Marino's Fish Restaurant and Takeaway in Rother

Visited on bonfire night so it was absolutely packed. We guessed this so had phoned ahead and booked a table. The lady who served us in the restaurant side was rushed off her feet but did a great job. Food seemed super fresh and was well cooked - not greasy at all. Will definitely be back.

Really traditionnal fish and chips in a beautiful Rye old school charming houses! Fish and chips was good, sitting next to the window and look at people passy by the cobblestone street was really peaceful! I recommend!

Great fish & chips, excellent! Very kind service. I strongly recommend this cozy place :)

First ever time visiting this fine establishment steeped in history! Greeted with kind and welcoming staff who clearly appreciate your custom. The chips are the best in the UK yes thats right the very best. I think they may of been freshly double fried!! The fish was a very generous size and full of flakes and had a delicious crispy batter! I would move to Rye simply to be able to have this fine food on Fridays! I couldn’t possibly recommend enough! Should have six stars!!!! Delicious and thank you again!

A cute and cosy restaurant with friendly staff. The main reason for going to Marino's was of course, the food. We had the plaice meal (which included chips). The batter was crispy and light and the plaice was soft and delicate. The chips were first blanched, then double-cooked, so were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Take a big appetite with you as the fish is the size of a small whale! Gorgeous! We'll definitely go again!

Ordered fish & chip takeaway for a Sat night - got home and was disgusted to see the difference in size of the fish. We ordered 2 medium cods, but quite frankly, one piece looked like a sausage in batter. This is not the first time we have seen this, but thought it was a one-off, but to get the same again, I feel I had to write a review. Marinos are not as good as they were years ago, even the chips are not as good or plentiful anymore. Won't be back.

Good size fish and good size sausage Fish was perfect and the sausage in batter yum yum Medium chips definitely enough for us 2 and good value

I found this place a little strange. The food was good but we decided to sit in and this is where it's strange. There is a bit out the back to sit and eat but is very cramped. The tables/booths are layout for 4 but it's a very tight 4. It felt like a seating area drinks would go after being at the pub/club and having fish and chips after. That said I would still come here for the fish and chips but get a takeaway and eat them else where.

We ordered small chips for our group and they were amazing but the service let it down. We ordered and got our food, realised there was seating at the back but they said we would have to re-buy our food at a different price because both the menu and pricing was different for seating. One of our party was on crutches which was why we wanted to sit but we were refused.

Excellent service and very good fish and chips. Revisited after 4 years, just as good as before, highly recommended

We've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed it. Freshly cooked and the best chips in the area. Friendly staff.

Ordered by phone and picked up. Great cod and chips. Great service and excellent staff

Best fish and chips in rye.lots of choices on the menu,great price and friendly staff .fast service ,definitely reccomend.

A very disappointing meal in what we have previously found to be an excellent restaurant . Whilst the cod I ordered was really good, my wife’s skate was hardly edible. The fish, what there was of it, looked old and dry, as if it had been left out of the fridge too long, and the batter was very dark. It had either been cooked for too long or reheated. Very disappointing. The chips however were quite good.

Lovely fish and chips. Lovely staff. Really good OAP deal on a Thursday.

Excellent food, very good customer service and eating in the lovely restaurant is highly recommended.

It's a fish & chip shop, not a sit-down place, does fish cooked to order, a selection of pies, all the usual stuff. Staff friendly, helpful & with a sense of humour!

I visited Marinos because I had read a puff piece online. I should have known better. It was awful. I paid £4.90 for onion rings that literally came out of the freezer from Iceland or Lidl. The cod was very greasy and I sent the mushy peas back because it was cold. When they brought it back it was still cold, not even warm. The chips were average and don't get me started on the curry sauce. It was like Chinese chicken and sweetcorn soup. It was so runny. To top it all it cost over £40 for two of us for that rubbish. Would I recommend Marinos? Absolutely not!

One of the nicest fish and chips I've had. Fish was lovely and white and meaty. Chips were mix of crispy and soft. Staff were very friendly

THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN THE WORLD! Always delicious. Lovely friendly staff.

Went to cambersands beach and fancied some proper fish and chips.. found this place on google and was skeptical about the bad chips mixed reviews.. i had to leave a review to redeem the chips! Honestly the best fish and chips ive had in a while. Theres parking 2mins walk away which is like £1.30 an hour or off street parking. Theyre dog friendly and have seating areas inside. The lady who served us was friendly and lovely.. customer service was 10/10. The fact that there was a queue outside for takeaway showed how good this place is from the get go. My vegetarian sis loved the battered mushrooms. My mum whos an aggressive hangry person loved the cod so much.. Defo recommend!

Lovely, flakey fish covered in a light, crispy batter and the chips were proper chippy chips

Delicious fried fish and fried sausages. Highly recommended, the food is fresh. Very delicious cod and sausage. The food is very fresh.

