  “I can see why Harrison’s are considered the number 1 chippy in Oxford! Definitely deserving of the awards! I tried the cheese box (battered halloumi, mozzarella sticks and macaroni cheese bites). All of it was good, the mozz and mac would have been a big miss at most takeaway joints so it was refreshing to get decent ones here! Not many chippies do battered halloumi at all never mind good ones (I only know of one other in Oxon nearer to me), so that also wins brownie points with me Service was good, premises well maintained. Can’t fault it really. Already planning another visit soon to try something fish based - question is… do I go for my traditional fish burger? Or try one of the more exotic choice of fish on offer such as the NZ or Norwegian ones? 🤔 something you don’t usually see in British chippies! Even the Cornish variety on offer is huge and I know nothing beyond cod, haddock and plaice! So I’ll definitely need to ask the staff to guide me. Something I can be assured they’re experts at, based on my own observations and other people’s reviews Following this glowing review I gave, I have now recommended this place to a few of my friends Keep up the good work!”

  “The batter is the best I’ve ever had. Impressed by the fish selection - I didn’t notice the specials board til after I’d ordered my haddock, but I’ll look out for it next time. Not too long of a wait and pretty good value for money in this day and age.”

  “Called in tonight for chips and thought I'd go for some fish as well. The last time I had "chip shop fish" (not here), the batter was so thick and greasy that I had to leave half and felt nauseous so I was in two minds about it. I didn't need to worry though because the haddock was the best I've ever tasted, absolutely beautiful. The batter was light thin, crispy and VERY edible and not a scrap left in the box! Almost tempura in style. Clear guide shows the fish available along with firmness and tastes, great idea and I might try, out some others. Courteous staff too!”

  “What a little gem we are lucky to have. Range of different fish to choose from, their source is clearly labelled. Always well cooked with generous portions of big fluffy but crispy chips. Secret find: battered sausage!”

  “Travelling up from London to Cheshire, a lunch stop was definitely needed, and Harrison's Fish & Chips turned out to be an excellent choice. The Cornish haddock was beautifully thick and cooked to perfection, encased in a light, crispy batter that delivered on both texture and flavour. The large Cornish cod was equally impressive in size and enjoyed the same wonderfully crisp and tasty batter. The chips were hearty, thick-cut, and cooked just right, while the mushy peas were exactly to my taste – thick with a subtle, well-balanced flavour. The tartare sauce was a real highlight, ranking among the best I have ever had. The shop itself was spotless and well-maintained, with a clear sense of pride shown by the friendly and welcoming staff. The packaging was thoughtfully designed and environmentally friendly, which is always good to see. Conveniently, there was ample parking available both at the front and rear of the shop, making the visit all the more pleasant.

  “This is a great fish and chip shop, The lady serving was very polite and well mannered. I couldn't ask for more in terms of service. The fish was one of the best I've had, I could tell it was fresh, almost as if I was eating seaside fish. The chips were great also, the only downside was the amount of thin sliced hard chips. The peas tasted as peas should and were not overloaded with sugar or neon green looking. Great shop, I will be sure to visit again. Thanks”

  “January 2024 Review - the newest: Amazing place. Chips sometimes left in the heat bin which makes them drier, crisper, yet hot. Not great. Ryan and his staff are always helpful and will cater to your needs. First review: THIS is how Fish & Chips should be made. Made to order, hot fresh and satisfyingly crisp. The Fish is the real deal! Not the unnamed horrid stuff masquerading as cod or haddock. Curry sauce is okay, not as good as a real katsu, the likes of which I've found in some London chippies. Many chip shops should intern here to learn how REAL chips with all the accompaniments are made! Thank you for staying true to your promise, Harrisons, and always delivering service with a smile!”

  “Tried this for the first time yesterday...my husband suggested it....OMG I fell in love! It was so good. High quality fish (we had cod) with superb, thin, crispy batter.The chips - OMG - we got tonnes! We ordered large...probably could be shared among 4 people. The mushy pea...emmm it was rich and not watery. The staff was very pleasant. We went there at 6pm after a long day of meetings. We were lucky the service was quick. We placed the order and went to the coop to buy a few things. When we came back, the food was waiting. Highly recommend Harrison. Have not had this good of F&C for a long time. Thank you so much. Will definitely come again.”
