Old Town Fryer in Hastings

Ok so spent 30 pounds on food to take away and chips were over cooked pasty was that over done I had to pull it apart even my dog would not eat the chips oh well food for the gulls if of course they eat it avoid like the plague

Lovely view upstairs. Recommend the plaice fish! Had the floor to ourselves. As quirky as those fish plates are they were impractical and difficult to eat from. Reliably standard good chocolate. Had some adjustable options for vegans (very hard along the coast with a rich history of fishing, I know but we managed and was enjoyed) Calamari was strange though. Too rubbery and would not recommend. Service was the best thing about this place. Staff were friendly and very accommodating could not fault them on that :)

Everything perfect best fish chips

Cod was excellent chips cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly will definitely return

Excellent. Food cooked fresh so really nice and hot right to the end of my meal. I had cod and chips. Son had saveloy and chips. No complaints. Chips were crispy and the batter on the cod was also crispy. Staff were lovely. Will make sure this will be the place to visit whenever in Hastings.

I don't know what the chips taste like as have been waiting 20 minutes for takeaway chips...There were only 4 people including us in the queue

The fish and chips in this restaurant never fail to impress and would not eat them anywhere else in Hastings. The staff are friendly and the service efficient. The fish and chips are outstanding.

Beautiful relaxing Area in Hastings

Every time we are in Hastings we always go to the old town fryer. The food is always hot and delicious. The service are friendly and always happy to help. It's a great atmosphere to bring kids too with the upstairs seating area having great views!

Lovely place for family fish and chips, we managed to get a table upstairs in the window, people watching with awesome fish and chips. The service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and the staff attentive.

The menu is a delightful mix of classic and contemporary dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. The service was prompt, and I felt like a valued guest throughout my meal.

Best fish&chips I have ever tasted, higly recommended.

Worst fish & chips in my life. No idea what the fish was & the oil tastes rancid. Fish inedible, chips the same due to the taste. Unsure what fish is being served up. £15 in the bin! A fish& chip shop has one job & they couldn’t even do that

I came for a daily visit to Hastings and I was looking for having fish and chips as usual since it's my priority every time I come to Hastings. And I finally found the best in town, which is Old Town Fryer fish&chip shop. Everything's cooked to order and so fresh. I highly recommend to visit Old Town Fryer if you ever come down to Hastings and fancy some fish&chips.

First visit to Hastings. Found a local fish and chips in Hastings (They were recommended by some other local people). We ordered one Cod and Haddock and they were so good and delicious. Will definitely come back when next time we visit Hastings.

A day out with my 82 year old wheelchair bound mother , my sister & my niece & nephew . The staff were lovely & allowed my mum to order a childs meal as she has a small appetite . Every dish was perfectly cooked , the prices are very good and there is definately something for everyone on the menu . When we left the restaurant my sister had left her purse on the table ! The young man who had looked after us came running to find us & return my sister`s purse , best chip shop by a mile ... Thank you for a wonderful lunch !

we had 2x cod and chips with mushy peas £27.00 for a take away very expensive. chips good one fish was obviously not fresh more like frozen as it was cut with straight edges as you would buy at a supermarket. the other not sure it was cod not fluffy or light flesh was not good poor taste. peas were very bland. why cannot shops on the seaside sell decent fish caught that day?

The best double fried chips in Hastings. Truly the best. Not a single one left over from a very generous medium portion. They don’t stay open late, so don’t miss out

The best chips by far in Hastings

Nice cosy place for fish and chips

Best chips we have ever had!! My daughter and I spent 3 days travelling around Kent last week,in our stop in Hastings we were craving for some chips with Ketchup and ended up here, seriously they were soo good, I think I paid £3.50 for the cone and there was plenty, we ate them all not even 1 left, delicious. The service was lovely and super dupper quick🤗🤗we will be back

It's a great place to have some delicious fish and chips. Service was great, very child friendly. It's great for our 1-year-old to have some fish. Loved how they served the meals on fosh designed plates, too!

