Top Catch Fish & Chips Shirley in Southampton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really lovely chippy. Friendly service and great food. We had £5 Cod and chips and it was more than enough. Customers and staff knew eachother by name and it felt like a proper part of the. community.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Food is amazing, resonably priced. Staff are so nice and friendly. Best fish and chips we've had for a long time.

Omg lovely food freshly cooked and lovely friendly staff. I had the lunchtime special which was such a bargin I will definitely go back again! Highly reccomend! Forgot to take a pic as was eaten quite quickly 😁

Possibly the best fish and chips I've ever had. Spotlessly clean premises. All cooked fresh, lovely fish with light and crispy batter, delicious chunky chips. And the team are friendly and professional. Hard recommend 👌

The best chips in Southampton. Every time I go elsewhere, I'm disappointed. No other place around compares in terms of quality. The food is always well-packaged, and the staff is very friendly.

Fresh fish & chips, very busy so food is good quality! Portions a bit small for the price buy tased very good so can’t complain. Will try again

I go here regularly every week & the food, service & general atmosphere doesn't change!! 100% every time. I can't fault it. Even when they are extremely busy they always greet you with a smile & the food standard is still v. high.... Well recommend for any small or large groups too as there is plenty of space inside but also outside tables when this sun is shinning!! Enjoy!

Usually I’d say this was great chip shop as the food is good, it’s always clean and tidy and I can’t fault the service.., but today I bought the lunchtime special of cod and chips for £5.. which unfortunately was basically a slice of cod a bit bigger than a fish finger with a handful of chips. No where near worth the £5 it cost and especially when you consider the chip portion given was the same size as the 99p portion they do at lunchtime too. Basically I paid £4 for fish finger sized piece of cod with a 99p portion of chip’s advertised as a £5 lunchtime deal. If I’d bought of seen it before I got home I would of definitely asked for a refund. Iv added a picture of the lunchtime £5 cod and chips next to a portion of lunchtime 99p chip portion for comparison. I like this chip shop but this by no means a good deal and more like a rip off sadly

Absolutely superb freshly cooked to order fish supper, line caught haddock was amazing. Super fresh food, great service and place is immaculately clean. Will def be back soon, highly recommend!

Great food , friendly staff , great price

the chips fish and chips with brilliant the butter scraps we're perfect the fish was cooked to my perfection my family thank you next time when we choose a fish and chips we will go to yours.

Spotlessly clean, friendly service. Excellent chips and fish cooked fresh to order in dedicated fryers so the chips taste like chips and not fishy. Thin crispy and light batter, none of the stodgy stuff here. Recyclable serving trays. Best chippy in Southampton in a long time.

Best fish and chips Staff are lovely

Ordered regular cod and chips. I felt too much oiliness in the fish but the chips were great. The strange part was they don't give ketchup with the chips and you need to pay for small quantities of ketchup. In my opinion they could provide to their customers for free if they are dining there.

Take away fish and chips at its best.

I only wish I discovered this chip shop earlier!!! Popped in to try their saver menu and it did not disappoint. Chips where were cooked to perfection. The battered sausage was deliciously succulent. My child was nodding whilst chowing down his fish cake. Portions were ample, food was cooked fresh, very clean premises and inviting. Staff are pleasant. I've been converted! This is now our local chippy!

Absolutely quality fish and great chips, just how I wanted it. Crispy, not greasy, great batter taste, chips were absolute quality. I would definitely recommend you try the fish and chips here.

Best CURRY sauce ever! Large fish n chips fed 3 of us. Definitely going back there.

Terrible chips. Clearly been sitting around and recooked so they were overcooked and dry. Disappointed.

Really impressive. Freshly cooked fish and chips and halloumi. Brilliant service. Amazing food. We’ll be back when next in Southampton. 5*

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Though there are a couple of tables to dine in, most customers were taking away or ordering online. I ate in as my B&B don't allow food in the room. Ate the meal from the cartons quite happily. Would highly recommend.

Excellent fish, meltingly fresh and friendly service.

Lovely food Really friendly staff and food is fresh and delicious every time very highly recommended

Really friendly staff. Food is delicious! Defo recommended! Prices are fairly low for the food given. Trust worthy fish and chips! Grateful for the customer service

Very expensive for the portion size. 7.40 for large chips, that was medium size at best. Fish lovely. But charging more than most restaurants that you visit for a meal.

7.40 for large chips. Way too much. Fish was nice. And chips were fine but not fantastic.

New to the area we fancied fish and chips for dinner and having driven past many times and seen good reviews thought we'd give it a try. They have a great app which lets you order online for pick-up shortly after - this worked very well - ordered, walked 5 mins there and it was ready within 5 mins. Regular cod was amply big enough and perfectly cooked, scampi was excellent and chips were perfect (not greasy) and plentiful. Probably the best fish and chip shop I've used in a long while - will definitely be back!

Great service, called seconds after placing the order to tell me that they had none of something and could they exchange or refund the missing item. Delivered a bit earlier that estimate but I was very hundry so that was no bad thing, food was fantastic. Best fish n chips I've had in a long time. Will be returning

Best fish and chips I've ever had, the fish in particular is fresh, perfectly battered and delicious.

