Beach 48 in Shepway

I don't know if I am allergic to fish, but I was on the coach trip today and coming home, I felt very sick and sore throat and hard to swallow now. I'll leave it till tomorrow but I don't feel well.

Fish and chips lunch for two. Freshly cooked and very tasty, Staff were great and very friendly. Would Deffo recommend for all the family.

Lovely food and friendly service

Really tasty and catered to dietary needs. Thank you!

I had some fantastic cod & chips yesterday, day on the beach to eat them

The food was hot and fresh the service was quick and friendly and the price was pleasantly good.

Me and my family came yesterday for lunch and couldn’t fault in anyway food was perfect and reasonably priced and staff were spot on would highly recommend

We only ordered children’s fish bite and chips but they were freshly cooked and absolutely excellent! Light, crispy batter on the generous fish bites and lovely, fluffy on the inside, chips.

Take away experience twice here and I soon understood why there was always a queue for the food! Delicious fish and chips, burgers, even the veggie burger was yummy. Chips over salted on my second trip was a minor gripe. Recommend it highly.

Beach 48 is a fantastic fish and chip takeaway that I recently discovered. Located near the beach, it’s the perfect spot to grab a delicious meal to enjoy by the sea. The fish was fresh and perfectly fried, with a crisp batter that wasn’t too greasy at all. The chips were golden and cooked to perfection, making for a satisfyingly hearty meal and the curry sauce was very delicious! The portion sizes were generous, ensuring great value for money. The staff were friendly and efficient, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you’re in the mood for classic fish and chips done right, Beach 48 is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic fish and chips good value great cup tea nothing wrong well done clean very friendly staff. Great location opposite car park on top of great beach

Visited many times before, but this was appalling. Wet, soggy, really horrible chips. Scampi was the worst I've ever eaten and portions were very small. Really a shame as we have lots of family memories at Dymchurch.

Visited before but this time was horrendous. Horrible wet, soggy chips. Scampi was the worst I've ever eaten. Shame it's gone really downhill.

Set meal Cod and chips, mushy peas and desert plus drink for £10 - really great value. Cod was cooked to perfection and batter was crispy. Loverlee!

Best fish and chips in Dymchurch.

Really disappointing service and over charged on the Friday. The supervisor miss James was in a rush to close at 4,40 miss James gave us horrendous customer service telling us to go else where. For fish and chips Saturated our food on Friday with Salt and vinegar after asking not to add any due to allergies. When we explained Miss James the supervisor to go else where.

Delicious scampi and chips. Would recommend. Accurate collection time. First sauce sachet should be free.

I brought fish and chips last weekend the Que when I got to the beach was so long decided on leaving I would have to try, waited around 30 mins for the food staff was pleasant and food was lovely would say 6/10

Really enjoyed our lunch here! The lunchtime deal is great value- cod,chips,mushy peas, drink and dessert for £10! Really tasty food and friendly service. 10/10 recommend!

Best fish and chips in Dymchurch by far.

Lovely chips and cavalry, very popular

Had a great set price lunch today, cod and chips and mushy peas, tea and a pud. Beautifully cooked, lovely attentive staff, best eating spot in Dymchurch!

A great place to eat in Dymchurch. Centrally located near the main car park and loos. Lovely cod and chips and mushy peas, best I have had in a long while Staff are great too, very reasonably priced as well.

This is our go to place for fish and chips in the area. We have had takeaways and eaten in and the food is always delicious.

Whilst staying in a holiday park nearby, we visited Dymchurch and decided to have lunch at Beach 48. The restaurant was clean, spacious and well maintained. The staff were friendly, the food was great and all in all reasonably priced. Would highly recommend for a place to eat when in Dymchurch whether you eat in or takeaway.

Sunny weekends - expect for long queues. Plenty of options for take away food and eat in. Fresh fish and burgers.

Go there regularly for our fish and chips. Always freshly cooked and always good quality. Always loads too many chips, even with a chip butty and the end of our meal!

