The queue that forms shortly after opening on any given day should give you an idea of what to…read moreexpect here: the best fish and chips in Weymouth...and maybe even Dorset and would likely give any chippie in the UK a run for its money. I was in Weymouth for my sister's wedding this past summer and she scheduled one meal at the Marlboro. I ate there 3 times over the course of 4 days. I tried to lose some weight to look good for the wedding; this place definitely didn't help that cause. For about £10 pounds, you get a reasonably sized filet(s) and a whole heap of chips. The batter is crisp, light, and perfectly seasoned. The pineapple fritters are an awesome dessert - kind of like a fried Oreo us muricans love with only half the guilt/remorse afterward. The chips are ok - again, mostly because I've been conditioned to want my fried potatoes to be crispy. I prefer the chips w/ the curry sauce poured over top. YUM! Of the types of fish I tried, I'd put cod - mackerel - haddock in order of preference. Salt and vinegar are available, but all other sauces are charged a nominal fee. You can eat in or takeaway - the eat in area is a bit congested, so may not be very comfortable if you have young children. The queue is formidable but it moves along rather quickly. Sitting by the Old Harbour bridge, eating fish and chips and drinking a Shandy Bass...lovely way to spend an afternoon--or three--in Weymouth.

When we arrived in Weymouth we asked a local on the street where the best place to get fish and…read morechips was. She directed to this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. It was full of people that were obviously locals. The fish was fresh and the lager cold. Would highly recommend!!!

The Boat that Rocks is located literally on a marina by the docks. If you did not search for a…read morerestaurant/pub with food, you wouldn't find this place. It is an odd location where there's boats all around and even a massive parking garage just for boats. Pretty unique place. The ambience seems a bit posh, but the staff is attentive and friendly. There's a lot of seating so you can pick your choice if need be. You sit down and you order your food on a simplified menu. There's not too many choices but enough and there's even some vegetarian options as well. The kitchen closes at around 9pm. We know this because after climbing on the island all day, we were looking for a place to go and as we came in and wanted to order food, it was a bit rushed since the kitchen was about to close soon. Nachos- they are sad and underwhelming. The tortilla chips are interestingly flavoured and seasoned with paprika maybe? The cheese is salty and loaded on heavily. The amount of sour cream and salsa given on the side is absolutely sad. It's a tiny thumbnail paper cup. Barely enough for a couple tortilla chips. Fish and chips- fish is okay, nothing that special. The chips are massive and chunky. The mushy peas are your average mushed peas. The tartare sauce is just as sad as the sour cream and salsa for the nachos. Halloumi and red pepper burger- by far the best part of everything we got. The halloumi is fried to perfection. The vegetables are a nice balance. The pretzel bun was too much breading though. It came with a little side salad and coleslaw. As well as the chunky massive chips. It doesn't seem much but it's pretty filling by the end of it. The amount of mayo given was the same as the other dipping sauces. We had to ask before they gave us more. Why not just give the whole condiment bottle? Overall if you are looking for a cold drink with a meal, this place is decent enough. Just don't get your hopes up. The ambience and the plating is much fancier than the food is.

I ordered a burger plus chips with curry sauce. The burger was the most disgusting piece of meat I've seen in a long time. It had no resemblance to meat. The bun was very bland and the cheese was even worse the the stuff you get from the usual main fast food branches. The chips and curry sauce were ok, but nothing I would write home about. So I will stop writing about it here as well as its not worth extending it further.

(£3.85 for all that) They were the best fish & chips I have had in a very, very long time. The gentleman who served me was attentive, helpful and friendly and I left the place with a spring in my step feeling like I'd genuinely just received all round 5* service with a 5* take away on top! This place is an old school shop and there are bar stools facing out of the window where you can rest whilst you wait for your fish to be freshly cooked to order, or to munch down on your purchases. Or, walk through a little archway for the full restaurant service as the building caters for both dining styles. I will definitely be eating here again when I'm next in Weymouth.
