The queue that forms shortly after opening on any given day should give you an idea of what to expect here: the best fish and chips in Weymouth...and maybe even Dorset and would likely give any chippie in the UK a run for its money.
I was in Weymouth for my sister's wedding this past summer and she scheduled one meal at the Marlboro. I ate there 3 times over the course of 4 days. I tried to lose some weight to look good for the wedding; this place definitely didn't help that cause.
For about £10 pounds, you get a reasonably sized filet(s) and a whole heap of chips. The batter is crisp, light, and perfectly seasoned. The pineapple fritters are an awesome dessert - kind of like a fried Oreo us muricans love with only half the guilt/remorse afterward. The chips are ok - again, mostly because I've been conditioned to want my fried potatoes to be crispy. I prefer the chips w/ the curry sauce poured over top. YUM! Of the types of fish I tried, I'd put cod - mackerel - haddock in order of preference.
Salt and vinegar are available, but all other sauces are charged a nominal fee.
You can eat in or takeaway - the eat in area is a bit congested, so may not be very comfortable if you have young children. The queue is formidable but it moves along rather quickly.
Sitting by the Old Harbour bridge, eating fish and chips and drinking a Shandy Bass...lovely way to spend an afternoon--or three--in Weymouth.
