The Catch Fish and Chips

Sitting along the main parade in Highcliffe, The Catch is a friendly fish and chip shop that has won over a steady stream of seaside visitors and locals alike. Customers regularly single out the light, crisp batter and properly cooked chips, and many note the welcoming service from the team behind the counter. The shop carries a current Food Hygiene Rating from council inspectors, and has built a reputation for freshly fried fish since coming under more attentive ownership.

A classic Cod and Chips is the headline order here, backed up by the usual chippy line-up of sausages, pies, mushy peas and battered extras to round out a takeaway supper. Opinions can be a little mixed on a busy night, but on a good evening the fish comes out flaky and hot, making it a handy stop after a walk along the nearby clifftops and beaches. It is an unpretentious, traditional British takeaway that suits both a quick family tea and a treat by the sea.
