Ossies Fish Bar in Canterbury

Best chips and fish in Canterbury

Nice local chip shop, open 11.30-2pm then 4.30pm-9.30 & all day on a Saturday, freshly cooked fish, unfortunately the curry sauce wasn't great but that's just my personal opinion!

Proper good quality, fresh Fish & Chips. Highly recommended

Chips had obviously been sat there since lunch time when I got them at 4, lots of black chips and extremely crunchy! Would not recommend

Very quiet place. The manager and staff are very friendly and easygoing. They always engage with the customers which serve the best chicken and chips and fish and chips along with sauce and vinegar.

I moved to Canterbury a few years ago and my first meal was from this Chip Shop - back then it was great. The year that has gone, the place has got worse and worse. The staff are friendly but the guy cooking and serving could be a bit better hygiene wise but I am happy to ignore that part. The food the latest visits is clearly cooked earlier and chips are sitting keeping warm, this might seem an unfair gripe but chips lose consistency and become soft when not fresh (its only chips that I think sit keeping warm - other things are cooked fresh like battered fish and sausage and these fresh foods in my opinion are tasty). Overall I think and this is a guess, they are cost cutting (which is understandable to keep cost down), but it has been at the expense of a good meal. I had 3 bad meals the last times I visited so I won't be visiting again.

Freshly cooked food while you wait. Always delicious

Best chip shop in Canterbury. Uses paper so no polystyrene waste as other chip shops in Canterbury are creating. Very good portions. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I have tried this Chippy periodically over the years because it is close to where I live and every time I am always disappointed with the chips. They are like cardboard and the worst chips ever. Always reheated and tasteless. This will be the last time and will take the extra journey to herne bay cos the chip shops are far better

First time using this chip shop and will defo be back. Food was nicely cooked and massive portions, cod was lovely and saveloy was cooked to perfection ( and believe me i am fussy with my saveloy) Guys behind the counter were brillant, couldn't of asked for better customer service. Gona be our local chip shop from now on, 10/10 ossies 😊😊 ( this is the shop in Sturry)

Great portion sizes n freshly cooked

Good sized portions. Get what you have paid for! Quick service and all fresh

Me and my husband Had the worst sausage and chips we've ever had today, rubber like, tasted like had been in the fryer forever, would not recommend

Always freshly prepared fish and chips very generous portions great taste 👌

Great takeaway food served quickly portions are large good price to

Very good battered sausage, very god chips, and excellent saveloy!

We we're staying in Canterbury for holiday and one evening we stopped, grabbed some Fish n Chips and Chicken to take home. The crew working were very nice and even let us try a couple of things we had never heard of. Food didn't take very long to get. Nothing was bad, it's was a good, straightforward meal. Was a bit greasy, that's was to be expected since it was a bag of fried food. Just didn't find it to have much taste or flavor. Just everything coated in a bland flour and quickly fried. They gave pretty good-sized portions, so we felt we got our money's worth. For a quick meal, Ossies will meet your needs, but if you are looking for something more flavorful, you might want to look for an alternative.

Having found this fish bar a few years back, since the new owners have taken over although very nice the food has gone down I remember the fish was white batter golden and chips nice and golden I don't know what's happened but not as nice as before sorry guys

Best fish & chips around. Lovely staff. All food prepared to order.

Amazing fish and chip shop! Best in the local area by far! Been going there for fish and chips for years and they never disappoint :) !!!

Consistently good fish and chips, generous portions at reasonable prices. Chips tonight were the best we have had in a long time.

Ok chips looked liked they have been through the fryer twice sadly With the costs going up takeaways need to be on their game

Great chips and even better fish. Portion sizes are very generous and service is brilliant

Have used this chippy since it was built and was very pleased when Ossies took it over with large portions at a reasonable price. Over the last two weeks the high standard has dipped, portions have shrunk alarmingly and the price has gone up. Will give it one more week and will voice my disproval next time.

Just had cod and chips and was very disappointed! The batter on the fish was underdone and slimy, the chips were full of insect tracks and could of been used for hardcore , Usually food is very good but I didn't recognize the crew , maybe new in??

This place is excelent for food without crazy prices. I love going here because it has great food and excelent service. I recommend this highly. You will never get a bad meal from this place! 😊

Really nice food, massive portions and fare price

Great fish and chips and really generous portions at a good price.

Nice fish and chips. Friendly staff.

Excellent fish bar with massive portions

i would buy again, just like a normal chip shop and was yummy and very filling

Asked for a small portion he gave a huge portion enough to feed a family of 4 and nan and grandad as well as the batterd sausage was a jumbo and I asked for small and all was cooked fresh but I asked for small everything and this was a cheep price as what I asked for and the food was good but far to much for a huge fat man like me

Good portion normally cooked while you wait cod bites very nice haddock tasty

Very good food and friendly service

Brilliant chip shop! My children love their Friday fish and chips , friendly staff, very clean and there portion size are generous. 🙂

Big deals but so cold!!! curry sauce literally fridge cold 🥶

Good chips. Good people. Saveloys are god like.

Always good, we have never had a bad meal, and very good portions.

Ossies is a wonderful fish bar, me and my partner had fish and chips here and took them home with us, they were delicious

As always great service and good food and very generous servings.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips!! Portion sizes are massive and really well priced, been coming here for years and always great :-)

I ordered scampi and onion rings which were ok. The chips were huge but tasted old, although half were cold. The spicy bean burger was still FROZEN in the middle, so would have been dangerous to eat. Tried to ring Ossies to discuss, but no answer. An inedible meal.

Never had a bad piece of fish lovely friendly staff always use Ossies

one of the best chippies I've been the fish are absolutely amazing.

