On the evening of 31 July I visited Marinos fish and chip shop and purchased a large Huss, large cod and a small portion of chips to take away.Having used Marinos many times before my wife and I were looking forward to our supper as the quality has always been excellent. We were sorely disappointed. Both portions of fish were extremely overcooked - the fish was hard and the batter brittle. The chips were even worse, they had obviously been cooked a long time previously and weren’t at all crisp as normal. A dreadful meal, nowhere near worth £22. We have always enjoyed Marinos food but in future we will try elsewhere.

Absolutely disgusting chips and under cooked sausages. Not even fit for a dog. Chips stank of fish. Horrible and where binned.

Nice Greek food to takeout .Always order in advance, and only a short wait when you arrive.Not as plentiful as it used to be but still not bad value.

Passed here many times before. Short on time with my daughter so decided to stop. Chicken burger was not a breast of chicken as he said it was. Portions were huge but chips were greasy as were the onion rings (reconstituted onion). Kids portion way too big. And my daughter (11) had to pick the greasy batter off to just eat the fish. She gave her food 4 out of 10. I was tending more towards 5 but was trying to be generous as the guy was nice and friendly. Overall very disappointing. Will never go back.

ordered standard Cod and Chips , the fish was OK but the chips were very poor , not worth the £11 for a take away .

Very disappointed! Only ordered standard fish & chips and one portion of scampi. Waited 42 minutes (other costumers were in and out and I was still waiting). My daughter was in the car and after half an hour she came in the shop to see what was going on. I am a very tolerant person so I waited and didn’t ask questions. I have been away and wanted to spend some quality time with my daughter so we decided to order some food and take it to the beach in Hythe to see the sunset. By the time we would arrive in Hythe, the food shops would be closed so we’ve got a special bag to keep the food warm till we get there and I just said to my daughter it would be worth the wait anyway… after all of that time we finally went to the beach and what a nasty surprise when I opened my box and the fish wasn’t fresh and the chips were all burnt and looking like leftovers that were just chucked in… well…only my daughter ate her scampi and afterwards we went to McDonald’s as it was already too late to find something else. I don’t know what happened and I really love Marino’s fish and chips, this was truly disappointing …The staff there could at least said something as I was seating down there and just watching costumers coming in and out. I would never have written a bad review if the food had been like I am used to. I don’t mind waiting if it’s worthy the wait. I was really disgusted when I looked at my food.I will still buying from them but not from this shop.Florbela Martinho

1 rated .the owners have given up the running of this once great chippie.prevous visits had a guy cooking a burning the cod roe ( it was black in part) .now we have 3 girls cooking / overcooking the fish the fish should be golden not dark brown with the fish crispy in side and dry ...chips were like warm slugs . Looking for elsewhere now had to many poor ones from here .I had spoke to a young girl ,may have been a member of the family a few months back who did sort it out before but she appears not to be there now.Was very good and I have written that but now this is a regular event . Time to move on .

Had a takeaway today and unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. Have had many takeaways from here but I really feel that standards have slipped somewhat. The chips did look nice but they were hard, don’t know why? Fish was small and a bit tasteless, and underneath the batter, not much of it. There weren’t many chips either but as I didn’t eat the ones I had this didn’t really matter on this occasion. Don’t know if I will risk it again.

My wife and I often used to use Marino's when we lived in Stanhope, and it was always a bit dearer than other chip shops but we never minded, because it was great food and very generous portions. During the recent lockdown, we fancied fish and chips one evening, so I had a look at the new app Marino's have launched. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was horrified. Large chips are £4.80!! A jumbo sausage on it's own is £2.75!! A large cod is £8.40, but then you have to buy the chips separately at £3.00 for a standard portion, so it's really £11.40. Even a standard cod with chips is £10.25 so you're still looking at over £20.00 for two adults. Those were the first shocks. Now for some more. The home made tartare sauce is £1.55 per portion, (So that's another £3.10 just for a condiment which should be free) the bottled vinegar is £2.35, (just buy it in Tesco for 50 pence) and a 1.25L bottle of Coke is £3.60! Even a wedge of lemon for your cod is 20 pence. The restaurant also delivers alcohol - four 440ML cans of Foster's lager are £10.00! What an utter joke! To add insult to injury, there is a "service charge" of 50 pence added to the final bill, and to top it off, if you live beyond a certain radius you will then be charged £3.00 for delivery as well!!! I can't believe they charge these prices, nor can I believe people actually pay them. This such a shame, I always loved the food. I hadn't used Marino's for some time, but I definitely won't now.

