Terry's Fish & Chips in Isle of Wight

Very kindly prepared our order for pickup after our ferry crossing. Very friendly & decent food.

Ordered a delivery to my home. Fish and chips , mushy peas, Absolutely delicious!!

Lovely battered sausage and chip butties

A decent fish & chip shop, run by friendly people. The menu is reasonably extensive, although our fish and chips were okay.

Purchase fish chips and mushy peas on 12/11/2024 for my partner. When I returned home 10 minutes from purchase, the batter on the cod was extremely wet on the inside making it inedible as the fish was covered with wet soggy batter. The chips that were next to the fish were also soggy but the ones that were not were fine and the mushy peas were also ok. I dislike giving negative reviews but at almost £13 a portion I find this unacceptable, needless to say it went in the bin. I won't be going again but I advise checking your food before you leave the premises in order to return the food which unfortunately I did not.

Great food, and it was nice to find a chippy that does gluten-free

One of the best chippies on the island, never been disappointed!

Always lovely food, alway friendly, 100% recommend, i drive from eastcowes just for dinner. 👍

Lovely people, light crispy batter great size portions and even an extra sausage for the dog. Thankyou 😊

We were a group of 50+ people arriving on the island and Terry's took our order at very short notice....amazing! The food was excellent..portion sizes were very generous and the superb quality of the food was commented on by the whole group. Staff were so friendly and accomodating despite us giving them a very busy Friday night!!! Would thoroughly recommend...thanks Terry's Fish Bar team 👏

Long wait and the chips were hard and cold.

First time visiting, food was cooked to order and was delicious, will be back.

Terrible service, always have to wait for ages for below standard and very expensive food. Not the first time and I should have learnt. Much better to drive to Newport. Much more choice, much better food, much more affordable, and outstanding service.

Friendly staff, great service and the food was freshly cooked. The cod was good sized and a very generous amount of chips. Good value

Yummy fish and chips, hot and fresh to go, exactly as you would expect.

Visited whilst on holiday been before and food was excellent however today the chips were poor hard and rubbery don’t know what has happened here as they were cooked to order such a shame 🙁

Classic fish and chips—you can’t go wrong! The chips are just the right size and exactly what you want, while the fish is massive. Always a go-to when I'm on the island.

THIS is what I've just been given as 'large' chips. We are regular customers. Will not be returning. If I'd asked for extra small, this is what I would have expected to see. Beyond dissatisfied.

Excellent value for money, excellent friendly service. If we find ourselves back down this way well definitely be back. It was a pleasure meeting you x Your friendly "out of area" ambulance crew 👍🏻😎

Food nice all the time staff friendly but a stupid wait time even tho it is not that busy when I ordered 4 people were in front of me and I had to wait 30 mins just for battered saus and chips sort it out it’s ridiculous for a chippy to be waiting that long

I brought chicken nuggets and they were so hard I couldn't bite into them had to throw them away.

Best chipper on the Isle of Wight

We tried this chippy as the reviews were great, as always, I like to check a place out with good reviews. Well, the chips were great, very tasty, the gravy not so good, very watery, a spoon full of peas in a tub, not a lot, and for the price, I would definitely NOT go back, we got chips peas and gravy, chips sausage and gravy a barm and a can of coke, £16 pounds, I thought that was quite alot. Maybe just me.

Good portion sizes don’t make up for poor quality of cooking (batter an inch thick). Disappointing really as I was looking forward to it all day

Excellent fish and chips, the staff give off a vibe of people who are chippy experts and have been doing this for years, possibly from generation to generation. The screen outside showing you when your order is ready is a superb idea and it's the first time I've seen it at a chip shop. There's not a lot of space inside so it works perfectly.

I understand that I visited at a busy time but I realised after ordering just how many flies were about in the food prep area over the food boxes. It was upsetting that staff were shouting at one another and getting angry with each other and telling each other off for messing up the orders :( . the food was disappointing and very over cooked battered sausages and they forgot the bread roll I ordered and only realised when back in Newport 🤦 I didn't feel it was worth the money - I'm sorry to leave a review like this as in the past years we have loved this chippy . I just hope it was a busy eve and not a true reflection on the place but we probably won't return

Was a stressful wait, order hadn't been put through, waited 45mins. The only positive was getting a refund.

