Olivers

This is by far the best fish and chip place that I have tried in the south. The fish is crispy on the outside and mouthwateringly succulent on the inside. The chips are deliciously chunky and fluffy on the inside. I’ve tried the curry sauce once which was pretty good and we nearly always get a saveloy which is always decent, though I feel you’d be hard pushed to find a place that could get that wrong.
The food is alway, always piping hot, regardless of whatever time you go. The place is even open on a Sunday which is perfect if you’ve just been shopping and you’re on your way home.
The service is pretty quick and if you do have to wait then there’s enough space in the shop so you don’t feel like you’re in the way. The take away also looks clean which is an added bonus.
They also have a car park which is pretty handy.

Small potions, but very nice.

Fantastic fresh fish and chips selection!

Olivers has changed over the years, and unfortunately not for the better. The quality has gone down, but the prices have gone up. Shame, as they’ve lost their crown as the best chippy in Basingstoke now.

Oliver’s has great fish and chips, and a good selection of other options. I may not be the best «fish and chips» expert, as I’ve only had them one other time… but if I were going to eat fish and chips regularly, I’d say this place would rank among my favourites. Fresh, not overly greasy or heavy, and just good food. The «brown sauce» and the French house wine was great too. There is also a lot of parking out front and it seems easy to get to. The only negative thing about it (4 instead of 5 stars) is that it was FREEZING inside. I ate with my coat on.

Ah, what a place. Or should that be plaice?
Olivers is a fair drive, to be honest; you really have to want fish and chips to make the trek out here. However, it’s worth the effort. They constantly seem to be winning awards, and you can see why. Everything is delicious, the restaurant is clean and tidy, service is fast — just about perfect. As others have said, it is pretty expensive, but I still think it’s worth the money. Can’t afford to go as often as I would like, but that’s probably just as well; it’s not the healthiest meal around, is it?

I live nearby so it’s very handy for us. It’s a really good chippy and never lets us down. Nice crisp chips, good fish and a really wide selection on the menu. It’s not the cheapest though, which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5.

this place is on the outskirts of old basing so it is a bit of a trek for many people in basingstoke to go for takeout, we have visited here but find that because it is a bit out of the way our food is cold by the time we get home. it has won several awards in the past for being the best fish and chip shop in basingstoke but i think that they are a bit overated, the food is ok but you dont get large portions of chips and i find them to be a bit expensive, the place is very clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly but it does get very busy at times so expect a bit of a wait, overallif you are passing this place try their fish if you want a treat.
