Kingfisher Fish & Chips in Hastings

I expected better given the ratings. Unfortunately, the fish was so oily it was dripping onto the plate. The waitress forgot half the order, and even forgot the lemon slices. She looked very not bothered, not even smiling once. Fish was tasteless. Don't recommend.

Started quite rocky with the guy who was cooking behind the counter, Damien I think his name is. So I go up to the counter and asked if they do Kebab as obviously there are some Fish and Chip shops out there that do Kebab. His response was " We are a Fish and Chip Shop" to then I thought it was a bit rude but quite obvious to me as well as it says that outside. Then my Mrs asked him if what was in the bottle of sauce on the table was Tartar Sauce and his reply was plain rude once again. She wouldn't have asked that question if the bottles where labeled. He managed to redeem himself though after I demolished the 8oz Home-made Burger, that was amazing. That's why I gave a 4 star. P.S thanks for letting me use your big satellite ears to write this review, signal isn't good inside the FISH AND CHIP SHOP. Respect and big up for that Damo. Work on those Customer Service Skills though and less off the rudeness (where you even admitted to your staff that's how you are) and maybe I could have given you a better review with 5 starts. We did have a laugh at the end though but a shame for the start off.

Quick lunch whilst touristing. 10 of us plus dietary needs. We'll looked after. Would come again.

Very good fish and chips. Curry sauce nice. Mushy peas tasted fresh.

We've used this restaurant many times over the years. Not been to Hastings for a while, and today we took advantage of the OAP special, cod and chips, tea or coffee, bread and butter for £9.50 each. The fish was superb, fresh, hot, lovely crispy batter, and their onion rings were also very good. The standards have never dropped, lovely happy staff, and you can't go wrong. Try it, at £9.50 a head, it was more than enough for a great British treat at lunchtime!

Waited over an hour for delivery was later than end time of delivery and food was ordinary

my order is not bin delivered and i have pay for it

but the food was hot and so good too eat phone them and was told very busy but food will be hot that was true

Fish was lovely, only thing I would suggest is with the pancake rolls, if we could order one instead of two, that would be great.

Great food. Always good gluten free cod and chips and kids chicken burger.

Didn't get my food until a hour later! it was cold! it really is a good thing that there's a number of places that offer the same things. I don't need a special to keep me loyal.

Do not order it took 2 hours to arrive and it was stone cold on arrival

Friendly staff, fresh cooked food, actually open when their hours said unlike some other chippies nearby!

Arrived hot enjoyed by all lovely delivery man

Great fish and chips, excellent service!

fantastic piece of fish and the chips were perfect!

Great food, beautifully cooked. Excellent chips & superb light batter on fish.

The fish and chips arrived early. They were top class. Highly recommended

lovely fish and chips ,ascwas the pie and saveloy, would highly recommend 👍

Perfect as usual excellent service food was great as well

Excellent cod, for a Small size it was quite big and nicely cooked.

Excellent experience! Crispy, generous portions, of fish and (slightly soft) thick chips (of which I don't mind at all), all arrived piping hot! Delicious! Kind of them to add extra sachets of salt, vinegar and other types of sauces. Fantastic! Thank-you kindly x

Delicious fish and chips, chilli sauce, curry sauce and very professional and polite and helpful staff thank you very much. Will be back next time.

always enjoy the food from The Kingfisher

What a lovely lunch/dinner we had here today for my birthday the cod was amazingly huge and tasty, my omelette was scrumptious thankyou to the lovely staff and chef

Huge portions, fresh and well cooked. Definitely adding this to my gluten-free takeaway list 😁

Kingfisher serves the best battered fish in hastings. Loved the taste.

Oh how I'd missed you guys xxx The Chippys were lush as ever. They are still without a doubt the best chips in town. I love the oil you use...they taste like roast potatoes. Hmmmmm....seems a sin to cover with gravy, but bangers chips n gravy is gorgeous. Thank you ❤❤🙏 xx

Amazing and so tasty as always!

absolutely beautifully cooked food was piping hot and fresh first time using you guys and will definitely be using you from now on oh and the medium cod was more like a large so extremely happy thanks guys

Ever since my partner introduced me to the KingFisher, I've never since had fish and chips anywhere else. The chips are always the perfect crisp and not greasy. The fish is just perfect, I can't describe it any other way. Ive never had any missing items neither which is always my biggest worry with take aways. A big thankyou and well done to the owner and staff!!