Ordered medium Cod & Chips, Large Haddock & Chips, both with S @ V. Got home and was 2 Cod @ Chips, no S & V. Cod was a thin sliver no meat at all. 🙁

Ordered a large chips and large curry sauce, both would only feed one person at a stretch, wish I would have known that and ordered more but large was the maximum size. Even then this came to 6 pounds and ruined are night trying to split this between 2. It's a shame because everything tastes good but with wait time and portion sizes as they were im afraid we will not be back. Not from woodside

Fantastic chip shop the fish is cooked to perfection and brilliant service from start to finish and if you stay at woodside you even get 10% of your order (although woodside never tell you about this!) Would highly recommend!

Delicious food every time without fail. There may be a bit of a wait but the shop is always busy and they cook all the food fresh to order. The staff are polite and friendly. The chips are really good, not greasy at all. The pies are definitely a must have, my steak pie had lots of tender steak inside that melted in your mouth. I said I was driving to Newport so he double wrapped it for me so it would stay warm. Thank you!

I used to like this place, but, sadly it is a shadow of its former self. Stressed looking staff. Long waits for even the most simplest of meals. No wonder really, half the hot counter is turned off - few years ago, plenty of food on display, you’d be in and out in 5 minutes. Now, you enter the shop, order and pay. Leave the shop, join a crowd of people standing outside in all weathers gawking at a screen for anywhere between 15 - 45 minutes while they cook your meal. The screen appeared during Covid, I get it. Anything had to be done to get through that dreadful time. That’s behind us for some time now, do yourself a favour get rid of this ridiculous screen system - run the shop like a chip shop is supposed to be run.

Found this place while on holiday will definitely go back excellent 5star

Great food . Service brill. Loved it . However we found the curry saurce very salty

Great choice on the menu, all the food was freshly cooked and tasted great. The service was really good and the ordering process worked well.

Staying with friends on the island we were recommended Terry Fish and Chips. We rang our order through and on arriving it was just about ready which was fine, the fish was very nice but expensive ,not many chips for the price they were ,and whatever you do don't order a side if you visit, we paid £1.80 for our mushy peas which came in a pot that was so small it was an insult, probably 2 teaspoon full if that and most of it was runny with very few peas. I even had to by a bag to put my order in. Very expensive chip shop to visit, wouldn't make the effort to go there again.

Food was decent but service was beyond a joke. Ignored everyone in the queue for over 40 minutes while boxing up a few other orders, didn’t even address the customers to explain the delay. Then waited a further 20 minutes for one sausage and chips. Shambles. Phone was ringing and the gentleman behind the counter constantly saying “I’m not fannying around with that”.

Brought a children's chicken nugget meal this evening and couldn't bite into the chicken and the chips tasted as if they had been cooking since the night before.

Cooled to order , nice and fresh , the chips are old school and they taste amazing

Great fish and chips tonight - had to wait whilst the last two large cod and chips were cooked fresh well worth the wait! We only have them when we stay from the mainland, well worth the annual visit. Many thanks

First time getting food from there, sausage and chips twice and kids sausage and chips. Food was excellent and the customer interaction was perfect. Thank you, you now have a new regular customer.

Soggy chips and warm they dish out chips way before they've cooked what you've ordered

I tried to get food but they ignored me and served 3 customers came in after me. I won't bother ever again. I did point out I was next in the que but The staff member still ignored me and took the other order. It's quicker to cook my own chips and they taste better, even my first try at making my own battered cod was better than most chip shops! It's really very simple.

I bought two sausage and chips from you last night and today my wife and I have been very unwell, it was the only food that we had together yesterday. The chips were great but the sausages looked like they had been under the light for a long while, in hindsight we should have discarded them. I am writing this for you to amend your procedures or retrain staff. Please acknowledge this review with a comment and I will delete this review, I don’t want to harm your business.

