Palm Bay Fish Bar in Thanet

Excellent local fish and chips shop, very accommodating staff and freshest fish. Cash only.

Friendly staff and great local fish and chips shop. Highly recommend

Excellent fish always fresh as are the chips. Would highly recommend the best 🐟 fish and chips in Thanet. Very clean and easy to find a parking spot.

Just ordered a meal via Just Eat. Wrong meal delivered. Phoned the take away and was told to complain to Just Eat. When I challenged him as to the fact it was his mistake, he replied "well haven't you made mistakes" He said couldn't bring the correct order to me as he had no transport but when I asked how he had got to the takeaway that night, he didn't reply. I asked for the amended order to be sent to me and I am still waiting!!!!

Terrible service. Delivery was wrong and blamed Just Eat. Refused to correct it. Said they haven’t got any means to do so. Refused to give refund saying take it up with Just Eat who were just the couriers. All you get with Just Eat is a credit!!!!!! Total rip off. Just gave us what was there and not what was offered hoping you would not come back! Totally disappointed and WONT use again. Will go to St Peter’s next time!!!! £17 down the drain!

Such a cosy place. Service was great. The food was great too.

Found some hair in my chips. Unfortunately I was half way through them at the time.

My dad goes here every Friday without fail and has done for years. I've had Haddock and chips from here maybe thirty times. It's always cooked to order with a large portion of Haddock and generous portion of chips. Clean and welcoming too. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

great place to stop and eat something with children, no problem with free parking👍😃

Great local fish and chip shop. Everything freshly cooked to order. The chips are particularly good. Always a bit of a win.

Great food such fantastic sizes and the ppl that work there are very lovely to xx 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Heavy rain so chips in the van today. £10 for medium chips and fish (looked large to me). Cooked freshly on ordering.

Lovely fresh food and plenty of it. Great prices as well

The best! I was walking my dog home while eating a bag and thought to myself wow these really are of the best bags of chips I’ve ever had! Who would of thought eating a bag of chips would be so memorable?

I came yesterday as a visitor from the other side of Kent. We called with a very large order of over 20 items and when I turned up the food was ready. The Customer Service was incredible and they even added a few extras for us. The standard of food was sensational and the people that we took the food to were really appreciative and it was lovely.

Freshly cooked chips, cooked just how I like them, battered sausage too wasn't that bad. Fairly priced. Will most definitely be returning

When in the area it's our go to place for take out fish and chips to eat by the sea. During day time visits it has always been cooked to order. Great quality and taste. Pricing competitive. Eat in is an option and I'm sure delivery is to (please check)

Delicious fish and chips. Chicken mushroom pie is also good. Many people wait for takeaway. Cash payment only shop.

We were on a caravan rally locally and required 20 portions of fish and chips. Superb value, hot, fresh and crispy thank you for making the evening a success.

Without doubt, the best fish & chips in Thanet. I drive from Westgate because they are so worth it ❤️

Cod and chips was very good, will return when in the area, staff helpful and cheerful

Good sized portions very well cooked

Large portion of chips is huge.

Consistent quality. Brilliant every time!

Fish and chips are second to none

Good little place, quick service, good old traditional fish and chips! The batter we found although tasted lovely was a little soggy and thick in places. Chips were lovely and big portions. Curry sauce was lumpy and almost more of a thick soup than a sauce but there again was tasty. Fair pricing and good food, but just couple of let downs!

The staff were really nice and when they didn’t have the haddock she recommended the plaice to me . The fish was freshly fried and ten minutes later I had an enormous piece of perfectly fried fish and medium chips. The chips were delish… but the fish was just so light and crispy I may never try to get haddock again ! 5 stars !

Really good chip shop, only had chips and very nice. Would definitely recommend

Excellent food quality and plenty of it. We will be back soon

orded fish and chips £35 just eat delivery .no food turned up rang shop .was told not there problem. asked for help telephone no of just eat. no help . beware ordering on line

Lovely, local, fresh fish and good chips, not quite happy with sauces but fish was fab!

Excellent food and great prices. Best chips we've had in a long time!

Fantastic quality food at great prices

I come to visit an elderly relative on a regular basis the fish and chips are the highlight of her day Always freshly cooked and delivered before estimated time Excellent service and food 👌

Ordered waited 2 hours with ever later delivery time then cancelled order. If your not going to do order let customer know when they order shocking way to treat customers!!!

