Wright on the Beach in Purbeck - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Chips are poorly made and are served in very little portions without lids to the box and lots of paper is wasted wrapping it like an Egyptian mummy. The dishonest employees scammed me by charging me a different price than was advertised on the wall. One of the people who was taking my order saw a ten pound note in my hand and the price was increased and I lost over a pound which I was expecting to live off for the next week (okay maybe a bit exagerrated). My order took way longer than it should have. I'm surprised at this shocking service and I'm sure a tortise could have died of old age in the time it took for my order to get delivered. The menu on the wall (you know, the one that lies to you) is very misleading and isn't very clear on what you're ordering. I recommend avoiding this place because it is the worst fish and chip shop I've been to.

Beautiful cod and chips, staff friendly and helpful! Went twice during our 1 week holiday. Excellent worth waiting a year for. Highly recommended!

Sometimes this place is good, other times it's pretty poor. We live locally and come often, but last nights experience was well below par, so disappointing, especially as it's not a cheap option these days. The cod was cooked to order, batter cooked through but, and I don't know how this can happen, just tasteless. The chips were so overcooked we left well over half - it was just loads of the little bits that had been flash fried again. I would have taken it back but we'd gone to a bar that allows you to bring food and I really couldn't be bothered with the walk back. The lesson here is to look at what other people have and see if the chips for instance are any good.

Lovely restaurant great food (we had the scampi) reasonably priced and very friendly staff. A must go to restaurant. And you can just get a pint here if you want

Had takeaway fish and chips here. They were OK but not as crispy as I'd like and had no flavour despite having salt and vinegar. Is the vinegar watered down as none of us could smell or taste anything on them. Also was told no when asked for a plastic cup to drink from as my daughter doesn't like drinking from cans. They had them, just for the draught beer only. Sad service really.

Absolutely spot on chips and fish. Fresh and hot. My favourite place to go, ld rather walk further and make sure l get it from Wrights...

Crispy golden chips , perfectly cooked cod , friendly staff . Best fish& chips I have ever had . Honestly amaaazzing 👍👍👍👍 Best fish and chips In Swanage by far .

The best chips on the beach. Fabulous and tast. We’ve been going for years and they never fail to serve perfect chips. We love them

A lovely fish & chips for tea Dairy free batter ☑️ A nice seating area outside on the beach , I can imagine on a summers evening this is very popular

Amazing fish and chips! We got 2 haddock and a large chips to go between the 3 of us, portions are massive! Everything cooked to order which was great, and the staff were super friendly! It was so good we went back the next night!

Looked ok and chips were good but cod tasteless and batter under cooked soggy and greasy / would not return - can see why people only ordering chips plus expensive so not good value

Lovely fish & chips, generous portion and not greasy, a lovely beach location to enjoy your emal, staff were great.

Cycled from the Isle of Wight to Swanage for Fish and Chips. Looked at reviews for chip shops beforehand and chose Wright on the beach due to excellent reviews and location. The food is cooked to order and when it arrived it was hot and an excellent portion and was one of the best Fish and Chips I've ever tasted!!! So if you find yourself in Swanage looking for Fish and Chips look no further

Lovely spot as name suggests wright on the beach benches outside all food cooked 2 order so bit of wait but was fresh hot generous portions&tasty we had cod bites they were huge!

What a fabulous Fish and Chip shop this is! The cod and chips were probably the best we have ever tasted. The friendly service was first class and the location overlooking Swanage Bay was perfect! We were on holiday and took our friends who live in Wareham out for a meal there. They also loved it! And if the locals love it , it's got to be good!

Very good, 2 regular cod and shared chips. Very tasty ,good batter,crispy chips.cooked to order. I have no hesitation in recommending

Delicious cod and chips with curry sauce. Cooked to order and was the nicest batter I’ve ever eaten. Sat on tables outside overlooking a sunny Swanage beach.

Travelled from Beer for a date day out and was going to eat at another chippy - however due to a power cut they were not open! Bought some bits in a local shop and they recommended here! Boy are we glad they did. The food was cooked to order - both of us ordered large cod with just one portion of chips - good job they didn’t have large and we went for the regular - the lovely gentleman behind the counter asked if we’d like him to split the chips between the two which we did. The portion was BIG! The fish was fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked with not too much batter and the hand cut chips were crunchy and fluffy - perfect! The sun shone and we sat at the tables outside and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back again!!

Fresh cooked hot and tasty chips and excellent service. Also well priced for a cafe close to the beach. Very enjoyable lunch.

Found this chip shop online before going to Swanage and was really impressed. Food is cooked to order, hot, fresh and tasty. Chips are crunchy and fish was huge, even though only a regular cod. The chef asked if we wanted our large chips separated into 2 portions, which was ideal. He pointed out places to sit, as although there were tables outside, it was rather windy and cold. Our first fish and chips this year and these will be hard to live up to.

very good fish and chips. Good deal on two small fish and portion of tripsd only £10.00. Weather was king to us so eat on the beach can't beat good fish and chips on the beach.

Ordered x2 hake and chips and a cod and chips. X2 pea fritters and a battered pie to start. All cooked fresh infront of you. Got all home and chips were still crispy and perfect. Flavourful and fresh all the way through. And yes if...

