Just want to say a shout out. After eating lovely food, I absentmindedly dropped my purse and left. One of the staff members ran after me to get it back to me. All my money, credit cards and driving licence were in there. I AM SO GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. Judi

We were visiting Whitstable for the weekend from the midlands - we were very pleasantly surprised to have amazing food and service. We ate in and had cod bites and bake and chips. The staff were super friendly and polite and we watched as they greeted people as they passed by , giving out good vibes ! The chips were the best we had in years - non greasy and the fish light batter and great tartare sauce. The apple juice was also a high grade product and you can really tell that they care about their product and customer ! Thank you !

Great chips and excellent location just two minutes from the beach and I have to say, really friendly staff. However, no good if you’re vegan and or gluten free. Would be great to see some gluten free buns to go with a veggie burger, or gluten free buttered mushrooms/onion rings etc.

Ossies is hands down the best fish and chips shop in Whitstable and a firm family favourite over the last decade. The staff are always lovely and recognise regular visitors - everyone works hard but always makes you feel well served even when it is super busy. To eat in is a very classic fish and chips shop experience - Formica and chunky crockery - a great vintage experience and very welcome on a cold/wet day. They continue to impress trip advisor reviewers and proudly display their 'best' chippy reviews. I have to say there is nothing like grabbing a bag of chips, heading down to the sea and enjoying a little sunset food - magic.

Visited twice during our week long stay in Whitstable. First time we got the wrong order, the fish we did get was overcooked and very thin, badly in need of seasoning. Went in tonight to get a small fish for my granddaughter (£6.50), it was dry, overcooked, and lacked any flavour at all, the chips not much better, the dog had it.

Really good local fish and chip shop. The staff are really friendly and the food always tastes fresh - really good chips - hot and crispy outside, and fluffy inside. The batter on the fish isn't too greasy, crisp and fresh tasting. Also quite generous portions too. We go here quite a lot as the food is so good. Quite often if you have to wait for something to be cooked they'll give you some free chips whilst you wait. Definitely recommend!

My friends really liked their fish & I thought the burger was great. The chips with the meals were cooked to perfection and the best I’ve had in a long time. Be hungry when you visit Ossies as you get a great size meal for your money.

Went to Ossie’s based on reviews, also the fact that I phoned a few fish and chip shops and they were the only ones who used fresh fish - and with a fresh fish market just down the road you’d have thought the majority would have.. In my opinion the reality didn’t live up to the reviews. I’d asked for loads of salt and vinegar, (could barely taste any), the batter was quite thick with crunchy lumps, chips average . My husband waited and collected it, drove back to the beach, only to find they hadn’t put the drinks we’d purchased in the bag . Wouldn’t rush back

Lovely traditional pub serving a good selection of cask ales. Very friendly staff, especially Helen, who served us up a fantastic Sunday roast. As it's my local now, I can comfortably recommend this particular pub to anyone who happens to be in the area and to try out the food as it's the best I've tried in and around Canterbury. Edit...12/07/22. Closed briefly for circumstances beyond their control.

We booked a table of 10 for a birthday celebration and were required to pay a £10 per person deposit to secure the reservation. Upon arrival, the staff were accommodating, especially with our birthday cake, and greeted us warmly. The drinks order was taken promptly, and since we had pre-ordered our meals, there was no need to wait to place our food order. However, the food took a considerable amount of time to arrive. While some of our group enjoyed their meals, others were less satisfied. The least enjoyed dish was the steak, which was unfortunately very tough and chewy. The couple who ordered the Moules Frites found it decent, but they both felt unwell the following day. While this could be coincidental, it’s worth noting. On a more positive note, the meat platter was excellent—delicious and generously portioned, easily enough to share between two people. It was definitely a highlight of the menu. After our main courses, the staff brought out the cake, and they made the moment enjoyable, continuing their excellent service in that regard. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by incredibly slow service. We spent over three hours at the table, with long waits between courses, which really affected the evening. When it came time to pay, the waitress insisted that tips should be given in cash, so we complied. The venue has a policy of not allowing re-entry after 11 pm, and as it was 10:35 pm, we barely had time to grab a drink elsewhere and return for the entertainment. The bouncers were rude, as has been the case in previous visits. When we returned at 10:55 pm, despite having spoken to them earlier, they demanded ID again and were unnecessarily unpleasant to our group. After we left, I realized the £100 deposit had not been deducted from our bill. When we returned the next morning to collect the remainder of our cake (which had mysteriously lost all its chocolate truffles from the top), I inquired about the deposit. The staff member was polite and assured me it had been accounted for, but I wasn’t convinced. After emailing the restaurant, I received a response a week later confirming that the deposit had, in fact, not been deducted and would be refunded to the person who booked. After missing the call back, the booker attempted to contact the restaurant several times over the next few weeks. They returned our call once, but it took multiple failed calls on our end before we finally reached them. Overall, our experience was soured by the slow service, unpleasant door staff and the mishandling of the deposit. £100 is a significant amount to overlook, and had I not rechecked the bill, it would have added to what was already an expensive meal.
