Marinos Fish Restaurant in Rother - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

AVOID 🚨 Avoid 🚨 Avoid 🚨 I paid £12.10 for a medium cod, chips, and a drink. I asked if I could eat in, and the guy said they would have to charge me extra for it. There wasn’t a single person in the place. Who charges extra just so you can eat inside? I asked for my money back because I thought it was unfair. The guy said I wasn’t getting my money back and told me to take my fish and go. The staff was extremely rude. In the end, they refunded me and told me never to come back. What a complete loser. NEVER AGAIN. Edit: I just read other 1-star reviews and it seems I’m not the only one who found the owner rude. He seems emotional and insecure, thinking he’s a big deal just because he’s cooking fish. He could use a lesson in manners and how to speak to people nicely. I’m actually amazed. Bro created drama, lost a customer, and gained a 1-star review just because he wanted to earn 50p for me to sit down and eat my food. 😭

Wow the food was amazing. The huss and spam filters and chips was by far the best we ever had. Prices was great. The best thing what stand out the most is the two menbers of staff. The young man who flying and the young lady who was the waitress. Both was polite and helpful and friendly. They really don't know how good they are well done

Our fav chippy. We've been coming for years and it's always great. One of the few shops to offer a gluten free batter. Kids won't let us visit bexhill without a trip to marinos.

Fabulous food, reasonably priced and always friendly, speedy staff.

Ate in their restaurant...fish and chips were excellent....good, friendly staff...we felt well looked after and left full.

Disgusting take away boxes of cod and chips, the cod extremely oily stuck to the box, old chips dark coloured, and I'm texting this from the toilet as I have diroreah DO NOT EAT HERE

Always had great food and lovely staff

Where to start with this shambles of a restaurant. Waited well over 30 minutes for a simple order while later comers were served quickly and when I enquired the apparent manager (who I will call "Grinning Ginger Buzzcut") made an almost comical show of offering me my money back. When I said I'd prefer the food I had ordered Grinning Ginger Buzzcut and his less than able helpers including a self proclaimed adult (in her own words: "F___ off, I'm 21") went into a state of unexpected paralysis and seemed unable to serve any of the large amounts of fish and chips that had by then accumulated to me and my family. GGB said I had been told it could be 20 minutes, no such warning had been given and I told him that I'd have gone elsewhere if it had. This seemed to rile up GGB and he started going backwards with the prospect of me being served. At one point someone said our order was ready but GGB must have countermanded the delivery and the interminable wait went on. Eventually I took up Grinning Ginger Buzzcut's offer as another 10 minutes of total inaction has ensued and had to suffer GGB grinning from all sides as he apparently thought he was getting one over on his customer. I have no doubt that these actions, led by Grinning Ginger Buzzcut, were deliberate by some of the rudest, most unprofessional and obnoxious people I have ever seen serving the general public. This is my fair and honest review.

The weather was awful so I visited the restaurant section of this fish & chip shop whilst on holiday recently and ordered haddock and chips with a glass of water from the very friendly and attentive server, when my meal arrived it had been freshly cooked, was steaming hot and tasted absolutely delicious, their tartare sauce is amazing and I can't wait to return when I am next in this very beautiful area on the South Coast, overall excellent value for the money.

I got to be really honest here, this is the worst fish and chip place I've ever visited I ordered savaloy and chips for my mother and battered sausage and chips for my self the savaloys where cold, the chips where soggy and stuck together the battered sausages well I can't even call them battered they where barley battered at all and what batter there was, was raw on one side would not recommend ps it cost alot of money to.

Maybe they were having an off day but I really didn't rate the food. The batter wasn't crispy, the pieces of fish were a bit thin. Fish & chips is a difficult one because we all know what excellent fish and chips is like but this fell short. Sorry. Friendly people though.

Visiting the area from NZ and fancied cod and chips. Super sized cod if you wish and lovely batter and non greasy chips with salt and vinegar to eat in. Young lad serving was very helpful and polite and certainly reccommend. Yum!

A very friendly and welcoming place. Popped in for lunch on my own, I like the option of being able to choose the size of fish you want. Ordered a small cod and chips which did not disappoint. The batter was delicious and the child were plenty andc tasty. Great service, great food, thank you!

A long wait and zero atmosphere

The haddock and chips were rather awful, the atmosphere was terrible. And the owners and appearance of the restaurant and shop was dreadful.

Fantastic cod and chips massive portions , very good price too. 👍

This place serves excellent, well prepared, well presented food. Golden chips and fish of choice in perfect crispy batter. Quality produce at competitive prices. There is even an OAP meal listed on the menu ... items included as we would know fish and chips from times past! The staff are efficient and attentive. Service was prompt. Yesterday was our first visit and when I find myself next in Bexhill will certainly drop into this business again!

