Kings Fish and Chips

Tucked away in the residential heart of Hamworthy, Kings Fish and Chips is a neighbourhood chippy that has built a loyal following among Poole families. Everything is cooked fresh to order, from crisp battered Cod And Chips to homemade pies, saveloys and chicken, and you can either carry it home or eat in at the small sit-down area. It's the sort of unpretentious local that knows its regulars and keeps the queue moving even when the lunch rush lands.

The shop is rated 4.2/5 on Google from more than four hundred reviews, with customers regularly praising the freshly fried fish, generous portions and fair value. Feedback is largely warm, noting friendly service and well-cooked chips, though a few mention the occasional busy-time wait. Sitting away from the main tourist drag, it's a handy choice for anyone around the Hamworthy area craving a proper Haddock Supper without heading into the centre of town.