Get your fish and chips fix here! The fish was really juicy and big and everything tasted fresh but could be a bit greasier than some. If you're not super hungry, go for the medium. We got a large to share and it was bigger than we expected. The restaurant is typically busy with a queue but they're very fast and friendly.

Great fish & chips place, very good Very British atmosphere for a French person

Wow! Have not had proper chippy Chips in years and these were EXCELLENT!! Such a trip down memory lane! We took a takeaway home in the car and they were still roasting hot when we sat down to eat. Fish excellent and crispy. Was busy and deservedly so! Fresh, clean and delicious treat. Would come back to Rye just for Marinos! Go, you will not be disappointed! Wishing them continued success

Very nice staff The batter they use for the fish and chips is amazing Mention for the fried fresh pineapple with ice cream, surprisingly nice!!!

Popped in for fish and chips, and it was great. Went for the big cod, chips were crispy, friendly service, what’s not to like!

Great Fish N Chips. The large cod was enormous. Lovely crisp batter and chips were perfectly thick and crisp. Sit-in prices seem only fractionally higher than take away, and seemed to me to be very reasonable. Dog-friendly

Popped in on a Saturday at 2.00pm. Wasn't too busy. Food was good ole standard fish and chips. Ordered a medium and was more than happy with the portion size. The fish was fresh, and the chips just fried, so there were no complaints there.

Big portions at great prices. You can take away or eat in. A star was deducted for the fries, which had little flavor

Really lovely, fresh food. They were a little unsure about letting our large dog in because he was a bit overexcited while he was waiting for me to enquire about a garden table. However the staff were really lovely and brought Bailey fresh water and gave us a quiet table in the garden. Bailey also loved the chips...and was well behaved!

Unfortunately we were a bit late to make use of the seating area inside, (it shuts at 19:30), but the lovely gentlemen behind the counter directed us to Gun Gardens to eat our take away. The fish was delicious, and my nephew wolfed down his fish cake 😋 Highly recommended 👍

Delicious fish and chips, excellent service - you’re the best guys!

We visited at lunchtime on Wednesday 7th August 2024. We don’t live in Rye, otherwise I would be visiting Marino’s Fish and Chip restaurant regularly! Every time that we have visited we have NEVER been disappointed! We were seated quickly. I ordered the medium fish and chips. It was absolutely exquisite! The fish was beautifully fresh, with crispy batter. I have not tasted chips like these for many years. They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The portion sizes were generous. I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are very friendly, the restaurant was lovely and clean, and has a very nice ambience. Thank you again. 10/10.

Even though it doesn't look like it, you can walk through and there are tables there. Fish and chips were great.

I recently visited Marino's Fish and Chips in Rye and, unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. I ordered a medium cod, but what arrived was the tiniest piece of fish I have ever seen. To give you an idea of how small it was, I took a photo with a mayo pouch next to it for comparison. Honestly, it looked more like a kid's or even a half portion. In the North East or even London, a medium cod would be 3 times this size. The quality of the food itself was good - the batter was crispy and the fish, although minuscule, was fresh and tasty. However, the portion size was extremely disappointing.

Best fish & chips we have ever had

I had a gluten free cod and chips take away on request which was very good. The lady who served me couldn't have been more helpful to my dietary requirements, thank you!

Very good fish and chips and plentiful, even the children's menu, very affordable prices. Very friendly staff.

I have never been into a restaurant or any public toilet where a sanitary bin hasn’t been available. I walked in to find a sanitary pad on the floor next to the ordinary bin! This is a huge health and safety concern, biohazards should always have a separate bin with an enclosed lid. I have never written a negative review before and debated doing so but I am writing this in hopes the manager at Marinos will do something about this before health & safety do.

Very expensive for medium fish and chips

Really lovely food. We had fish and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce and it was absolutely delicious. Right in the main town of Rye.

Pleasant seaside fish and chips in a good little restaurant.

Just one statement - The best chips in Rye and arguably top 10 in the UK.

Great cuisine, great service great atmosphere

Amazing fish and chips, best in rye

Went in for a fish and chip meal early evening to eat in.We were promptly provided with a table and our order was taken so that we didn’t have to wait long. When the food arrived my husband asked for brown sauce but was told there was none and hadn’t been for weeks. We commenced eating and found that the chips were very scrappy so we left half of them. I called over the person who had taken our order and showed him but he didn’t show much interest. The fish was okay but overall we did not enjoy the experience.

