Sea View in Dover

13 quid med haddock and chips and a gherkin..free cutlery..First chip shop to test fish temp with a meat probe..very tasty..would recommend highly.

Best chips I've had in years. Nice guys too!

The chips were like bullets, the Cod tasted like Haddock. The coffee was lovely. Won't be going again.

Earlier today me and my family came in for lunch. There was only 5 of us and we waited patiently to be seated, an older women with short hair and glasses asked us how many of us there was and we said 5. And then told us to follow her into a different room which we did then she proceeded to say “ it told you to wait out there” in a very harsh tone. we thought this was very rude and left instantly. Was very disappointed as was looking forward to some fish and chips for lunch.

Food was decent, but a seaside chippy with Malt vinegar! Really 🤔

This very busy and friendly family run fish and chip shop makes wonderfully fresh and tasty fish and chips at a fair price. We have visited before and it is consistently good. If you're visiting Deal, then you must try Sea View.

The chips were good, the fish watery and tasteless. Might have been fresh last month. Mush covered in batter.

Great chips, crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside

Very disappointed with the attitude of the female server that took our order. Only wanted chips as not overly hungry. We had chips and two coffees but made to feel our order didn't define a 'meal' Previously have had no issues with only wanting a plate of chips here.

Fish and chips are very good. Friendly staff the food is very good and worth a visit

Lovely crunchy batter, and great chips! Really nice fish restaurant by the sea ,

Great view of the sea and chips.

After a lovely walk on the list we called in here for a sit down meal. Tried the Rock Fish, or Dog fish some will call it. Excellent food and service

I mostly use sea view for fish and chips, however I’ve noticed the price is going up (yes I know the price of everything is going up) but the portion size is going down. It’s a real shame as I’ve always like the quality but I also need some level of quantity. I will have to do a a price and portion comparison soon with another local fish and chip shop which I feel is on par quality wise and see who wins. I suspect the other business.

One of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! We shared two cod and haddock traditional plates with extra mushy peas and pickled onions. Totally faultless and we were lucky to get a table in the window too! Would thoroughly recommend and would certainly go there again.

Great food , staff are very helpful i always go there with my Mum

Lovely food , great atmosphere with friendly staff . What's better than eating fish n chips whilst looking out to sea . Definitely will be going back soon .

Lovely little seaside fish and chip restaurant nice food great service and excellent views.

Best fish and chips - the batter is so light and crispy. Staff are very friendly and polite. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Very efficient service and great food, freshly cooked.

Very disappointing food. Ordered the cod and the whole thing was just white mush/mulch, no actual fish meat at all and half of the chips were just flat crisps that were too hard to eat. Definitely not worth £13. My children didn't manage to eat much of theirs either. Total of £40, could have gone on much better food elsewhere.

I wanted our children to experience proper British chips and Sea View Fish Restaurant were able to provide these for us. The service was friendly and the chips were delicious. The restaurant offers an eat in restaurant and a takeaway and specialises in Seafood from the local area. Food was reasonably priced and I recommend Sea View Restaurant.

We have been to the Sea View Restaurant many times during our Kingsdown Camping trips and their Fish and Chip meals have always been superb. As we had spent a few days in Dover post Christmas we thought we would pop over to Deal for a walk and have a late eat-in lunch at the Sea View. Sadly this time we left rather disappointed as we were served Fried Frozen Chips! What’s going on? May have been a temporary measure by Sea View to get over some short term problem (who knows) but would have liked to have been informed first. Fresh Fish and Chips is what we were looking for and expecting- not use of Frozen chips thank you! Staff were still friendly and efficient as usual though.

