Disappointing, had two items missing from my order (2x curry sauce) despite the lengthy wait. The Food was good quality, however, the portion sizes were on the smaller size compared to other chip shops.

I ordered cod and chips tonight it came I ate just a small part of the cod the spoke to the waitress about all the oil and water that was coming from my fish she took it back and the returned to me to ask if would like another piece I said no thank you I will just have cod’s roe and chips but when the bill came I was still being charged for the cod I asked her to get the cod and chips taken off the bill and to be charged for the cod’s roe and chips she went back to ask then came back and said no they wouldn’t because I had ate a piece of the fish so with that I paid all the bill .i have eaten there over 25 times or more but won’t any more plus both my wife’s cod and mine was very overdone .Its a sham that they took this stance as they have lost a customer that won’t return 😡

Went here today for lunch. The cod was meaty and had a nice flavour Batter was perfect - not too greasy. Chips were as to expected from a chippy. Definitely would return. Shame the price is a little high. £43.00 for 2 fish and chips and 1 drink is quite steep.

Our top two spots for fish and chips for my family were always Deep Sea and Papas. Since Deep Sea closed, Papas has never failed us. Despite being in Aylesford, it’s totally worth the 10-15 min drive. Quality cod and chips, no cross-contamination with meat (perfect for us Muslims), and great customer service every time!”

I’ve had fish and chips at plenty of places, and honestly, this was pretty average. I had to order peas separately for an extra £3, and it was barely 2-3 spoonfuls—definitely not worth it. Overall, it felt overpriced and overhyped. I wouldn’t recommend spending your money here.

Don’t get a small chips as small means just enough to put in a roll. It’s a shame I can put images on here as it’s almost comical. I genuinely have had more fries in a McDonald’s happy meal and at almost £3 it’s a joke…..

Wanted to try Papa’s barn for the first time, a little bit further than our local. But wish I hadn’t bothered. It was my birthday and not only did they get our order wrong (which meant we paid for an extra portion of chips we didn’t want), all the food was so doused in salt it was inedible! Even the battered sausage had salt all over it! Absolutely disgusting. 🤢

What a wonderful team and lovely restaurant. Joan has been a regular for many years so it was naturally her first choice for her 99th birthday celebration. It was not disappointing. The food was superb with the crispiest batter on the fish ever, the fish was fresh and the chips were cooked to perfection, lovely and crispy, just as Joan likes them. The staff were truly amazing and made a real fuss of her. It made her day!! The experience 10/10! Highly recommend this place.

Love it. it's the best fish and chips I have EVER HAD EVER!!! If the manager is reading this, I have one thing to say to him/her. WHY IS THIS SOOO GOOD? YOU ARE A TRULY AMAZING CHEF! I DONT KNOW HOW YOU DO IT, BUT THE DINNERS ARE SOOOOOOOOOO NICE. Great service, you will get seated, and they will give you a bread roll and some butter. Once you're finished, they will ASK if you're finished with the bread and if they can take your order (I've been to restaurants that just walk up to you and take the plate away). They will take your order and make sure that they have everything on there that you ordered and oc they go to the kitchen. You will get you starters, mains or deserts within 15-20 minutes of ordering them. Outstanding.

We were on our way to A and D fisheries, unfortunately there was no where to park so carried driving and remembered Papas as it was on our way home . Never been to Papas before so we thought we'd give it a try, no parking problems here. Went to the take away counter and was promptly served, I ordered one large cod and a large portion of chips, this came to £15:60 which we thought was very expensive considering you can get two fish and chip meals from the daytime menu in a local beefeater for about the same price. The chips were very good and the portion was large, unfortunately the cod was small, quality was poor and it was over cooked which was disappointing, both should have been hotter. The speed of service was very fast but at the sacrifice of the fish. Note they do not accept Amex.

Used to eat here regularly, eat in and take away, and would say it is (sorry, was) the best in the surrounding area. First visit for a while and the cod bites were greasy and thin, almost fish-less in places, scampi was nothing special, and large chips was the smallest we’ve had from anywhere recently. All wrapped up in a bag and taken home to eat. Worst of all though, is the smell of ‘off’ fish that still lingers in the car after 24hrs. Disgusting,

Located in the A20,Ditton near Maidstone,Kent. Restaurant and takeaway that has been trading for around 30 years. Has it's own car park which is free if charge for customers. Serves traditional fish and chips along with pies,burgers,scampi etc. everything is cooked fresh and comes up lovely and hot. I had cod and chips, the piece of fish was chunky but not that big and at £16.50 a little expensive. You are given a bread roll with your meal. There are smaller portions for £10.50 which comes with a cup of tea. I didn't receive the drink I ordered and had to ask for it and it was difficult to attract the attention of the waitresses,there was no check back. I looked at the dessert menu but felt it was too expensive so left it. The restaurant was clean, table were cleared quite quickly and wiped down and relaid for the next diners. There are toilet facilities onsite which were clean

Went in for Cod and chips for my husband, chips and various sides for me. Decided against the sides as they were very expensive so settled for chips (still pricey) My husband’s cod came out looking like a small battered sausage??? Was told they cook by weight. Maybe they do, but the cod weight for £16 was way too low?? There were no weight references on the menu so how would anyone know anyway? Sent it back and went to the chip shop locally where he got a bit of cod that looked like a bit of cod and twice the size. Would never go back. Way too much money for fish and potatoes.
