This place is racist, I came here with my friends and they said they are closed for eat in and they can’t seat us, but then we came back and a group of white people were seated, waiting to eat their food. Please learn to treat people with more respect , also charging people for mayo and ketchup is insane work.

Pretty poor experience overall. We sat outside as we had a dog with us, no issue with that. Was told we could not order from the takeaway part and sit at the outside tables. Understood. I ordered a cod and chips, my partner ordered the cod bites and chips, and we ordered a drink each. After waiting a while, both meals came out, we had to ask for cutlery. The cutlery came, we had to ask for the drinks. The drinks came, we had to ask for the sauces and sausage we’d also ordered, so the service was very fractured to say the least. To say the food was underwhelming would be an overstatement. I could see from the takeaway that you could order different sizes of cod, as you would expect. However, when eating in (or outside) there was only one price. I would have assumed I’d get a medium or even large cod. Unfortunately, my piece of cod was hardly any bigger than one of my partner’s cod bites, so this hugely disappointing. Chips were nice, but overall it definitely wasn’t worth the walk from town, not for that price and for the amount of food you get. We could have saved time and money getting fish and chips in town and been more satisfied. Hardly the best fish and chips in Kent that I’d heard so much about.

We were lucky enough to arrange a family birthday party with Ossie and his amazing team. In his restaurant next to the chip shop. We ensured that the chef had plenty of notice of the menu choices, and the fantastic food arrived as one. It was all piping hot and really well cooked. Our family and friends were all delighted. The staff serving were attentive and super fast and efficient. I would highly recommend this restaurant venue for choices, quality, and service.

Had some fish and chips here. Reasonably good food at a fair price. Annoying it is cash or bank transfer only. Also they were inexplicably slow to prepare my order, multiple other people's orders prepared much faster despite the fact I only ordered cod, Sausage and chips - nothing unusual. Also someone came in asking for gluten free fish and chips (which it apparently says they do online) but they left disappointed because they cook these in the same cooker as the regular fish and chips. Really confused by some extremely positive and negative reviews here, I'd say it is fine and fairly average.

Went for a drive to Tankerton and fancied fish and chips, but our usual place was closed so did a search and found Ozzies. Oh boy, it was first class. The meal was piping hot, well seasoned and the quality was of the highest calibre. Well priced. Sorry to say the usual place has lost me as a customer.

We went for the Sunday roast today and left very full and impressed. Everything was cooked to perfection and it was restaurant quality. The beef was beautifully tender, accompanied by a selection of perfectly cooked vegetables, delicious roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding, topped with parsnips crisps. The gravy was the perfect accompaniment. We have tried many places locally for a roast dinner and I have to say that this is the best one we have found so far. You really must give it a try. We will certainly be back. Thank you!

Really poor service, we ordered fish and chips and were told we could eat outside and then after ordering we were told that we couldn’t sit on the table and would have to move to a bench which was occupied! Didn’t leave a good feeling when another couple were allowed to eat on the table. Maybe our demographics put them off!

Certainly! Here's a glowing Google recommendation you can use: --- If you find yourself in Whitstable, the. Ossies Best Fish and Chips is an absolute must-visit! The authenticity of the experience is matched only by the deliciousness of the food. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just the way it should be. The chips were golden, fluffy, and paired beautifully with the fish. This isn't just any fish and chips – it's a taste of tradition, served with a smile in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The freshness of the seafood was evident in every bite, making it clear why this spot is so beloved by locals and visitors alike. Beware there are queues out the door on a Friday! Do yourself a favor and make sure to stop by for an unforgettable meal. You won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately, my experience didn’t compare to the good reviews. Visited and queued for over 25 minutes outside and only then saw the notice inside saying it was cash only. Maybe an idea to post this on the window. Not a problem as had some cash but don’t usually as everywhere takes card. That aside, ordered 2 lots of cod and chips - the chips had no flavour and the cod just tasted of fat and batter (no cod taste at all). Bitterly disappointed. My 15 year old said the same thing so wasn’t just my thoughts!

Discovered Ossies Best Fish and Chips in Whitstable through Google Maps, and the reviews didn’t disappoint. The cod and chips we ordered were absolutely delicious—fresh fish and generous portions. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We opted to sit outside to enjoy our meal. There’s a separate area for dining in, but the prices are a bit higher. Nevertheless, highly recommend! We noticed lots of locals popping in for takeaway, which is always a good sign.

Haven't sat in the restaurant side for a long time, completely changed menu, the food looked well presented with good options,. I thought it would just fish and chips, but there were good alternatives to deep-fried fish.

Previously had top notch, crispy delicious fish & chips from Ozzys . Tonight it was not busy, in fact we were the only ones in the place at 5.45 pm. It was stale and tasteless. The fish/batter was mushy, the chips were soggy and leathery. This was definitely food cooked at lunch time, being served at dinner time. Really not fair. Is it worth loosing a regular customer over £10? We wont be returning sadly.

So if you want to eat really good fish and chips, this is the place for you. The quality of the food is very good. The young woman who served us was also very friendly and accommodating. The prices for the food are acceptable, but for drinks they are slightly excessive in my opinion. But the whole thing makes a neat and clean impression. In high season. I would imagine this fish and chip restaurant is certainly packed.

Was greeted with a big friendly smile, although felt a bit awkward as was told i was early, might have to wait. Bit surprised as the were only 3 tables busy. The bread was delicious, really delicious, mussels ok, scallops really nice, the goan curry was very disappointing, hardly any monk fish 2 very small pieces, lobster very small and the sauce was so strong and overpowering i couldn't eat by itself, it was just not nice, trout, my wife says was mediocre, the wagyu beefburger with lobster was very nice. Service good
