Usually visit in summer and always have to queue, which is worth it! Visited last night and no queue, sat straight down. Food, as always, delicious and straight out the fryer. Lots on the plate and free chip refill if you can manage them!!! Very good value for money!!
Been a few times over the past 20 years - I am opening a fish and chip shop in southsea called the fishermans kitchen uk and thought I would pay chez Fred a visit before we open as we are using the same potatoes and fish 🐟 😀👍🎣 great service lovely meal highly recommended if you are in my home town looking for a fish and chip shop #thebestintown
A traditional fish and chips restaurant in Bournemouth. The staff are superb and cheerful attending to customers with a high attention to detail. Food is freshly cooked to order, and the batter is light. The waitress said my cod was being cooked again because the tail was broken off, demonstrating quality and care to detail to which I said don't worry so not only did my original cod arrive but also to my surprise another as well! The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, setting itself apart from other fish and chip shops. A special thank you to Vicky, and Melissa who looked after us. You can't reserve tables, so I would advise arriving early in the evening. Otherwise, expect up to 1 hours wait. On street parking only. Certainly one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the UK.
A superb fish and chips restaurant! The staff here are really welcoming and attentive, we got seated quickly and we had our orders taken shortly after. The restaurant itself is well decorated. There is a good selection of fish, with specials and catch of the days. There is an option for unlimited chips, which I obviously went for to make the most of this amazing curry sauce that I got on the side. Other condiments come with the meal, but the curry sauce is worth every penny. The haddock I had was seasoned well and the batter was crisp and crunchy. We also had the soft serve ice cream and it was a lovely way to finish the meal, being a refreshing pallette cleanser. I would come back here for the curry sauce alone.
We have just had a lovely fish lunch deal at Chez Fred's. Their maitre d took our names and we waited for only 10 mins for a table. The restaurant is obviously incredibly popular. We were served by Marcie who was polite and helpful with great care to our needs. I had a cod lunch with unlimited chips (which is a great idea as it meant that they didn't cram loads of chips into my plate, which always puts me off). I also had normal peas not mushy. I had a small glass of wine and then a pot of tea after for £17.95. Excellent value. I highly recommend this restaurant and this was definitely the best fish and chips I've ever had. Thank you.

Well worth a visit even though there might be a queue.
Or get there earlier than we did.
A proper fish and chip restaurant. We got a good table as soon as we walked in.
We we're served very quickly, we chose "Fred's Feast" for £17 we had a generous portion of cod, chips and peas, a glass of wine, half a small baguette, a cup of tea or coffee and 2 jugs of water, still & sparkling.
I have to say, it was an amazing meal. Cooked to perfection, not greasy, and very tasty.
The service was exceptional. The loos we're very clean. We will definitely vist again.
Had the haddock and chips and kids meals. Lovely cooked fish, quick service despite busy early evening. Would recommend.
Chez Fred is a great place to go for a traditional fish and chips lunch. The £12.95 lunch offer is excellent value for money, and the food was delicious. The cod is perfectly cooked, the chips are crispy and golden brown, and the mushy peas are smooth and creamy. The bread roll is soft and fluffy, and the unlimited refills of chips are a great bonus. Alice, our server, was amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and always made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, I had a great experience at Chez Fred. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the value for money is unbeatable. I would definitely recommend Chez Fred to anyone looking for a great fish and chips lunch.
One of the best fish and chips I’ve had so far. Staff were very kind and friendly and they ask you if you need more chips every 5mins which is a laugh 😆
Busy busy and you have to wait for a table, but I’m not surprised in a nice restaurant like this which is worth it.
I highly recommend it 👍
Best place in the whole of the UK to have a scrumptious and clean fish and chips. Great service, friendly staff and clean restaurant.
Really busy, the staff super and friendly. Excellent service. The food really good. Unlimited chips. Quality food. 10 of 10 for them.
