Newington Fish Bar in Thanet

Great fish and chips wouldn't use any other

burger & chips beautiful - thankyou guys!

Award winning fish and chip shop, one of the best in the country. Easy to order online as well as in person. Very friendly welcome, great staff who remembered my name (nice touch), fast service, nice hot freshly cooked fish and chips, very tasty indeed. One personal point, I would prefer my chips a bit more well done and crispy.

The chips we got with our take away meals last Saturday were cold and half cooked their sausages are tasteless and far too expensive. Tesco’s Cumberland sausages are £3 for six and are brilliant so if you multiply the cheap crap sausages this restaurant is selling he is probably earning about 300 percent profit considering he is charging about £1.50 for each of his crap sausages and the parking there is very dodgy. But I do find the staff polite and pleasurable

Decided to drive here cos heard great things. Disappointing fish and chips. Fish batter really thin and soggy chips not great either. Was OK but only 2 stars for food. Friendly staff looked clean.

Had cod n chips in the little cafe at the back of the shop! Absolutely delicious, cod was pure white! Can't fault it! 👌

Top quality food and lovely people

Waited an hour from the time I ordered online to collecting it. A small order of 3 items, understand it's a Friday but just not good enough. Lady who served me did not apologise and completely ignored me when I first arrived. Worst experience

Lovely chips and very affordable

Definitely our favourite fish restaurant. Very clean and tidy. Loo is well decorated and clean. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was absolutely scrumptious. Cod was chunky and pure white. Chips cooked to perfection. Vegetarian battered sausages are really lovely. Battered veggie burger is the best I have ever tasted. Food was hot and not at all greasy. Can't recommend this enough.

Popular & worth travelling for. Can pre-order online. Many positives as per the information displayed inside the shop; established decades ago, certified sustainable fish, selected locally grown potatoes, pays living wage, fully recyclable packaging, 5 star hygiene. The food quality is superior to other fish & chip shops. Therefore not the cheapest, but never disappointing. The shop appears clean and well kept. Friendly staff, good service.

Massive big up to Newington Fish Bar staff who very kindly served my daughter and I after closing time. Great grub and lovely people, much thanks

Amazing as always, all cooked fresh to order

£28 for a very mediocre takeaway. Consisting of a medium cod, should havebeen a large. Chips dry and tasteless. This fish and chip shop gets good reviews. But this was not consistent with our order. Will not return we.vote with our feet.

Delicious fish n chips, very friendly and welcoming staff.

Our usual place had a power cut so decided to try this one as was supposed to be award winners, was so disappointed was very average chips OK fish had a big amount that was just batter and the mushy peas and curry sauce was just like water horrible, not award winners or outstanding in my opinion just average I did message them had no response you learn by your mistakes will stick to our usual one in future Sandys Folkestone the best around

It was a very nice time all the staff were lovely especially Jennie and they gave us the most wonderful fish and chips we’d ever had thank you Newington.Definitely would go back.

Always quality food from here. Can't recommend enough

Great Fish and chips and friendly staff. We called in as part of a cycling group and had an excellent meal. Thank you!

Delicious fish and French fries dishes!

Lovely food & friendly staff cod n chips was lovely

The chips were soggy and sausages were cold ,supposed to be the best fish and chip shop in Thanet but I don’t think so plus for 2 battered sausages and a savaloy and large chips £12.70 was expensive

Great service of a very tasty meal at reasonable prices.

Lovely fish and chips .Not greasy ,it tasted like old fashioned fish and chips. Would recommend 😀👍

Probably the best fish and chips in the known universe 😋

Food lovely and portion size very good great price too.

it’s a great fish and chip bar, great staff there and the food is always hot and really tasty

Best chippy around, we moved from Ramsgate to Margate and still travel just for this chippy! Love the fish and chips. Family favourite!

Hands down best chippy round here!!

I had no great expectations of the product lets be honest chips are chips and the can of soda is what that is. By now any one who has read my comments. Will know my biggest gripe is the lack of customer experiential service, that said I will always sing the praises of anywhere that delivers good customer service. So here goes: the woman who served was blinding, down to earth, great big small smile, warm welcome, polite, helpful and genuine in her service to me. Good job Newington fish bar.

Eaten here for the 1st time today, and very impressed with the food quality, the price and the service. Will be returning again soon.

