Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the light, crispy batter that coats the fish. It's not greasy, which is a common concern with takeaway options. People also appreciate the massive portions, especially the chips, which tend to exceed expectations. The family-friendly atmosphere and the polite service contribute to an overall positive experience. Some guests even highlighted the delicious aroma that fills the air, enticing them to return.

Many also enjoy the added variety offered on the menu, including options for those who crave something beyond traditional fish and chips.

Most Disliked

While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some customers expressed a desire for a more extensive menu beyond what's currently offered. A few noted that during busy times, service could slow down, leading to longer waiting times. There are also mentions of the occasional inconsistency in batter cooking; while most meals are cooked to perfection, a rare few have found it slightly uneven. However, these issues seem minor compared to the many praises the shop receives.

Moreover, some diners noted that while the shop offers outdoor seating, it may not be as comfortable during colder months.

Have been ordering fish and chips for years at this place! Always friendly and polite! Ordered a Chinese meal this evening, and was not disappointed, freshly cooked, not too oily, and very hot!. They've gone to great lengths to provide a safer transaction, from perspex windows to a second booth to pay and furthermore, a taped corner which they ask you to wait in when your food is being prepared!. Certainly well thought out and was overall very satisfied with both the quality of food, to the quality of service. Well rone Cove Fish Bar & Takeaway

I love this fish shop and have been visiting it since I was a kid I no longer live in Farnborough I live 250 miles north and was in Farnborough on holiday and just had to make a visit to this 45 year old third generation family run business as always the staff were very friendly and very chatty the food as always was beautiful fresh fish and chips I was sad to see that the Chinese next door had closed down due to retirement but some of the menu is still available in the fish shop I'm hoping that this very much loved chippy survives the cost of living crisis as it would be a very sad day if it was forced to close due to rising costs I would recommend this chippy as it truly is one of the best in the local area
