   I stay in the local motels most weeks and remember this place having great fish and chips a few years ago. I’ve been back a couple of times recently, including this week, and unfortunately I’ve been disappointed each time. The fish hasn’t seemed fresh despite asking, and on occasion it hasn’t been the type I requested. I do appreciate the generous portions, but for me quality matters more than quantity. I like supporting local businesses, but based on my recent experiences I won’t be returning.

   Very disappointed in the fish over cooked and 1 piece was quite small if we had been at ours back home they would have popped an extra piece in plus the spring roll needed at least another 4mins cooking time however the chips were yum and so was the mussel fritter. We won't be back

   This is our go-to fish shop. We travel from Hastings as it is so much better than the rest (we are super picky about fish). They are always so kind and welcoming, and the takeaways always delicious. Usual order is a fish burger, scoop of chips, snapper/gurnard, and maybe some extra seafood bits. The scallops have been very small recently but apart from that everything is top notch. No room to eat in store but is one of the best takeaways around.

   I ordered two packs of healthy fish and chips (grilled fish, salad, and kumara fries). I asked them if the two packs were meant to be eaten by two people with two servings of fish, and they said yes. Unfortunately, I received one small serving size, like one side of small fish meat plus a small half of one side of fish meat. I'm so disappointed to pay 25 dollars for the servings they gave, which is not enough for even one person. They claimed that the serving was due to the size of the fish they received, and I feel like the way they delivered the message was my fault for having the small serving. This is the third time I ordered fish and chips from Charles. I can genuinely say that the quality is substandard from what I have tried before from their takeaway because the kumara is a bit bitter or had an after taste which it seems like they used a super used oil. I will not come back again.

   Oh dear! This used to be our favorite fish and chip shop but had a very bad experience last week ... the fresh fish we chose was so overcooked it was ruined as was the two oysters we treated ourselves to! They were also terribly overcooked. So disappointing as charles street used to be very nice.

   We stopped in at the Westshore Cafe after being at the Napier Airport with the grandkids and we were greeted by a lovely lady at the counter. She offered lolly pops to our grandchildren and said this helps sometimes with the wait. There was no wait, service was exceptional and the meal was sensational. Huge pieces of fish and perfectly cooked chips. Hot dogs on a stick were delicious too. We will definately be back for more!

   Let’s hope the new owners are better than the last. We have been regular customers at Charles street for a number of years and always found it very good but unfortunately, the last several months have left us very disappointed. The fish is soggy and chips not cooked through and no seasoning applied. Not to mention the still frozen curry roll! Plus The gravy has always been cold. Also the wait time being 40 mins when told it would be 20. (40 mins for soggy fish?!) Let’s hope the new owners can do better.