Fish was great, but the chips could have done with another few minutes in the fryer. Such a shame as the place is clean and tidy and friendly staff. Edit : I should have mentioned the large portions and good value. Maybe they were in a hurry and my chips just missed out. I'll edit my review again next time I test their chips out

I traveled from Minster as the best chip shop in Kent advert sold it to me I had Skate and I must admit it was Hugh but quite oily but that’s just fried fish I personally thought the chips were dry and needed more cooking ( I didn’t eat them) overall I would say it was an ok meal but I wouldn’t drive past other chippies to get to them But on a good point my whole meal was only £12.80 where the Chip shop in Minster want £15.00 just for the skate (rip off)

Regular customer for the chicken burgers! Best I've ever had 😋

MR SHOELACE SAYS. really nice fish and chips which are great quality. What's not to like. Definitely recommend to anyone

Absolutely amazing fish and chips

Lovely staff on business trip from Yorkshire, fish falls apart in your mouth super fresh very impressed

Really nice fresh fish, We try to go there once a fortnight for a light bite cod n chips.

Sitting in, probably the best fish and chips I have ever had

Called in on the way home from work and couldn't believe what I'd stumbled upon. What an incredible atmosphere! The staff were an absolute delight, laughing and joking with all the customers. Every time another customer walked in, the staff were on first name tetms with them and knew their usual orders. The prices were great and the portions were enormous and, most importantly, the cod and chips were delicious. This is definitely my new number one choice for fish and chips. I promise I haven't been paid to say this, I'm just blown away by this place 👍🏻👍🏻

The food, once given, was very tasty and well cooked. It was very busy but my experience of the service was not good. Others received what looked like excellent service so I will go back as the haddock and chips I had tasted so good.

Probably the best local fish and chips at a reasonable price The girls are always amazing

Always good service and good food

Great chips, burger and chicken and mushroom pie

1 off the best chippys in Kent without a doubt fantastic homemade fish cakes and burgers to top off the traditional fish and chips

Been looking in East Kent for a good fish and chip shop for years and tonight we have found it. Excellent!

Without a doubt one of the best chip shops in Thanet. Friendly staff and good quality food.

Best homemade burgers and chips.

Great food, service wasn't great

I'm not usually into fish and chips, but I'm sold here! Their pie is also tasty. Loved it! Thank you! Bear in mind that they charged £2 for eat ins.

Simply the best! The batter is light and crisp. the fish is moist and the chips are great too. Friendly, hardworking staff

Excellent place for takeaway or eat-in. Massive portions and fresh

Dropped in for a portion of chips, honestly the tastiest I have had in a very long time 👍

By far the tastiest food and friendliest staff with such good prices and offers. I've been eating from here about 30yrs now and never once had a bad thing to say. Best chippy in the world 😍

Very disappointed with quantity of chips usually very good but the chips just about covered bottom of tray couldn’t see chips under fish and this was on both fish and chips I ordered, cost me £22.00 very disappointed

Best chip shop in Thanet. I've been using it since early 80's

Such a good fish and chip shop. Great quality and some really good homemade fishcakes. The staff are lovely and always have a smile for you.

Great little place for fish & chips!! We came in to restaurant on a Friday evening. Fish was lovely & fresh, as were the chips!

We visit this wonderful fish and chip shop every time were in the area. Always top quality food served by very friendly and welcoming ladies. Cant recommend this place highly enough. Cod, Battered Prawns, Chicken, Battered sausages , Battered mushrooms and of course mushy peas, everything always top notch. Never had a bad meal or even any reason to complain, which is so rare these days. Great customer service , Jen and Sarah are lovely and always welcoming.

Small Cod and chips and "lite bite" cod and chips both excellent value, great tasting meals. Very friendly and helpful throughout. Fully recommend, do not hesitate to visit for your fish and chip meal here - 5⭐ Be aware parking is not the best but don't let that put you off.

Fantastic food and the waitress Mel was awesome

You won't get any better than this, lovely staff and the food is off the scale, absolutely delicious.

I can never fault Newington Fish Bar. The food is always fresh and tasty and the staff serve you with a smile. I travel here from Minster as its the best chippie in Thanet in my opinion 10/10.