Properly perfect fish and chips. The best I've had in a while. Amazing

Hubby and i went here years ago, when visiting we were told about this place, found out was the same place that we ate in on our last visit, very good

Go here for the gluten free fish and chips which are very nice 👌

Love it. Fab food and service. Thank you 😊

Not for the first time recently we have been disappointed with the chips from Marion’s. Don’t know if they’re using different oil, potatoes or what but they were horrid. A real shame as it’s been our local chip shop for years

The best fish and chips shop in Bexhill-on-Sea. The food is just so tasty. The chips are just the best. No soggy oily food here. The staff are hardworking and the place is always immaculate. There is indoor dinning if you needed to sit and eat

We really love this fish and chip shop. The choice of fish is fabulous and it tastes lovely. We come here every time we visit Bexhill. My husband had cod and I had skate. Other times I’ve had scampi. Everything is excellent. I also noticed the offer gluten free batter, we will try this the next time we visit as my daughter cannot have gluten. I hope they cook in a separate fryer to stop cross contamination. I will update once we revisit. We are ours on the promenade and got stopped a few times to see where we got our delicious looking fish & chips.🥰🤩🐟🍟

Lovely fish and chip supper. The fish was beautifully cooked and chips dry, not soggy just right. Would recommend. You can sit in or takeaway.

Disappointing experience. Came here after reading decent reviews however quality of food was poor. Chips had been overcooked, fish was poor with the batter falling off in big chunks like plaster from a wall. Staff were rude, made us felt like an inconvenience for ordering takeaway. A gentleman came in after us, was reading the board and the server was asking can she help. She turned her nose up at him because he didn’t hear her!

Visited with Mother as part of our yearly pilgrimage to place wreaths on headstones. We have been visiting Marinos for many years but always as take away bags to be eaten in the car. Today we opted to sit in for the first time as a treat, plus it was jolly cold outside. We were the only diners shortly after opening so had our choice of seats. Various fishing & coastal paraphernalia adorned the blue & white walls. Large cod & Chips Bread & Butter (singular slice, was hoping for 2) Small Haddock & Chips Beautiful golden chips, small salad garnish & a delightful crispy portion of boneless fish. Never had a bad portion out of here and it is always a treat to look forward to when we visit the South Coast.

Excellent fish. Generous portions

Yummy food would definitely go again lovely staff overall a great place to enjoy some lunch by the sea side cannot wait for the family to try

Best takeaway! The same cafe as in Rye, I believe

Just had some yummy crispy chips

First time I’ve been here and ordered scampi and chips the ships where very good cook to perfection and the scampi was a little bit soggy but was good the atmosphere wasn’t the greatest definitely needs a refurbishment the floors where covered in filth in the dining area and Takeaway area and in the kitchen they definitely need to do some cleaning

Good food times are not correct On here

Best fish and chips in the area.

Good fish and chips Chips crispy on the outside soft in the middle Delicious. Fish tasty as well. Large portions. Highly recommended.

Best fish and chips ever anywhere. OAP deal superb value. Friendly warm atmosphere.

Popped in for a quick meal before a gig and best fish & chips we’ve had in a long time. Not heavy & greasy like many places, just really fresh tasting fish, light batter & perfectly cooked chips. Husband had the gluten free batter and said it was delicious. It certainly looked it!

Best fish and chips I've had in this town. First time myself and hubby have tried them, and they were great. Huge portion. Chips are brilliant - fluffy but crispy. Fish was really nice, with just the right amount of batter. Will definitely return.

Very nice cod and very large portion of chips. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Fabulous gluten free fish and chips here. I am a coeliac and would definitely recommend to other coeliacs, I have never had a problem.

Even though the place could do with an upgrade on the decor, the service was excellent, and the food was plenty and hot.

Popped in here during a brief visit to Bexhill-on-Sea, great quality fish and chips and friendly service.

Delicious cod and chips...the cod was moist, in a tasty crispy batter. The high standard I have known over the last 4 years.

Mediocre at best …. Saturday evening we popped in to try a take away fish and chips as it had seemed busy when passing on a couple of occasions. It was fairly busy Saturday evening too… Positives: Large portions of both fish and chips, batter was pretty crispy All cooked fresh too order Negatives: The fish was tasteless and had been frozen. The chips were oily and soggy. Expensive for the quality served ! Definitely not up to Minnie Bertha’s standards.