Freshly prepped food. I had the Lunch special. Cod, chips and mushy peas, hot pud and custard and a hot or cold drink for £10.

Great food quick service Times will increase when busy tho Good selection of food

several fish and chip places to choose - so glad we chose this one - cooked fresh when ordered - fish and chips amazing and good portions - friendly staff - and very good prices

Always lovely staff in this chip shop. Good choices for adults and kids. Fair prices too. Surprisingly the cakes are fantastic.

Good hot food with plenty of choice. Staff are friendly , the place is clean with a good atmosphere. We had a lunch special which was such good value for money the place was packed on a weekday!! Would definately recommend 🌹.

Fabulous lunchtime meal deal served by delightful staff in a bright and cheery atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended.

Spent the day in Dymchurch during the Easter Holidays and decided to try our luck at getting a table here. We did and we were glad we did! The fish was beautiful! Can't fault the staff or the food. Highly recommend.

Over saturated battered sausage, was binned! No adult staff = disaster in my opinion! Shame on the owners! Will NOT RETURN.

Had the lunchtime special which was really good at such great value. 🙂

Great food,great value,big portions.

Excellent all round. Had the daily special today, cod&chips.mushy peas.followed by bread pudding & custard + a drink. £10.00 YES only £10.00

Very affordable and enjoyable lunchtime special during the week. Exceptional value for good quality food. Staff friendly efficient and helpful.

Never disappointed with the food or service. This time we dined in for a treat. Walked to our table, asked about our day. Felt valued. Ordered fish n chips and pie n chips. Perfection. Curry as well. Please try and you will be supporting a local business that hires local people. Also their cakes are lovely.

Had lunchtime fish and chips menu could not fault it good value 👌

Best fish and chips for miles...lovely staff

Excellent food service clean good quality and excellent service ...girls happy to serve ....what more could you ask ..well done great lunchtime deal can't be beat excellent

Very enjoyable lunch at Beach 48 on Friday 17 November 2023. The restaurant was well run, clean with efficient and friendly service. The menu was varied and our meals were both delicious. My husband’s ’Lunch Special’ was particularly great value with cod and chips, a hot drink and the pudding of the day all for £10! An absolute bargain. Two very satisfied new customers and we’ll definitely be returning there for lunch on our next bike ride.

Meal: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Popped in to Beach 48 Cafe for lunch today. Our meals were great, particularly my husband’s cod, chips and mushy peas ‘lunch special’ - an absolute bargain at £10 which included a coffee and a delicious hot pudding. Such great value! The staff were friendly and efficient and the restaurant clean and well run. The only small improvement would possibly be some background music. Definitely recommend this cafe and will be heading straight back on our next bike ride along this beautiful coast. Forgot to mention the home made cakes on display which looked divine!

Got a takeaway of fish and chips to eat by the sea. Chose the senior portion for £6 as we didn’t want too much. It was actually a really generous portion, and very filling. Fantastic fresh fish, delicious crispy batter, great chips and amazing value. Thank you!

First time trying service for takeout was quick but could not cut pie up was hard pastry was overdone chips were greasy in bottom of box and tasted too soft fish was done okay but won’t buy there again

Visited Beach 48 on 11 October, what a lovely place, the staff were very friendly and helpful, it was no trouble to open the second door so I could enter easily in my wheelchair, there was plenty of room between tables which helped to create a relaxed atmosphere, there was a good selection of tasty meals on the menu, the waitress told us about the special they do which was fish and chips with a choice of pudding I opted for the chocolate sponge and custard, when it arrived it was a generous portion so hubby happily shared it with me, all the food was freshly cooked and delicious, the restaurant was clean and bright, the toilet is suitable for wheelchair users and was immaculate, the only thing that maybe useful would be a handrail to help the more frail rise from the throne. Both hubby and I would definitely Visit Beach 48 again when we are next in the area.

Todays (Thursday 21st) chips for some reason absolutely disgusting, not sure what’s happened just in edible. fish as always just brilliant.

