras if fish is not your thing. Only downside is the limited parking spaces on the road. One little oddity, in this day and age, they only take cash.

Lovely staff and also let me off a couple of coins for food

Looking for outstanding fish and chips that can be made gluten-free? Served by friendly, professional staff at a fair price? Look no further than Stotesbury's Fish and Chips! The quality of the food is exceptional, and it's a treat to enjoy delicious fish and chips after a long time. Be mindful of the generous portion sizes, though—they’re huge! Avoid overordering like I did and enjoy a fantastic meal.

Im a tourist and im staying in Newport for a few months and i was looking for a decent chip shop and This is by far the best one ever the food is absolutely brilliant and definitely worth the money very reasonable prices and the staff are ever so lovely and welcoming and I'll definitely be coming here again so if your visiting or new living in Newport definitely buy the food from here you won't be disappointed at all.

Great gluten free fish and chips, massive portions and every thing was totally amazing, service was brilliant and our dietary needs were catered for really well. The fish was delicious, chips amazing and all gluten free. My partner and I have a new favourite take away thanks!

Good customer service, quick and really nice food!

Have lived on the island just over 3 years and can't believe today was the first time we have got food from here. The battery lovely and crisp and portion you so good. The staff were totally lovely xx

People are lovely. A must try. Fish and chips in town.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Stotesburys Fish and Chip Shop is hands-down the best spot for fish and chips around! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with the friendliest service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The fish is always cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. Paired with their perfectly seasoned, golden chips, it’s a meal to savor! They have a great selection of sauces and sides, all fresh and delicious. The portions are generous and fantastic value for money. If you’re looking for an authentic, satisfying fish and chips experience, Stotesburys is the place to be. Highly recommend!

It is a tradition of ours to get fish & chips here on our first night when we come to visit family on IoW. They do the BEST chips on the island and there are so many options for sides, even good veggie options! The food is cooked fresh so there is a bit of a wait but it's always piping hot and well worth waiting for. Last time we were given free pickles to snack on while we waited too :) If you visit towards the end of the night, sometimes there are some freebies going that have been cooked and kept warm but won't be sold, definitely worth asking for! All in all great value place and we will be back every time we visit the island :)

Absolutely wonderful chippy, saved me being hungry after they were cash only. Wonderful business

Great place/plaice! The homemade garlic sauce is not to be missed. If you’re on holiday like we were, stop on by!

Don’t just don’t go anywhere else. Fresh cooked to order with quality ingredients. Great portion sizes and friendly staff. Just have patience whilst it’s cooking and you will end up with a top top top fish and chip meal. I guess that’s why they have been serving for over 125 years !!!!

Freshly made, friendly staff. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely lovely Fish ‘n Chips again ! Had Huss ( Rock ), the only place on the Island now to cook Huss ? Chips lovely cooked to perfection - no soggy, uncooked batter. 👍.

Very good portions Lovely chips Well priced Probably the best fish n chip shop on the island, I haven’t had batter/better

I find the fish is grate but the chips aren't so great

amazing food. really good service. would suggest!!

Wow we visited here on a holiday to the isle after reading the great reviews. Seriously no one is exaggerating, the portions are huge and so yummy. We throughly enjoyed our meal, would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great takeaway 😊

Best staff serving the islands best chips! (And savaloys!) staff are friendly and always a good vibe! Defo worth a visit :-)

Amazing fish and chips, exceptional quality. Haddock and the homemade tartare sauce are highly recommended. Staff very friendly. Made freshly to order so be prepared for a short wait but absolutely worthwhile.

Great customer service and food was fantastic and was cooked quite quick

The service from the staff was brilliant, it was really nice to have interaction with the staff, they made us aware of the wait times, and the food was brilliant, absolutely stuffed now 😅 Have been to Stotesburys many times before, and will definitely continue to go here for a great chippy. It may appear pricey, but I think it definitely reflects in the quality!

Great chip shop. Good portion sizes and good selection on the menu. Staff were friendly and food was delicious. Would reccomend. Cash only. Cod bites were lovely (pictured)

Excellent gluten free selection. Tried the curry sauce fantastic. Thank you for making the effort to cater for coeliac. Service isn't super quick but tit is all cooked to order so fresh and tasty..

Reasonable chip shop bit pricey.

Best chip shop on the island. Always friendly and kind.