Staff are vile. Food is greasy and overpriced. Never ever again.

A nice treat for us after a trip to the mainland. Bit of a wait, but a popular little takeaway. Terry has left a legacy for the family to hopefully continue. Worth dropping in to, and worth the wait to eat.

Best Fish & Chips on the Island but very difficult to order when very busy, as they havnt enough pairs of hands!

Best battered sausage ever! Homemade but simple. Would highly recommened.

Amazing chippy I won't go any where else

Best fish n chips this side of the island! Freshly cooked on our visit. Excellent and really lovely chatty staff

Got a half portion of cheesey chips ans a fish cake, super cheap and incredibly tasty!

Superb fish and chips, cooked fresh, hot, good portion sizes, parking right outside would I go back? Definitely.

Not so good! We are used to very good fish and chips in Devon so this place was rather disappointing. Ordered 2 large cod and chips, one cod could just about pass as a large but the other one was much smaller and the same thickness but in this case it’s probably more appropriate to use “thinness” and wouldn’t be to far from the truth to say there was probably more skin than meat!!! What meat there was was quite tasteless. It was also quite greasy. Batter was nice and chips were very good so can’t complain about them at all. When you go in the menus are on tv screens that keep changing so quite frustrating when trying to read and it suddenly changes to another menu. We do not recommend this chippy sorry.

Freshly cooked traditional Fish and Chips with crispy batter and well cooked (rather than soggy) chips. All sered with good cheer and at a reasonable price. Took a little time to both place and collect the order but well worth the wait.

Great little chip shop, reasonably priced, lovely chips, great cheese cakes too

The service and food was great, definitely worth the 20 min wait.

I was told to stand outside after giving in my order (as it was quite busy) and they will call me when it's ready. I heard someone bang on the window and told me it was done. When I entered the shop I heard one of the workers say " god, is he deaf?) and they all laughed. The thing is, I'm deaf and blind on my right hand side from an old injury and I didn't appreciate their comment. I was raging. Grabbed my chips and left. Every time I drive past now I have the urge to go in and confront them about this. Awful behaviour.

Wow. Fantastic fish & chips. I asked for crispy chips and they were delicious. Batter on the fish was also crispy and fish perfectly cooked. Friendly staff and owner. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic and very organised fish and chip shop:, very clean and hot on food temperature , checking as each item cooked to order, would thoroughly recommend 😋

First visit and ordered cod and chips with mushy peas. The batter was very crispy. A tasty fish and chips, worth a visit and for me, a return visit next time I’m over.

Went tonight for tea, we go every week but NEVER again. Staff so rude !! From start to finish order was wrong . When they finally got it right we went home , only to find our daughter choking on her kids meal. Looking at the so called chicken nuggets, they were over cooked rock hard and dried out. I took this meal back only to be told well it’s real chicken breast , well I’m sorry it may of been but dried out and over cooked , even the batter was burnt . The staff are so rude and argumentative. Sorry you lost our custom . Stay clear and go else where .

Best chip shop on the island. Consistently good 👍👏

Unfortunately its usually a wait. HOWEVER waiting for FRESHLY COOKED food is not waisted time its An INVESTMENT in perfectly cooked food😉🤣😅 no complaints here😉

One of the things we look forward to when we come back to the Isle of Wight is a visit to Terry's. I love love love their Rock. It's so fresh & yummy.

Fish and chips delicious. Scampi tasted odd !

Very good food and good price was on hoilday with family 6 in total use twice and both time chips very good, batter very good fish very good pies very good and burgers very good very good choice of food and very friendly staff

Ordered cod and chips, scampi, pickled egg and chicken and mushroom pie curry sau e, took over an hour from ordering to receiving my food, no bag offered, not offered salt and vinegar like everyone else batter had little flavour and looked anaemic, scampi was over cooked only positive was the curry sauce was delicious other than that wouldn’t rush back

Beautiful food! It’s always busy so you do have to wait a little longer than your average chip shop, but it’s well worth the wait. The cod & chips was delicious! I highly recommend it xx

Been returning customers for a long time when on holiday. This was a poor experience compared to usual. Wait was really long considering it didn't seem overly busy. Food wasn't as good as we had come to expect. Don't know if it was a mistake, but our chicken nuggets 'kids meal', was just chicken nuggets without any chips or anything else.