We visited twice...once to takeaway and once to sit in. Both times the fish was delicious and perfectly cooked and the chips plentiful. The people serving were pleasant and helpful

Great fish and chips. Quick service. Friendly staff. Nothing bad to say. I took takeaway

Good selection available. Fish and chips were really nice. Staff helpful and friendly. Bit if a queue but then its expected being thatvthe place is so higjly rated. 5 stats. Highly recommended. We ordered takeaway and found a bench overlooking the beach. Perfect

Top notch Fish and Chips.We ate in and also had a takeaway. Cod,Plaice, battered sausage and mince and onion pie all lovely.Chips were well cooked.Good portions,well priced and friendly staff. Sit in is typical Chip Shop sit down.Kept tidy and nice and clean..

Best fish & chips in kent, real old fashioned type but at the same time has tastefully been modernised. Clean and tidy, staff polite and friendly and reasonably priced.

Perfect fish and chips all round for 4 of us. We enjoyed eating our meal on the beach. Good portion sizes and freshly cooked The only negative was we could not identify the haddock so distinguishing the haddock by labelling the box would have been helpful. Great value. Definitely recommend.

Very good service. All freshly good, not much of a wait. Very generous portions, curry sauce us excellent

The restaurant offers both takeaway and table service. We decided to wait for a table which took about 15 minutes. The staff were very friendly and we all ordered cod and chips. Good sized portions of both and they were perfectly cooked. All the plates went back empty which showed the quality of the food. Will definitely return.

yesterday early evening i fancied sausage & chips while in dymchurch & decided on beach 48- wish i had,nt choose this place. this was not alot of money £4.70 one portion, the chips a were soggy white mess - not even cooked ! the sausage i broke in half has to cool it down was my thinking , but it was cold inside & once again a soggy uncooked mess- even my dog would not eat it.

food is cooked by teenagers cod was over cooked chips over cooked on the outside raw inside total waist of £25 for 2 people i did tell the staff it was poor got no response

Classic Fish and Chips, staff really welcoming. Was busy but worth the wait, would definitely recommend.

Used to be really good. Defo changed this year. Chips used to be the best, erm.. Don’t have a pie! Was hard and dry clearly not fresh. Dymchurch is changing imho cos of this.

Really lovely food and great service

Brilliant food. Fantastic service. I wish I left room for the homemade cakes. They looked delicious

Absolutely lovely meal. Obviously it is very busy with the time of year but we were lucky and turned up just as they had a table free. A lovely young lady just said can we wait a couple of minutes for her to clean it and set up for us which I really liked. Food was lovely and very good value. I wish I'd had room for the lovely cakes on display. I plan on visiting again for the vienesse whirls. It was only on the way home I realised I forgot to tip. I will tip double in future as the staff are a credit

Nice piece of cod and fantastic chips

The takeaway cod and chips was absolutely superb. Gorgeous curry sauce too (slightly fruity taste). Very reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Really nice fish and chips, decent size and good price.

Beautiful fish and chips. Everything perfect. Big group quick service freshly cooked food.

Alot has changed in 3 years,gone down hill big time , 3 years ago I had the special which was cod, chips, salad, mashy pies, cake and custard and a hot drink all for £7 each and was delicious . Couldn't rate them any higher. Now just the chips and the fish is £10.50 .cake £3,Drink around the same. Chips are horrible ,dry and tasteless. Small fish,hardly any batter. Served on paper which you and up slicing into. You no longer get salad or peas as a side. Service is slow yet plenty of staff. We ordered drinks and ended up having to wait while 2 tables who order after us got their tea before we got our cappuccinos. Which was mainly milk and Luke warm and the girl who served us was lovely but her long 2 inche nails where all over my plate and coffee cup which she spilt as cants hold things with the nails. Staff are all friendly and nice. But it's the food and price thats lost my original high rating.

Good food and service and relaxing atmosphere

Just love their food . Always freshly cooked and proper chips

It was amazing, very clean, very nice looking place. Team was very friendly. Food was very delicious, we had the £9 lunch deal of fish & chips, coffee and dessert. We will be back soon and recommend everyone to come to try the place.