Popped in for sit down Fish & Chips and loved it. Good friendly service and an excellent piece of cod. So nice to have a choice of fresh peas too. Will definitely come again! Thank you

Visited here today, Sunday for afternoon meal. My wife ordered a salad, that was ok, I ordered Large Cod and Chips Fish was ok but the chips were absolutely awful Mostly burnt bits, and the few larger chips were very oily. And a very small portion of chips. Years ok always “new potatoes” were the excuse but now other chip shops serve good chips all times. Recommend you avoid this Fish & Chips shop.

Fantastic restaurant. Chips are crispy and plentiful. Service efficient and friendly. Very nice atmosphere. We will be back.

We are on holiday and visited marinos. Best fish and chips ever!!!!!

Great friendly staff, and great fish and chips.

Very nice fish and chips! It was busy when we went on a Saturday afternoon and the waiter seemed very rushed, but did a great job and we had our food in about ten minutes. Also sells beer and wine. Only small area to improve was the size of the medium cod - as you can see it's pretty tiny. I'm only mentioning it as I saw someone else's medium cod go past which was twice the size, so think I was just unlucky. It was only £1.50 more for the (huge) large cod so I'll do that next time! Medium cod and chips was £12.50.

Whilst all the food is quickly prepared, hot and tasty, the portions are pretty small. A medium cod & chips from my local chippy is easily enough for two, but the equivalent here is a goldfish with a handful of chips. For the price you don't get a lot.

Really good. Also cheap and has big portions :)

Staff are really friendly! We ordered medium cod and chips which was a big portion of chips but the cod was a bit on the smaller side for it being medium. Curry sauce wasn’t good at all, very watery but nice flavours. The interior was a little old, but still nice. With the rest of the area being so cute and retro I was expecting the interior of the place to be a little better. But it was comfortable and had surprisingly loads of seating! Overall I’d go back, but I wouldn’t order the curry sauce again.

Excellent service and great food as always. 😊 Fish and chips were more excellent this time round 😊 to thank you.

We went out of our way to have lunch here and it was as good as ever. Fantastic food served with a smile

My boyfriend and I both had the haddock and chips and now we have food poisoning.

We ordered a medium cod and it was huge. It tasted lovely too The only problem we found was that we sat underneath the air conditioning unit and it looked dirty and there was a big cob web hanging down that touched us when we sat down.

Really tasty food, I think quite expensive though (three SMALL cod and chips plus an extra chips cost over £30?!). Good to try but will probably find somewhere cheaper next time.

I took my elderly mum there yesterday for lunch. It’s obviously really popular with the kids from the school, all very happy with their bags of chips - we were more than happy with everything about it. They had a Seniors deal, which meant mum had exactly what she wanted, exactly the same size piece of cod as me, with fewer chips, and bread & butter, not needed. I had way too many chips, but they’re wonderful, just the way chips should be, and the fish was perfect, in a light crisp batter. It was busy, but the waitress found time to check with people that they had everything they needed - she was lovely, really friendly and happy. The menu is actually on the place mat, along with activities, puzzles for kids - what a brilliant idea for efficient table service in a space-limited area. All in all, a really good meal, lovely lunchtime - we’ll be going there again.

Old school classic fish n chip restaurant. Great value food was very nice. Prompt friendly service.

Love this place good food nice people

Hadn't been here in years as I don't live locally any more. Absolutely loved my haddock and chips, proper south Eastern massive portion, that I was determined to eat because it was so good. The battery was delicious, haddock flacked as it should and chips were delicious. My kids were happy with theirs. I went in with my two kids, was welcomed and staff were attentive. I only marked down because restaurant area was small and we were rushed a little at end due to people wanting to come in. There were a table that had been there longer and eaten and possibly I was rushed a little more than them because I was just one adult? Who knows. That said everyone wad pleasant and when I pop home, I will make it the place to go to get decent chips!

The fish and chips were classic, but nothing spectacular. The meat pie was ok. They were very generous with their chips! The service was great.

Fish good chips a little over cooked but fine

Wow! Absolutely delicious. A truly exceptional little fish and chip shop! Anything was on point... If in Rye, I highly recommend it 👌

Marino's food used to be fabulous... however, seemingly no longer! We have been dozens of times over the years, and was the family's favourite. On the recent visit, the chips were crispy and delicious but the batter on the cod was pale, soft, and porridge-like on the underside. The piece of cod itself was ok but not great. The side orders of onion rings were underwhelming and, at 80p each for what were the frozen, cheap kind, it was disappointing. The staff were friendly but, at £20+ per person for fish, chips and a soft drink, this isn't much of a consolation.

Excellent fish and chips as expected.

We ordered on-line and the food was ready very promptly. Everyone enjoyed it. The only disadvantage is that you can't stop outside although we did manage to stop just up the road.

We are so lucky to have a chippy like Marinos in our town! Delicious food, and great service. Always fresh fish. Avoid the queue by calling to order in advance - your food will be waiting with a smile!