Well what can I say. 10/10 from me. Hands down one of the best fish & chips I have had to date. Would come again.

Tried this place would never visit again god knows what the fish was but it didn't look or taste like the cod I ordered and the chips were full of fat and overcooked. 1 out of 10 for me very disappointed.

We ordered fish & chips, sausage & chips & scampi & chips. Very scrummy & presented in lovely boxes. Plentiful portions. Enjoyed!

Went for a takeaway fish and chips 🍟. Had two large cod and medium with two large chips and kids portion. Lovely cod pipping hot 🔥 also had a curry sauce bit of a kick 😋 great value about £9 i pay £15 where I live.

The best fish and chips I’ve had in ages. The fish isn’t dry at all and is cooked to perfection. Would 100% recommend

Very poor, the batter on the inside was like mush , Should be lovely and crispy, Very small portions for the money , I would try elsewhere for cod and chips .

Lovely fish and chips best on island

Tried Terry's fish and chip shop while on holiday in the isle of wight. Brilliant fish and chips the best I've had in ages. Not expensive either. Would definitely recommend.

Searched around while we were on the island for a proper fish and chip shop, then we found this place which was nice and close to the ferry port... So if you're looking for great fish and chips while waiting for your ferry, or are hungry... This place is idea!

Great chips and well priced. Will come back again!

After reading a review stating this was the best fish and chips we thought we'd give it a try before we headed to the ferry port , absolutely delicious and the best chips .

All the family said "this is very nice" whilst eating the food so that says it all 😋😋

Good takeaway lovley food,all fish cooked had a temperature taken to check if cooked. Well worth a visit

Good food, fair price, service a bit slow, but they were busy preparing a large order and I hadn't called ahead, so that was probably my fault.

We were big fans of Terrys but that food we have just received was nothing short of disgusting! Most of the chips weren’t peeled properly! Greasy and the cherry on top was the veggie burger was actually a deep fried spam fritter!! Vegetarians beware!

Huge portions of fish and chips, wish I didn't have lunch earlier, couldn't finish mine!

Missed my onion rings but otherwise lovely food

Fantastic and fresh! I like the fact they check the temperature of the items before packing.

If you want food past 8pm it's pointless and they say they shut at 9pm. Food is good there when you can get it. Asda it is for dinner

Good freshly cooked fish and chips and generous proportions.

Lovely food very helpful staff very clean. I would definitely recommend

Honestly the best chip shop I've visited. Clinical in their approach to good food. Everything was fresh. Worth the short drive for that sort of quality.

Good size portions, very nice 👍

Handy parking outside if you can find a space. I was a little disappointed with the long wait considering it was so quiet, although it was freshly cooked which was nice. Kids found the chips too salty, so will remember to order without next time. Had mixed success with the fish and nuggets here in the past.

If you're desperate, and have half an hour to wait to order then another 15mins wait outside,this is the chippy for you ! Horrible chips and unrecognisable cod. We saw a queue outside and thought it must be good How wrong we were! Avoid at all costs!

Perfectly cooked fish and chips. I asked for half a potion of the 'small' chips and was given just that which meant I threw no food away. Thank you.

The best fish and chips on the island

It's a chippy but the chips are nice just wish there was more and burger is okay but fish is very nice seems fresh

Great chips, but what a lot of salt was poured on the top- it rendered a lot of the portion inedible and not good for my blood pressure.

Would not accept a phone order as too busy. Did not have any medium cod, so had to have large. Did not have any chicken at all. Chips were completely soggy and undercooked. Not a great experience and would not hurry back.

6 off us had cod and chips the fish was lovely and fresh and the chips were nice and fresh to over on holiday and we always use Terry’s thanks again guys