DISGUSTING AVOID!! HORRIBLE FROZEN FOOD FROM FREEZER AND RUDE TO ALL CUSTOMERS

Excellent fish and chips, and the only one open till 2000 on a Sunday in deal. Cooked fresh, hot, crispy and tasty. Spot on

Hi, We visited Deal pier today, Dec 8th 2023 and afterwards popped in the Sea View restaurant for some lunch. We hadn't booked, walked in off the street and were greeted by friendly chatty staff and were made to feel welcome. I had the large haddock and chips, mushy peas and a pickled egg. My wife had the Large Cod and chips. Our meals were cooked to perfection. The batter was light and crisp, the fish was superb on both meals and revealed fresh white flakes as you cut into the good sized fillets and the chips were crisp and tasty. Both meals were presented with accompanying salad. It was a fantastic fish and chip meal. The resteraunt was smart and very clean and the staff were great. Mugs of tea were good too. Definitely worth a visit.

The food here is amazing and delicious, the staff here are very friendly and nice. We was served by 2 lovely and kind waiters, who made sure to check on us and provided excellent customer service. The portions of the food was great. I highly recommend this place😊

All in all a great place for a fish and chips dinner, we have been coming here for years and do recommend to guests. Cod was fantastic tonight, chips great but we did feel the halloumi starter was a bit small. After a lovely day out looking at properties and visiting Walmer Castle Christmas 🎅🏼 Experience going home to cook was not looking appealing 😉 Our only other down side is one of our three children wanted a large meal (under 12) and the other (who is over 12) wanted a large meal but we were told we had to order both large meals no exceptions which when you have a child who hardly eats and then most of the adult portion was left is a little frustrating. I felt a little bit of leniency could have been more helpful. All in all 5 dinners, a couple of sides, drinks came in at £73, good value in the current day and decent portions.

Got takeaway fish and chips. Very poor quality fish, looked like it came from a box out the freezer and considering this is a seaside town you expect to get freshly caught freshly battered fish. What I got was certainly NOT freshly caught or freshly battered more like Iceland supermarket. Chips were not good either. Extremely disappointed. Do not recommend a takeaway here at all.

On our two day trip to Deal, we are here twice. Best fish and chips we have had in a long time. Fresh fish, batter to die for. The service was brilliant and the staff are very friendly. Will definitely return!

If you're in Deal don't leave till you've been here,the fish and chips are amazing 👌😎

Great service and superb fish !!

Beautiful fish, chips and mushy peas served piping hot by a lovely friendly waitress Sophie and very efficient waiter Dan. 5 star 🌟

Skate twice the best around. Chips great crisp, not that soggy oil Chips.

As usual fantastic food, took the teenage grandchildren , for the first time we are regulars there, had mussels they were on special really tasty the food and service is always spot on cannot fault the food

The best chips I have eaten ever. Can't say better than that. With very good curry sauce. I bought to take away. Sat on the beachfront opposite.

The best fish and chips I have had for a long time. So good to sit in the restaurant, be served and enjoy flaky firm fish, in delicious crispy batter and hot chips made from real potatoes . A real treat. Attentive staff and swift service

We chose to hide in the Sea View and have lunch away from the very strong winds outside, and what a treat. The portions are nice and generous, the fish is fresh and delicious, and the staff are attentive, so a very enjoyable lunch. Definitely worth a visit when in Deal

Great fish and chips. Friendly staff, generous portions.

The best fish and chips we’ve had in a long while!! It was quickly cooked to order making it super fresh. We decided to have them open so was able to eat in the sunshine, across the road and on the beach - perfect!

Former employee review: I had a mixed experience working at Sea View. While the food quality was commendable, there were certain issues that left me disappointed. The management's policy of deducting staff tips for mistakes was disheartening, and I found it unprofessional when I was asked to pursue a customer who left without paying—an action that is both illegal and goes against common hospitality practices. Additionally, I was expected to cover the customer's unpaid bill from my own wages, which seemed unfair. Overall, the work environment left room for improvement in terms of ethical and professional standards.

One of the Best Fish & Chips. Clean & big portions.

