You order the food at the counter after you walk in and then they bring it to your table when it is ready. So, service was immediate at the counter, and then the food came out about 10-12 min later. The atmosphere is very casual, no neckties and jackets required here. I found this place online and my husband was not disappointed. I did not try the fried Mars bar, but I imagine it would have been good.

EDIT: CLOSED This…read moreplace used to be called iFish and closed before I moved to the area, very happy to see something open back up here. Only been in once so far but seems a solid basic fish and chips place. Chips are really good and still nice an hour later cold (I ocouldn't come close to finishing the small portion). The cod was good, a bit greasy but no more so than expected. Only complaint is that the hours are not posted yet, would be nice to know if it's going to be an option when coming home late on the train for example.

The problem with visiting a Harry Ramsden franchise if you've ever visited the 'original' in…read moreGuiseley, Yorkshire is rather unfairly making a comparison with it. I think a lot of people would probably say something like: 'Harry must be turning in his grave!' But, the Guiseley branch and the franchise in the West Quay shopping centre in Southampton cater for a different clientele. The opulent restaurant at Guiseley was originally targeted at hikers on their way home from the Yorkshire Dales, who used to stop in for a fairly leisurely meal. Southampton is there for shoppers seeking a quick bite before resuming their shopping. Hence, the seating area is rather spartan and basic, and just like any other fast food place apart from the picture of Harry and the original hut at Guiseley on the wall. But, the important thing is the fish and chips. Harry Ramsden used to insist that only beef fat be used, and no fish be served unless it was landed that morning. However, freezing techniques have improved since Harry's day, and it's probable, these days, that they'd use vegetable oil. So, it's probable that even Harry would approve of the offerings here.

This harry ramsdens is located right at the top of west quay shopping centre in the heart of…read moresouthampton centre. Easily accessible from the M27, come off at junction 3 and follow the sign in to the shopping area. Good old harry ramsdens always serves up some lovely fish and chips everytime we go there, the only negative i would say is often the queue here is massive and takes ages to get served. It's partly due to being so busy, but also down to the staff really too as they just dont seem bothered in serving any quicker. Lots of seating outside in the main open area, although often this is a battle too to get a seat and enjoy your meal.