Wasnt worth the money spent there

Stopped off here for a snack. These were the best chips we ever tasted. Light and crispy and full of flavour. Absolutely delicious.

Amazing fish and chips... Seaside food at its best

Very good fish & chips, very friendly staff, Great atmosphere, highly recommended

Took a visitor from the USA for his first ever authentic fish and chip meal. He loved it, especially as the portions were American sized.

Great service and lovely fish and chips. Good portion size. Loved it and will be back

We ordered 2 fish and chips my wife's fish was perfect and chips amazing. My fish was as good as hers a little dry. Chips were amazing tho.

We had a large cod and chips, eaten in 2 mins. You must get the garlic viniger. Great spot on the beach. by far one of the best fish and chips i have had ever. came highly recommended from hot potato.

Lovely people best chips in Hastings!

Great Fish n Chips. Cooked fresh to order. Nice seating area with a view upstairs.

It was not the best very greasy and not worth the money a lot was wasted fish had no taste and was so greasy

Amazing, just amazing. Staff was friendly, fish was excellent and the chips were delicious. I would recommend to go upstairs so you can get a view of the seaside. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

We were lucky enough to sit upstairs in the window looking out across the funfair and beach. The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean. The food was prompt and delicious. The plates were quirky and fun. It was a bit more expensive compared to other places especially the drinks.... £2.50 for a can of Coke! Overall, very good.

Just had a take out,fish not fresh,batter stodgy,chips overcooked,not happy,was also expensive

Great fish and chips and a very friendly restaurant - Thanks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "What a hidden gem! This fish and chips restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The fish is always impeccably fresh, with a light, crispy batter that's just perfect. Each bite feels like a taste of the seaside! The atmosphere is charming and inviting, with friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic meal, this place is an absolute must-visit. Can't wait to come back for more!"

Wow what can I say.. Excellent fish and the chips are amazing..the place is clean tidy and also has a little area for the kids to eat.. everything seemed fresh and the oil very clean.. very impressed with this establishment credit to all involved there.. will defo be coming back..

I went to the Old Town Fryer with my family! The kids had cod and chips and I had the locally sourced Rock from the fishermen literally the other side of the road. The Fish was cooked to perfection and as fresh as you like! Bosh!

Great service, and great food with a view. Manager was very polite and very friendly. It’s very clean and tidy and we didn’t have to wait long for the food. Highly recommended

The scampi was bad musshy didn’t look fish like

We ate an amazing fish plate. It was very delicious and satisfying. The environment and staff are very warm and they do their job well. But the venue manager was a real friend. I'm glad I knew you. Food, conversation, sunset, sea, what more could you want? Definitely one of the places to visit... Thank you 🙏🫶🏻

Usually the best fish and chip shop in Hastings, with great quality food and very good portion sizes, but unfortunately the portion size of chips appeared to have shrunk considerably today and was not adequate for the price. Hopeful that this was just a one off 🤞

Absolutely not tasty food. Dry chicken, fish with skin, all sauces for extra money. The unfriendly staff

Food was delicious. Fish and chips freshly cooked. Only problem staff had a problem keeping up . Everyone had to remind them to cook thier orders

Great experience! Visited old town fryer with family and the food and service was just fantastic. Would highly recommend for anyone after quality service and food.

We both enjoyed our Haddock and Chips very much in this lovely restaurant. The owner was a very friendly gentleman indeed.

I've visited for takeaway food on a few occasions now, with every experience being as good as the last. The food has been of consistent excellent quality and cooked to order. I'm based on the opposite side of town; travelling here is well worth the time and effort.

Great fish and chips, good menu to choose from , very friendly place to eat will use again

Grabbed some chips for a butty at home. Good thick cut proper chips. Not greasy. Was astounded at the price for chips though. But I don't eat out much.