What a find! Food cooked fresh to order, batter used was a rich golden colour and perfectly crisp. The battered halloumi was delicious and the cod used was moist and fleshy. BUT a word of warning! They don’t lie when they say a large portion of chips is large,easily feeds two with spare and would do a young family of four - so many chips!!! Shame we were on holiday and not locals, Palm Bay would easily be my choice as local takeaway.

Absolutely wonderful fish and chips. The batter was so crispy on the outside and the cod so soft and moist on the inside. The best fish and chips I have had in a long long time. We also drive just a few mins away and ate them overlooking the sea, superb. We will be back next time we are down that way.

Really tasty and fresh food! The batter on everything was the best we've had, the chips were very nice but be warned that the portions are very generous, a large portion is very large. The menu was extensive too, there was something for everyone and they had a few "unconventional" items like battered halloumi. It is cash only which was okay but just keep that in mind as there's only one small sign to tell you that.

Good food, huge portions, run by really nice guys.

The food was fresh and tasty, and the staff was really kind. Would buy again :)

Amazing crispy fish & so fresh! Friendly staff. Recommend fish bites

Lovely food always hot. Friendly approachable staff, great customer service. Very busy on weekends, pre order.

OK....had haddock...very thin and nothing to praise there....won't be returning....

Friendly, freshly cooked and tasty, large portions. They only take cash, but there is a cash machine next door.

After a day out waking in fresh winds and showery weather what a treat lay in store 👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟brilliant fish & chips, steaming hot as it was cooked fresh to order. Do not miss this place …. it’s ace 👍🏻👏👏 We will absolutely use it again next time we are in Margate. Free parking outside the shop too.

Lovely fish and chips - we travel to buy from here over anywhere else in the Thanet area. Atmosphere is downgraded perhaps unfairly as a result of the pandemic legacy; screens still up, seating not fully reinstated. Highly recommended as a take away venue.

Excellent produce cook to order great staff always clean nothing is ever a problem

Great food and service fast and friendly. Cash only

1st time went on recommendation and it was great

Fish and chips amazing. Steak pie lush

Lovely fresh food, very welcoming friendly staff Faultless..!

best chips in town! the prices are great considering the generous portions and such friendly staff :)

Indisputably the best fish and chip shop in the area. Food quality, portions and value.

Nice and lovely haddock and chips I had, I found it tasty and enjoyable. Good treat after coming from the seaside. My only complaint is that it was very unclear what the total price was and it’s cash only so it can be awkward. I had medium fish and chips and a medium chips and I expected to pay £8.20 but I was charged £10.40 not sure how.

Great quality, enormous portions, freshly cooked and very friendly service

Really nice fish and chips and friendly staff

all fresh cooked food. So polite and helpful even when we turned up 15mins before closing time on a Sunday. A little hidden gem

Fish was banging. No skin so could eat all the crispy batter.

Ordered Rock chips n mushy peas £9.70, plentiful chips, fish good, still piping hot when i hot home & my dog liked the fish as well, would use again.

One of the best fish and chips in Kent, definitely recommended 👌

Not sure why everyone rates this place, stupidly expensive and everything is literally microwaved!! Also find it strange as to why they still have the tables left in there just stacked up on one side, not to mention the silly screen!! It is a real shame to see a place not being used to its full potential.

One of the best fish n chips spot in margate.

Best fish and chips in margate.

Very clean and tidy and friendly staff

Great service, and brillo owner, and good fish and chips, and everything

Very friendly staff. We ordered 2 large chips which were massive and very tasty. We also ordered mushy peas and curry sauce, all very nice 👍 If you're on the beach, it is a 10/12 minute walk, but it is worth it. It's a lot quicker walking downhill back to the beach, so your food will stay hot!

Very friendly staff that are happy to oblige, great chips and white fresh fish

Amazing food as always, we love the food from there,

Chips where among the best ive had

The service was friendly and quick. The portions are very large. However, the batter on the fish is a bit doughy, so it could’ve done with being fried longer or change the batter mix. Also, the fish was very oily so it could’ve done with waiting a bit for some of the oil to drip off before wrapping it. Secondly, the chips were a bit soft and little bit stale, so the chips could’ve been fried at the same time or similar as the fish so it doesn’t go soft. The curry sauce wasn’t very flavourful, so maybe more curry powder/paste is needed or a change of brand. Lastly, it would be nice if they offer boxes to those taking away to eat outside. Since there’s not many options available in the area after your day at the beach, it’ll suffice to fill your belly for the evening and the food’s ok.

