Humphrey's Of Allington in Maidstone

Good fish n chips overall, especially for an ‘inland’ chippy, ie not by the sea. We always have a small, a large cod and chips, not tried anything else other than the mushy peas. Cod is white and meaty and sizing is good, the batter is fresh tasting and crispy and the chips are much better than most places, with only the odd one or two over cooked. We don’t live nearby but travel to this one as not impressed with any in Maidstone and bearsted.

Of all the places in Maidstone, Humphrey’s is the best. Living in town we’ve got a chippy a 3 min drive away, but always choose to drive to Allington to order from Humphreys instead, which we often do once or twice a week.

How do you mess up a burger that badly? Never used this place before and it was disgusting. Yuk. Wont be ordering from here again.

Usually very good but this time ended up in the bin. I did hear one of the servers if he was still hungover (post England teaching the final in Euros)

First time here. Fair prices in comparison to others I've seen, (actually very good prices). Biggest piece of large size Cod I've had from a chippy. The Gov' was pleased with hers so both very satisfied.

Very disappointed with my last two visits. The seniors specials are obviously cooked first and kept warm until served. The batter was soggy and the fish dry. What's happened to cooking to order?

Food is always great from here, never had any issues and staff are lovely.

Best fish and chips I've had in this area. As good as my favourite chippy in Newquay. Had the kids cod and chips fir £5.50 and the cod was chunky skinless loin and not the cheap bitter dry tail.

Have used this fish and chip shop for a number of years but service is slipping. Told we would have to wait 10-15 minutes for the food to be cooked but it took closer to 30 minutes. They were busy but no attempt to apologise for the delays especially as people were coming in after me and getting served quicker for the same food. I make no excuse for being grumpy. Will be complaining to Chris next time I see him.

Waited 35 minutes for chips 2 weeks ago, 20 mins for chips a week ago and tried tonight and told both of my cards were declined!! I suggested their machine may be at fault but was given the response “it works for others” surprise surprise Papa’s accepted my cards. Tried to complain privately to the owner but no response to my messenger message.

Please serve customers in the order they arrive instead of ignoring them and serving others who came in after.

Batter was so soggy on large cod it just turnt to mush. Oil tasted as though it hadn’t been changed in a while so chips, fish cake etc tasted horrible. Wouldn’t even waste my time entering to grab a wooden fork in future. Yuk!

Lived in 3 places in the south east, and this is hands down my favourite fish and chips takeaway. Big portions, always cooked to perfection. Just had a piece of rock and some calamari that were both as soft as butter. Thank you and well done 👏.

Ordered from just eat and the food arrived undercooked, oliy and soggy the portions were tiny and chips were like mush. When I called I was offered a refund and then it was refused the next day when followed up with just eat. Very disappointed I'll stick to using big chains from now on and not small business at least they have better standards in quality and customer service. Just to add, I would have been happy to give the food back and have it redone but was offered a refund before it was suggested and the reply to this review is a perfect example of the poor service and lack of care.

I am waiting on a refund that I will never get the whole £32 order went in the bin I ordered on just eat and it came completely covered in oil wasn't left to drain when my husband called they said we would get a refund I was then told by just eat that no refund will be given as shop has refused refund. The advice we were given on the phone was try it yeah thanks I'm pregnant and it was clearly under cooked fish thanks just to let you know it's actually dangerous for under cooked fish to be consumed by a pregnant woman! Don't give this advice in future please. Would really like my money back and for you guys to just double check quality control before sending. My parents use you all the time for years so they recommend you and the dinner was for them as well they were appalled you sent food out like that. I get everyone has off days and I hope to give a better review in future but stand by your word of a refund!!!

Ordered Cod and Chips and 2 jumbo sausages as a treat. The chips were cooked to perfection and the cod was extremely tasty. The sausages were for a 10 Yr old labradoodle. Im sure he enjoyed at least one of them as the other mysteriously dissapeared on the journey from my house to his 😆 Thankyou Humphrey's for a lovely dinner

Great food Fantastic service Fish chips n mushy peas 👌👍

Excellent fish and chips. Always fresh, although I always have a small cod it’s always quite large. Excellent burgers and half price on Thursday. Even had them for our wedding reception last year. Placed a large order for about 25 meals and all our guests praised the food.

