Sea Life in Maidstone

Placed my order for 5 fish and chips only to be told when it came to pay they only took cash. I haven’t carried cash for 5 years. In a world where many organisations (wrongly in my opinion) are cashless it seems very odd that this establishment won’t take cards. Had to leave without our meal as I only had my phone didn’t have a card to get cash. Won’t be back unless they start to accept card payment on phone.

I get a business can close whenever they want. But 20 mins early is upsetting. What makes it worse is the staff inside just laughed when I tried the door and it was locked.

Some will say this place has gotten a little pricey, although it may, that's due to the times however when it comes to quality, some of the menu items are fire!!! The star is the smash burgers and fried chicken. Chicken is lovely but the burgers are out of thus world and reasonably priced to boot! I do love Crispins, great for the local community. The only complaint I would say is that the family or large portion of chips need to be larger, especially for over a £5. I wish I took photos!!!

Had a kebab today, juicy and tender, pitta sauce goes very well with the pitta, plenty of salad too!

Booked this restaurant for my partners birthday. We had visited on another occasion and were very impressed. On this occasion the food was, once again, excellent and we were thoroughly enjoying our experience until a young waiter approached us and said " I'm going to need your table back in a minute". Totally ruined our evening, very rude and disappointing.
