The Fish Inn in New Forest

Exceptional service as always, amazing food from the new menu. You know it’s a good pub when it was as busy as it was last night. However everything was still 5 star standard. The staff always go above and beyond

I entered and was quickly welcomed immediately with a positive atmosphere. The service was outstanding and just brilliant. I received my order within only a few minutes which was great. In addition, I have continuously bought from this chippy and never had any problems, the guys working at the tills are always friendly and ive never had a negative experience. Food and drinks are top notch and we'll made, the prices are reasonable. I've been coming here often since discovering the place. The best chippy

Quick delivery nice and hot will order again

been here a few times now always been ok but today the chips were rock hard and some felt like they had been re fried again and again. the older man who I've seen at various take away places said to the younger one not enough chips which he ignored and just gave to me. which in a way i was relieved because i threw most of them away. how can the one on st johns be so completely different in taste cooking and approach. lessons should be taken from them i wont revisit the willows again.

Excellent food & service as usual xx

The order was placed at 5.57pm and confirmed at 5.58pm. Food arrived at 7.26pm. Absolutely unacceptable for a food order.

Its the Cole Anderson Fish and Chip shops shorts location

Excellent and delicious food and kind, friendly staff who offer a very warm welcome the Fish inn is really good and offer a perfect Sunday lunch

they went past and then went back to shop then came out again.

Ordered at 6:06 tried to cancel at 7:04 to be told id be charged 100% as food was already prepared. Eventually it arrived at 7:37 an hour and half after i ordered. Customer service is shocking and your delivery is abysmal.

Order for 7.20 didn’t arrive till after 8pm

Just Eat Delivery time was a joke, appalling late, called the restaurant who were still waiting for a driver for over an hour. Restaurant food was good but waited far too long for the food…

lovely as always....hot, tasty and early.

I reviewed this several years ago. Just returned as rarely in the area. What happened!! Did someone upset the local council planners!!! The pub must be good to survive being cut off from the main road and nearly impossible to find. Anyway a great Friendly greeting by bar staff and good pint of Butcombe bitter. Good choice on the menu with superb calamari starter. The boss had fish and chips which she tells me were first class in every way. I had the lamb Kofta which was well presented and tasty. Keep it up and thanks.

Visited The Fish as a last minute thing with 10 family members for dinner. We messed them around a bit with numbers but they were more than happy to accommodate our changes. Great choice on the menu which catered for all different tastes. Steak pie was excellent and halloumi salad equally good for veggies. Service was first class (thanks Zach and Robbie), the whole experience was great from start to finish. Thanks Team Fish!

Nice friendly staff. Quick turn around. Chips are perfect. Haven't had a bad bit of fish yet. Burgers are good, and battered sausage is nice without the horrible gristly bits..

Great order apart from missing my battered halloumi which was missing. Seems they put 3 mini battered sausages in its place. Not the best replacement for a veggie. Overall nice shame about mistake

Hot, fresh & delicious. Why would you go anywhere else... PS you HAVE TO try the ribs 😋 UPDATE & the prawns 😋

Really nice food and nice variety on the the menu, very nice drinks had some very nice cocktails and the staff are very nice, perfect for a nice lunch

The only downside was the delivery driver requesting the code which we forgot and so insistant he needs it and almopst did not ive us our order. We did not think we actually needed the code as thi was the first tim we had been asked for it.

3rd time ordering from here and been really good every single time!

Restaurant is right opposite our estate yet the driver ended up the other side of town with our food and it was freezing cold on arrival.

Good food , and staff friendly, about 10 minute wait as food cooked there and then which makes the food nice and hot

Always good quality. Highly recommend. Driver was early too!

Driver was at rotary close for about 10 mins no where near my address then it came up as delivered I received none of it I'm fuming was last money I had to feed me and 2 young children. Absolutely disgraceful driver needs sacking please help us

Staying in the new forest came across this place on a weekday lunchtime.. lunch hours nearly finished but was able to order quickly and find a table or two in the dog friendly area. Staff were friendly and efficient..food was good and if the weather had been better a decent size beer garden.