We have regularly used Marino’s for fish and chips over the past 3 years and have always been very happy with both portion size and quality. Was intrigued to see the new Greek street food additions so ordered our usual fish and chips and tried the gyros. Small cod looked like a tail, chips were soggy and tasteless. Gyros were ok portion-wise but pretty tasteless. Not sure if they’ve changed hands recently or struggling with the volume of online orders, but not quality we're used to.

We use this place about 3 times a month. During the pandemic, their delivery service has been good, although up to an hour wait is common at busy times.We recently ordered on a Thursday rather than our normal Friday. (it was the 25th March).I ordered the Large Haddock, although they never have Small Haddock, so it should probably be called ... er... Haddock? Usually this is fine, nice batter and good and hot, not over-cooked. However on this particular Thursday last week, it had a tangy aftertaste. Not particularly pleasant and I did not eat all of my fish.The chips were fine, much better than the soggy flacid "fries" at big chain takeaway establishments.The massive disappointment and complete waste of money has been the "home made" coleslaw. We used to love this, and order it regularly. However, it is just a slurry now. Over-blitzed in a processor until there are no lumps left, WTAF? Disgusting is putting it mildly. It's not coleslaw and they should put this right ASAP.I feel like giving them one more chance but am on the cusp of not bothering again.Why do people change a good thing? The staff are lovely, whenever I have gone there to pick it up, and the delivery drivers I've had are fine. Also, it's worth trying the Greek stuff they offer on their website, as it makes a change. Variable quality, but we were knocked out by it one time, it was so good.The email acknowledements from ordering can be weirdly behaves, sometimes I get 3, then other times none, but, whatever.All in all, it has been great, but perhaps they are trying to cost cut too much?

Well, that's a story. Ordered, with 55 minutes expected delivery. 1 hour and 15 minutes called to ask where it was. 'We have no order for your address' well you have taking the money from my account (checking mu online bank statement). Oh, yeah you ordered through Foodhub. found it. I ordered through your own website! Anyway, 1 hour and 45 minutes later food arrives with delivery guy having trouble finding our house, never mind the fact he parked up 20 meters away from the front door and walked in an opposite direction! I can only say, never order through their web site. the are completely unorganised. Unhappy customer!

Was very disappointed with the fish and chips, not only did it take 1 and a half hours of ordering to come, I had to phone twice, the excuse was I had ordered from Kennington and not Beaver Road, which I had as last time we used Beaver Road, they delivered to the wrong address so had to wait another hour before they could deliver. The excuse was they couldn’t get drivers, if this is the case then they shouldn’t offer delivery. Very very disappointed I won’t be using them again that’s for sure.! I know we are in a pandemic but surely if you can’t deliver SAY

Only popped in to grab a portion of chips on my lunch and I can honestly say they were the worst chips I’ve had. They were soggy and tasteless, and they put far to much salt on them so my lips were stinging after a few chips.... threw them in the bin! And what’s worse is they wanted to charge an extra 10p to have the chips in a polystyrene box never again!

We ordered fish and chips for 4 adults by telephone and collected, all okay until we got home. The battered cod was soggy and had bones. The grilled cod was undercooked. And, the chips were more like mashed potato. The worst fish and chips we have ever had.

In Ashford Marino’s is arguably the best however the competition is not hard to beat, we are regular clients and re entry most of the time when we order Fish and Chips the chips are overcooked and all ends they look disgusting, the fish is overcooked, batter hard and dark and the fish inside has shrunken away from the batter. It is such a shame quality cannot be consistent. We always use Marino’s and have been reasonably happy, but recently produce and quality has gone downhill.Come on Marino’s up the game, I’d rather pay more and get great food every time.John

We visited this Fish and Chip shop on the way back from Faversham and have to say this was the most expensive Chip shop ever. We sat in the restaurant and looked at the menu and was surprised that you had to pay for chips on top of your order! £5 for a pie and then £3 for chips on top of that! Also be aware that the food is also served with a side salad covered in oil! This was not an option and did not say on the menu! Never been to a chip shop before and had Pie, chips, gravy and a salad!! Bread and butter was a £1 and it actually was a tiny roll, £2:50 for a soft drink too. Back to the Fish Inn for us!