Alright ! Typical and very good fish n chips, children's menu available.

Se cond visit week later quality excellent not a one off would recommend to anyone you won’t find better chips fat and tasty fish perfe

Well I am pleased to have stopped here. I entered a crisp clean fish & chip. Welcomed by a very vibrant owner. I placed my order - three customers in front of me, each received a cheery service. I was happy to congratulate the owner with praise. YES 10 out of 10

The best fish and chips in Shirley. Had food from here twice. Lovely light batter on fish. Yummiest chips. Good value. Recommend

Raj always provides a friendly service and food is consistently freshly cooked and of high quality. Some great lunchtime deals as well.

Absolute rip off £4.75 for about 30 chips. Do not use!!!!

Fish tasted so fresh and battetered sausage was the best I ever had. Highly recommend. Only thing i would say is the curry sauce wasn't the best which is a shame but everything else was lovely.

One of if not the best chips and sausage in hatter I have had in a long time. Reminds me of a true english style oldschool chippy taste!

Stopped by chance for a quick and easy lunch. Fish was perfectly cooked moist inside with crispy batter outside, chips were also crisp and tasty and not soggy. Service from the gentleman that also freshly cooked the order was very helpful and polite. Best fish and chips I’ve had in years. I will return. Thank you.

Ordered a Large fish, it fresh as ever, with thin crispy batter and very little oilage! Chips not as good as kings down the road though

Probably the best chippy in Shirley and lunchtime deals are worth every penny

Lovely fish and chips wasn't keen on the mushy peas

Delicious fish and chips 10/10 crispy batter and well cooked flaky fish. Well cooked chips and service with a smile. What’s not to like?

Missing 1 key ingredients. GRAVY

Fish is fresh crispy chips big boy sausage and service was good. however even though I love mushy peas, this one tasted like a fart in a cup.

Been here numerous times before, but I have to say that last night's effort was way and ahead the best fish & chips I've had in years. I'm not a massive batter fan, as my dogs know, but they were left salivating!!!!

Great large cod but the chips are a little off. Lovely people and great chippy. Very clean.

Good quality fish and prepared with care

One item was missing it was a fish price £10.00

Must be busy as they forgot items of my ordered and had to pay again my first order was £50 +

Best fish in town everyone very happy

Literally 10 out of 10! First time ordering and the staff (scouse lady) and the other lad who were talking about how to make welsh cakes were very friendly and gave superb service. Nice atmosphere and you can tell the staff really enjoy being themselves. Portions were super large, in fact we had enough for our dinner the next day and the fishcake was the size of 3 standard ones you'd find anywhere else. Was very fresh, hot, tasty and reasonably priced! Would definitely come back again 👍

Great food cooked fresh to order . Friendly staff & shop was spotless ! Well done too catch *****

I have tried the entire menu and i have only good things to say about Top Catch! The fish & chips they serve are perfection, i cant recommend this place enough!

Fantastic fish and chips and great service, the curry sauce is 👌👌👌👌

Always good food and great service!! Highly recommended!

Don’t need many words to explain this place Iv had fish and chips many places and know where comes close to this place it’s fantastic super crunchy chips and home made fish cakes that’s out of this world. 40mins for me to get here from home and I will make that journey any time I want fish and chips

Amazing little place. Friendly staff, really good food. The best fish and chips in Southampton

Best fish and chips we have had in Southampton in the 8 years we have lived here! Wished I’d got names … the lovely girl from Liverpool was so warm and friendly (never stop being friendly lol) taking our order, she made us feel really welcome. The young guy from Wales can cook a mean fish and chips, they were delish! We shall be back 100% and already told our friend when we saw them how good they were ☺️ Was a little cold sat eating in the shop, but that’s fine, it is more just a take away shop. Really lovely surprise - thanks for yummy food!

Me and my son say this is the best fish and we have ever had👍🏻. The service was incredible as well. The fish was crispy and the lemon added a great touch 😃

Seriously the best fish and chips I have EVER had in my life. Came at end of their day. 10 minute wait. Everything cooked fresh. Had mini cod and chips for a fiver. Excellent value. Partner had battered sausage, chips and curry sauce. Batter was incredibly crispy. You must visit.

Great food well cooked, but a rude scouse member of staff means I not going back. Plenty more fish and chips in Shirley.

Came here with my family after a trip to west quay last week and the guy there was superb. My wife wanted fish but not the whole piece so done a nice small portion with her chips. My son loved it and the guy behind the counter was genuinely the most helpful server we've had in years. Will definitely be popping back next time we are there 😁

Completely wrong order and had it with just eat. I'll be using my kitchen from now on this is all garbage! Do yourself a favour and eat some organic real food.

Freshly cooked and the best in the area

Staff here is really rude, I only asked how long will it take. And she’s like ‘it’ll be ready in 2min if you want to leave it I’ll refund. I mean just calm down lady. You’re losing customers. Never gonna come again and I wouldn’t recommend anyone

Really friendly service and the portions are huge!