Lovely food, people and service

This is now my go to chippy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They do an amazing selection of gluten free food, which are all super tasty! Yes, you need to order in advance as they use separate grills and your food is made fresh to order, if you want quick, cheap crap, go elsewhere! This is worth the wait! The staff are always super friendly and hard working! I had an issue with my Uber Eats delivery not turning up at all, so they cooked me another order without hesitation, and really looked after me! I have seen previous poor reviews about deliveries being prioritised over walk ins, I believe this is just someone bitter, I have seen them start to prep every order as soon as it arrives, they will then hand orders to the driver when they arrive as they turn up at the correct times! As stated above, order ahead, it isn't difficult. Fab food, fab service, definitely recommend!! Thank you.

Amazing gluten free, super friendly service, would definitely go back

Great food, order a large cod and large chips for an eating challenge!

Without a doubt the best fish and chip shop ever. Amazing staff, amazing yummy food and they couldn't be better with my children when we visit.

Came in 10 minutes before they shut and so kindly and quickly able to freshly prepare some food they were out of. Always so delightful when we come in and tonight they went the extra mile. Thank you

This has to be the best fish and chip shop outside of Scarborough! It’s all cooked to perfection and the portion sizes are huge! Excellent value for money everything is just perfect their mushy peas and curry sauce are fabulous the fish is always fresh flakey and delicious and what is more it’s run by really nice people too. So if you want quality fish and chips, Stotesburys is the place to go no pun intended.

This is truly the best fish and chips on the island, We came for a day trip and stopped here before getting the ferry home. The ladies were so lovley and patient with my girls and even did a special order for my little girl which she was over the moon with. It was a little wait but we had a big order so totally understandable, but when here there was people coming and going all the time, which tells me , I'm not the only one that thinks it's great. When we got our food it was lovley and fresh with a beautiful crispy batter. When we revisit the island again this will be a deffo stop off. Thank you again ladies

Absolutely amazing food I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The staff is super friendly and always make you feel so welcome. The atmosphere is great. The chips are amazing always crispt and fluffy just the way you would like them. Would highly recommend if you love fish and chips. Bear in mind there is always a wait but you won’t be disappointed it will be worth it. It’s not fast food it’s all cooked from fresh as requested so you need to be prepared to wait. But as I said definitely worth it. X

Absolutely terrible - do not believe the hype. We waited outside the shop for 50 minutes for our order to be prepared. Whilst this was happening it was clear that delivery orders were being prioritised over walk-in orders. The women working in the shop appeared totally overwhelmed. The food when it came was nothing short of vile. The chips were as dry as cardboard, some had scorch marks so had obviously been left on a warmer or something as freshly fried chips do not get brown scorch marks on them. The battered sausage was horrible, thick spongy batter with a poor quality sausage inside. The curry sauce was inedible. Really disgusting, like no other chip shop curry sauce you’ve ever had in your life! Vinegary fruity red brown slop. Yuck. Not worth the wait, not worth the money and not worth the tummy ache this morning. Avoid!!!!

Really regretted going here as ended up waiting 45 minutes in the shop for a small order. No apology, no "thank you for waiting". I know they are busy but everywhere else seems to manage it. Their system is mind numbingly slow. People were waiting close to an hour just for a portion of chips!

We visited during a trip to see our grandparents and it did not disappoint! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Portions were also generous. We even sampled an onion bhaji that they were thinking of adding to the menu...it was fantastic and I would definitely return to have it again! I would highly recommend.

We visited on a busy Friday so expected a little wait, however nearly an hour for 2 portions of fish and chips is excessive. Whilst the fish itself was great, big white flakes of cod - the batter is very soft and soggy. Chips were okay but no salt or vinegar on them even though we asked. I can only imagine we caught them on an off day as if this was the standard all week the place would be empty.

Firstly, chips were REALLY dry and tasteless. Practically hollow on the inside and way to crispy and me personally I love crispy things but this was something else ( disgusting ). The fish was ok but flavourless and the batter was too soggy. Portion sizes are not accurate I ordered regular chips and got a kilo of chips which were as I mentioned terrible. Moreover there are no seating, we were planning to eat dinner there after a long day but we stood there for 30 mins waiting. It’s cash only which seems odd as it’s 2024. This was definitely the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. I’m not impressed.😔

I absolutely love Stotesbury's - they are my go too. I have Celiacs disease and can very rarely have fish and chips due to the fryers, but at Stotesbury's, they have countless gluten free options and have separate fryers for these items. So I can eat their safely. Its a dream. Plus, they arguably have the best chips around 😍

The chips were really bad and dry and were like hollow on the inside. PORTION SIZES ARE HUGE. People who came in after us got served first. Also there is no seating. But staff were nice.