Excellent service, good quality food

Very quick delivery, amazing fish & chip , mushy peas are the best we've had! Definitely ordering again :)

Super quick and super tasty and great portion sizes!

fantastic will order again soon

I have not received my order????? where is it???? Not at my home.

Best burgers in Hastings !!!!!!

Superb fish n chips Excellent service x John n Heidi x

We love coming here. We are not from Hastings but when we come to visit we stop by here and I get my Gluten Free cod with chips and it’s hands down the absolute best gluten free batter I’ve ever had!! It’s thick, golden and crispy. Just perfect and reminds me of normal battered fish I use to have many many years ago.

food turned up on time polite driver amazing food and plenty of it would definitely order again

This place is brilliant always lovely never ever have I had a bad meal from here and delivery driver is brilliant he knows we have dogs and they are a nightmare he always shuts the gate and says ready lol 😂

Ordered for delivery at 21:30 but arrived at 21:00.

sent wrong item . menu says battered mushrooms but they sent breaded mushrooms

absolutely the best fish and chips shop in hastings by a mile

Delicious fish and chips. Great salad as a starter. Nice and helpful staff.

Best fish and chips I've had in a long while. Decent size portions compared to my home town.

Wow. That's it, really. Nicest bacon cheese burger i have ever had. First time visitor, but it won't be my last. It's worth a try. Expensive yes but it's a sea side resort. Very very nice

wow. was best bacon cheese burger and chips i have had. first time here but not the last

never had a bad order, always as quick as is possible, like 20 minutes from ordering to at my door, always lovely fish, always more chips than we can eat.

Grumpy service. Close to being hostile. Chips OK.

Definitely an amazing fish and chips shop. Definitely recommend to everyone who goes Hastings to try kingfisher chips shop. 10/10 place

Fish and chips was good, crispy on the outside juicy on the inside.

For once the food was hot and delicious

hot, fast, big portions, great taste

SPOT ON THE DRIVER WAS VERY HELPFUL...TOP MARKS

Gluten free menu available! We had gluten free fish & chips and gluten free sausage & chips. Tasty and reasonably priced 👍🏼

Went yesterday with my partner, he had the oap fish & chips, I had curry & chips, it was delicious 😋 and very reasonable price, would definitely recommend it

Delivered very delish great chips

Once again Exallant food quickd livery and welcomed with a smile

Tried this place as it caters for people with gluten free allergy. Since being diagnosed with celiac disease 3 year's ago the one thing I've been longing for was cod & chips. This chippy was amazing, cod & chips melted in my mouth. Even brought gluten free vinager from them.

Waiting staff are very good looks inviting from outside and the waiting time for our food was quite quick.Thats it .we had cod and chips and a coke at a whopping 18.50 each my partner said hers looked like a different fish it was pink looking and wet and mushy in texture. I agreed as my cod was similar and felt like it had been frozen which you wouldn't have thought at a seaside resort. Most people that have reviewed this restaurant have had good experience but I definitely have not. Iv frozen my fish at home and it has the same effect the fish losing its texture. Disappointed not returning

The food is always hot and is amazing

Always a lovely place to go for food, we always go here when we go to hastings the food is a good price, the staff are always so kind and happy to help and look happy to be there. We always enjoy our meal. If you're ever in hastings would highly recommend this place. We've been going for nearly 2 years now. They know us and we can have a laugh and a joke with them. A great atmosphere to eat food in

amazing fish, cooked well , not greasy , chips were perfect , 10/10

Food wash not very warm when it arrived

Just what I needed after a day on the beach.

Arrived on time and hot but missing an item, called the restaurant who delivered the missing item within 10 minutes. Food as always fab

not received apparently my order but got nothing, not answering calls. i

The best fish and chips we have ever had, delivered Promptly , very hot, chips were crisp and golden, would highly recommend, we will be going back.

Very good quality fish and chips, and ready quite quickly as well. However, the girl that took our order was grumpy.

Amazing food delivered in super fast time

The chip quality has declined in recent months. They are often hard and undercooked. They always used to be perfect.

Was very impressed with the way everyone is really organised and stays focused food was amazing will defo go again very tidy and clean

Quality food,good service, payed more for less at other venues within Hastings. Over all very Happy to revisit. Thankyou.

