Well - not been to The Haynes for such a long time - why! These fish and chips are still the best around. You have to go a long way to find a fish and chip restaurant cooking in Beef Dripping - OK not a vegan style but hey we are entitled to have at least one traditional ‘Chippy’. The Cod was moist and as fresh as it comes and the chips were cooked to perfection. A friendly and family restaurant and takeaway - we booked a table which was a very pleasant experience - service excellent. Can’t praise The Haynes enough - despite a 40 mile round-trip we will be eating here regularly from now on. Food reviews are very subjective and so our experience may not reflect others; we have often found that you are at the mercy of the chef on the day - we were so looking forward to our meal at the Haynes, we were not disappointed. Highly recommended.
Lovely F&C, freshly prepared, served by really friendly and efficient staff although I think the elder gentleman may be the owner!.
Lovely to eat in, nothing to much trouble and licenced to sell wines and beer.. Great and reasonably priced
Stopped here to get fish and chips and chicken and chips, and initially the portions seem small, but it's actually quite filling. Chips are lovely and fish is very fresh and the chicken had a lovely 'moreish ' coating on it - we shall be back for more.
I've been twice so far, 2 x cod and chips. I really like this chippy, the batter is really good and the chips are tasty too. It's great value, around £6 for standard cod and chips. I will definitely be trying more from the menu :)
I visited this chip shop with my Mum and Dad back in 1972 - I was 10! I can only review how it was back then - excellent! We were on our way to Dawlish Warren, Devon and my Mum hated motorways so my Dad always drove down the Foss Way - as much as he could - "the Old Road" as he used to call it. My Dad passed away in 1985 aged just 45! My Mum is now in a nursing home and as I was sorting through her house I found a receipt from Devondale Chalet Park, along with a card for this chip shop, it was called Fry-Fare then but the proprietors were, I assume, the same family - Mr & Mrs A E Haynes. I do remember the chips back then tasting amazing, so if they are still fried the same way as they were back then by Mr & Mrs Haynes, then I'm sure they will still taste great. I would love to call again one day!
There food is absolutely amazing and well worth the money 💰 the best around buy fair 😋
Always a friendly welcome all the staff are really lovely, but most importantly the food is always freshly cooked and top quality. I can't recommend them enough
As our preferred local chippy, our fish and chip c/w mushy peas takeway was up to the usual standard. Batter was lovely and crispy!
Since moving to Farmborough the Haynes has become my choice for Friday night dinner. Often I'll have finished a portion of chips in my car and spend more than a few seconds considering getting a second bag
A regular go to for me and my family, tried a good chunk of the menu and allways impressed with the quality. Not to expensive and great portion control
The best fish and chips, I travel 6mile for it,its amazing.
Friendly local traditional fish and chip shop with onsite restaurant and some parking. Really friendly local staff who seem to know all their customers on first name terms. Salmon and salad available on the cafe menu, delicious
Extremely good fish and chips. Service could be better tho
If this isn't the best fish and chips in the south west then I'd be very surprised. The very best f&c in the south of England are undoubtedly Bardsley's of Brighton, in my humble opinion. But for a f&c shop/restaurant out in the country to be consistently this good is very impressive indeed. Well worth the drive out from Bristol to eat in their restaurant.
Eaten there again today and the f&c still first class...
Visited again October and still first class...
Been many times since October. Just as good as ever, every time. Best fish and chips restaurant for many many miles around.
Excellent value, great fish and chips, spotlessly clean and friendly staff.