Only chippy I'll go to, Danny and the team are a great laugh plus the BEST!! gluten free chicken nuggets Ive ever had

I love coming here, only chip shop me and my son go to. Wonderful food and excellence customer services! Always so friendly and chatty. Wonderful portion sizes not greasy food either.

Very good. Can have a queue for a good reason. If you are on holiday and don't want to wait a few minutes, you are missing out

Some of the best chips we’ve had and the staff were friendly. All the food was cooked fresh. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for takeaway.

Food was ok, was let down by the service in the shop. Was told it would be 20/25 minutes, food eventually took 55 minutes. Orders placed after mine were being put in front of ours and when I asked why I was rudely told “I can only fit 4 portions of chips in the fryer at a time” which didn’t explain why

We visited the chip shop after seeing excellent reviews and it did not disappoint. The queue outside and delicious smell was a telling sign that it was a good choice. We hadn’t clocked that it was cash only so we had to adjust our order to the cash that we had. However, this wasn’t a problem as the portions were generous and avoided us over ordering. The staff were helpful and friendly, letting us know there would be a wait, but this was to be expected on a Friday evening. The food was hot and tasty, with the chips being the star of the show! The cod was also yummy, but the chips were so light and crisp! I would definitely come back again when visiting the island.

What a find!! Friendly service, cooked fresh to order food and in my opinion the best chips I have ever eaten! This is not my local “chippy” but from now on I will make the drive over as it’s definitely worth it.

Me and my family travelled from London to Isle of Wight. We were in Sandstone Beech and wanted some fish and chips but wanted to find a place that fries fish separate to sausage and meat (halal) I called this place who confirmed they do fry separately and I drove down 30 mins. When I was around the corner I placed my order on the phone and was surprised to hear it will take at least 30 mins and it was cash only but none the less I ordered. When I arrived I was waiting more than my collection time and the food itself was a let down and overpriced. £55 for 2 large chips, 2 mushy peas, 3 regular fish and one large fish? And in 2024 cash only? The fish was not all white and my zawj was put off. Let down. Harry Ramsden is miles ahead as is my local chippy

Really friendly staff, great food, would highly recommend to visitors and locals alike. I can see why it has lasted over 100 years.

worst fish and chips I’ve ever had

Waited 40 minutes for food. I ordered was four th in the queue. Every one got served even people after us. We only ordered sausage and chips twice. People after us ordered fish. But still got served before us. We will not go back will make the extra journey and go to another best known fish and chip shop in Newport better service and food. You had 4 members of staff on and was still slow . Also why do you not except cards, now adays it seems unusual.

Great food and very friendly staff. All the food is cooked fresh so you need to be patient. The food was prepared like the traditional fish and chip shop, which is good to see me Thanks for a great meal.

Very friendly staff. Food is fresh and always cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend! Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely amazing food! I’m coeliac and struggle to find gluten free fish and chips, and this place did not let me down! They have separate fryers, gf vinegar and a wide selection of food. Amazing customer service too. Would definitely recommend for coeliacs.

We’ve ordered many times before and every time we’ve never had an issue. Food is very fresh and tasty and there is always plenty to go round . Great value for money and they also have vegan options too .

Gluten free fish and chips were wonderful.lovely crispy batter on the fish and good chips. The tartare sauce was wonderful. Loads of other choices for gluten free on the menu. Great for ceoliacs like me. Can't wait to try the scampi next. Staff were all very knowledgeable about gluten free and so friendly. Will definitely be back.

Superb service & food gluten free brilliantly catered for highly recommended 5 🌟

Chips dry no taste almost like they are warmed up.

Wow, 8.15pm on a Sunday and despite them being there 12 hours I was welcomed by very friendly staff. The food was fabulous too. Well done ladies 😊👏

Even when you pre order your food it is never on time, priority is given to uber eats and deliveroo etc. The curry sauce has gone downhill as it’s too watered down with no bits in.

I'm visiting here and this fish and chips is the worst I've ever had 😣😣😣

Need to update opening times. Came here just at 13:10 and its closed.

Clean, shop Good food and great customer service Thank you

Went to stotesburys with the missis for dinner tonight as we do often and as normal we had nuggets scampi chips curry sauce garlic mayo tartar sauce and jalapeño bites and as per normal perfectly cooked and delicious every time you won't beat it anywhere else guaranteed there the best I wouldn't go anywhere else the staff are friendly and also very chatty and a good laugh so makes time go quicker wislt waiting for your banging lunch or dinner if you dont try them your missing out 100%

Food came pretty much cold, the chips were hard, they missed items off our order, nothing had labels on so we couldn't tell what it was, and it took them far too long to deliver. Absolute waste of money I won't be using Stotesburys again

Service very slow and chips virtually inedible. They had clearly been reheated, I suspect from the lunchtime period. Sausage was okay. This use to be the best chip shop on the island but not anymore. I won’t be returning

Best Fish and chips on the island! Consistantly good. Recomended.

