Chez Fred
Dorset, Bournemouth - Seafood - Restaurant & Takeaway
Three generations of the Capel family have owned and run their homely, simply decorated fish and chip restaurant in a Bournemouth suburb for 35 years – in fact it's considered something of a local institution. The menu features Atlantic cod or haddock, with a ‘catch of the day’ listed on a specials board (perhaps plaice, hake, red gurnard or rock), all sustainably sourced, sparklingly fresh, and fried in a light, airy batter with very good chips. There's a gluten-free day on Tuesdays, and a takeaway section if you find the queue for the dining room too long.

Always great! Always fresh, always welcoming and warm. We all do like to visit this restaurant, and yet sometimes awards are snooty and look down on fish and chips. But they shouldn’t!
