Oliver's in Tunbridge Wells

One of the best chippy I've been to, very polite staff and friendly service

I have been going to this chippy for over a year now. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and the food is always great. The only time I seem to have a bad experience here is with the brunette lady that is usually front of house. She appears to go out of her way to be rude specifically to me to the point I would choose another takeaway option if she is working when passing by just to avoid a bad vibe. Manners and kindness cost nothing.

£3 for the worlds SMALLEST bag of chips & being a Londoner you know your portions, £3 will get you a bag 3x the size at least, these lot are raking it in!

My son went to Olivers from the lake and when he returned half the order was missing so instead of large sausage and chips and a fish and chips there was only a small bag of chips and the fish and chips no sausages

Superb food! The best fish and chip restaurant in the area in my opinion

Although the food and shop itself are great, when did fish and chips become so expensive 😞. Takeaway is not the same cost as a meal out

Had small cod and chips. The cod was a decent size and the batter excellent, crispy and tasty. Probably one of the best battered fish from a chippie I've had. Chips also good, cooked until golden brown. £19.95 for two small (but ample) cod and a large portion of chips which was more than enough for two people.

Sweet best chippy around great staff. Come from East peckham love it. Well done peeps keep up the good work.

No complaints here. It's worth knowing that they don't accept card payments temporarily (as of 10th Feb 2024, for about a month may be?).

Excellent fish and chips at good prices. Service was quick.

Olivers is a very friendly, local chippy. Most things are cooked fresh and are very tasty. Definitely gets my recommendation

Lovely staff and can't beat the fish and chips. One of the best I've ever had. Definitely recommend

Great fish and chips Lovely service

Oliver's is reasonably good fish an chip shop, service is quick in fact as the fish is in most cases cooked to order, I wish they would cook the fish a little bit longer, as sometimes the batter on the inside is a little undercooked although the fish is cooked (why is that)?. Fat too hot?. It's a little pricy too but everything is at present. Nice staff always polite.

Lovely fish and chips! Good portion sizes and nice staff

This shop should be embarrassed to call themselves a fish and chip shop. High prices for the smallest portions and what seems like frozen chips!

Fantastic Service and Food , Served always with a Smile , Quality of Food and staff are excellent , cannot fault them , Best fish and chips in Kent. Highly recommend. :)

Good local chip shop. Reasonably priced and a good range.

Very disappointed in portion size, not value for money compared to other chip shops. Such a shame as the food itself was delicious.

Delicious Jumbo Sausage & Chips as ever

Love Olivers, get my chips here every time.

I love it here they make good fish and chips nice workers and do you know what else is good here The fact I sent you that prank ahhahahah it was so funny you’re children never dialled 911 I cannot believe you fell for it hahaha and you thought it was real of course not you could tell it was fake Cheryl price hahahahhs

We have been visiting for a few years and the fish and chips is tasty but the cost of living crisis has reduced the portion size. Sadly the "large cod" is no longer large. £24 for one quite small "large cod", a rock, battered sausage and a portion of chips is not value for money. Absolutely can't knock the quality of the food which is always excellent.

Good fish and chips. Prices not too bad. Staff (polish girl) very nice.

All the staff here are fab and the food is lush! So lucky to have them as my local chippy!

Need to put on more salt and vinegar. But other than that nice fish and chips.

Second visit here to see if any better. Cod was tiny but nicely cooked but chips for a medium portion was probably just over a potatoes worth and not the best tasting bit 'dried out' wont be using again.

Definitely at the upper end of price for fish and chips, sadly not the best. The food was fine, but you pay extra for chips with your fish, and there were barely any! Certainly not enough for almost £3 worth of chips. The curry sauce was congealed, and the large cod was not particularly large, and it was very thin. We paid £23.75 for a large cod and chips, small cod and chips and curry sauce, overall disappointing, we won’t be coming back.

We have been here several times and never been disappointed with fish and chips. Lovely cooked fish with light crispy batter and chips are always perfect. A friendly service adds to the pleasant experience. Keep it up.

Oliver is our family favourite, the staff are always friendly anf food is always nice

Had Cod and chips was very nice

I had the children's fish and chips, it was delicious, piping hot and plenty of it.

Bought 3 specials (lemon Sole) last night plus chips etc, was sickened to find in 2 of these fish contained large egg masses(roe) the size and length of my index finger! when I cut in I was horrified to find deep fried roe spilling out onto my plate. This made all of us feel sick, had to put it in the bin. Called to highlight this , spoke with Theresa who said I should have requested the fish without the Roe🤔. Was told this was not a fish and chip shop as not everyone gets their fish from Billingsgate like Oliver’s do, would inform their chef of my call. Really, customer always right and you should let them be aware that could be the case , that the fish could contain this. My name was taken and offered a discount on my next visit but on reflection don’t want to risk this again. I must say that in the past I’ve never had a problem with Oliver’s, I didn’t like the way my call was handled, very defensive and made to feel it was my fault for not selecting de roed fish 😬 What a waste of £41!