Excellent fish and chips. It was the thickest piece of fish I have had in a long time. Very moist and tasty.

Firstly the chips were very big and cut un proportional with lots of green marks all over them , secondly there was a hair the size and smell of a pube must have been the chip cutters job. Sack the chip cutter !!

Food was still lovely and hot when delivered, seafood cooked perfectly, as was the cod and the burger we had. Will definitely use again. Price spent is total order not per person. Great value compared to other chip shops in Maidstone

Great local chippy by far proper fish and chip shop

Best fish and chip shop in the local area. On deliveroo as well. Such good chips I can't praise them enough.

Never seems to be a large piece of cod compared to other local chip shops ! Portion size always small🤨

UPDATE 4 JULY 2022 I ordered 1x xtra large cod and 1 large portion of chips which I shared with my other half (NOTE this was a very fulfilling meal) , this was ample for both of us. The quality was excellent, one of the best fish and chips I have ever had. If I get the same quality of food and friendly customer service next time I visit, I will upgrade to 5stars. The large cod and normal portion of chips was a real challenge, in the future I will order the small cod. If you are also visiting other retailers at the centre be aware that there are limitations on the time you can park your vehicle free of charge. Note when we shopped at Humphrey's we paid by Amex and saved £5 in their Shop Small promotion.

Large portions each time food always piping hot.

Value for money, good food. Some staff are very friendly, these are the younger staff.. they are lovely and helpful.

went to this chippy ,,asked for two large cod chips got to my car was given 2 small pieces of fish ,,one was mainly batter and very little cod ,,wrapped it all up and took it back,,where i was told we given small portions which i never asked for,bit of banter in shop ..in the end was given one bit of fish back and and went on my way with my same cold chips in hand paid 16 pound for all this with 2 drinks ,very small portions of fish i will not use this chip shop in future.

Come here a little too often but the quality and service is outstanding Always greeted with a wonderful smile so the day on the dust carts is great knowing the great food is appreciated and customer service is outstanding, always on my possible break time stop off 😀

Amazing fresh fish and chips, such great service and really friendly staff. Have been using them for 4 years+ and they never disappoint. Thanks so much!

Always top quality fish and chips are just right (not to dry or greasy). The staff are always friendly and helpful. Pleasure to buy from here.

was disappointed my daughter wanted to by us dinner and she ordered and paid for a large chips for us to share and 8 chicken nuggets for each of us when she got home and we looked we had one lot of 8 nuggets and one with 7 in and a small portion of chips

Always good quality fish. Gluten free options Monday and Tuesday too. Good prices, The staff are friendly, full covid safe processes. Wouldn't buy my fish and chips anywhere else.

excellent fish and chips and soso friendly staff . Great value .

Fish and chips - brilliant! Customer Service - simply the best!! ☺️

Humphrey's seem to be doing everything right in these sad covid times. Service from the young girls working in the shop was excellent, very friendly and polite and our fish & chips was excellent. One very happy and full family in my house.

Excellent fish and chips. Have been using this shop for years, and have never had poor service, and always great quality fish and chips. A treasure for our community!

The worst fish I have ever had, such a shame when it is supposed to be a treat. Fish looked anaemic and was greasy beyond belief, I literally feel sick thinking about it again. The batter wasn't crispy in the slightest, I would actually describe it as slimy. The chips were OK although a little cold (probably because we had them delivered though) and we were missing a portion. The Customer Service on the phone was incredibly unprofessional, the female member of staff really couldn't care less. There was no apology or offer of recompense. And owner before you think you are clever in responding to my review and attempt to write it off because my surname is the same as the previous negative review, yes I am the wife of the previous reviewer, but I am also entitled as a customer to review the product you provided to me. You don't appear to take constructive criticism well but as you have said in your previous responses that you rely on honest and sincere feedback I thought this might help.

