Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Ordered a takeaway for collection. Both had the rock and medium chips to share. Good sized portions and the fish was absolutely delicious and the batter was crispy and light.

Great place to stop off for a bite to eat. Food was fresh and well cooked (we both ordered cod and chips). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit if you're in Whitsatble. Recommended!

Terrible. Worst fish and chips Ive ever had! Such a shame as used to be the best in Kent! Friendly helpful and attentive staff but fish was awful, worse than frozen oven cooked variety. Chips undercooked, hard and very white and the old fat that...was used made them taste terrible too. Finally the toilets were disgusting! The floor was swimming with what I guessed was urine, toilet bowl was soiled and brown from months of non-cleaning and sink was filthy! I decided against using the facilities. A terrible experience, all around. We won’t be back.More

We just spent £56.00 and returned home with watery peas meant to be mushy, my large haddock was smaller than my sons cod and all the chips are grey and black making most the meal inedible. We are so disappointed!

The seating area was clean, and none of the tables were cluttered. The young man who took our order was polite and friendly. We ordered cod and chips and tea for 2, and he told us how long we would have to wait, as the...fish was cooked fresh. The tea came in nice big mugs, and was served while we waited for the food. The cod and chips, with tartare sauce, was beautifully cooked, and totally delicious. I would definitely recommend this place if visiting Whitstable.More

The take away fish 'n chips was very nice but there was a hair in my portion! Very offputting! I wish the staff would wear hair nets to prevent this from happening. There was also a hair in the box of wooden forks!

Due to reviews my daughter and I travelled to here from Canterbury on Sat 24 Sep - first alarm bells ‘cash only’ …. Who does that?????? (Why not offer card payments unless … makes you think)… We went to find an atm and came back...to order - guy serving (est 6pm) was awful - 1 cod and chips - 1 of sausage and chips - with curry sauce - £19.40!!! Snatched my £20 note and was as miserable as could be. Got the food and not generous portions - but cod and chips nice - but curry sauce was so runny we just put it in the bin. We were so disappointed as made the effort to go there but would definitely not recommend it. Service so poor and he was soooo miserable …. And what chippy can’t make a good curry sauce or more importantly are a registered business to take card payments to pay HMRC?More
