About Peters Fish Bar and Chinese Takeaway
Peters Fish Bar and Chinese Takeaway is a fish and chips takeaway in Basingstoke, at 2 Fair Isle House. The fish side of the menu centres on cod and chips, with the fish skinned and the chips sold in large and small portions. An extensive Chinese menu runs alongside it, so one order can cover both cuisines, with dishes such as special fried rice. A lunchtime special of 6 mini spring rolls gives a smaller option in the middle of the day. Payment is cash only. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cod and chips, praising fresh fish that is skinned and not too greasy, with a crisp batter that looked dark but was perfectly cooked. Chips come in generous portions, with one reviewer saying a single small portion fed two and another noting no black bits. Close behind is the Chinese side, where the lunchtime special of six mini spring rolls and decent Chinese dishes for takeout earn praise. Food is described as hot and well wrapped, still piping hot after a short drive home, and several call the portions good and the prices cheap. Service is called friendly and excellent, and one reviewer mentions a slight wait because the place was busy. The complaints are sharper but fewer. One diner found the ribs so dry that most went in the bin, with watery, bland curry sauce and soggy chips, while another said the fish tasted like cheap frozen supermarket fish. One reviewer wishes mushy peas were sold, and another flags that it is cash only, a detail that comes with the cheapest chippy one reviewer had found in a long time.