Fish and chips for the family and i 10 out of 10 for the food. Restaurant has a 5 star hygenie rating which is reassuring Dining in wise, the place is relatively spacious Toilets inside are very clean and tidy Food arrived relatively quickly and service from staff was good Definitely recommend

What a great place for lunch, was very busy but managed to get a table for four, great service and food quality, we will visit again when in the area!!

Incredible fish and chips, will come again

Reviews of the chippies and pubs around here are mixed to say the least. We had trouble choosing one. We plumped for Beach 48 and it was fine. Good selection of fish, freshly cooked and good chips. Nice, prompt, smiley service.

A lot of batter in the fish, undercooked fries, tasteless watery coffee, I do not recommend it

It was rather busy, but got served quickly outside! We had a portion of large chips, some cod bites and a battered sausage of which all of it was great! The chips were very hot, thick and fresh a little undercooked for some pallets that prefer a crisper chip, but perfectly fine! I love Haddock I'll give this a try, next time we are down there!

Great food, served quickly inspired of being very busy, you can always tell a good fish and chip shop from the length of the queue

No question about it - THE best fish and chips (the sausages are lovely too). Service is great, staff are very friendly. Fish is done perfectly and so are the chips. See you soon!

The staff are very friendly and helpful, the toilets are clean and well looked after the food is very good very tasty I do recommend it to anyone

Great fish & chips! Our first visit, the staff were friendly, the restaurant was bright & welcoming. The food was delicious, plentiful & not a scrap of ‘grease’ was on our (quickly empty) plates.

Our first visit, lovely food & plenty of it. The staff were friendly & efficient. The fish was delicious, perfectly cooked, light & crispy batter without a trace of ‘grease’ left on our empty plates.

Tasty fish and chips. Poor quality, terrible chocolate milk shake. Still a best place around sea side to have fish and chips.

Disappointing. For all of those reviews I was expecting something more. Chipsa was soggy and had faint colour. I had rock as a fish and it wasn't great either, it definitely could be fried a bit less.

Sorry but this has gone down hill. Chips were ok but very mushy and stuck together. The fish cake was like some cheap Iceland budget choice and the sausage had me on the toilet 2 hours later, you can’t even call it a.sausage it had pink bits in it and probably no more than 20% meat. If this is your business you should provide quality food as you certainly pay a lot for substandard grub in my mind.

So glad I came in here. Food was lovely and had a good deal on £9 for fish & chips, dessert and a drink. The girls and customers were lovely and welcoming, very chatty. Definitely worth a visit.

Had the special very good value. Good service and staff friendly and curtious. Would def come back in the future

Lovely grub, lovely service. A very good place.

Normal choice of fish and chips menu, good prices and well presented. Staff are really helpful. High chairs available for little ones and a good kids menu available. Noticed that staff are happy to move chairs out of the way to accommodate wheelchair users. Will be back again when in the area, hopefully when the weather gets warmer

Not the best chips, very fatty and rather pricey!

Ideal if you fancy something to eat if you're just coming off the beach, reasonably priced and good food

My wife and I had a great time at this Restaurant and could thoroughly recommend it. The staff were really friendly with nothing too much trouble. We had the special fish and chip meal with drink and sweet and came to £18 in all. The meal was delicious and the portions excellent. Now to be our regular eating place when coming down from Bexley to Dymchurch.

Nice food, great service. Would recommend

Everything was very good at Beach 48, however the food could use a little bit of an improvement. The burger was quite dry and the bun kept falling apart, great experience though!

Lovely food and good service. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere.

Just bought a child’s meal and some hot chocolates then realised we could eat in as the baby needed feeding to be told they would charge £2.50 EACH to seat down what a cheek that’s our custom going somewhere else. No wonder places are closing when they take libertys.

Delicious meal for a family of four, 4 large cod and chips, I haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Friendly staff good value for money take away and eat in available inside toilet available would definitely recommend

Great fish and chips wonderful batter and excellent curry sauce. Quick friendly service
