Having spent over £75 combined would not even provide a 10p bag when we had no cash. Portion sizes are absolutely shocking and food was cold and uncooked. We were short a meal that we paid for. Service was abrupt, avoid at all costs.

We are SO lucky to live in Brockenhurst and have the Rainbow Fish Bar at the other end of Sway Road to where we live. Every time we go, the quality of the food, especially the fish and chips is excellent. Always freshly cooked, hot and the best quality of fish. Overall it is a great takeway experience which the whole family enjoy. If you like other things they do a great range of pies, sausages and other things as well as sauces pickles and drinks. Quite excellent and definitely worth travelling for!

We had a quick pitstop here as a group of six to get some short notice food. We've probably been spoiled a bit by our local chippie which sells ridiculously large portions at very reasonable prices. Food here was good, quickly cooked and tasty. It's not cheap, and the portions aren't what we are used to, but it's well worth visiting if you have a hankering for some fish and chips.

After seeing their review in the 2023 Fish and Chip awards we decided to give them a try. Travelled over from Gosport for a lunchtime treat on my daughter’s birthday and it was well worth the journey. Fish cooked to order was super flakey and the chips were lovely. Will be planning a return trip soon.

We had a burger, fish cakes and chips. What a lovely change to have a burger without all the fancy expensive trimmings, that restaurants and pubs now offer. This was a great tasting, superbly priced burger and the chips were plentiful and great tasting too. Hubby said fish cakes were delicious.

So the BUTTERY down the road kicked us out and didn’t give a reason but the RAINBOW fish Bar was our next destination. We were welcomed with open arms by two lovely human Chris and Debra who gave us some immaculate warm banter as well as some much needed fish and scampi and fish cakes. Very tasty and the boys were buzzin afterwards as well a very cheap prices. ‘U wouldn’t get food like this in America’ ~ Local genius ‘This is way better than French food’ ~ Other local genius

Absolutely delicious chips! Non greasy, not too thick, so not floury in the middle. Good flavour and crispy texture. Very good amount- ordered a large portion; plenty for 2 adults. Husband had a chicken and mushroom pie. Good flavour; slightly lacking in texture as microwaved rather than oven heated. Good value.

Wow how things have changed this place used to sell the best fish and chips around. Unfortunately not now the fish was overcooked and dry the batter burned and swimming in fat. The chips were soggy. Most of this ended up in the bin, an expensive lesson as the whole meal was wildly over priced.

We visited on the way home from the south coast town of Lymington. The fish and chip take away was good value especially when we saw that cod and medium chips consisted of a large amount of chips in the bag topped with a tasty crispy battered cod. All in all good value. They sold other stuff but we only bought cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Reasonable size portions, but EXTREMELY greasey! Absolutely swimming. They apparently also only use palm oil which is not at all environmentally friendly. You would think that living and working in a beautiful forest they would be more concerned about the rainforests that are being destroyed to grow palm oil plants 😢

We have been using this Fish Bar for many years whilst on holiday in the New Forest. However the choice has decreased and there are not many vegetarian options available. A vegetable curry pasty would be nice or at least a cheese and onion pasty. Prices are going up everywhere, but the portions are getting smaller.

Been visiting the New Forest for more than 25 years and have always had a fish and chip supper from Rainbow - have to say was very disappointed this time - the bags of food were dripping in grease, the curry sauce was more like gravy with a bit of spice and the fish was definitely over cooked - was convinced there must be new management- but apparently not . Oh dear what has gone wrong here ? Will try again next time we visit as everyone has an off day but really need to see a return to the previous excellent quality

£4.20 for a small sausage, (fair enough I’d taken a tiny bite from one end but still small). As for the chips, a measly ‘portion’ made worse by being well overcooked. Appalling for the price/quality/quantity.

I last had fish & chips from the rainbow fish bar 24 years ago when I lived in Brockenhurst with my family. I've always reminisced fondly about the white vinegar (pickled onion vinegar I think?) and the superb food in general. It was a joy to bring my own young family back here a couple of weeks ago. It's still owned by the same chaps as it was way back when and having a little reminisce as our food was prepared was really enjoyable and brought memories flooding back. The food was every bit as good as I remembered. Chips were hot & crispy, and the fish was fresh and flaky. I've always been a S&V fiend so having the ability to pour it on yourself is amazing. The white vinegar though, god, I wish that was available everywhere! It's just bloody brilliant. Thank you guys!

Friendly guy but noticed on eating our chicken and chips that the reason he'd suggested putting our 1 large chip order into 2 bags was because he already had 2 bags of chips hanging around. The chicken was great but the chips were terrible, old and reheated. Such a disappointment.