Yummy scrummy fish and chips! Gorgeous light batter and perfectly cooked chips

First time trying tonight. Very good will be returning.

The best fish and chips in Southampton - light crispy batter on the fish, beautiful home-made fish cakes and crispy chips. All served with a side of friendly conversation. :-D

Awsome chips cooked just right so they are crispy instead of soggy. Fish batter was nice and crisp too. Very good fish and chips.

Perfect chippy, could not recommend more. Realistic pricing, clean shop, great fish and the best crispy chips.

Extremely tasty fish, chips and mushy peas. Very friendly man from Wales who clearly knows how to batter a fish! Top notch.

My favourite fish and chip shop, you get what you pay for and this is top quality. Food is made to order and not sitting under heat lamps there's providence from where the fish are caught to the farm the potatoes are grown. Owner is passionate about what he does, always great customer service. Must try!

Can't recommend high enough, lovely warm welcome when entering and great food. Battered Sausage, n chips, with curry sauce for lunchtime meal deal. Can't go wrong! Definitely coming back when in the area again

The bag that the food was packed in had opened up on the bottom when the delivery guy arrived, so that was sort of awkward. But overall food was delicious!

Cooked fresh friendly staff and very clean x

Perfect fish and chips! Delivered quickly too! Will definitely use again

Delicious fish and chips. Battered cod especially nice and crisp. Would recommend phoning order ahead to avoid queue.

Some off the chips was bad normally they really nice

I orded curry sauce to come with my food and received mushy peas, I also ordered regular coke and received diet.

Food ok, however piece of cod missing. Got a refund, but it's not the point.

Delicious, very generous portions, we really enjoyed the Fish and Chips and Pea Roll. Arrived fresh cooked, on time. Recommended!!

On time, good quality, exactly as ordered.... you see McDonalds, it is possible.....

Been in a couple times since Xmas, very high quality fish and chips, They use quality batter mix, chips are crispy as well! highly recommended There are tables and chairs, can eat in there,

We ordered 2 haddock, thinly battered and well cooked with one portion of chips and 2 gherkins. Fish was nice and fresh with a crisp batter. Chips were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Having been cooked to order both fish and chips were hot. Gherkins were large and tasty. We felt very lucky to have found this chippy and thoroughly enjoyed our meal in our hotel room.

This used to be my favourite fish and chips but tonight’s purchase was absolutely horrible. The chips were really old and the fish was so small I had to look twice. This is a real shame as I won’t be buying here anymore:)

Dirty cold cod cooked in old oil that tasted like it hasn't been changed for months, extremely greasy and tasted disgusting, the chips were hours old and been kept in the warming tray for far to long, looked like a portion of old batter bits rather than a portion of nice fluffy chips, the tartar sauce had a sour taste to it so god only knows how long that had been kept for. This was my first time trying this place as new to the area, and definitely the last time, I will be buying any food from them again. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED. Couldn't eat the meal and ended up putting it in the bin.

Clean, fresh and they tell you about the source of the potatoes (and maybe the fish too!) Non-plastic packaging, great tasting, well cooked food!

Mouthwatering taste chips were just right and cod was full of flavour, friendly staff and customer service is second to none. Would highly recommend you try this place.

I have been coming to Top Catch Shirley and the earlier shop in Soton for 3 years. The service is great. The staff are great and always friendly. And my preference is Haddock. Locally sourced potatoes and ethically caught fish. Always consistent in quality. All round great fish and chips

Came here on the off chance tonight as have passed and was in the area and gave it a try, the best fish and chips I have had for a very long time 10/10 and would definitely come back again!

Lunchtime deals are great the food is always cooked right

Well cooked fish, just like how it should be!

Disappointing, order wasn’t complete, I should have checked before leaving. First visit unlikely to visit again. First impression count I’m afraid. Could understand if it was busy, only me and another customer being served. More attention is required!

We loved it! Reasonably priced food. Few selection of fish and vegetarian options. Staffs were friendly and helpful.

I always struggled to find a local chippies that are consistent in quality food! Top Catch nailed it in that category. I am always greeted by friendly staff and welcoming at the Shirley branch. I don't even bother looking elsewhere and would always come here when I crave for some fish and chips! Not only that, they cook their fish, chips and sausages in separate fryers. So both the fish and chips are always fresh, crispy and tasty! Highly recommended for anyone who fancies some fish and chips!

We love going here, the food is delicious and we always are served by friendly staff. The quality of the chips is outstanding, something that most other chippies don't seem to care about. The price is very reasonable too, I would definitely recommend.

Absolutely the best fish and chips around. Fish was perfectly cooked with a crispy batter. The chips were fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, they had run out of pea fritters but called to tell me and let me choose a replacement item, cannot fault the service or food from this place. Won't be going anywhere else from now on.

Lovely staff and lovely food will definitely be returning here. It would be nice if they offered gravy though. Love chips and gravy

Excellent, got a decent offering and great tasting fish and chips, but more importantly friendly happy staff who smile
