Holly Lanes Fish Inn in Thanet

Ordered a pancake roll and chips from Holly Lane Chip Shop, totaling £11. The presentation was appealing, though there was a noticeable fishy aroma, which was unexpected since no fish was ordered. Taste-wise, the pancake roll was delightful. The chips, while flavorful, could have benefited from a crispier texture and perhaps being cooked in dripping for that traditional touch. The lingering fishy smell was a bit off-putting, especially given the absence of fish in the order. Overall, I'd rate the meal a generous 7 out of 10. The free delivery on orders over £10 was a nice perk and added value to the experience. Despite some minor drawbacks, I would consider ordering again and would recommend it to others seeking a satisfying takeaway.

Amazing service, the fish was a bit too oily but very nice chips and mushy peas.

Lovely fish and chips. Cooked fresh and ate in the sun.

delicious and really good value for money

Food wasn’t great unfortunately, the fish batter was soggy, the chips were really dry and the battered sausages were over done and rock solid. So won’t be ordering from here again

Lovely fish and chips....staring at empty plates! Thank you!

chicken, chips, and a pineapple fritter , lovely. I had a medium salad and it was very nice.

the best fish and chips in our area, amazing order

we ordered this before and loved the freshness unfortunately today the chips were old and most definitely been kept hot for a while they were dry and cold which ruined the fish and chips experience Holly Lane has until tonight had been the best we've found but I'm hesitant to order again

lovely and hot I was very happy

Wicked. These guys know how to deep fry a nice big long juicy sausage - the pea fritter was nice and crispy but moist and smooth in the inside, the chips had a real nice crack on them when I put them in my mouth.

I would say one of the best in Margate. Always freshly cooked.

best chippie by miles. portions are very generous. great tasty food 😋

Always good food and Always nice and hot. Thank you

Good size portions of chips and very tasty. Served in paper, the proper way!

lovely food. Always very hot. Believed in the time given and the man is always very polite

Always good quality, and good service.

lovely fresh chips, crispy thin batter on the fish. very generous portion of whitebait, would have ordered a smaller portion given a choice

Very nice, crispy chips, lovely burgers, just right amount of salad and a nice sauce.

always a pleasure eating food from holly lane .. beautiful

Great quality food was hot and big portions, will definitely buy again.

Beautifully cooked and plenty of it - perfect.

Came in to order take away for family dinner. Shared chips amongest us, making it a lot cheaper, as portions are really big. Great portion sizes and everyone really enjoyed it. Even had a huge salad bar, which I hadn't seen before. So options for everyone. Thank you for a great meal at great value 🌞

Lovely food and really good portions will certainly order from these again.

I had a cod and chips and it was delicious 😋

Hot, fresh, on time. Awesome as ever!

Great fish & chip shop cod is amazing

all good ,just delivered 10mins early and had to be put in the oven to keep warm .....but best early than late though ! 👌

Always amazing. We don’t go anywhere else 😁

Amazingly tasty cod, perfect batter and massive portion of chips. Highly recommend!

Great good. Fish was especially good today. Arrived hot and on time. Cheers.

We order from this restaurant all the time and the food is always amazing, however this time it was very greasy and cold. Definitely not up to usual standards.

Great quality lovely food. Will be ordering again !

Unlike most of the time with KFC, this food was very dry. The chips were overcooked. They were a very dark brown not very happy with the food at all. this is so not like KFC whether I’ll order from them again after this your guess is as good as mine

Sneaky lunch with my daughter, proper portions, reasonably priced, the guys are friendly too

lovely as always ,a regular and never have a bad meal

Very nice food but every time I order salad with my burger I don’t get it

chips were just warm and batter wasn't cooked on plaice meaning the fish was wet and slimy. savaloys and haddock were good

The pea fritters are always delicious, curry sauce was very watery , normally it's much thicker and tastes nicer ... but overall I was happy with the chips,sausage and Burger . It's ashame that salt and vinegar is not added to the order . overall score is 7/10

We love this chip shop food is always good and the chips are yummy.

Great fish & chips! Well wrapped and arrived hot! Will order from here again!

Quality of food and customer service are very good.

Ordered a large plaice, hardly any fish but a huge amount of greasy batter to try to make it look large, very disappointing!

Delicious chips and mushy peas big portion enough for two. Good value, freshly prepared and quick service. Thank you 🙂

Mushy peas was rock hard and the chips was cold

Food hot. Well wrapped. Good quality b

The food is great value for money it was hot and enjoyed every bit of it well done holly lane for always delivering good quality food

good sized portions loved the chicken

excellent food once again 😋 👌

as usual fish excellent chips some ok but lots bits

order arrived 10 minutes late and the drinks were missing from the order phoned the shop was told it would be sorted but still waiting....

