Harbour Fish Bar in Shepway

We've tried most of the fish bars in folkestone, ( including sandys) but have found this to be the best, the home made chips are perfect & the cod is cooked just right,not to much batter like 'sandys', just 5 star

Disappointingly short on chips for £3.50, didn't even cover the bottom of the box considering it's the cheapest thing on the order to bulk up the meal. Good few youngsters working who might want to re-think if they'd like to be in a customer facing role, but was tasty food, apart from being very little for the price.

I purchased two portions of large chips on Sunday at noon. Although the price was a bit steep at £5 per portion, that wasn't the main issue. The chips had a bad taste, and the smell was off. I'm not sure if the problem was due to low-quality or old oil, or just bad potatoes. Unfortunately, the food was inedible and ended up in the bin.

Sadly, the entire order ended up in the bin because we couldn't eat it.

The best fish and chips I have had in a very long time.fresh fish from the sea. Prices very reasonable and portions decent.will defo come again.

Not the best I'm afraid, wouldn't visit again, not value for money and the food was only just ok

Quite a queue of people which was good news because we had all been given a number that we were told would be called out when our meal was ready. Staff very friendly and quick on their toes, keeping us updated on the progress of our order. Piping hot, generous portions. Very busy shop for most of the day and night, a testament to the quality of food from this vendor. Will be going back there when I visit Folkestone next August. Keep it up!

Great value for money, staff friendly very helpful shared the Fish equally so both my autistic children could have piece each kids loved the food great that we could sit in so we didn't have to eat in car

decent enough chips but this place doesn’t allow you to put your own vinegar on the chips, this is totally unacceptable and i will not support a place that’s going to argue over 0.01pence worth of product.

Great service, especially from the tall gentleman taking orders :)

Went here for dinner after coming to the beach for the evening safe to say will never be returning! The food itself was awful not cooked properly soggy and slimey quietly spoke to the owner and asked for a re fund he then proceed to by very up tight and refused to refund even tho he could see the food quality was shocking! The whole restaurant was dirty dusty and dropped food dirt etc all over the floor. The cooks was touching raw meet and fish then touching cooked food to place in the warmer never again will we be returning. Will always go to the other fish and chip shop down the road now no customer service or any decent food!

Absolutely shocking service, felt so unwelcomed and felt like an inconvenience rather than a customer, chips weren't salted or vinegared and the offer wasnt there. All sauces even the little satches of ketchup were not free and unfairly expensive. From when we stepped into the shop to when we left (for takeway) took 25 minutes.Definetly just go down the road to the other fish and chips place which is cheaper as well

Says you close at 8 pm Sunday Got there 6.30 and it was shut.

Excellent quality fresh fish and chips. Plentiful portions.

I came here in the evening and had haddock and chips - perfectly cooked and very tasty

Fish (cod) was excellent Chips leave much to be desired

Great food. Friendly staff. Clean. Good prices..

Fish and chips don't come much better than this. Clean tables and friendly staff, and excellent food cooked to perfection. There are a few good chips shops in Folkestone but this is by far the greatest. We travel from Hastings to enjoy Folkestone and usually eat here.

Went here today with my 4 grandchildren & nephew. They were absolutely fantastic & patient, the lady that served us was absolutely lovely. Will definitely be going back soon 😊

Wasn't very busy staff didn't seem interested and didn't seem to know what they where doing. And the chips where very under cooked

Food was ok. Cooked to order. Friendly service. Decor a bit dated. Server was good with the kids.

Great people and very decent food

Chunky Cod and chips cooked fresh to order was crispy and delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating inside or takeaway service. Definitely worth a try.

Food is very nice. Experienced abit of a wait due to how busy they were. Very popular place.

Very nice people & Dogs are welcome

Food was great lovely we go there quite lot

We ate in and it was excellent food and excellent service, but most of all good value for money. Now need to fill up to a hundred characters

Have eaten in twice during the past 9 months (ie 2023 into Jan 23). Both times in the late afternoon on our way home from visiting family. The cafe was quiet with few other diners in sight. We ordered cod and chips (with mushies for me too) and tea. The fish was a good size, looked fresh and tasted delicious on both occasions. The chips were enjoyable too, cooked just right with what seemed fresh oil. It wasn't cheap but prices have been going crazy since Brexit and in that context is felt like fair value for the money. Service was fine too. Maybe the place has changed hands? What we experienced is worlds away from some of the experiences people have had on the past. I hope the quality we enjoyed is maintained without above inflation price increases.

Excellent Cod and Chips, the Halloumi Fries are delicious with sweet chilly dip

bad stale chips. very cold. food wasn’t nice at all, food came so quick and had all my friends thinking it was sus.