A giant slab of crispy haddock nestled in a great heap of thick cut fries. Enough food for a small hungry village. Service a little slow because of so many customers, otherwise an excellent meal.

Tasty fish and chips. Cooked fresh so took some time, fish was fresh and sweet. They do charge for sauce.

Delicious and fresh fish and chips. Huge portions and the staff are super nice. Definitely worth a visit when in the area.

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve had in a very long time

Pre-ordered and paid online - got back to holiday accommodation and they’d forgotten to include half of order. Chips were greasy and undercooked. Would not recommend.

Alin is a frymaster. This is an institution, make no mistakes. This place will light your tastebuds on fire. Follow @harry_cooke for more. Bless up

My review is for the takeaway and not the restaurant.We decided we would have fish and chips and 2 cartons of mushy peas take home as we were both starving and it was getting too late for me to start cooking .we live a 5 minute drive away,but by the time we got home the fish and chips were just Luke warm and the peas were cold . We have only been here twice, the first time they charged us £5 too much and had to ring and go back to collect our money and now a cold meal,that came to over £22.00 . We won’t be going back unfortunately.Marinos is supposed to be in the top ten of f&c shops/ restaurants in East Sussex.

Friendly staff and delicious food! My husband had the haddock with chips and I had battered calamari with salad. The fish is fresh and the portions are huge! Highly recommended if you are visiting Rye

Absolutely delicious. Came from London down to Camber Sands for a few days with the family. Popped over to Rye and saw this fish bar. Got a good vibe and saw the prices were very fair. Had to wait a bit as they were quite busy in their seating area as far as I could tell. But the wait was worth it! Staff were very friendly but the food was great. Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Fresh fish, tasty batter and crisp chips! Made a short break even better!

Fresh, tasty, friendly staff, kids friendly, highly recommended

Fish and chips were very delicious. Quantity of chips were plenty. Staff is friendly and really helpful. Will love to visit again.

Best takeaway we have had for a long time. Good value, great fish (haddock) good size the chips were really tasty. We ordered for 7 but there was enough for 9 or 10

I have been to this chippy with a group of around 20 German students on a field trip. The service was very kind and took their time with the kids and their inexperienced orders. The owner was very friendly and the food was very tasty. The medium size haddock will fill a grown man until evening. All in all a great experience and I will definitely come back on our next trip.

Very accomodating for our large greyhound! And lab puppy. Friendly pleasant staff. Good fish/chips. Would recommend, good service.

First time for maybe five years (long story) and Marino's remains the best chippy I've ever found. It does the simple things outstandingly, and that's all you really need. Prompt and cheery service, excellent food.

Worth a visit. Staff were friendly I ordered scallops and chips which were expensive and not especially tast I wished i had ordered the cod or the plaice. I will try again.

Popped in with a large group for a takeaway. Chips all cooked fresh, service with a smile and chat very needed on a cold wet February Wednesday

Went for Rye Scallop week and was totally surprised to see this traditional fish and chip shop do battered Scallops and chips. Really good and plenty of it for £18.99 highly recommend!

Delicious, proper date night, friendly and welcoming, haddock perfect

Beautiful chips, crispy on the outside,fluffy in the middle and not greasy!. Really friendly (and funny) staff

Best Cod and chips I've had in a long time. If you are ever visiting Rye this place is well worth popping into. They have seating in the back and also do takeaway.

We had medium cod and chips. The cod was a bit on the small side, and the chips were quite burnt. As it was fairly early in the day, we wondered if the chips were left over from the previous day and reheated. The pot of tea was only just large enough for 1 cup, so we paid £4 for 2 cups of tea.

Our found the fish and chips very average but staff super freindly

Service was poor. We ordered 4 portion of chips to wrap and take away and specifically ask for salt and vinegar on the chips. I even asked as she was wrapping them if she had put some on (she said yes). When we opened them to eat on the way home there’s not even a hint of salt or vinegar. Very poor. Also ordered three pickled eggs and got 2 eggs and a pickle.

I’ll be honest with you it was a bit of a mission trying to get fish and chips in the area as we walked all way to camber Sands only to get there to realise that it was shut down largely because it was winter time and because camber is a bit of a butt hole, please don’t let this review stop you from going there because the beach is wonderful to go walking along, just don’t bother trying to explore the wider camber area because it’s not very nice. We entered Rye longing for fish and chips, and our optimism and hopes were at a rock bottom low for finding something decent. We found the Mecca of fish and chip shops, Marinos, fish, bar, serving, next level, life changing fish and chips. The chips were epic, batter light and fish was soft. Thanks Marinos, we will be back again soon.

Great fish and chips. Great service. Avoid the onion rings as they are clearly frozen and not rings of onion dipped in batter and fried.

Plenty of volume. You can take home what you can't eat.
