Ossies Fish & Chips in Dover

These guys are really easy to find, especially if people are from out of town

Love the food here. Tastes great quick service always friendly

Easily the best bag of chips I've eaten anywhere recently. Perfection. Babylon potatoes from a local Kent farm apparently. Beautifully cooked, floury, fantastic. As I told the guys behind the counter, well worth the £ 27 rail fare that took us down to that part of the Kent coast from London.

We do not use any other fish and chips shop nothing can beat these guys. Always hot, tasty, fresh. The atmosphere is friendly the guys in there always chat to every customer and often remember previous conversations we have had, we only visit couple times a month but even if we are out in another town we now prefer to wait until we are back in Sandwich for the best fish and chips (and battered sausage and hallumi).

Brilliant fish & chips. Perfect chips, crispy batter with meaty fish all the way through. Huge plateful. We had the pensioners fish & chips, what an absolute bargain. Perfect in every way

Excellent quality fish and chips and very nice friendly staff, my regular choice and never once had a problem. Totally recommend

It's hit and miss. Fish lot batter not much fish. Sometimes better but average lately. Probably because of price pressures.

Outstanding Fish and Chips shop

Good quality fish and chips and portions are generous. Prices are quite competitive. You can dine in but it's not the most comfortable and was stifling in the day I visited. The staff were all quite busy and the main focus was on the takeaway side. All that said the food is good.

My wife and I go here quite a bit and it's one of the best chippies around our area.Granted we have to travel about twenty minutes from where we live but the drive is worth food is always piping hot and delicious so I do recommend it 100%

My elderly parents-in-laws were staying in Sandwich and visited Ossies. They are not very mobile and the staff were really good with them - saying that they could sit down in the dining area whilst they were waiting and then bringing their order out to them. Excellent service !

Incredible!!!! Amazing service, Boyd is amazing and works so hard. The food is great especially the vegetarian options the burger and sausages are awesome and it’s cooked fresh so quickly! Amazing spot to grab some local fish and chips and relax, recommend please visit if close by!!!!

Visited on a busy Thursday evening at about 8:30, service was excellent ... fast and friendly, after having a chat with both of the guys in there. Order when you go in and wait your turn to pay and collect food. Only ordered chips but they were perfect, cooked in oil, where as I am used to beef dripping. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in for takeaway fish and chips. Very friendly and efficient service. Hadn't realised they had restaurant facilities and the owner invited me to use it. Gave me a free cup of tea, which was as good as I can brew for myself. Fish cooked whilst you waited, was fresh and the batter light and crisp, chips good. Served with a slice of lemon. I would thoroughly recommend and I will definitely return.

This is a traditional fish and chip shop. It was very nice food. You can get vinegar on your chips. It’s in the centre of town. Would recommend

We traveled from London to the area for a day trip and found this jewel on web! Hard to overcome! The best and biggest portion of fish ever had so far! Flaky, juice, crispy, thick meaty fish, amazing!! Made our family got green in envy with our pictures, maybe will inspire them to travel and explore more often! A unique experience in family, even my 2 year old had a fair portion of fish , it was a proper feast! Bless this business 100 years! 💐🙏🏼🌈🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Large haddock and chips for £11.50 is a bargain, everything was beautifully cooked to perfection. My only issue was the waiting time in the restaurant area which could do with a spruce up, as it looks like it's stuck in the 70s regardless everything was clean and tidy. We waited a while for our food as takeaway customers were served first despite coming in after. Overall I couldn't fault the food and this could be one of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

The biggest problem here is it's popularity, but always worth the wait

Although not a cheap meal these days due to increasing costs of fish it was very good value. We ordered two of the small rake and small chips and it was huge the portions. I felt guilty being unable to eat it all. Was a lovely upcoming birthday present to oneself but may only buy one fish between two of us in future. Was very well cooked and the batter was crisp and the fish was lovely, white and fresh. 10/10. Thank You.

Best chip shop around, will only go here as there is not another that even touches it.

very friendly staff, brilliant fish and chips and food service , highly recommended 👌👌

Had pensioners fish and chips and was surprised at how much we got.Had to leave some chips as we were full up.A cup of tea included in the price.A real bargain would not have minded if it was dearer.

Lovely fish and chips for lunch. The chips here are perfect, fluffy inside and crisp on the outside. Will return for sure.

Continues to be one of the best for fish & chips in the area. Happy, helpful staff that do not skimp on the potion sizes.

Great place for fish and chips. Big helpings. Kids meal is huge😁 lovely service from nice staff

Wow what an amazing fish and chip shop! Great portion sizes! Very hot and tasty!