This was terrible. Chips were the worst I’ve ever had, would fin better in a freezer. My saveloy sausage was brown which I’ve never had before. Disgusting scammers

Rock and chips are amazing and even better with the lovely bread rolls they sell.

The chips have a taste of really old and used chip oil. Not a very nice taste at all. Wouldnt recommend and will never return.

Always like it here when I visit with my family. Good prices as well which is surprising considering its right by the sea front. The food is good quality as well

Undercooked chips and all I can say is several hours after eating the fish I lost a few lbs in weight. (No one else in our group ate the fish) The place isn't particularly clean either and FYI they cook in Peanut oil which isn't signposted in my opinion clearly enough.

Meilleur fish and chips du monde. Merci pour votre très bon accueil. C'est notre 2e fois dans cet endroit et ça ne sera pas la dernière 👍🏻

Food was lovely but noticed cobwebs and flies on the wall which turned me off.

Typical fish & chips place with a view! Super nice location & tasty food. But no vinegar for me on the chips! (fries) :P

Guter Fish and Chips laden am Hafen.

Best chippy I have been to for a long time.

J'ai mangé de bien meilleur fish and chips.

Had a nice meal with family, waitresses very sweet and helpful

Friendly service and freshly cooked food. Even brought out to my car !

Best fish n chips in folkestone

Had large chips which looked unappealing as they had no colour and were barely cooked as they were rushed out to waiting customers, the quality of the potatoes was really bad, you would struggle to find a chip that didn't have a black rotten bit on it which you had to constantly break off.

What a dissappintment,cod and chips take away £10 per portion. The chips were undercooked and cold, as though they had been hanging about for a couple of hours, the batter on the fish was soggy and not hot as it was supposidly freshly cooked a real let down.

One of the worst places ever! the staff were extremely rude especially the young girl on the counter, we were told we couldn't eat in even if we didn't use plates and cutlery. they didn't ask or offer salt and vinegar and the food was small portions and flavorless.

So mixed past reviews. Usual place closed so ventured into Folkestone and tried the Harbour Fish bar. Jumbo Sausage and chips twice. Hot and tasty with VERY polite service by a young lady 10/10. Witnessed a kind gesture too towards a Hungry Ex Serviceman. Much credit to the owner. We will be back.

Merci pour votre accueil Nour sommes venu en famille Avant de reprendre le ferry vers la France. Le fish and chips vraiment très bon, bien cuit les frites fraîches très bonnes. Le service impeccable Le jeune serveur très gentille Le patron sympathique Je recommande à 100%

No idea what is not to like. Tasty and fresh food. Proper portions. Knocks it out of the park. We be back

Just in Folkestone for one night. Popped in here for a fish and chip supper. Have to say it is the best fish and chips ever. Fresh and lightly fried, very tasty, excellent. I would show a picture, but too late, all gone! Delicious.

Pies were hard chips were cold never again battered sausage was hard an cold over done

Visited for our fish and chip dinner with my wife and 4 year old. My wife and I had fish chips and curry sauce and a battered sausage for my daughter with a few of our chips. We all had plenty and was nice.

Classic seaside fish & chips shop. Great food and customer service.

Service was slow, food wasn't great, they limited ketchup and the place was quite run down. It might be that we went during a bad time but even so they should advise people there would be a delay.

No sugar or spoon given with coffee. Sausage in batter overcooked. When mentioned to them all they said was "sorry about that"

Living in Folkestone I can tell you this place is probably the worst and most overpriced fish and chips in town. Convenient when walking along the leas. Very unfriendly staff. Who stare at a customer blankly when they ask for water then direct them to buy it from the fridge. They messed up my order and I waited ages even though I was number 2 in the queue. 3 and 4 served before me and I was a simple order. Rude staff. Charge a lot for very little and service definitely does not come with a smile. Also it has a very greasy spoon vibe in there. Decor not updated in decades I imagine. Not sure what warrants their high prices. Maybe it’s the location. Next to the stunning icon. The Grand Burston. I’d avoid if you can. It’s a trap.

Great fish and chips and service.

Great fish and chips, and service, will definitely come again

All happy well done will come back again

Delicious as always, family favourite.

Excellent food,atmosphere and Service with a kind smile.