I have to say the service in the restaurant on beaver road was very good but the food is amazingly overpriced. I thought the price of the fish was the price of the meal. I've never been to a fish and chip restaurant and not had a meal deal. Be aware of this when you look at the menu.

An hour late, dry fish and stone-cold chips. The girl on the phone’s explanation was “he left an hour ago with five orders”. In other words, “your order was cooked an hour and 20 minutes ago and is therefore an hour and 20 minutes past it’s best.” I would expect take-away to arrive within 30 minutes of being cooked. This guy didn’t even come to our house: I had to walk to another road to “find him”. Result: cold food, over an hour late. Fail, fail, fail

I have been using Marino's for fish and chips for years (10+). I called in this evening for some chips for 4 people and my son wanted some chicken nuggets. I called in at 9.20pm to be told that as they close at 9.30 they had stopped cooking and that I could only have one small portion of chips. I said that as the door was open they should still be taking orders, declined their offer of one portion of chips and vowed never to return.

The chips were completely inedible as was the fish cake I ordered. Oil was either dirty or they were old chips recooked... We just couldn't explain it. The fish cake wasn't like any other fish cake I've had before either, it was dry & incredibly thin and the batter was like that of a battered sausage. Having spent over £26 to get delivery I'm unimpressed some of the food wasn't edible. The only good thing about the order was the lamb burger, that was lovely and the double decker deluxe burger. Just a shame about the rest.

I visited the Kennington branch today to order a takeaway for the family. When I got home I realised there was an item missing, my southern fried chicken. When I rang up they disputed my order, saying there was no chicken written down. I got back in the car on a cold and wet night to drive back and question how much I'd been charged, and lo and behold they had charged me for the chicken.

On dog sitting duties over the bank holiday weekend in Ashford, I was a bit worried were I would get our usual Friday night fish and chips fix but came across Marino’s (Beaver Road) website and found that they delivered. Unfortunately I do not have a ‘smart device’ so I could not load the app but telephoned at lunch time and was talked through the ordering process by a very patient lady. Online order of 2 x cod and chips and a saveloy for delivery at 7.30pm and once again after a couple of telephone conversations I was reassured that my order would be delivered at 7.30 that night. At 7.20 with my sister and I sitting in the garden enjoying a well deserved glass of fizz there was a knock at the door and our fish and chips arrived – lovely fresh fish, loads of chips and one of the best saveloys that I have tasted for ages, all piping hot and the dog enjoyed her little taster. We would certainly use Marino’s the next time we’re in Ashford and have recommended it to the others who are on the dog sitting rota, hopefully next time I won’t be so ‘appless’.

I have often stopped off here for fish and chips and it has always been wonderful. In fact this is quite possibly the very best British chippie in the Ashford area ( haven't tried them all, but Marinos surely has to be exceptional ) with large portions of properly cooked food, without the usual three day old fat taste and smell of other local places. Try them, I think you will enjoy the experience of friendly staff, great food and a clean and tidy place. Easy parking too so, Five star!

I have stopped buying chips here because of the wait. They never seem to have any chips ready, even with lots of customers waiting. I have regularly waited for 20 minutes or more from ordering food that is always in the hot cabinet. It’s a long wait for ‘fast food’. It’s always the chips aren’t ready, and when I get them home they are soggy, not cooked enough and not even slightly crispy.

I heard on the radio last week that not only does this chippy have an app, they also deliver!! I must admit I hadnt had chips from Marinos since 2010 when they were abit soggy & not very pleasant but last night watching the rugby I remembered they delivered so thought id give them a go! Making an order was quick on their super easy app. It was completed at 17.15pm, I chose delivery asap but it suggested could be upto an hour, not a problem...to my utter astonishment, the doorbell rang 9 minutes later!! The food was packaged well, all hot and above all not a soggy chip in sight! They got the order exactly right! Then there is the quality of the food, I have to say this was by far the best fish & chips ive had in a long time! The prices too are insanely cheap!! Will most definitely be ordering from them again, have already recommended you to my family who regularly come down from London for dinner! Cannot recommend this place enough!