Chicken chips and hot wings simply delicious and friendly helpful staff and good prices been back several times

Always served with a smile, And good munch too x

we clean and very friendly staff

Fish was soggy, chips bone dry, no vinegar or salt, just rubbish, curry sauce 2 quid for small coffee cup, rip off - 15 quid for fish medium chips and sauce. should have got a Chinese

No words can describe how disgusting the food is from this place. Overpriced filth! Feel ill, from the small amount tried! 🤢🤢🤢! *****Update***** Since I wrote this review I have been sick…… definitely dodgy fish should have know from how sloppy the batter was…… 🤮

Chips are very nice, haddock and cod bites on the other hand tasted very fishy and not very pleasant to eat. Expected alot better for the price of the fish!

Best fish and chips and lovely team !! And an update tonight 7.1.23… Delicious cod and chips with pickled egg and curry sauce … even with the price increase,,which, let’s face it has hit every business the past 12 months , I still feel good value… Thankyou Oliver’s

Fair choice of food. Not clear ordering instructions relating to eat in surcharge. But was ok overall

So lucky to have a decent chippy in the village! We had 2 x battered sausage and chips, a piece of fried chicken, burger and curry sauces and everything was cooked perfectly and so tasty. The lady running the shop is joy personified! We ate in and she let me open my bottle of wine and gave me a glass (BYOB, baby!!). Everyone left with a smile.

Really nice but pretty expensive.

Quite simply THE BEST fish and chip shop I have used inland. Quality fish and chips. Eat in or take away. Fantastic staff who really care. I will drive 7 miles to this place rather than go to one in my village 2 minutes away.

Some of, if not the best fish and chips in the area. Crispy batter on the fish that stays crispy on the drive home. Well cooked chips.

Came in 20mins after opening and still didn't have chips ready, so had to wait 10 minutes. Chips tasted funny, an aftertaste from some kind of cleaning product I think. Otherwise very bland, not your classic fish and chip shop taste. Also, very expensive. Next time I'll drive to East Peckham where you get amazing chips for a reasonable price.

Very nice food and made to order

This is the first time me and my wife have eaten from olivers and its the last time the large fish wasn't large more like small the large cheesy chips was smaller than the small chips I'm sorry but wow get your portion control correct before you start charging £20.

Food was good and doors open to fresh air making it a safe venue if vulnerable.

Manager is rude to his staff. Chips were tasteless and we don't believe the fish was cod. It didn't look or flake like cod. Cheapest tasteless sausages used, so cheap they look white in the middle and the batter was really greasy. Just to top it off, you are charged an extra 20% to eat inside and this is not advertised. Be prepared to pay over the norm. A Sausage in batter and chips and small cod and chips was £18.50. Unfortunately there is no competition nearby and I think this is why the food is overpriced. Very disappointed.

Just had a portion of chips, not cooked, hard in the middle still, Yuk.

Very overpriced. Not convinced the fish was cod. Greasy batter, dry tasteless chips. Owner wants an extra 20% just to eat in and is arrogant and cocky when questioned. Uses tasteless cheap sausages but charges ridiculous prices due to lack of competition in the area. Staff ordered about rudely and their morale seems low because of this. Clean premises just poor quality food and service

Lovely food!! Very kind, friendly staff :)

Very nice chips! We were on holiday and never thought we'd find a chippy open on a Sunday (1- 8pm). But to eat in they slap a 20% "Service Charge" on, so two little plates of chips & two cups coffee came to £11:20!!!

GREAT FISH 🐠 &CHIPS,TASTE LOVELY,WENT THERE WITH MY SISTER INLAW ROSIE &OUR MATE ANN,VERY HELPFUL STAFF&THERE BRING YR FOOD 2 THE TABLE ON CHINA PLATES,GREAT SERVICES&VERY FRIENDLY STAFF,&THERE DO ICE-CREAMS,

Good service and quality fish/chicken chips

Very good fish and chips served here and good range of food

Well I’ve had I’ve eaten pie 🥧 and 🍟 from places and they have been not great so the first time in a while I had worked late so we tried this place in paddockwood last night I was a little worried but oh my gosh 😱 for a start for a small amount extra you could eat in wow 🤩 for this you get table service 🍽 I mean fare is fare I’m not doing the washing up right. We all so got a mug of tea 🍵 now the tea was made very well and chips perfect 👍 and pie too I have to say I enjoyed it we both did we had the meal in there the man whom looked after us was very nice gentleman polite smiling happy makes life feel just that little better at the end of a busy day you know that arhhhhhh feeling wonder 💭

Always good service and food spot on

Chips were amazing but too many so go small portion, fish was good, batter on sausages was not crispy so that stopped us giving 5 stars.

Always excellent service and food

Always pleasant and polite good food, well packaged.

Staff are friendly, the food is prompt! 👍🏻😃 Crispy chips and batter, beautifully cooked fish, and delicious pickles. The best we have had in a very long time.😍😁 Make the effort, it will be worth it!!

Lovely staff. Lovely fish and chips. Not far from us ...so ideal.

