Actually as fish and chip shops go I think these guys have one of the best menus for extras too, mushy peas, pea fritters, onion rings, curry sauce, pickled onion,gherkins and eggs, you name it! Our order of Cod and Chips , Lemon Sole & Chips and good old chicken nuggets for our lad. All was cooked freshly to order in about 10 minutes. Now one thing I will say is I have seen queues going onto the pavement before for this place so try to get an early tea if you can as after 6pm things can get busy. If you can order over the phone and then you can be one of those smug folks who walks right to the front to collect your food! Our food was served in boxes rather than just bags which makes for much easier eating if your sitting in the car or outside. I enjoyed my cod and chips, nice chunky chips and a decent portion of cod too. I even tried some mushy peas for the first time since I was a kid and there not bad actually, but I'm not sure they match KFC's chicken gravy! Over all I recommend TJ's fish and chip shop

My parents started me visiting this fish and chip shop. They always pop in and tell me how nice…read morethey are so when I first tried them for myself I was hooked and pop in often. Harlees are based at the bottom of a hill by some traffic lights just on the outskirts of town. They are always pleased to see their customers, and we are always greeted with a smile. The prices of the food are reasonable and average compared to other chip shops in the area, so you know you are getting value for money here. I always find the portion sizes to be huge and I can never finish a standard portion of cod and chips. The menu is standard to most chip shops, you wont find anything out of the ordinary on the menu, but there is a good selection as well. It's my chip shop of choice.

We were in a miserable hotel called West Cliff for 2 nights. The steam room was cold, it had no steam and the aromatherapy room had no aroma so I was in the cold hot tub thinking about dinner and explaining to locals how a miserable spiv manager here had refused me a fried egg at breakfast; apparently they had no fresh eggs. I said we were going to have the dinner offer they advertised but decided no more business for here. No fresh eggs my derrière. The locals told me to get breakfast in the Westbourne pub and raved about Fred's so we walked here on a lovely summer evening. We arrived after a 15 minute walk on a Tuesday night. It was packed out which was a great sight. The take - away too had crowds waiting patiently for their on-line orders. They smiled, took our number and said they'd call in about 30 minutes. So we had to go to a nearby pub (The Westbourne recommended for breakfast) a few minutes away; 1st world problems. Again this place was also busy for a Tuesday night albeit a pleasantly warm night. I had a pint of neck oil and my wife had a glass of rosé - £11.15. About 3O minutes passed and the phone rang...our turn. The sit-in part was still crammed full of happy people being served up delicious fish & chips and typical British desserts like lemon sponge, knickerbocker glory and sticky toffee pudding. So we opted for a Fred special (£17.95) as it got us prime cod and unlimited chips, mushy peas, their home-made tartare and coleslaw. We also got a bread roll with butter and a choice of wine or half pint of beer. The mushy peas were really exquisite. We could have had tea or filter coffee in the deal too. My wife got two rosé from the deal. I opted to pay extra for a pint of Piddle. I'd never heard of it but it was a tasty local beer. Everything was just perfect. We were offered more chips but we didn't finish the first lot. We were so full we had to forgo dessert. If I could give Fred 10 stars I would. If I could set Fred up in my home town I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thank you Fred and staff.

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!
