The Harbour - West Oxfordshire

Whilst visiting friends in the area my wife and I decided to try a local chippy, and we were encouraged by the reviews on trip advisor. It was Friday lunch time, and we got caught in traffic, undaunted we followed the sat nav to Madeley park, but even with the guidance from above, (Sat Nav not a Deity the 'Harbour ' was well hidden! So thanks to a local resident for directions. Half expecting there to be a long queue it was a shock to find nobody there, then, up popped a gentleman out of view sat(? behind the counter! He seemed less than pleased to see me, odd, especially since I was his only customer at that time. Any conversation I began was answered abruptly. So there were long periods of silence -apart from the proprietor 's constant tuneless whistling! On to the food, we were very disappointed, the fish batter was very greasy, the chips looked to have spent too long in the fryer and had black 'spots. ' We hoped for much better, and this at £7.00 for a 'small ' portion!!

Can't fault the quality but the price is getting a bit expensive and the portions are getting smaller

I've been a customer of this place for awhile had superb fish and chips great chicken and chips all freshly cooked in huge portions, by friendly staff. For OAPs the reduced price for their fish and chips is great .Reduced price but not in size .Highly reccomended

An excellent local fish and chip shop! The portions are pretty huge though even a 'small ' cod and chips almost defeated me even though I was very hungry! Reasonably priced, plenty of car parking, but Madley Park is rather a maze of little streets.

The Harbour is clean and enterprise venue. When you go in you place your order and are given a token with a number on and as soon as it is ready they'll the number out. Very efficient. You have to wait a little while longer if you want something special, wiliest is good especially for you. The batter on the fish is nice and crispy. The chips are always piping hot and are than you can eat for one person. We quite often order to fish and one lot of chips which is enough. The is a choice of fish on the menu as well as chicken, sausages etc. For a take-away I can highly recommend.