I have had the opportunity to try the famous fish and chips from this local restaurant, and I must say that the reputation they have is well deserved. The plate was huge and the fish was perfectly fried, with a crispy coating on the outside and tender meat on the inside. Additionally, the price was very reasonable considering the portion size, making it an attractive option for those looking for a filling meal without spending too much. However, I must mention that the customer service left a little to be desired. Despite asking for more lemon to accompany our fish, they only brought us a small additional wedge, which was not enough to satisfy our needs. In fact, they didn't even give us half of a whole lemon, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this inconvenience, we really enjoyed the food overall. The fish was delicious and the portion was generous, which somewhat made up for the lack of customer service. In short, if you are looking for a good fish and chips at a reasonable price, this place definitely delivers, just make sure you order enough lemon beforehand.

Best F&C in a long time. I'll be back!!!

Excellent fish and chips, good portions. Always had a good meal, fish is always fresh and chips are cooked just right. Family friendly and always a good atmosphere in the main restaurant.

Rather expensive BUT best chips and fishcake, fried dry and tasty in good quality oil. Recommend.

Bad. Soggy batter on leathery thin strip of what meant to be medium cod that at best a small. My wife’s portion the same. Chips ok. Disappointing.

Unfortunately my fish was off smelt of ammonia, they did change it without apology . The second batch was also off I gave up at that point . I have eaten here In the past and it's been fine but I'm afraid I've been put off now .

Beautifuly cooked chips and great service with a smile. Sausage could be of a bit better quality but all in all nice experience.

Very nice freindly staff great food highly recommended

Been using this places for many years and always had a great experience. Food cooked to perfection every time, thank you guys

this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to chef. We all enjoyed your food

Excellent fish and chips and generous portions, at a good price. We had large rock and chips and large haddock and chips. Both very filling and nicely cooked fresh. Good crispy batter. Comparatively the mushy peas seem a little expensive. We had an early lunch when it was quiet. Unfortunately the very old awards on the wall may be a bit of a put off for some.

Although recommended this restaurant, there was nothing particularly special about the fish and chips.

Went for RNLI fundraiser, great food and amazing staff.

Very child friendly . Nice pirate boat area for kids to play and eat . Waitress very helpful and friendly Price was very reasonable. Curry sauce very nice . Nice touch having the ketchup and salt / vinegar on table so can help your self's.

We came to visit Friday 20th Oct as a table of 3, we was greeted as we arrived and shown to our table. We had zara serving us and she was amazing, I was very indecisive with my order, she was very patient with me and nothing was too big or small. Zara made our visit fun, relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming, and the food was amazing. The restaurant was clean and tidy. We will definitely be returning and highly recommended old town fryer. Thank you all for a lovely experience.

Delicious fish and chips, great for kids. They actually have a little fishing boat inside for the kids to eat in. Mine loved it!

Excellent food and very friendly staff

Service was good. It wasn't busy when I visited, we were the only customers so we were served promptly. Cod was very good with a nice crispy batter. Chips were a bit limp and not to my taste but they were edible. Mushy peas were great but i didnt like their curry sauce. The tea was served in a large cup and was great. The place was clean and the price was fair too. Overall a nice experience and a place I'd return to.

Great good, well cooked, not oily or soggy!! Highly recommended

Friendly service and very tasty food. Nice to sit up stairs. Great table service.

You are spoilt for choice for fish and chip restaurants in the Hastings Old Town. We went for this one because it had a decent sized inside space. We went for the Haddock and the Plaice, and they were both substantial and very good. And with good friendly service levels from the team working the restaurant section we had no complaints with this one.

£7 scampi for 8 pieces of frozen food, chips were like deep fried mash potato. Calamari were ok. The chicken and mushroom pie had barely any chicken. 27£ for chips, scampi, calamari and 2 cokes. I would not come back.

Very friendly, very generous staff and owner, always well cooked, golden crispy cod and chips, highly recommended.

Really enjoyed meals, everything great. nice service, good staff

This is a lovely fish and chip restaurant to go to when visiting Hastings. The staff are friendly and efficient, and my fish and chips were heavenly! No hassle just a great meal when stopping off for a break, Well done!