We were visiting the town of Sandwich and searching online for a decent Fish & Chips restaurant. As we were with family, we required somewhere that has seating facilities. Coming from London, and having sampled some of the best Cod & Chips that the capital has to offer (see my other reviews), we were prepared for an average meal. However we were amazed when the food arrived at our tables. The size of the cod was one of the biggest I’ve ever had. And the taste was absolutely sublime. The batter was crispy on the outside, with the fish steam cooked on the inside. No excess of oil, and the chips were perfectly crispy outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Couple this with great customer service and reasonable prices and I would honestly say that a 2 hour drive from London is worth it just to visit this great establishment. Thank you Ossie, for truly traditional and great fish and chips. Highly Recommended.

the guy in there is sounds and a great guy , tastes banging was very happy with the overall service and sorted everyone else

Had a large cod and chips, the fish was lovely and meaty, and massive, definitely recommend.

Best fish and chips I have ever tasted travelled all the way from Essex and was not disappointed will deffo return !!

Best fish and chips for miles around. We travel half hour to go here 😃

Yummy! The haddock fish I had was from Ramsgate this morning. No wonder Ossies's fish and chips were fresh. If you're in Sandwich, you have got to try the authentic Fish and Chip British food at Ossies

Biggest and best fish and chips ever! Delicious and cheap! Will return very soon. As an old age pensioner I was only charged £7.50. Outstanding value. Thanks all.

Always use this chippy when we're in Sandwich. Top drawer love the haddock and chios

Spectacular fish and chips and truly great value. Many thanks.

We are OAPs and both had fish and chips. Absolutely excellent!!

Excellent fish and chips and fairly priced unlike other rip off places. Staff were so friendly and it was a pleasure to dine there. Will definitely return.

Went this evening, as this has been our go to for a few years now. Last time we came was large portions but quality was poor. Tonight the young lad serving let's other customers walk past me to order after I had waited for 10minutes. The lad had made eye contact with me at least twice. Very poor service. I went round the corner to another chip shop and received great customer service, a smiling face and great quality food. My family and friends will now be using my new chip shop find. Sorry Ozzies but recently you have employed rubbish staff and food quality has let you down. Quality over quantity

Top quality. Highly recommend Ossies fish bar.

Just had the best fish and chips I've had everywhere,a great family run business and you truly won't be disappointed.

Best fish and chips We’ve had in a long time. We we’re staying nearby and chose Ossie’s for our takeaway. Service efficient and food was tasty, hot and fresh. Look forward to popping in again when we next visit Sandwich

Best fish and chips around this area reasonably priced and made welcome highly recommended

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely take out. Is busy so recommend ordering ahead

Stopped by for lunch whilst out walking, sat outside as we had our dog with us, which was very pleasant in the sun. We shared a large Haddock and chips with mushy peas, which was enough for both of us and was very tasty 👍. Staff were quick and pleasant and cooked our lunch when we ordered so was super fresh. A staff member came out and said our dog was more than welcome inside and brought her a complimentary sausage 🐕‍🦺 Would definitely come back 👍

What a lovely find when visiting Sandwich ,fish cooked fresh and more than enough chips,will certainly be back when visiting again.

Really nice fish and chips, lovely staff.

The best fish and chip shop in Sandwich by a mile!!! Helpful staff and superb fish and chips, great value for money, I'd give them 6 stars if I could

Have used Ossies since we moved to Sandwich 6 months ago occassionaly for the odd bag of chops sometimes for fish or sausage and every time is perfect portion size is huge and chips always perfect. The friendliest bunch of people you could wish for Left a paintbrush I'd bought on the counter by mistake and they made sure I got it back a week later. You won't find a better place

Had to wait awhile for the chips to cook no rushing like I've seen at other places well worth the wait though excellent

I visited on Saturday and asked for a small and large cod and chips,was blown away with the size of the cod,small was about8 inches,then they said how's this for a large one,I went to the car to eat it I unwrapped it and it was bigger than the diameter of my steering wheel,I measured steering wheel when I got home,the fish must have been 16inches by 4 inches,with a crispy batter,and plenty of chips.it was one of the best fish and chips in kent I have tasted

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had!!! Would highly recommend and we will be returning. Great service too. Big thanks :)

Great, gave me 20p off, nicest people in the world, best chips in kent, good sausage, fish is even better, would 100% recommend

We went in by chance got Cod & chips WOW! I haven’t had a bit of Cod that good for a very long time Brilliantly cooked I couldn’t eat it all had to save half for later Yes we will make the trip again 50+miles round trip but was worth it and a good price and Sandwich is a interesting place to visit

Fish and chips are the best I've had. Large portions, beautiful light crispy batter. Very good.

Very good quality food, large portions, value for money and friendly staff.

Always excellent food! Staff are brilliant and efficient.

Best fish and chip shop in kent.

