    There's only one thing better than Fish and Chips and that's Fish and Chips by the sea…read more Having spent most of the day in Winchester, my friend took me to Harlees, which is right on the quay at Poole, for what she thinks is the best fish and chips in town. Yep, she was right. I ordered a regular cod and chips meal for about £6. The cod was HUGE, the batter nice and crisp, plus there were bits as well! The chips were also lovely, covered in salt and vinegar. It was served in a box as well, which was a novelty to me. I couldn't resist but to start eating my chips as we were walking along the quay, and I reckon the smell of the sea air just adds to the saltiness of the chips, making them even better. The cod was really well cooked, with the crispness of the batter complementing the "melt in your mouth"-ness from the fish. So next time you're in Poole, check out Harlees. I know I'll be back!

    Me and my partner came here a couple of months ago whilst my brother was in town and we tried the…read morefood here and by accident we had discovered a secret little gem. As we sat outside by the harbour we came to realisation that the chips were probably the most delicious we had ever tasted... at least when we visited on that occasion. We went back yesterday evening as my partners mother was in town and we opted to eat in using the restaurant. We had given glowing recommendations of this place to her mother as well as many friends and colleagues but we were absolutely and completely disappointed when we were served our food. The food was very bland, boring and nowhere even close to the same quality it was just a couple of months ago. The chips lacked their distinctive crispy coating texture and flavour. I spoke to the waitress and manager on several occasions because it was like we had come to a totally different restaurant. I asked the manager, 'what's happened to the place?', 'are the diners served the same food as those who get takeaway?' and 'are you using a different chef or kitchen because the food has gone seriously down hill?' Unfortunately, the only feedback I got as to why the food may not have been so much to my liking was because a different type of potato might have been used due to seasonal harvests. Well I'm sorry, and I'm no potato specialist but I doubt that the type of potato chosen would affect a decrease in quality to the level we experienced. The blame can only fall to one reason in my opinion; poor cooking skills and ability. It seems to me that something negative has affected what's being put out from the kitchen. Also, the portion size seemed relatively small for the priced you paid at £3 for about 12 chips. Lastly, my partners mother ordered desert (I didn't as I didn't think my terrible main deserved a desert order). She ordered the apple crumble only to be told by the manager that he would not be happy to sell it to us (so basically it had gone off). She did order another desert which she was reasonably happy with but overall I would not recommend this place to anyone. I think we will be going to Chez Fred's in the future!