Lovely fish and chips from this place, shame it only takes cash as its not the cheapest meal to have nowadays. Don't order large chips unless u r very hungry. Two of u struggled to get thru half of them.

Very nice fish and chips. Friendly staff

Excellent service, friendly staff and great food what more can I say

Good food. Big quantity of chips 🍟

Great food friendly staff good value for money

It was a lovely fresh piece of cod and roe, ordered on the phone and ready to collect 10 minutes later.

Consistently high quality and fresh produce, competitively priced with generous portions in my experience. My local go-to for fresh fish 'n' chips every time!

A local actually showed us this shop, as the others were a little further away. Nice little shop, only downside is it is cash only, with an atm a few doors down at the Co Op. The portions were very big as we ordered a small and medium, the small portion looked like a medium as the amount was alot! Fresh taste, cod was very nice too. Also a little disappointing is that they only have satches for the condiments and they were not free. Otherwise the food was good, just the other reasons were a little let down.

Best, freshest cooked fish and chips in Kent. We moved to Broadstairs from London and were looking for somewhere to rival the great Olley's of Southeast London fame. Palm Bay win hands down and at very reasonable prices. We used to collect, but now get delivered piping hot via JustEat. Excellent!!

Nothing to write home about. Very greasy batter but very hot .

Good size portions friendly staff

Friendly, and cooked on order -- so v fresh. Excellent fish and chips which we took slightly further down the coast to enjoy while eating on the beach. The battered fish had a good deep colour, and was delicious. The chips had a great flavour too. Youngest was very happy with the battered sausage. Nice to have decent sauces too -- and not the knock off versions.

Brilliant food, good priced and quick delivery

Very rude service, main guy ordering everyone around seemed like his fed up of his Job, on top I asked his is all my order in the bag, he almost took it as an insult and replied with a firm tone of voice, 'ofc it is' once I open everything, what do you know portion chips missing. Defo won't be going there again.

I cannot fault this place, the fish is always beautifully cooked, proper chips and great service, the rest of the menu is good as well

When they first opened we thought it was just opening months their food would be fantastic and then it would go down hill. I am so happy to say this is not the case. We have recommended to family and friends and all have come back saying the same: Fish cooked perfectly, crispy batter, chips tasty!! I wouldn't get takeaway fish and chips anywhere else - sampled all others in area but wouldn't go back to any other than here.

Average prices. Not busy at all and they seemed to be following covid guidelines. The food was ok, nothing spectacular, but not bad at all. We drove the five minutes to the car park overlooking Joss Bay to enjoy our meal.

As good as it gets :-) 10/10 sea side fish and chips, well staffed, atm adjacent at the co-op

Best chip shop I've ever been to, friendly staff and fantastic food every time !

Ordered online & was delivered really quickly. Good quality fish & chips, cod was medium, but huge! Loads of chips & burger was good, we forgot the cheese as not included.. Fairly pricey with delivery charge etc but was very nice. Think they could do free sauce as everything costs.

BEST FISH & CHIPS I HAVE EVER HAD. I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER PORTION AFTER. THE BEST ! LOTS OF LOVE FROM LONDON !!

Great fish and chips 2mins from us.

Great portions even a medium cod is big! Great value for money!

Brilliant 👏 food well done guys yummy 😋

Great food and great service. Also donate to the local projects. Fantastic

Excellent Fish and Chips and Service. Spot on.👍

As I have had stomach surgery I order a child's portion of fish and chips. There is so much there I can't even eat that !!!! Also I love that you can order in advance and the staff are fabulous !!!

Found this chip shop on Google maps, highly recommended. Lovely and fresh, we had large haddock, scampi and chips. Very nice.

Best fish and chips in Thanet!! Big portions too, Will definitely order from here again!!

Excellent fish and chips. Well fried dry, not too oily, tastes great. Friendly staff. I have always been there and will always do Try it out and you wont be disappointed