Now if there is one sure way of battling the rising sea level crisis, it’s getting yourself down Ossies Fish and chips for one of these absolute WHOPPERS! When this megladon cod was caught they say that sea level worldwide dropped by 3cm!   I can assure you that there is no camera trickery here and the man stood before you wielding Jaws the 2nd is fully grown and is at least 4ft 6” sources say. When whispers of legendary cod of such size made their way to the town of Sandwich there was only one man the townsfolk knew they could count upon to brave the sea’s alone and make the monstrous catch! ..After several phone calls to Jason Statham proved to be unsuccessful, we popped in to Ossies to see Boyd and pitched the monumental task.   “yes mate, no worries”, was his response to the dangerous voyage, like it was nothing more than tying a shoelace! When offered state of the art equipment and the finest of trawlers, he declined rolling up his sleeves and clenching his fists. “Be alright, I’ll just bosh it on the head mate” and away he went.  Three long days and nights passed and tensions in the guild hall square were high as crowds gathered. Fearing the worst people began lighting candles which were quickly banned by the council for showing up the Christmas light switch on. It was in that precise moment when morale was low that one light shone through causing people to gasp in disbelief! One by one the people turned around to see Boyd and the Christmas elves firing up the fryers through Ossies window!  And there he was – safe, sound, and slapping batter on the biggest bit of cod you ever did see!   It turns out nights one and two Boyd was at home catching up on Emmerdale farm and he only popped out to sea for 20 minutes on the third night. What a man!  Dec 2023 – Boyd & the Ossies team made the Sandwich book of records with this absolute beast of cod weighing in at more than 30 Oz’s. True dedication to the cause and hats off to the bunch of legends who bend over backwards to feed the local community at all costs! 

I love Ossie's fish and chips, they are the best I have tasted in a long time. Last night I went and although I didn't order it myself, I saw a man ordering what looked like a whale and chips, it was absolutely massive. (21inches long), fantastic looking meal, but I think it would be to share.......

Lovely place, great people and brilliant prices. Would 100% recommend, gave me and my brother a good deal when we did not have enough money once. Many thanks

Came here last night and had an amazing experience the lads there were very friendly and the food was fantastic, I got a large cod with chips, I think I should have gone with the small though the portion was amazing it’s nice to go somewhere and get a true large the fish was cooked beautifully, my son went for a burger and he said it was the best burger he’s ever had!!, so that’s FISH amazing , CHIPS amazing and BURGER amazing but the lads there were what really made the experience it’s nice to see good customer service, I heard one of the young men talking about football with another customer and the older gent who was cooking interacting with myself it’s nice to go somewhere and have a little chat and the staff not be gormless would recommend to anyone passing through sandwich

Great chippy, great pie chips gravy and tea .Friendly helpful owners/staff we traveled from Canada and really enjoyed everything Thanks

Not impressed. Went on a dull Thursday afternoon in December. It was raining. The ghost-like figures of Sandwich's somewhat older population huddled in shops for solace and warmth. A crow cawed ominously. I asked for 'two small chips'. I was offered two, small, chips. I commented they were medium sized. The rain somehow intensified. The market sq fell silent. I was handed two huge portions of 'freshly cooked' chips. Yay! Except only the top chips were fresh, succulent, yummy. The bottom 2/3 of the packet were vile & stale. I had such high hopes. Sigh.

My mum always insists of travelling 20 miles to Sandwich to get Ossies fish and chips! Friendly staff, really good food and decent portions. Never had any complaints from here, always come and will always go to this place. Highly recommended!!!

Always good food. Their supersize jumbo sausages are fantastic.

Best chipy around for miles quick service & friendly staff. Takes phone orders and can eat in.

Every time I’ve come here I’ve enjoyed my meal and never had any complaints. Cheesy chips GORGEOUS, standard chips GORGEOUS, curry sauce PERFECT, cod, saveloy, battered sausage, pie all absolutely DELICIOUS. Have never thought of reviewing a fish and chip shop but this one is certainly worth it! Proper British cuisine served with pride in a proper British way. I’ve never sounded so patriotic 😂 but this is worth travelling towns for.

The best fish and chips in the south of England, always always the friendliest service, quality of fish and batter you can't find better.

Had an impromptu afternoon in Sandwich and shared a portion of fish and chips. They were delicious and freshly cooked whilst we waited. The cod was huge and not at all greasy. The chips were perfectly cooked and tasty, no little sharp pointy chips in sight. Highly recommended and great value.

Used to go to another fish and chip shop in town but then tried Ossies. The best ever food and always a smile to go with it. Highly recommended.

I just wanted some cod and chips for lunch when visiting Sandwich and came across this chippie and what a find it was. The fish and chips were cooked to order so there was a short wait but well worth it to have freshly cooked fish. The staff were very polite and efficient and all looked smart in their 'ossie' brand polo shirts. At £9.40 for a medium cod and chips this represented excellent value. I will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

Popped in for takeaway cod and chips. The fish was cooked to order so there was a short wait but we'll worth it as you can't beat freshly cooked fish. All the team behind the counter were friendly and all wearing smart Ossie brand polo shirts. There is nothing to dislike about this fish and chip shop. Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area. As a sideline they also serve ice cream so catering for two different markets.