Best fish and chips shop in Thanet by far lovely staff and a small seating area food is always top notch

Food is always great and still hot when I get home. The staff are always polite and friendly.

Fish and chips were really good. Curry sauce wasn't my favourite but that's a personal choice. I didn't go in so can't rate service or atmosphere.

This is my regular chippy and wouldn't go elsewhere. Chips are always really yummy and the other food is always well cooked and flavoursome. The portions are large so good value for money too! They have an option for you to sit in if you like, and 2 separate doors for entrance and exit to make the running of the customers goes smoothly 👍

Simply the best fish and chips in the south east. Lovely food and excellent very friendly staff always happy, whenever I deliver at Screwfix Broadstairs I never fail to pop in.

You can't beat this place. Especially if you're in Newington and want fish & chips.

Excellent fish bites and chips.

Great fish and chip shop been using this for years still one of the best.

The BEST fish and chips and such welcoming friendly staff

Super staff Very clean Best cod and chips

Seems good.nice clean shop.freindly faces.all good

Lovely fish and chips. Friendly service too.

We were disappointed with our fish and chips dinner. The fish had ammonia taste and chips were over cooked and full of black bits.

Probably one of the best fish and chip shops this side of Kent. Quality food, fast, efficient and polite.

Great food and staff super nice. Probably the best place to eat in Kent.

Apologies for the lateness of this review. I used Newington Fish Bar for my husbands 70th birthday party in Manston Village Hall in September. I organised everything with Claire. All our guests commented on how good the fish and chips were. Nigel delivered the fish and chips at the time we wanted and they all arrived hot, and were absolutely delicious. Thank you to Nigel, Claire and everyone at Newington Fish Bar for such fantastic food and service. Helen Ellis

We had a party of 20. The fish and chips were delicious. Very helpful service, all came on time, piping hot. All enjoyed very much, and reasonably priced. We'll done all of you who work there. Thank you

Been using this shop for past couple of years now and the food it top quality. Won't go anywhere else and always highly recommended to friends and family. I'm very picky with my cod and hate it when shops serve with the skin still attached. The cod here is cooked and served to perfection 👌 Staff are always super friendly and will even chuck in a cheeky extra at the end of the day if they have leftovers.

Really tasty last time I was here is about 10 years ago and it is as good now as it was then... Lovely

If you want great fish n chips then you must try here!!!

This is the best Fish and Chip shop in Thanet The food is fantastic and a very quick turnaround upon ordering. Orders can be taken over the phone in advance

Super friendly staff. Batter was a bit thick and thus under-cooked

Excellent fish and chips and great service

Very tasty fish and chips, but batter a little thick on the fish.

Best fish and chip shop for miles

Excellent customer service. The fish and chips they do tastes better than the fish and chips sold from other fish bars. The people who work there do everything to a very high standard. Despite the fact that it is near a busy road, the atmosphere inside is pleasant and friendly. This fish bar is something I would recommend if you are looking for high-quality standard fish and chips.

Great fish & Cips very clean,staff are very friendly best chippy around.

Been here loads of times come down from London visit family. My wife used to work in famous seashell in London Lisson grove in its heyday . This is as good as that if not better . Prices very reasonable 3 us sat on with cold drink 3 cod chips etc £39 bargain . Cant wait for next visit . Shame not got one nearer home thanks . Tried all the others in ramsgate definitely best good service spotless clean polite

Fantastic fish and chips! Great prices and lovely staff. The food is amazing and generous portions too.

Love the battered mushrooms from here they are amazing

Lovely friendly staff and yummy chips I highly recommend them

Best fish and chips in the SE of England.

Excellent food...would of been 5 star, but unfortunately the restaurant area is near a very busy and noisy environment....especially on a Friday evening..

Went in last night (03/04/22) and the two ladies closing were an absolute pleasure. Kind, chatty and provided a great service. Unfortunately I am not local however if I keep dating the beautiful young lady round the corner I will be back. The food was top notch too

Excellent fish and chips, lovely friendly staff.

Sat in and ate at this great fish and chip shop. The service was kind, helpful and knowledgable. The fish and chips tasted great. Good size portions for a good price. Well worth a stop if passing or visiting area.

Me &my husband have just enjoyed the best cod& chips, and rig & chips ever, they were delicious.thank you Nigel and the gang for a great meal.and happy easter.kevin & Sandra.
