Mariners - Basingstoke and Deane

Had and order for family from here last week and it’s really sad this has gone down so quickly. Fish not very good and batter doesn’t taste very good. Seems the oil may have needed changing as the Chips had loads of tiny black dots all over them. Everything tasted greasy. We also had kebab and it is sliced off and fried… I can understand this is because not everyone wants a kebab but husband didn’t eat it. It’s such a shame as lovely people but standard has dropped.

Tried the kebabs today... Personally we think the meat started life in Wickes, and has been cut to suit !!!!. Normally being male i flick off the green bits to get to the joy of crispy meat ...... having tried that ,we threw away the meat and ate the greens just to obtain moisture !!!!! . This has to be in many years of kebab research the worst possible excuse going. They need to stick to chips !!!!. Priced at £7.20, its worthwhile going elsewhere.

Has always been a bit, hit and miss but just served greasy soggy slop as cod and chips. Worst I've had by a long way. Will never go back.

We visited early, asking for three cod and chips. We were the only customers and were told to wait five minutes. The staff remained leaning on their counter scrolling through their phones. After a couple of minutes some already cooked fish and chips were loaded into paper, salt and vinegar added, and served. No idea why the wait was necessary, and the food was lukewarm soggy short in fish. It’s not that hard to serve fresh fish and chips, crispy and hot. My guess is the staff just can’t be bothered.

I wouldn't eat anything from this place again if it was the last place on earth! As the chips were soggy and bad in places and the veggie burger was greasy ans not fit for consumption and gave me chronic tummy ache afterwards, i wouldnt feed a stray their food and am surprised theyre still trading giving alot of the bad reviews