Absolutely shocked at the most disgusting, dried up piece of grey , obviously frozen , cod and undercooked chips that I have ever seen….after unwrapping my so called fish and chips I did not eat it but returned for a full refund which I was met with a very rude manager who completely refused to give either another meal or any refund . As a family we have eaten at Marinos for 18 years weekly and we shall never set foot in the place again … there are so many fish and chip shops in Bexhill who will now have my custom … Beware

We really enjoyed our haddock and chips. Crispy batter, well cooked chips and very flavoursome haddock.

The worst food possible recieved tonight. Shocking. Undercooked chips/ then others completely burnt. No salad in burger! Sausages crucified. Battered inedible. Unwilling to admitt there poor food quality and service! Will not return Herd so many bad reviews recently.

It was horrible, spent £40 on food, half of the chips were undercooked and the other half were overcooked. The only part of my order they got right was the savelouy! Even the food was some what soggy and cold. I've been there once or twice this is not the first time I have been to this chippy. This was horrible, staff who served me were rude,ignorant and more! In the end never got a refund!! Not a single penny back. Would not! Recommend.

Food is shocking, under and over cooked chips. Staff unhelpful and unwilling to offer of refund after taking food back to the shop. I have a been a long loyal customers of Marion’s, but after today I won’t be going there again. Staff seemed happy to say that my food was eaten when there was clearly a single it taken out of it.

Have been going here for years, will never return. Vile food and service tonight. Undercooked raw chips, no salad in burger. Battered sausages inedible. Rude staff. We politely called so they could rectify it but they did not.

Awesome. It was the only chippy open in Bexhill so there was a bit of a wait but the food was great and the staff were totally on it.

Very nice sausage and chips although I can't see why you should have to pay extra 30 pence extra for cardboard box and 10 pence for plastic bags nobody else in the town charges for packaging

We were in Bexhill for a concert at the De La Warr & decided to have a fish dinner before we went in. We knew of Marinos, having used the one in Burgess Hill & found the food good. The Bexhill establishment was equally as good with attentive waiting staff, who were both very pleasant. It might be detail but it makes for a nice experience. Onto the food. The menu is plain & uncomplicated, as you'd expect from a fish & chip restaurant. We plumped for the haddock & the cod, along with chips & the obligatory mushy peas on my part. Our food was cooked fresh as we could see it being prepped. SWMBO was very pleased with the haddock with a nice thin batter & my cod was equally as good. Both pieces of fish were succulent & moist, with very little oil residue, a sign of a good cook. The quantity of chips were a challenge to consume but hey! its part of the dish. Neither of us could fault the dishes, not that we wanted to. The food was almost as good as our standard measure of the Dolphin in Seaside Road. Clean tidy premises with pleasant staff will make us want to return when next in Bexhill. It must be good food given the large crowd waiting at the take-away counter.

Always enjoy the fish here, go every couple of months

Superb fish and chip supper. Four of us ate in and couldn’t fault it. Excellent value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.

Have always come here, the food is fantastic however the owner speaks to his young staff like rubbish and it’s completely unacceptable. I do wonder why there is always a sign in the window for new staff. He needs to show more respect they’re always polite when serving and are effective behind the till, But still he degrades them to the point where I stand feeling uncomfortable whilst waiting for my order.

Great cod and chips crispy batter fresh fish . The best in bexhill and hastings I won't use anyone else.

Small fish & chips £9.90p the fish was really nice & so were the chips small size was enough for me cooked fresh

Fast and friendly service, food quality food. Enjoyed my meal

Beautiful fish and chips the best in Bexhill-on-Sea

Had more skin that fish so disappointed

Tasty fish and chips with quick service and large portions - YUM 😋

Super food everything just what it says on the tin quality fish and chips

Really delicious crispy chips in a generous portion. Didn't have long to wait despite coming by on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Cash accepting which means they are welcoming to all. Friendly service, with kind attention paid to elderly customers.

According to the website, it should be open,but after a 10 min walk to get there , it is closed. Not amused, please update your opening times on the Internet.

Crispy chips and quick service!

Great friendly staff here, and the chips are great, the haddock tasted fresh. But two things let it down - a heavy / dense batter, and the fake vinegar they use (annoyingly common in fish n chip shops now) which tastes of nothing but gets your chip soggy. Best fish n chips for a light golden batter? Go to Maggie's in Hastings. Kings Road chippy in St Leonards is also much better.

Fantastic place to take friends and family

Best fish and chips,i have their gf batter which is the best ive had,top marks

I’ve given an average for the food only. We sat in to eat and what I witnessed was disgusting. Clearly a young girl who was working there had only just started and was learning the job. What I found upsetting was how the owner, I presume he was anyway by the way he was acting, was treating her. Constantly telling her off and not quietly either. This to me was an act of both control and bullying. I actually left my food because I couldn’t watch this happen. I’m equally as upset with myself for not asking the girl if she was ok.. I hope she is. I was watching and couldn’t see what she was doing so wrong!