I asked for 1 large fish and chips and server brought out a sausage and chips. We said no we wanted 1 large fish and chips, so she brought out 2. Whatever, we just had the 2 fish and chips and 2 drinks. Cost £30. Idk what size the fish and chips were, maybe they were large, but didn't seem like it. In any case, £30 for 2 fish and chips and 2 drinks? Ouch.

Good food as usual Cooked well Quick delivery Highly recommend

Really lovely food. I have to eat gluten free food. Very difficult to get a take away with Gluten free. Scampi and chips were really good. Thank you

Great little place to eat. We visited for the first time this weekend on our seaside trip and will definitely return when we come back to Hastings! The lady who served us was so friendly and great with the kids. The food was delicious - best seaside chips we have ever had. Thank you!

Excellant food Had problems with delivery driver so my order was late But kingfisher txt me about what was happening and i got my food lol They even gave me an extra milkshake Thanku kingfisher

Very good restaurant. Kodfish (cod), for example, is absolutely top quality. Very good side dishes. And the large portion is almost enough for 2 people...

Usually get from here and are completely happy but todays was far from nice.. Portions were terrible for the price n very very greesy.. Not worth it at all

Service was slow, we were a group of about 6 adults. The guy serving & cooking really couldn't have been more disinterested. We were very disappointed as we had read some great reviews.The layout of the service counter area is just inside the door so we felt very cramped. There were also delivery drivers coming in & out, so perhaps they should address this problem. We couldn't sit down because another staff member had moped the floor, which also made it slippery.There was a lack of interest from everyone , hygiene standards were low the chap doing the cooking took a fag break then went straight back to finish cooking our food. Did not see him even attempt to wash his hands afterwards.Only my 2nd time at Kingfisher sadly will not be going back there.

I came here with my family for lunch. Food was absolutely amazing and cooked very well. Staff is really nice and very friendly environment.

Didn't eat in so I don't know what the atmosphere was like. I only had sausage and chips, the sausage was great the chips were the best I've had in a long time. I've not found a chippy near me (I live about an hour away from Kingfisher. Next time I'm in Hastings and I want fish and chips I will definitely go back there.

The best fish and chips and the delivery service was 5 stars brilliant

For how expensive this was, the food quality was awful. Chips were cold and the fish was so wet that the batter had turned to slop.

Portion sizes are tiny this used to be a good place will not be using Kingfisher again. We paid 36 quid for two fish and chips absolute rip-off.

Fab, quick stop off here, what a little gem. Reasonably priced food and lordy lord ordered small fish, it was big. The battery was so light and all very fresh. I was stuffed! Waitress was blinking brilliant, it was just a nice friendly little spot. Oh and worth noting Yorkshire Tea not some cheap tea bags. Infact all decent brands of condiments, bread, drinks etc, not cheap alternatives!

Lovely and fresh food, nice staff and best curry sauce we've ever had at a chip shop.

Wrong order sent I ordered gluten free and this wasnt made me really itchy and gave me red blotches on my face so need a refund

always happy to order from here, food is always good, delivery drivers are lovely very polite never have a complaint

It was very tasty. I would just like to know which vinegar you have, it's really great. Thank you for the delicious food Your Jonas

very good portions, chips how I like them.

We chose this restaurant as it looked clean and nice from the outside. The service was friendly and quick and the fish and chips were absolutely amazing. Honestly the best I have had in years and years. 100% recommended. Good value too!

Really nice food and plenty of it. Only slight issue was the fish getting stuck to the paper. Will order from here again.

Superb, fast delivery, crispy chips, not greasy, korkers sausage, will order from here again loved it

GO TO SEASIDE FISH BAR HASTINGS IT WAS BRILLIANT IT MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

Where this has always been my go to fish and chips shop unfortunately this from today will change. They have obviously spent a lot of money on their new shop frontage and this is definitely reflected in their prices and portion sizes. 2 medium cod and large chips ( which is barely a medium now) £24 I am very disappointed considering the staff know me and even said about me being a regular customer. However the fish was very good quality. I will now frequent another establishment as there are several to choose from. Normally you find one and stick with them as I've done. Now I know I'll make no difference but as I rarely make reviews felt this necessary.

My entry on 24th was harsh because I was angry. I would like to point out the food would have been SENSATIONAL as usual had the driver not been late and it became too cold to eat. So my stars only really reflect the delivery. THE KINGFISHER WILL ALWAYS BE WINNERS AT PROVIDING THE BEST FISH N CHIPS IN TOWN. XX