A favourite 🐟 & 🍟 takeout in Hastings Old Town

Came back to England to visit my family with my American wife. I wanted her to try really good, quality fish and chips. I took us all out to eat and my sister chose here. Gotta say, it didn't disappoint at all. The fish was perfectly cooked and fresh. The sausage was of equal quality, and the saveloy was delicious too. The chips were, if I'm honest, the best part. They were most excellent and so tasty that the first couple I had didn't need salt or vinegar on them. I like salt and vinegar so I added some, and it managed to somehow improve them. The service was good as we had a large dine in order for 11 people and they got everything right and it was all nice and hot. Highly recommended by the locals as a good quality plaice (seewhatididthere?), and also highly recommended by me.

Really enjoyed our meals, but they were slightly longer arriving than I would have hoped. Drinks were initially served very efficiently but regrettably one was missing that was forgotten. Had to be chased, but did receive apology.

Came for a spontanious lunch and decided on this fish and chip shop due to it being nice and busy. They seated me straight away, and quickly took my order. I ordered the Scampi and chips with mushy peas, food arrived nice and quickly in about 15 minutes, lovely and piping hot. It was delicious, scampi was lovely a crispy and chips were fantastic. The fish shaped plate completed the meal! Would definitely come again.

Very expensive and the food portions are very small. Staff were pretty rude. Lot better restaurants on seafront, so would avoid this one.

Food and service was lovely . Added perk - fish shaped plates and comical banana skin floor sign !!

A great place to eat in Hastings. Aaliya is a credit to the restaurant. So friendly and helpful.

Service was a bit 2nd rate hut tbf the waitresses are very young and inexperienced. Fish and chips were really good and can have zero complaints . Prices competitive and nice restaurant to eat in.

Ízetlen kaja, putri hely. Ne itt kóstold meg a fish&chips-et

Really good food, always cooked fresh and well priced.

Was not impressed with the Cod sold to me - certainly did not taste or look like cod . Service was poor given a plastic fork to sit outside on their tables , 20 pounds spend plate was apparently an extra charge . Had a beer and a savaloy - fish was a letdown and overpriced I thought for the quality and experience. Chips were okay . Apparently fresh fish not available in the area - in which case I might suggest visiting a local pub

I'm 65 years old and the plaice was the worst I've ever had the fish had almost disintegrated under the concrete batter. Miserable service

We as a family have used the Old Town Fryer for about ten years, never had a bad meal, and always left satisfied, and will continue to use. 🙂

Ate here last night and was thoroughly impressed with the large cod and chips. Fish was HUGE and food was cooked fresh you could definitely tell, came to the table steaming hot! My wife is not much of a fish eater but she tried the scampi and finished the plate so no complaints there! 100% recommend, will definitely be returning!

Very quick service lovely curry sauce

Probably a bit expensive for what was served to us

Hi took a group in there last night. The service was excellant and so was the food. Great Chippie and Staff are really friendly.

Top notch nosh on Father's Day, fish and chips, sausage and chips and saveloy with chips. Served on white fish shaped plates. The staff were really busy so serving up a sausage instead of the saveloy was forgivable and rectified quickly. The missing fish and chips took so long to get that most of us were almost finished our meals before it eventually arrived. It doesn't take almost twenty minutes to correct a major screw up usually, but as long as people know that some of the staff were young and could not read each others writing, and possibly only there for their wages and no interest in customer care then they can avoid busy days like we intend to do in future. 2 mistakes out of 6 meals would usually deserve the wrath of my poisonous pen, however, on previous less busy days when youngsters are not working this business has been great. So with this in mind and not wanting to crucify one of the good fish and chip shops I had to bear in mind that even I can get things wrong (honestly). As we left a larger family quickly took our table as all other tables were full. The food, both eat in and take away has been consistently good/great, so as a small party of six we would all be returning without hesitation.

The best haddock and chips I've eaten in a long time!

Great tasting food, fish was huge, chips were best I've had in a while

First time in Hastings and was recommended this place by my pal. Huge chips and even bigger fish. Lovely

Great atmosphere! Great customer service and as always amazing food! Everytime I come to Hastings I pop into Old Town Fryer. Never disappoints

Lovely cod and chips at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff

Excellent fish and chips but accompanying sauces spoiled the experience
