   Pleasantly surprised to find this chippie open on a Sunday. Food didn’t disappoint - chips were great and my large Haddock was lovely, fresh and not greasy. Well done!

   This has to be the worst food I have had in a Fish and chip shop. The owners seriously need to try and eat their own food. The chips were limp and soggy, the battered fish was swimming in grease and over cooked and the pie had the texture of being out of date. Truly disgusting food. We won’t be going back that’s for sure.

   Yes, the fish was good. I'd seen the photos of the chips, so knew exactly what I was getting and they were edible ... but that's what makes the difference between 5 star and 3 star. Quick and friendly service. Nothing against the place but better and fresher chips would get a higher rating.

   My girlfriend and I were mega-impressed ! First time trying this place and not only were the owners a delight the food was excellent. Fish perfectly cooked with a lovely crispy tasty batter and the chips were great too. Plenty to eat so just the right sizing (Medium cod and large chips) Lady behind the counter was lovely and chatty but then again everyone is friendly in East Wittering. Will certainly use from now on and I would add best F and C's we've had in the area. Thank you and see you soon

   I post lots of reviews of fish and chips as I travel around the country. How did the Royal Oak compare. It was OK but I have had a lot better. The premises were very quiet during my lunchtime visit around 13-15. I was across the road and didn’t see anyone go in for about five minutes before I did. I ordered large cod and regular chips. The fish was cooked to order. No one else came in whilst I was there. The fish was a good size and the batter was crispy. Sadly when I went to eat it about two minutes later the chips were very lukewarm. They had obviously been cooked a while ago and sat in the fryer tray keeping warm. Taste wise I have had much better. Both the chips and the fish had an oily taste which I can only put down to the oil or age of the oil. Sadly it spoilt what could have been superb. Will I revisit ? The jury is out.

   Picked up a medium cod and chips when I happened to be passing a few months ago. The fish was the smallest portion I've ever had from anywhere, and the chips were nothing special. Went back to question the size of the fish, to be told it's measured by weight, and that it was the correct size. I think they need to get their scales checked, as my kids have had bigger in children's portions. There's plenty of fish and chip shops on the south coast, and now I know to go to a different one next time.

   Disappointingly average at best. Batter was soggy in places and super oily, my large fish seemed the same size as my wife's regular portion, and could barely taste the salt and vinegar. Felt quite queasy after eating Was a long queue of locals out the door to order and collect so took at least 20 mins to get two portions of fish and chips. Wasn't concerned about the time but it left me to have much higher expectations which were sadly unfulfilled.

   I tried to contact you by phone to make you aware that on Tuesday evening (12/7) I ordered a Quorn battered sausage and when I bit into it it was a meat one. This was extremely disappointing (and unpleasant as a vegetarian) having been impressed by the colour coded vegetarian/ vegan menu. Please introduce a level of checks to ensure those who choose not to, or are unable to, eat meat/ fish/ dairy don't receive them in error.

   Very nice local chippy. Chips were well cooked in clean oil and the fish was excellent. They didn't answer the phone when we tried to call ahead but it was a busy Friday.