Lovely clean shop friendly just ordered sausage in batter an a lovely little extra surprise wen unwrapped at home didnt ask for chips but they ad added a small portion just for price of the sausage...

Hemos utilizado este montón de comida para llevar, el pescado siempre es realmente bueno y fresco, las patatas fritas siempre podrían cocinar un poco más. El personal es genial.

It's an Ossies so you get ridiculously large portions of freshly cooked fish and chips . Can't ask for more.

Horrible comida fría como una piedra, el pescado estaba empapado en una masa fría y simplemente insípido, las papas fritas se cocinaron nuevamente, todas secas y frías. ¡Me dijeron que era una nueva administración desde que abrió desde el cierre! ! ! Trae de vuelta el viejo entonces porque esto es horrible. Las revisiones desde que reabrieron también lo creen. ¡No acepte pagos con tarjeta! A pesar de intentar evitar transacciones en efectivo. Nunca más.

Just been served chips, added salt, went to eat one and they were cold. Told the staff , who tipped them back , to be resold. I had to wait until they dumped the whole lot , against their will , as they were contaminated. Absolutely disgusting

I bought dinner for first time since lockdown from here only live not 2 miles away and everything I bought for me my wife and 3 children was cold to the point it was unbeatable I would not of feed it to the dog. A real SHAME as it has always since I remember from a young boy never been that bad a chipshop. LAZY AND REALLY COULD DO ALOT BETTER

Its now 2020 and this restaruant is consistently the best place for your chippie type meals , all the food is always hot, fresh and full of flavour , the staff are super nice and caring they deserve all the praise and compliments that can be expressed. We have been several times and you can be confident you know exactly what you will get and also a warm welcome, even though we went on a Saturday evening the service is amazing. Thank you Ossies !

Always great food excellent service one of the best chippies around

Amazing food. Brilliant value for money and you are spoilt for choice as there is alot on the menu the staff are kind and friendly. Always get free chips while we wait.

ALWAYS Very nice food ,i travel over 3 miles to eat from here the only let down is they dont deliver

The Best Fish and chips shop in Kent

Nunca he estado en Ossies en Canterbury, pero he estado en Whitstable y fue un gran problema. Sirve mordiscos comestibles, ya que el tye no comestible es malo.

Brilliant take-away (not an eat-in place). Friendly, courteous staff. Can't ask for better, everything is freshly cooked. Extensive menu with everything you'd expect, from fish to burgers.

We are always greeted with a smile, my children love coming to collect our takeaway as they always get a lollipop. The staff are friendly and food is really good :)

Very good service and fish is lovely, will recommend this place to everyone

If fresh chip shop food is what your looking for then look no further but expect a little wait while your food is being prepared fish is rarely left in the hot counter to go hard and greasy and to calm the hunger niggles the staff often give you a few chips to pass the time also always fresh not soggy it’s the only chippy I use now

Lovely take away and good price

Food here is consistently good. Great chips and friendly staff. Portions are so big though that I usually end up throwing some away which seems wrong.

Burger grill here has been broken for three weeks and they're making no effort to replace it/get it fixed unfortunately.

Fish is always freshly cooked but chicken and sausages seem to be cooked in advance. Chips are very generously sized portions but can vary in quality, last night's were old and over cooked, must have been a slow night, but not so bad that I wouldn't go back.

Very nice people, very clean, lady at the till was always smiling and as usually food was excellent

Great place, staff very welcoming and friendly the fish was top and great portions for the price I thought.

Fish and chips are fresh cooked and fish is superb. All other things they offer on the menu are equally good. Always polite service.

Always polite, good fresh food, always offered a small amount of chips while you wait.

Very nice fish. You may have to wait as the fish is all freshly cooked. Lovely thin batter.

Banging fish and chips great service and always very polite

One of the best fish and chips shops I’ve been to. Staff are very friendly and gave us some chips whilst we waited which was a lovely gesture! Portions are very generous and they gave us some extra little bits. Food lovely and would highly recommend

Amazing value, great food great prices. Very generous portions

Excellent portion size great value for money

Great chippy! Friendly and good food!

Always great food to take away and eat

Its the best fish & chip shop in the area by far 🖒

Bigger than normal portions. Always nice and crispy, very friendly

Lovely fresh chips cooked to order

Great service always helpful and friendly staff.

This chip shop is a traditional establishment clean, fresh and service comes with banter when you become a regular just like the good old days, I can’t list all the items I have tried or I would be basically just typing out their menu, always hot and fresh food and as a fish monger myself it’s always a pleasure to taste fresh fish I won’t go anywhere else anymore.

Can't fault Ozzies, lovely food, non greasy crispy batter. Massive choice. Very generous portions often with extras thrown in. Spotlessly clean. Very pleasant staff.

Love the fish and chips here. Decent sized portions

This chippy is fab! Always fresh and the fish is always cooked perfectly! Friendly staff that always throw something extra in for their regulars!

We have used this fish & Chip shop ever since it opened and have never had cause to complain. They even give you some chips if you have to wait any length of time, which can sometimes happen at busy times i.e. Fridays Usually plenty of parking outside which makes life easy. We have recommended it to family when down from Norfolk, and they could not find any fault with it.

We use this fish and chip shop once a week. The food is very tasty, with a good variety on the menu, excellent customer service. A good kiddies menu.

Great food cooks while you wait

As chippies go this is lovely recommended x

Best fish and chips for miles around.

Nice fish and chips. Wasn't sure about the service at first but it did improve

Always a fantastic meal. Excellent portion sizes, great prices & never a bad meal.

Friendly staff, yummy fish and chips. My children were given a cone of chips each to nibble on to save them from getting bored (it wasn't a long wait, but a really nice touch). They were handed a lolly as we left.