We had been travelling back from abroad all day and arrived in Ashford at 7pm on Friday night 29th September. We decided to stop at our usual venue to get fish and chips as a quick solution for something to eat at the end of our day. I wished we had not bothered. I ordered our usual large cod and large chips just after 7pm and was served at 7.30pm after asking how much longer did I have to wait. I had left my wife sitting in the car outside. The place was busy there were 4 serving behind the counter and another one filling phone and app orders. When I was finally served the I noted the fish had been in the warmer shelf since I had been there so why it took so long to fulfil my simple order I do not know. I did express my concerns before leaving. When we got home and unwrapped the fish it was dry and clearly overcooked. It also tasted salty for some reason. the chips were also dry.If it had not been so late and at the end of our long travelling day I would have taken it back. We left the batter and ate the best of the cod and some of the chips more through being hungry than enjoyment. We have always had good fish and chips from here but since the expansion of the premises and introduction of the app quality and service has declined. Failure through their own success. We shall not be returning as there are 4 other fish and chip shops in the same driving distance.

As it was my Anniversary and we had all had a drink i decided to try their online delivery service, this was fairly easy to use. We ordered a Plaice and chips, 2 x Cod and chips, Scampi and chips and 2 jumbo sausages with chips and curry sauce this cost me £34.65 and was delivered quickly. The chips were dry and hard to eat( they seemed like leftovers from lunchtime. My plaice was yellow and like boot leather to chew and the batter was to dry to eat and i had to leave most of it which is unusual for me as i don't like wasting food. The cod was the same as well. The only things that were edible was the scampi, the sausages and the curry sauce. Out of 5 plates of food i would say 2.5 plates of it was thrown out as it was so bad. Both my Son and i felt sick after eating this meal too. This was the worst Fish and Chips i have ever had from any Chip shop and even though i have had many years of good food from this shop i won't be using them again a total waste of my money.

Just a simple portion of chips were ordered. Sprinkled with salt, and splash of vinegar is all that was needed to turn these golden fingers into the most delicious chips.

my order/ 2 medium cod at £5 each plus a medium chips at £3.30. two bits of fish no bigger than a large battered sausage.when I question it I was told that the server didn't make up the prices!! .what the small cod looks like I carnt imaging ,a cat would feel like it was on a diet . if this is the normal at this chip shop then I highly recommend that you avoid the place .there are plenty of other far more generous establishments with far nicer staff come to that. I only went in cause its sunday and all else round here is closed. ended up with kentucy {£2.69 more and I got 10 chicken/4 chips/coleslaw/beans/large pepsi/wipes,salt,pepper,and serviettes} chip shop 0 kfc 1

Great welcome.Ridiculously long wait to be given food as we could see it fresh cooked and waiting in the cabinet half an hour before we were given it while she served a lady who came I to the shop several minutes after us and filled telephone orders and app orders when the people came to collect them. My special treat of a large huss was old, dry and chewy. Not the light, tasty fish it should be. The chips were just about OK - they used to be superb.All in all a big disappointment.Rebuild Singleton Fish Bar SOON!

We've used this place a couple of times, extremely busy and popular. The first time we went and collected our food but the second time we had it delivered which was so much easier. Lovely food, very tasty. Can recommend the cod, we had large cod which was far too much, a small piece would have been enough. The curry sauce is amazing. Definitely be going back.

Perhaps I'm doing this place an injustice... the fish n chips is OK but it takes an age for them to come up with the goods, and sixteen quid for two portions and a can of pop?Is that he going rate? Used to be *much* cheaper back in the day. As a child I could easily afford it out of my pocket money.

Mariners is our favourite fish and chips shop in Ashford. Great chip, great fish with lovely crunchy batter, very friendly and professional service. Also they now have a smart phone app for pre orders.

Everyone has the fish and chip shop of choice and Marino's is bar far the best choice in Ashford. What they lack in speedy service they make up in great taste, fair prices and good portion sizes (you better be hungry).