Rubbish fish and chips made us all sick for about a week avoid you can see here the owner clearly dint like when he is challenged on all the bad feedback. Fish was cold in middle just like this other guys experience here, chips were dripping in fat too, we been coming here a while but must admit it's been going down hill a while now wont be returning. Let's see what the owner has to say now

Paid for 2x large chips, only received 1 lot. Phoned the rude woman at this place who couldn't care less. If that was me I would have sent another one straight away. Not only this but they were the WORST fish and chips we have ever had disgusting, trading standards been informed, SEE REPLY so I have been abusing their system i will be taking this up with them direct now. Also very interesting considering thr lady on the phone admitted to forgetting to add the chips. Disgusting way to run a business shame on you. Hope you go bust!!

Lovely food, great service. Chips are AMAZING!

Had a great day and mostly enjoyed the fish and chips thanks so much.

Good size portion, excellent quality fish.

The food is fine when the boss is there.

Tried Humphreys for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Nice, crisp and fresh tasting. They weren't greasy at all. Great price too.

Lovely fresh fresh and chips twice a day. Very tasty.

Had the best fish and chips, service was brilliant and the staff were very friendly. Best price around town, wouldn’t want to buy my fish and chips anywhere else.

Best fish n chips we had for ages

Would like to see more competition and more quality in Allington, currently have to drive to Family's at Barming for good value and high quality food

Used this chippy for years but I came in last week and the chips were white and soggy and went straight in the bin. Came in the week before and they were orange and looked like they had been fried twice. These went in the bin too. I will give them one more chance unfortunately.

Best fish and chips in Maidstone

As always the staff and food were great. This is by far the best fish and chips in the area with friendly staff and freshly cooked food without exception. A+ quality and service !

Best fish and chip shop around, fantastic chips! Will definitely be returning

I love this chip shop but came in on Thursday and the chips were disgusting soggy and dripping it fat. Had to throw them straight in the bin. I hope this is one off

Our go to chippy when we are in the area. Try the battered mushrooms... they are delicious!

Some of the best fish in Maidstone! Very good prices and always a great service!

Love this place,best chippy in Maidstone. Food is fantastic and stafff are so friendly and nothing is to much bother!! No other fast food place touches this chippy.. Also now does Deliveroo. Yipee

We visit Humphrey's every pay day, everyone in the office is always eager to order. We all love the lunchtime specials. Lovely team working there. Will always be our local go to for a payday lunch.

Excellent finish with the best batter.

Always our first choice on a Friday night, great fun and friendly staff, and the food... Well it just can't be faulted.. Especially the awesome cod and chips! (and mushy peas!!) Keep up the great work Humphrey's!!

Love this place, best around for miles! Food is fabulous. Gluten fish and chips is now avaiable,my mum was well chuffed! Best chippy in maidstone

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time! Great quality and one of the cleanest shops I've ever been in. Well worth going back!

A good local chippy. We use it fairly infrequently but have never had a bad meal. Fish and chips seems more expensive than I would imagine but I think this place is about average compared to other local shops. Place always seems very clean. Good portion sizes and is generally fairly busy.

Fantastic fish and chips, always come here when we're in the area - definitively some of the best fish and chips I've had anywhere.

I drive for miles to get the best fish chips, I do not understand the negative review and is not my experience. We felt compelled to write a review. Myself, my wife and daughter really look forward to Pie, Cod and Sausage all with chips, It's always clean and the staff are really friendly

Cannot agree with the 2 other reviews, nor can my friends & neighbours who have used this shop & refuse to go back. Unhygienic -young lads turning up from the back room & handling food without washing hands or using gloves to handle non-fish/chip food. For vegetarians sausage/saveloys all cooked in the same fryer as the fish. Totally over priced & with poor customer service & attitude & poor quality & poor tasting fish & chips.

Used them for years as failed to find any other Chippy that comes close! Fresh high quality food!

Great sausage and chips, very clean establishment which is rare for a chippy ! Good price and service
