Lemon Plaice - Rushmoor
Lemon Plaice
Description
Nestled in the heart of a bustling shopping complex, this restaurant has garnered both praise and criticism from locals. Once a beloved fish and chips spot, its recent dip in food quality—highlighted by greasy offerings and inconsistent temperatures—has disappointed many loyal patrons. While friendly service and budget-friendly options, like the senior citizen menu, still shine, they fall short in comparison to competitors. Positive experiences persist for some, who cherish the freshly cooked fish and chips, yet the overall sentiment leans towards a need for significant improvements. A nostalgic favorite, now facing challenges in maintaining its former glory.

Under new ownership wanting £9.50 for a standard Fish Chips meal, formerly around £6.50 all in! Staff are friendly and approachable but as this place does not offer a lunchtime special it is way too expensive for an average punter. Compared to Churchills in Fleet this is not worth the visit. There is far less fish and more batter. Churchills wipes the floor with this place. It’s a real shame. Not a great experience.
The people who work there are very nice and friendly. The chips are very nice and cooked. I love their food because it tastes good. I've been to this place lots of times since I started living at Farnborough. No problems with the Lemon Plaice at all.
This is a favourite with the older members of the local community, they like that you can sit in and have a decent fish n chip supper. Been there a long time so obviously doing something right, never heard a negative review of this plaice (pun)!
Thought we would try this chippy for a quick snack. Curry and Chips was £1.85 and we received 18 chips I think there was one more small scrap. The chips were well cooked and served hot. A few more chips might have enticed us back in the future, but not for a child's portion.
I ordered a adult meal of pie and chips to eat in. The food was ok, but was served on a very small plate that is almost like a side plate in size. Although the plate was small they still somehow managed to make it a small portion. It just seemed that the owners were trying very hard not to provide adult portion sizes but still wish to charge adult prices. Unfortunately It was poor value for money and did not seem to be a clean place to eat. They need to significantly reduce eat in prices, or keep the prices the same and serve food that is on dinner plates and ensure that the portion sizes are of a reasonable size. Unfortunately, it seems to be one of those places that people are unlikely to go back to. Disappointing...
