Osca’s Fish & Chips — Restaurant in Arun

We have been going to Oscas for over 30 years so I think that writing a positive review is what I am obviously going to do. We have eaten there in the height of baking summers with the sun streaming through the windows , when it's been pouring down with rain too. A few of the staff may have changed and the menu too but the quality has never changed. Excellent food , cooked freshly served on a plate bread and butter the whole works . Last night we had a take away , in the summer we had take away and sat round by boating lake to eat it. I've been to social events with 50 or more people and they catered for us then . Nothing is too hard for them. The menu is extensive alternatives of Chicken , pies , sausages , roe and burgers also available . When you sit down you get the hustle of the shop in the background but it's part of the experience. Enjoy it, and even better you can have Pineapple fritters ad ice cream for afters only if you eat all your dinner though ! I really recommend it, we drove 10 miles last night for it and in the past we drove from Haywards Heath to meet there. Always a friendly face greets you , but its busy so book if you can otherwise you will be disappointed , summer...

We visited Osca's, intentionally as a takeaway but was pleasantly surprised when they allowed us to convert our takeaway into an eat-in with no additional costs; it had started heavily raining and that and chips don't mix!

We found the portions and prices of Osca's chips to be very generous, although they lacked the crispness that I'm accustomed to with sea-side chips. Their large sausage (at the time of writing) is £2.30, £2.50 for a battered one, which was more than sufficient enough for one portion.

The waiting time was around 10 minutes, but that was due to their "cook fresh" approach, which is ideal for anyone that wants to have a posh dish without breaking their bank in the process AND not having something that's as old as the day itself.

We will be remembering Osca's as our fish and chips shop of choice, and will surely be visiting again in the near future.

Went to pick up some fish and chips for lunch whilst out for the day in Littlehampton. We were served by a lady who was very pushy and didnt give us a chance to read the menu before getting annoyed that we didnt know what we wanted. We placed our order and whilst we waited for it to be cooked had to endure listening to the waiter complaining about the customers who had pushchairs. This included feeling the need to swear in front of the kids during his rant. So after this poor service we just hoped that the food would be good. It didnt disappoint. The chips were well cooked and flavoursome. The childrens meals were a really good size for the price. The haddock was good quality and the batter was nice and crispy. So overall the food was good with good value. I can only assume that when your customers are mostly tourists visiting only once, service is not at the top...