Excellent and cooked fresh. Can highly recommend

Fast service considering how busy it is.

Ordered Cod, battered sausage and chips. It was delivered extremely quickly, piping hot food and very delicious! Thanks very much will definitely be ordering again! The delivery driver was also very nice and friendly

another excellent meal delivered on time and in good order 👍, thank you 😊

The best in Thanet, really friendly staff! Highly recommend :)

Ordered at 8:04 delivery finally turnt up at 8:25 then part order was missing with took another 15mins to arrive by that time rest was cold. Waste of food most was thrown.

Food is always hot on delivery , great chips 👍

usual outstanding quality thank you very much 😀.

Food was over 2 hours late. Restaurant cleared order from just eat machine at 19.05 to make it look as tho I had received my order. Restaurant called twice and they where rude. I then had to collect my order myself.

Not only was it 45-60 minutes late but, for the 3rd time in a row something was missing. This time it was 2 Pickled Onions. Again, this is the 3rd time. I think I should be due a refund!!!!!!!

Great chips , slightly crispy,not soggy .Very nice pea fritter , lovely crispy batter and sausage in batter.... hot curry sauce , just had with a bottle of beer and watching the sun set over Margate ...Magic ✨

Very nice, I'll definitely order this again.

Ordered food and never got it not the first time would not use them they rip you off

My family have used Holly Lane for years, the chips and service are always to a high standard. Lovely staff and a great selection on the menu. You can order on the app and then collect when it’s ready. Great place!!

the cod was lovely however the chips were appalling didn't know chips could have so many different shades of brown and all shapes and sizes but very few that looked like a chip they were obviously left over from dinner time the pea fritter was very difficult to cut open so overall unhappy

lovely real chips and great fish!

We had the food delivered and it was horrible. The battered sausages were beef instead of pork and were not very nice and the chips were undercooked and not brown or crispy as they should be. The fish was the only thing cooked properly and the only thing that didn’t go in the bin . Waste of money. Will never use them again.

My first time using Holly Lane chip shop , after a disappointing meal from another local chip shop. So I start with the chips , these were really really nice hot chips , slightly crispy but not soggy chips just how I like them , not oily and the oil used in my opinion was very fresh . The sausage in batter was nice and hot crispy not oily. The chicken and mushroom pie was Luke warm disappointing but it was edible. Curry sauce nice and hot spicy. overall 9/10 would highly recommend Holly Lane

The whole food was not cooked, the sausage pink in the middle. The chips was hard like it needed longer to be cooked and the fish was not cooked

Chips were ok today but not usual standard. Couldn’t put my finger on it but 3 out of 5 said chips weren’t great. All other sausage, burgers and pies were good.

Thank you for the best food going

Great food, but a little slow. But, then at least it was freshly cooked, and cooked properly (although a little expensive)

I was pleasantly surprised at how big my cod was and tasted wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the chips ! I found them to be a bit too thick and slightly undercooked...which was a Shame as the cod was sooo nice.Portion size for the money was very good 👍 *I am pleased to say the chips are now very delicious 😋 and cooked to perfection! Well done Holly Lane chippy !! Full marks 👌 😋 as of end of May 2024 I can honestly say all is Great with Holly Lane Fish bar ! , all utterly delicious 😋

Ordered 2 hours ago and still no food or communication from them. I range them 40 mins ago and they said 10 minutes, still no food!

Superb piece of rock/ rig or the other 1/2 dozen names it goes by, luvly mushy peas, chips, had better, not hot when i got home, a 3 min drive. Very friendly people.

Lovely fish and chips fast delivery

Best fish and chips /burgers by far!!! Share bigger portions saves loads of £ 👍

food was cold the chips had so many black bits all over them..chips tasted nasty. fish was tasty but for a large it was small, I will go back to using my usual chippy.

Food was not greasy, large portions for the price, cod very juicy and meaty, curry sauce tastes delicious but could do with being thicker as was very thin. But would still definitely return.

Open until 9.30 according to Google, closed at 8.20 when I got there. Thanks for that great experience.

The Fish was totally covered in excess oil, so much so, one side was stuck to the wrapping and i couldn't even scrape it off and couldn't eat the rest of it even after sopping up oil with tissue paper, maybe taken straight from fryer to paper with no drain time is my guess. The rest was good/great and delivery was great. Concerned about ordering from here again as my dinner was spoilt by not being able to eat the main dish, the fish.

Love this chippy the best one I've found chips are so fresh best when we walk back from the beach in the evening dog walks .

First class as ever thanks guy's

perfect fish and chips ! , need I say more !?