We had a lovely evening here tonight. The welcome was warm and friendly. The menu had a really good choice and the food was fabulous. The service was fantastic and our visit was good value for money. Definitely worth a visit.

As always, On time, good food and very good team. Best in the area. Will not go anywhere else. Ten out of ten for these guys.

Order in plenty of time just about 30 mins late food was warm obviously been ready for quite a while before collected

No problem getting a booking for Sunday lunch the day before, which is rather telling. Good car park, pleasant interior, the waiters could have managed smile. Vegetables well cooked, potatoes slightly undercooked, meat also well cooked but sadly piled on top of the veg. 10% automatically added to the bill, but I think this has become the norm. £19.

Great food and service as usual xx

Fish was very greasy and no salt and vinegar added even tho ticked boxes

I ordered at 5.20 and when I ordered it said 25 to 40mins delivery. it actually arrived at 6.37pm.

Tasty lunch with good service and excellent real ale in a pub/restaurant with great old English atmosphere. The steak in ale pie was excellent but the chicken was overdone and underwhelming.

over 1 1/2 hrs to be delivered and then my child's chicken nuggets meal was missing, still waiting an extra 1/2 hr after my call to say its missing to get delivered and I've got a hungry grumpy 10 year old!!!! abysmal service.

Food & service excellent as usual

We live in West mersea island and we always go there to get our fish and chips, they ate so lovely and fish is freshly cooked, hardly any grease at all, the best fish and chips I have tasted. Never get them from chips shops on mersea island as to greasy and fish over cooked.

Ordered a ham ploughman's.. disappointed with the portion size.. for nearly £15.. I'd have expected more salad.. no tomato or cucumber etc.. just rocket with pickled onions.. a few slices of ham.. small wedge of cheese..gherkin and chutney.. and a wedge of bread.. I hope service charges weren't added as i wasn't asked at the time of ordering!

On time and the best fish and chips I have ever had!

Absolutely delicious meal, delivered with a smile, hot and extremely quickly. Called up to ask for some ketchup as I’d forgotten to add it to my order and it was no trouble at all…very kind! I must ask what make your vegetable pancake rolls are, they are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for a great meal x

Food was nice but ordered coke and got Diet Coke

Food was great along with the service

2 hours late and the front was cool

Very nice food quick delivery 10/10 superb

Always good. Only place to go to. Great staff. Greatl food. On time and good portions

Had a potion of chops at luch. Obviously they had mixed the chips with a stale batch some were ok others stale and cold!! Disappointing.

The food was lovely as usual but the delivery started at 40 mins but ended up 2 hrs 20mins making it 1hr 40 mins late. Very poor delivery considering how good it normally is

had a delivery about a month ago ,,that was cold and half order missing so gave a poor review ...However gave them another go today,,, and have to say ,all was good nice an hot good portion and tasty so will use them again...

great chicken and chips. perfect and nice and hot.

Lovely food & great service as usual xx

Fantastic food & service as usual

Always nice food please keep it up as the other restaurants in Colchester I must say have on down hill and are awful and disgusting but here is so nice , keep up the good work xxx

the chips and savloy were both cold on arrival

My favourite chip-shop in colchester :D

Ordered for 6.30 didn’t turn up till 7pm

arrived late cold due to just eat driver's just eat need to get a grip on driver's

the delivery was on time and the man was very polite and friendly.

Tried the ribs for the first time and they weren’t particularly appetising shall go back to the fish which is good

Chips were a bit too salty but other than that not a bad portion of fish and chips

Food was left on doorstep and deliver driver didn't knock on door

Went last night for the first time & I will definitely be going back again. Fish lovely, chips loads of & tried the ribs ( as seen on previous reviews they were a must try !) And was not disappointed at all. Service good & friendly. Thanks fish & chicken, will see you again soon.

Nice and hot. Good quality meals

Very happy brilliant as always

Excellent food & service, great as usual

only part of order arrived NO DRINK ...NO CURRY SAUCE BUT CHARGED FOR THEM....

Excellent food & service as usual

Clean and tidy. Food is tasty.