Regular cod £6,50, had x2 with partner ,x1 small chips to share, fish was lovely , plenty big enough around 8", batter crispy, , chips very good. No complaints ! had a table outside, be wary of seagulls, we ate under the wrappings! With x2...

All good apart from the batter with was very thick and hard. Fish inside was nice though but neither of us ate any of the batter. Probably more healthy for us like that! Quick, polite service and a great location were the highlights.

This fish & chip shop does more types of fish than Cod & Haddock on a regular basis. I think they stocked Hake and one or two other types of fish as well. They also do Pineapple Fritters for those who like something sweet. Their...

Fish was ok but the chips were not good at all. Barely any resembled a chip, they were more like fried scraps of potato/bits of batter. Definitely won't be back

I Loved my battered sausages from here. The chips were also really good. Thank you and bless you all xxxx

I've eaten a lot of fish and chips in my time, but these were out of this world. The fish was fresh and crispy, cooked to order, and the hand-cut chips were lovely, neither soggy nor underdone. We ate on the beach, guarding our dinner...

Found Wright on the Beach almost by accident and had a delicious lunch on the beachfront. Bit of a queue but worth a short wait for their beautifully cooked, large portions of fresh fish. Staff were chatty and friendly as they took our order and...

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time my nieces tucked in to them, the regular cod was massive and the chips were amazing we will be back on our next holiday 😀

Stopped off for some fish and chips on the beach front, the service was fast and tasted delicious! I’m not normally keen on fish but loved theirs!

Everywhere was packed. Queues of ten or twenty down the street. Except Wright on the Beach. Potentially worth the twenty minute journey to get there. Historically I have been for a quick sea front supper, and it is usually a decent, if not incredible, meal...

There are too many fish and chip shops, especially on sea fronts, who cut corners and use frozen chips rather than the far superior hand cut version. As far as I'm concerned, if they're cooking frozen chips, then they're not a proper fish and chip...

Another fantastic takeaway staff always friendly the fish was beautiful and tasted fresh 10* everyone enjoyed there meal, we will be back.

Fantastic takeaway fish & chips. Large piece of thick cod even though it was "regular" size. Staff friendly. Would highly recommend.

My family and I had a lovely fish and chip supper on our arrival to Swanage. Based on the main beach strip, which is pedestrianised, it's the perfect location for enjoying your meal. Food is fresh and service is great, I can understand why the...

Really, really good fish & chips! Crispy batter, tender fish and nicely-cooked chips, Nice staff, too - the lad “rated” my Blues top!

We were really looking FWD to our fish and chips , just to say the chips were nicely cooked but very greasy as well as the cods batter they were very thick and greasy and the fish were watery and mushy rather than chunks of...

Fantastic fish and chips. Skinless cod and a helluva lump, beautiful chips. Great service and very well organised. All the usual chippy favourites .

The family had the tastiest fish and chips here.The fish was plump and the batter just right.And sitting on the seafront made it all the better!

Freshly cooked fish and chips, friendly service and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy along the beach.

Fancied fish and chips as we were walking along the sea front in Swanage and came upon this takeaway. Ordered Cod and chips and jumbo sausage in batter and chips and a small bottle of water. This came to £13.80, £1.50 of which was for...

For years we've bought fish and chips from 'greasy square' but tried Wright on the Beach on a summer 2020 visit because we were trying to avoid town. The quality of the fish -both cod and haddock - is excellent so we've been back a...

Walked from Bournemouth to Swanage and back via the coast path, so was hungry when I arrived, very large piece of cod and very tasty, cooked to order. Chips were not quite as plentiful, but certainly adequate.

We ordered fish, chips and mushy peas and really enjoyed it. Freshly cooked to order. Great location too, right opposite Swanage beach.

Ordered cod bits and chips a battered sausage and 2 pea bombs love the name! It came to about 12quid the staff where really friendly and the food was cooked infront of us came piping hot. Sadly we couldn't eat it all as we got...

if im at the seaside at lunchtime, then it has to be fish and Chips for lunch.Generally though, ive found the standards to be about average at sea front chippys,with the propriotors relying on a captive audience more than reputation.Not this place though.It was clear...

I think you must eat fish and chips when at the seaside and this place serves up tasty cod in light and crispy batter. The chips are pretty good too.

Visited Swanage recently and wanted good quality fish and chips one evening, spent some time doing research and decided to try “Wright on the Beach” . What a lovely surprise when we sat on the beach to eat the fish and chips as they they...

Had our lunch here on a day out in Swanage, great food, excellent service and in a great location .... would recommend.

Ordered 2 cod and chips takeaways, one was quite good, the over more batter than fish, being local have tried all the fish and chip shops locally, and must say there standards have dropped, it's pot luck when you order!!

Lovely chips and crispy batter on fresh white cod. Would recommend this place at this time as it not that busy and so fresh

lovely chips and large portions and staff are polite, there maybe a wait as everything is cooked to order great location.

We are locals and the se e are the best chips in Swanage, sadly the other establishments have let themselves down this last year. We visited Wright on the beach on Christmas weekend and the food was fresh, hot and delicious. Staff were very friendly....