The whole process of ordering fish and chips has gone up a step with this establishment. Not only was the food delicious fresh and well priced but their service was above and beyond when I forgot to order chips. Give this establishment a try they deserve your business.

Phenomenal fish and chips. Wouldn't go anywhere else!!! Just be aware it's cash only if you go in person ;⁠-⁠) Honestly, go here. The staff are great with gluten free!!

Popped in just before closing and the service was amazing and quick. The best chips and even ended up with a couple of freebies! Can't fault them at all, will absolutely be returning.

Wait wasn’t too long, however, the meal itself was a disappointment. The fish meat, was nice, but the batter was very soggy and thin. But the worst part were the chips. They were cold, extremely crispy, and when you snapped them open, they were hollow. Shame, as reviews didn’t reflect our experience.

Was served by a lovely lady named Nicki. Food was amazing and the portion size was huge for the price! We forgot tomato sauce Nicki was so kind and gave us some for free.

I came in just before closing and the boss and the staff were just so welcoming and polite. Thank you for being so helpful & generous. Best chippy on the island and I couldn’t recommend enough.

Amazing food amazing service especially the two ladies on tonight!! GF chicken nuggets where amazing ! Definitely have them again with the GF curry sauce ;)

The most amazing gluten free selection! The staff in there are so nice and the food tastes amazing. It is so rare to be able to have a GF option, let alone have it taste SO good. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

Very good taste in food Cod was very fresh and big portions, they only let down he forgot to put our curry sauce in

Amazing food, very friendly and most importantly very knowledgable about gluten free and so many options, myself and my daughter were in heaven

Fabulous staff members. Thank you to Nicky and Ann for fitting an order in for myself and child at the very last minute. We can't wait to come back. Very welcoming

Found this place by good fortune while on holiday on IOW over Easter. The lovely ladies who served us were very friendly and let us sample the gorgeous garlic mayo dipping sauce made on site. Good old standards for good old traditional British cuisine.

"Fantastic fish and chips! The batter was crispy and golden, and the fish was flaky and fresh. Generous portions too! Definitely my go-to spot for a satisfying takeaway."

The staffs are very friendly!10 on 10 for fish and chips!Try it with their homemade tartar sauce and u will definitely love it!

Lovely owner , great food and massive portions!

Best bit of fish I've had no place like it round Norfolk

We’ve used this place a few times and it’s top quality every time. Definitely our trusted place to go and great staff! - Tom

Place a large order a few days before and was ready to pick up on time, the food was delicious and offered gluten free as well! Staff very friendly and accommodating - would highly recommend

I waited 1 hour for my food after ordering on a Friday night why doesn't one person serve walk-ins and another serve phone orders staff are lovely

Excellent fish & chips, huge portion & great value! A single large chips could easily feed 3, great tartare sauce as well.

The food is lovely, staff are extremely polite and although very busy they are very patient. Would highly recommend …..

It’s so long since my daughter and have had fish and chips due to gluten and dairy intolerances. Rang the shop and was advised of all our options, they even had gf vinegar. I was nearby and I was told that I would only have to wait a few minutes. Friendly staff and knowledgeable. Absolutely delicious would definitely recommend.

fantastic for coeliacs / gluten free (dedicated gf fryer) very friendly and knowledgable chap, gave us delicious tartare sauce, all sauces gf too. children super happy, particularly my coeliac daughter, well worth the detour. cash only.

The staff are always lovely and the portions are really good. My favourite chippy to go to with my kids and partner ❤️ Thank you

Amazing food, friendly, polite staff. Will defo be back. The tartare sauce is to die for. Highly recommend it. So much better under new management

Good food, good value, good service, good range of gluten free options.

I so wish I was a local, visited whilst we were on holiday and had the most delicious fish and chips. And really reasonable on the family deal. Amazing thank you!

Amazing friendly service I can’t wait to try the food- great menu and variety! Open at a good time and quick service- thank you

Absolutely amazing fish and chip shop! Would 100% recommend! You definitely get your moneys worth with their portion sizes and the quality of food is insane, especially the gluten free food! They have a wide range of gluten free options including fish cakes! Cannot wait...

Quite a large order for a birthday party and GF so called ahead. Arrived there and was greeted by the most lovely service by 2 ladies. We arrived a little early so we waited inside. While in there we could see the GF menu was...