We love coming here for our gluten free fish & chips. We come down from Tunbridge Wells and enjoy a walk along the promenade before. Thank You.

Really nice fish and chips. Chips cooked nice and crispy and the homemade tartar sauce was amazing

Great Fish n' Chips. Nice staff.

Best Fish and Chips in Bexhill (and Rye!) Traditional menu, some inside seating or a short stroll to the sea. Highly recommended

Lovely fish and chips, but, maybe a sign of the times, perhaps the most expensive I've ever had. £21 for two small cod and chips to take away.

Best fish and chips in town. Perfectly cooked, super fresh and tasty. Chips are great too. Really lovely guy who owns and works there and his staff too, always a smile and welcoming. What more could you ask for.

The best I've ever had! A lot of choice with different serving portions and several species of fish. Not too fatty, fish well cooked but not dry at all. Really superb quality. Friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant!❤️

Great service , lovely staff.Amazing food 6 🌟 .

Tuesday evening, good fish and chips, no much atmosphere.

Must be one of the best fish and chip shops in the country. Chips always crisp and the fish is cooked to order. This means the cod is alway perfect. Bravo!

So chips seemed to be ok, kids were pretty happy. We sat in to eat I had the fishcakes and homemade tartare sauce..... DON'T! I started to feel pretty much unwell straight after leaving. Fast forward to the next day I've had the worst stomach cramps and being throwing up continuously. Also shall I mention the toilets ...... perhaps I shouldn't only used them as my autistic 7 year old had to go but wow they are disgusting. Disappointed and extremely annoyed at how unwell I've been after eating at yout establishment.

Excellent piece of skate and very generous with chips.

Excellent fish and chips, the best I have had in a long time. Super fresh fish and non greasy. Good price.

Very nice food. Quite a long wait. We'll presented in cardboard boxes. Shop looks a bit tired.. new floor required! Nice touch was taking my name when placing my order at the counter for a takeaway, so they could ask whether I wanted salt & vinegar etc, when it was ready

Swift service, fresh, hot and crispy. What more do you need from a chip shop! (Apparently more than this - it needs at least 100 characters.)

We love this fish and chip shop. Highly recommend it! Great quality, tasty, big portions and friendly service. Thanks.

Worst chips I have ever seen, over priced and poor food.. change your oil and reheated chips you should be ashamed

Had a great time and the food was lovely. Fresh fish and great chips and good prices compared to nearby places

The dining room has opened again after being closed for a long time during the pandemic and thankfully, the fish and chips are still excellent. Their large cod is definitely large and and an absolute treat. We will keep up our regular visits now that...

Best fish n chips in Bexhill and post covid you can once more dine in. Good tea in a pot and everything. Decore is basic but keot vlean. Its the food that makes this place great.

repeat customer for years. Great place near the sea. food comes out fast and freshly cooked every time

Marinos is our go-to fish & chip restaurant during our regular stays in Bexhill. The food is always absolutely excellent and huge in quantity and the service is always lovely and cheerful. BUT…! Today we were not allowed a glass of tap water with our meal. We had to buy a very expensive £1.80 small bottle of water instead. Now we prefer tap water to bottled and I can’t remember the last time we were refused tap water in any restaurant of any kind; it must have been at least 20 years ago! So that is a big minus in my review. So thank you again Marinos for fantastic fish and chips, but a big no-no and minus one star for the water.

After reading good reviews here we thought we would try this place , felt a little unloved , and very dated not in a good way either . Food was ok £12 for a medium haddock and chips eating in restaurant,well cooked and didn’t have to wait too long . Service was good , sadly toilets let this place , tatty and felt unclean , mouldy ceiling .

The best cod and chips in Bexhill east Sussex 👍👋😃

My partner and I popped here for a quick dinner before a performance at the local theatre. We were tight on time and thought Marino's would do the job. The business caters for take-away as well as having a number of eat-in covers. The restaurant...

Marinos fish and chips. Good place for fish and chip in Bexhill. Friendly staff and not too expensive. There is also an eat in option.

The zenith of Fish and Chips! So happy to have discovered Marinos- it is the PLAICE to visit if you can get to Bexhill. We've all had great fish and chips in our time, but seriously these are different class. I love Marinos.

Very good chip shop doing brisk business for takeaway and at the tables. The actual chips were particularly good.

This place is a must if you're visiting Bexhill. The fish is beautifully cooked and the chips are the best we've eaten in ages. You can eat in or take them to eat on the seafront Fabulous

The batter was cooked to perfection the chips done with a nice crisp crunch The fish was flaky and white and cooked fresh Thoroughly enjoyed on Bexhill sea front