Been to every other in ashford but our favourite has recently shut so thought we'd give it a go. How wrong was our decision. There was only one other customer in store so didn't think we'd wait too long and was never told a waiting time for our order. We was aware that later evening orders would be longer anyway and as others have previously stated that food is freshly cooked here, so was prepared and willing to wait for a tastier meal. Waited around 15 minutes approx. About an hour before closing time. Price came to around the same amount we usually spend, in the region of £20, so assumed a similar service to all other shops we've visited. Thoroughly disappointed and will definitely rather miss out on fish and chips than eat here again. Portions of chips were fairly adequate but less than some other local Chippys. Burgers were tasteless, coming from a chef, and were very average. Cod is charged at £3.30 (mini), £4.70 (standard) and 5.50ish (large). Was completely horrified to find a standard cod that was literally the size of ONE young's or bird's eye battered fish fillets . Went back in to complain to be told that's the size of standard, you should have seen mini!Probably the same amount of fish inside about 3/4 fish fingers. No offer of a solution or even an apology as we were clearly not happy. Customer service was extremely appalling and staff were rude, as most of the responses to feedback on TripAdvisor suggests. They really do not like to be criticised and are extremely rude and unapologetic. Would steer everyone away from here, there are much better fish and chip shops offering a lot more than here in the local area, both food and service wise. Yes the food was not completely disgusting and was edible but portion sizes are ridiculous for the same amount of money, in places actually more and frankly, I don't think this nor their delightful service outweighed its ONLY positive of cooking to order. Would honestly not even give it the one star.

First time at the shop and definitely won't be the last. served very quickly by two very polite smiley girls, didn't wait long for them to be ready, and we enjoyed our fish and chips immensely..... what more can you ask.

Brilliant place to get Fish and Chips, we have been coming here for years and have no bad words to say about it. Great service and great food!

I've got to say that the grilled haddock from Marinos is first class but the chips are at best average, I always ask to not have the small bits of chips but every time it seems like I get extra so I end up throwing them away.

Good food, freshly prepared, friendly and polite service. Fish bites good value for money and pee fritters worth a try

Discovered this place last year and now a regular pre Eurotunnel stop off point. It's a little way off the M20 but is really worth it if you have time. Plenty of parking and the service is quick.The quality of the fish is good and the chips are probably the best I have ever had. It's a shame it is more than 200 miles from home

Been coming here for a good 2 years now but it's started to go downhill. Came in Monday of this week. Never have food ready. It's a fish and chip shop so why not have the fish and chips ready? And the prices...VERY expensive for a little fish and chip shop. Portion sizes are much smaller than a few years back. Not sure if the owner is trying to make money but clearly losing out as losing custom like this!! Also, when it's busy- not a chance of getting your food right, or any apology if goes wrong. The quality of food is hit and miss lately. Often worse than good. The service is also hit and miss. I've had the occasional polite young lady serve me, however most times served by rather rude young girl - complaining about hours on multiple occasions !!! and even whispering- not good with lots of people waiting. Felt very ignorant. Will try the new chippy down the road from now on .

Mr Karios and his boy cook quality food. They have been doing this for years and the quality has never been anything but brilliant.Burger, fish, chips, sausage, black pudding, curry sauce. All cooked fresh and good value for menu. Friendly staff and always polite.You only realise how good they are when you have F&C from somewhere else. Long may it continue.

The best fish and chips what ever had. The double decker is amazing and the small chips is large! There's everything from fish and chips to battered black puding. (Mushy pea fitter, battered halloumi cheese, potato fitters, battered calamari, tartare sauce)

We often get fish and chips from here, definitely the best in Tenterden! Marino’s also recently supplied about 50 meals for an event in our local village hall. Everything was still really hot and well cooked and there were lots of comments about how good they were! Thank you to everyone at Marino’s , it helped to make a great evening.

We arrived at Catch and ordered. The staff were run off their feet. It all looked very disorganised, though the staff were very pleasant. There were a lot of people waiting and standing around. Everyone seemed fed up. We waited at least 40 minutes and find that totally unacceptable. I believe they ran out of chips. In the end we had to ask when we would get our order. Surprise, surprise we got it straight away. We took the haddock and chips home. The fish was overcooked and the chips soggy and cold. We will not use Catch again. The whole experience was rubbish. They need more staff and need to produce food more efficiently (investment required).

It's taken a while to find my new 'local chippie' since my last one changed hands and went downhill. Fish just cooked with decent batter. My usual complaint for ALL chippies though chips not cooked enough. I like mine crisp with a bit of colour. Prices are amazingly good, excellent value. All staff wear hair nets (good), bloke with beard doesn't wear a snood (bad).