Can see why Ossies has a good rating. Guys behind counter got good banter, fish & chips are great, and Sandwich is a really nice place. Bear in mind, the large cod & chips is huge, my wife and I were definitely full after finishing it!

Very hot inside very busy No smiles Young man who served me was sweating all over his face and did not wipe away with anything and was serving food Not much fish mostly batter on this occasion Such a shame had great reviews

We came in for cod and chips and it was absolutely delicious, the chef recommended us a 12 inch sausage which did not disappoint. Very clean and staff were very friendly and welcoming!!! I will defiantly be recommending my friends to come here!

I purchased a battered sausage from here. It was so thick with batter it looked like an American corn dog. Honestly the worst thing I’ve seen, doesn’t even look like a battered sausage. I actually dropped it by mistake but I think that’s the best thing that could have happened to it…. Definitely belongs in the bin 🤮

Absolutely delicious. Fish cooked to perfection. Lovely chips and very polite young men serving us. The perfect meal if you are in Sandwich!

Must be the best fish & chips in kent lovely clean well run family business ,keep up the good work not forgetting the lovely sollys ice cream

Very friendly service. Huge piece of fish with chips cooked to perfection! Will definitely be returning!

Went for fish and chip take out for myself and my sister.I asked for 2 small haddock and chips got served lge portions.INEDIBLE batter was drenched in fat fish was awful didn't taste of haddock, threw it all away.

Best fish and chips in the area. Fish always cooked fresh to order, and always generous portions. Only downside is the queue (which goes to show they’re popular), so I’d call to order ahead of time.

Walked into town to get some Fish & Chips for dinner, the place was very busy and a queuing system was in place. The portions were fantastic and the piece of large Cod that I had was the biggest I have had and the tastiest...

Absolutely top notch take away Fish and chips are tasty and plenty of it Friendly staff Very well priced We use ossies everytime we visit Sandwich and have always enjoyed

Stunning, exceptional, outstanding. Best fish and chips I have ever tasted. Fish was white, flaky and perfectly cooked. Batter sweet and not greasy. Chips were really tasty. Staff friendly and chatted to the customers whilst being served and waiting for orders Great system with tickets given on ordering. Absolute gem of a place.

Excellent value, freshly cooked and very large fish. Prompt service. Excellent

Für eine typische englische Mahlzeit sehr zu empfehlen Preiswert und die Beilagen werden vom Kunden selbst bestimmt

Very slow service. Chips were one big lump , the sausage had no colour or flavour. scampi was full of water. It went straight in the bin. Very disappointing .

It's certainly a matter of taste, but we weren't impressed with the food on offer. The fish was very fresh, but everything could have used a little more seasoning.

Oh my god the best fish and chips Great service Friendly staff clean and very tidy so good we have to travel once a month from Whitstable to go there wish this chip shop was on our door step The Best 👌

Visiting Sandwich on holiday we went to the fish and chip shop And had a sit down meal for 6 that was absolutely superb ,all of the food was cooked perfection No grace just cooked to perfection, Very friendly staff that all do an excellent...

Small place in the center of Sandwich where you can eat excellent Fish & Chips. Possibility to sit outside too. You can choose from some varieties of fish, in addition to the usual cod. The fried onion rings are decent, the chips are really excellent. Very generous portions: we took the small one and two of us ate it!

Just had amazing fish and chips here! Great friendly service and generous portions. In fact we don't think you are charging enough!

This is a fish and chip shop that is so friendly to it's customers and value for money is exceptional no wonder there is always a queue for the food can't recomend this enough

Called in for some food, pleased to say the shop was well presented and clean. It was very busy which is a good sign. Having really rubbish fish and chips at crazy prices from other shops recently I thought it looked very good in the...

Great little chippy. We were camping nearby and have stopped in here past couple of years when in Sandwich. Fish was lovely and not greasy and everything was fresh and hot. Decent size portions too and didn't feel over priced, will be back again next year! Staff were excellent too, stopping and chatting with my son about Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon while we were waiting as he had a character t-shirt in. Cheers guys, great dinner.

Excellent. Very freindly. Really beautiful piece of Cod. It was so good I went back and thanked them the next day. 👍

Best fish and chips EVER! fish was HUGE! friendly family run business. Only improvement would be a small hadwash basin...

Best fish and chips in Sandwich

Had a lovely meal from Ossies today Fish was cooked really well lovely crispy batter Staff were very friendly Will definitely go back

One of the best chip shops around we regularly travel from Dover just to get chips and go for a walk through the town, along the river and the park
