Lakeside Fish & Chips

Perched along Poole's harbourside, Lakeside Fish & Chips has become a firm favourite with locals and visitors after proper British fish and chips with a view across the water. The kitchen fries to order, and regulars rave about a generous Cod And Chips served fresh, with battered sausages, fishcakes and mushy peas rounding out the traditional menu. You can grab your supper to take away and wander down to the waterfront, or settle in at the sit-down restaurant overlooking the boats.

Word of mouth has done much of the work here: the shop is rated 4.4/5 on Google and holds nearly two thousand Tripadvisor reviews, which speaks to its standing among the town's seaside chippies. Staff are known for being friendly and quick even when the marina gets busy through summer, and it's an easy walk from the town centre and the ferry terminal. Whether you fancy a classic Haddock Supper or just a cone of chips by the boats, it's a reliable stop for one of Poole's best-loved takeaway traditions.