The management team were all very kind and helpful, they all provided a great, welcoming service with a smile👍🏻 very pleased, will be making Oliver's our daily place to go to 😊

Best fish and chips in Paddock Wood big chips tender cod and nicely even crispy batter it's lovely

The chefs & staffs are doing great jobs to serve the customers. Friendly staffs especially the lady took the orders, she always smiles and very polite. The place is very clean, open up the front door to enjoy eating indoor comfortably. I ordered a large cod with regular chips and something else, the fish was very fresh and cooked beautifully. Crunchy outside, softy inside and chips were not oily. I enjoyed the food very well😃

What has happened to the quality since the refurb? Has it had a change of management? On our first visit back we discovered that one of our curry sauces was only 2/3's full, so ok these things happen, so our next visit just 1week later we get chips that are Luke warm and curry sauce so diluted it was tasteless... won't be giving it a third go.👎 Reply to owner... With all due respect guys, the chips were luke warm the curry sauce was tasteless ... what's to discuss 🤔

Used to travel nearly 20miles to get chips from here as these were consistently the best ones around. Dont know what happened since the refurb but everytime since then, the food has gone downhill. Chips not hot, curry sauce watery, even though prices have increased. Wont be going back. One good thing come from it.....now saving money on fuel...every cloud and all that

Long wait for a bag of chips (they were alright when I got them) 25 minutes waiting for chips is time I won't get back

Super food which tasted really good; smaller than your average shop portions. The cod batter was really light and crispy. The chips were just right - a great balance between crispy and soft. Star deducted for the size of the portions. I thought the "large" cod was actually quite small; at any other chip shop it would've been considered a medium at best. Regular chips were also a tad on the small side.

Dark crispy batter cooked right through and flakes of nice white cod. Just like old fashioned fish and chips. This was our first visit will definitely not be the last. Best fish and chips around.

Busy which is always a great sign but the service is efficient and super friendly! The fish is always cooked well with the batter lovely and crispy the way I like it 😊

First rate fish and chips shop.

Took some to a friend's for lunch, sat in their garden, lovely fish and chips

We have ordered a few times from Oliver's, and each time food and service have been excellent. Delivery drivers are always friendly. Looking forward to our next order.

Disappointed chips are so dry steak and kidney pie also dry and the fish was to wet from oil. Normally ok here but it's gone down hill very quickly. Will not go again

fish and chips are wonderful staff always friendly ,boss brilliant

Oh nice. This is a good traditional chippy

45 minute wait for 2 portions of chips, they made everyone queue outside except for one person who waited inside. If we hadn't already paid we would have gone elsewhere.

First time ordering a takeaway from here. We ordered chicken burgers, cod, saveloys and chips. Had to wait despite ordering but it was worth the wait. Food was lovely and fresh. Shall be back.

Great fish and chips. Friendly staff

Good local chippy. Good prices and friendly staff

Busy place, which means it's good

Everything was cooked perfectly, my only comment and reason for 4* instead of 5* was my large cod wasn't very large! Apart from that they're brilliant and they have special fish on regularly.

Food was generally ok, but the portion sizes are a JOKE. 2 and a half quid for a large got me about 2 small handfuls. That’s it. Also the fish was very greasy. Nowhere near as good as the old chip shops back in the day, or my local in East Peckham

Lovely staff, good service and great fish and chips.

Great fish and chips, can get very busy in the evenings.

Decent chippy, not cheap though

I feel like I have been rubbed! Ordered a large cod & came back home just to find out a kid's menu size cod! It is such a shame that the other fish& chips shop had to close & Paddock Wood is stuck with this one.

Good food, but seems a little expensive...

Fantastic fish and chips. Consistently

Usually go here with no problem until today when I ordered a large cod. Got home to find it overcooked and full of oil and by the looks of it they gave me a small as it wasnt the size their large cod usually is

Always friendly service, tasty food and at an excellent price. Highly recommended.

I've been buying from this fish and chips shop since they opened and have always got on really well with them. Until today. I ordered exactly the same as always. I have a medical condition and can't eat very much at all so have always had a handful of chips from a small portion put in my bag and the rest in my friends bag. I can't have vinegar as it reacts terribly with my condition and would cause a spasm. So this is another very valid reason why I ask for the chips to be split. Anyway, it was busy in there today so she asked me to split the chips at home. Because of the reasons above, I asked if I could split them myself in the restaurant so we could put vinegar on my friends chips. I don't have vinegar at home because my children don't like it and I can't have it. She gave me the most awful look and told me that they were extremely busy and I was just being demanding! Then she said really sarcastically, you'll be lucky if we get it the right way round! I rarely get upset but this woman actually made me cry! I won't be going back for quite some time, if at all... Some might say that maybe she was having an off day but you don't treat people like this, regardless.

Best fish and chip shop in Kent

Ordered a battered sausage which was under cooked but the main problem was the amount of fat that poured out of the batter when bitten into. This is poor standards and refuse to return even if starving to death!

Fish and batter sausage was extremely greasy

A fine fish and chip shop... I just wish they still did Spam fritters as the previous incarnation of the place did.
