The chips complement the fish perfectly, typically praised for their non-greasy texture and generous portion sizes, making every meal satisfying.

Customers often mention the efficiency of the service, especially during busy lunch and dinner hours. The queue might be long, but it's usually quick-moving, offering a chance to soak in the lively atmosphere. Many appreciate the convenience of a one-way system, ensuring social distancing, which speaks to the staff's dedication to customer safety and satisfaction.

Most Disliked

While the food receives high marks, a few customers have expressed frustration regarding the wait times during peak hours. Although the efficiency of the staff is commendable, occasional delays can arise, especially during busy spells. However, the flavor and quality are generally considered worth the wait, making this a minor concern.

Another common critique involves the occasional mix-up with orders, which can happen in a bustling environment. A few guests reported instances of incorrect orders, leading to minor inconveniences, but those issues appear rare and are often resolved quickly. Customers recommend double-checking your order before leaving to ensure a seamless experience.

I stopped here yesterday for lunch after cycling from Basingstoke. After a short wait whilst my order was cooked, I had cod and chips. The fish was tasty and the batter was crisp. The chips were good, not flaccid or greasy. I haven't had better anywhere else. Good value too.

Popped in on sat, customer was ranting, really think he was trying a fraudulent transaction. Camera footage couldn't be disputed. No business needs people like this. On the food side excellent as usual, , busy place for a reason. Young and professional working staff courteous when very busy. Will definitely go there again, Take the food and sit on mudeford quay

My first visit today and will definitely do so again. Everything cooked perfectly and to order (2 x large haddock, 1 large cod and chips). My missus and grandson ate everything and we all said the same thing - the best fish and chips we've had in years - and the batter was easily the best I've ever had. Thanks Alexander's, for such good grub!

Not to be missed - If you’re in Christchurch, there is no better fish ‘n chips to be had: succulent fish with delicious crispy batter. Service is only slow because there’s always a queue, but it’s worth the wait.