Never visited before as always thought it was a fish place 😬. Went for Mother’s Day. Booked a table for 7 and was given a round table which was perfect. Food and service was excellent. I had the turkey roast dinner with a side of cauliflower cheese. Gorgeous. Will definitely be visiting again. Can highly recommend the biscoff mini doughnuts with a nice cappuccino for dessert.

Lovely Mother’s Day meal. Friendly attentive staff and delicious food, we all had roasts that were fresh and cooked perfectly, satisfied customers!

Great food again! Tasty and nice and hot.

The expected time of delivery kept getting later and later.

food was top class definitely order from them again ten stars 👍

Always arrives piping hot, chicken burgers are delicious and chips are seasoned beautifully!

This was one of those where shall we go for lunch lunches! What a lovely pub, splendid food excellent service, lovely pint of beer and it’s Eddy the dog friendly in the bar. What more could you ask for? Chicken curry pie, wow and great fish and chips. This pub is well worth the drive out too. Download the Butcombe App and you get 25% off food.! Recommended.

We had dinner here one evening but visited for drinks on two other locations. The menu is very good and we enjoyed the blade of beef special. Food well presented and delicious. Nice old pub, a short walk across the old bridges from the centre of Ringwood or there is a car park. Good ales and a choice of two real ciders, dog friendy

Great staff and food. Always on time . Only place to go. Best chip shop in colchester

Chips were lukewarm but apart from that the rest was delicious

Popped in for a drink on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised. Good atmosphere and some good Butcombe Beer. Went early, band turned up. Unfortunately animals to sort so had to leave, but will go back. Menu looks ok

Service was great & the food was delicious, excellent as usual

Quick delivery. Nice delivery man. Food undercooked

First visit to The Fish and a Butcombe pub we weren’t disappointed. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We signed up for the loyalty scheme beforehand and had two mains with drinks for £30. The food was excellent and we will be back. The seasonal beer was very smooth but not my first choice, although two of the regular offerings of Golden Ale and IPA were “coming soon “ The side of Onion rings was more than the two of us could manage, which was a shame as they were very tasty.

Great food, great service, excellent as usual

Ordered both times here absolutely quality won’t bother with another chip shop again and will just return to this one from now on!

Another order gone wrong completely missed my quarter pound burger out 🤬🤬🤬

Delivery took 2 hours. Staff not helpful.

Lovely hot food, delivery time was adjusted slightly but nothing major. Only small complaint would be no vinegar on chips as requested. Otherwise very happy

Visited for lunch with friends. Pub was quiet but friendly. Food was pleasant, well cooked and adequate as is to be expected of a Butcombe establishment.

Not only a lovely comfy pub but the added benefit of great food .. never been disappointed. Just had delicious Sunday lunch ... perfectly cooked beef and fresh veg served with a side order of friendliness!

delivery time changed 3 times !

It's worth the 15-minute drive. Was able to get gluten-free fish and chips for my son, which he loved, and it looked really good. Friendly service, and I'm definitely going there from now on

my favourite 😍 luv ya chips and such a great selection of foods, highly recommend folks 👍 🙏 😀

Went there in why home from school on request of ny children ordered food waited and got home to find it was missing most of the food won't return

fish cut thin and flat more batter than fish also expensive. Will go back to my local chippy.

Just had half chicken and chips i must say they were both cooked to perfection chicken was juicy and the chips were perfect thankyou chicken and fish we will be back soon 👍

Excellent food & service as usual

We went to The Fish inn on Sunday 31 December 2023. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. I had a Sunday roast which was gorgeous and my husband had a burger which he says is the best burger around. Thanks to all of the staff for a lovely friendly visit and amazing food.

Best chippy in the Colchester, hands down. It was closed, or not taking orders online the other night, so I went to somewhere recommended by a friend, and when it turned up, it reminded me just how superior the food at Fish & chicken is. Definitely my "go to" chippy.

The food was excellent as usual & the delivery was great. The only problem was I didn’t get my stamp card discount & my 5 stamp cards seem to have disappeared

Best fish and chips in colchester

excellent service, superb fish & chips, lovely & hot on arrival.