C'est un passage OBLIGATOIRE quand je viens en Angleterre 👍🇬🇧 Voilà qui est un vrai fish and chips. Le patron et l'ensemble du personnel est au top

Very good quality fish and chips

Fish was over cooked and they charged me for ketchup!! Over priced

Great service from the team, food was lovely and hot also very tasty...thoroughly enjoy every time we come down to Folkestone, only place I'll eat 😋

Ordered sausage & chips, was not cooked properly (still cold and hard) as they charged £7 for them we returned … they argued that they were cooked and refused to do anything, after pushing they took the tray from us and threw everything back into the same fryer … when he saw the shock on our face he told us nothing to worry, the temperature will kill any bacteria so it’s safe …. This prompted us to look behind the counter only to find it was DISGUSTING& FILTHY… we will be reporting to the council to avoid anyone getting ill …. There are so many other nice, clean takeaways and restaurants in the area we would recommend avoiding this one at all costs!!

Very good always go there when I'm in Folkestone

Got 3 small sausages an 4 chips an an 2 large battered sausages an come up to £29 then wants extra for sauce when eating in, battered sausages were not nice an there batter was soggy won't be going back here

Food is cooked in peanut oil and they didn't allow our friend who is allergic to come back with other fish and eat with us.

Had lunch here and it was awful

Loved it here, well priced and staff were friendly. Good size portions and seemed to be clean and hygienic.

Nice place, we were served by a brunette girl, so polite and welcoming and didn’t rush me when I was ordering (which I appreciate) she seemed very professional, great staff :)

Richtig guter Fisch 🐟. Unscheinbar, aber mega lecker. Zu empfehlen. Kommen gerne wieder 🥰

had a lovely meal yesterday here and the service was very nice and friendly, all was going well intill the rude gentleman came close to knocking me off my chair as he passed ( did not apologise) and sat there thinging he owned the place, he was very rude to the kind young lady who served him i could clearly see she did nothing wrong poor girl hopefully the gentleman dont come back as you dont need rude customers like that, apart from that the bar is very nice and friendly i always visit and the service is always top notch 5 star.

very nice food, very nice service from the young lady, will be back again. 02,09,22

Came here on August 17th for my favourite chip shop go to Rock and chips with a buttered roll . Served in good time and really enjoyable and tasty.

Lovely food cooked well. A large menu to choose from.

Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Everything. EVERYTHING about this experience was bad. But the worst was the actual fish and chips. They managed to overcook the fish but undercook the batter. The fish was discoulered and was not cod as advertised. Unless you are starving and everywhere is closed. No not even then. It's too bad. Eat some sand or something

Very nice lovely chips, not cheap but not too bad

It started to pour down and they let people stay in until the rain stopped...very people friendly...good meals.

Excellent food. Very big portions. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside. Reasonably priced. Definitely come again!!!

Bought a small bottle of water as a take away cost £1.50 bit on expensive side, but go with that, but when I asked for a small plastic cup cost went up an extra 30p........

Nothing special, just a fish and chip shop

Very friendly staff, halal turkish owned fish shop, they even do hot drinks.

Very nice food, it s a fish and chips, lovely poch and smile customer service,a lot of choice ,Burgers the best.i got a big portion of fish and chips,very tasty. Well done guys, Absolutely I will be there next time

The food is excellent and the stuff very friendly and always ready to help. I recommend it from the heart!

Great food and service, one of the best Fish & Chips in Folkestone, highly recommend!

Not happy you buy Fish and chips and have to pay extra for sauces

Not wort the price for cod and chips 11 pound and kids meal with one small sausage which taste horrible i am sorry but i leave the shop hungry

The most insane tasting onion vinegar wow something special about it. Really good chip shop I have it saved on google maps I am coming back next time I am there.

I couldn't believe the prices! & 11 for a small fish, cod, and chips! It was cooked fresh to order. Place looked clean. Radio in background was not tuned right and was very annoying while you're trying to enjoy your food.

Best fish in reasonable price except the cost of tomato sauce 😅

If you ignore the run down area this gem of a chip shop was more than I would have expected. Courteous and helpful not to mention how fresh the food was. Definitely a go to takeaway. Hope the area will gain some regeneration in the near future.

Dog friendly but maybe because not that busy ,Great Cod and Chips batter was Lovely large piece of fish

Very average food. Anything other than cod is not worth it. Additional charge even for ketchup and mayo which is surprising and never heard of. Other than its location, there is nothing going much for this place

Awful food. Ordered small chips, small sausage and a can £5.50! Chips were dry and tasteless. Sausage was just disgusting mush in the middle. Binned the lot. Seemed very unprofessional.

We tried to come here for fish and chips but eventually left without ordering. There was no one else waiting to order when we arrived, 4 members of staff who ignored us and every time we tried to order we were told 2 minutes. We waited 20 mins and left after they then decided to serve a family who arrived after us.

Cheapest possible sausage, inedible and grey inside. My friend had plaice and chips, arrived in thick soggy batter, dripping with oil. Overpriced and not edible. Disgusting