Rude old fish face who works here. We only asked if there was any tables and she was so rude, she said no and practically rushed us out the door right behind us and slammed the door, I mean how rude seemed like she Couldn’t wait to get rid of us. disgusting customer service she has what a rude abrupt ignorant person and thats what they have working at this place Serving customers. Disgraceful. She looks like a battered old fish so miserable.

Just a couple of trial shifts before a possible job offer

Had a fish and chip lunch and it’s the best I’ve had in a very long time. Everything about it was good quality, hot and very well cooked. It’s nice crispy batter and not greasy. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and spacious. The staff are very friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

This is our go to fish restaurant by deal beach it turns out we know the owners family from dimchurch where my partner is from. Friendly service never wait long for food despite it being busy. Our favorite is the haddock delicious, portion size is ample for a hungry man. We usually follow it up with an ice cream sat on the sea front. Its usually windy so nice on the hot days.

This my second visit to Seaview Restaurant. My partner and I enjoyed haddock and chips. The fish is fresh, the batter is delicious. Highly recommend. 😋

Nice Cod and Chips, generous portions. Recommend grabbing this and going to sit by the beach with a blanket

This sea front place offers both eat in and take away, the latter being slightly cheaper. A medium Cod & Chips in the restaurant was £12.95. The fish was fine; the chips a little disappointing (rather pale and slightly underdone); and the salad garnish excellent (top quality ingredients very freshly prepared).

Couldn't Fault the Fish, the Chips were To Hard to eat, we did Complain. Wouldn't go there again..

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Perfectly crispy light batter, fantastic chips. Amazing

Went to Sea View with our son, daughter in law and granddaughter’s. They had visited previously and were raving about how yummy the food was in Sea View. Well, we cannot disagree. Two of us had cod and chips, 2 Rock and chips, and two scampi and chips. What can we say but......the best fish and chips we have had in a long time. We live in Bournemouth and have plenty of fish and chips restaurants, some boasting about the freshness of newly caught fish, but Sea View was above and beyond. Every meal was great. The staff were attentive without being over the top and hopefully we will be back again for another delicious meal.

This was the best I've ever had. I had rock which was cooked to perfection,so fresh and tasty. Chips were also cooked perfectly. Young team. Very polite, courteous, with prompt service. Portions just perfect too. Highly recommended

Have been to this restaurant before as we are residents of Deal and we have always had a good meal, however on this occasion we were unable to book a table. As we had someone with us who suffers from a severe disability we needed...

Overcooked, tasteless fish - batter snapped off as so crispy. Chips undercooked. Some of the worst fish and chips I've had. Told the waitress who apologised but didn't try to rectify it then brought the bill with no discount. Only conclusion is that they're not...

Top quality fish & chips, it doesn't get much better than here. Friendly staff. Clean with a friendly atmosphere. Great views.

Decided to sit in and wasn’t disappointed! Skate was one of the specials so ordered that along with a large cod and chips and kids’ meals. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Food was OUTSTANDING! Standout meal of our holiday!...

Very disappointed in the quality of food Very oily & attitude of server was unwelcoming won't return. 5 stars 🌟 for location.

Wonderful deep fried things, a number of them gluten free.

Loved eating here! Food was delicious and large portions. They catered well for children with dietary requirements AND understood the issues. I will definitely go to eat there again the next time I'm visiting my friend! Thank you.

Great service and wonderful food. The fish & chips was cooked really well. Having gluten free dishes, a big plus.

Crispy fried fish ＆chips was really nice. Staffs are friendly and smiling, atmosphere is good!!

Probably the best fish and chips in the UK!

Great service , great food. Super crispy fish,l and chips, generous portions and really well priced. Gluten free options too catered for.

Standout service - young staff but efficient, friendly and didn’t put a foot wrong. Offered high chair and everything for our toddler with any prompting, and great on allergies. Food was good too. Impressive.

Seaview, and it definitely has the view from where we sat and had the delicious food. I tried the Seafood basket, and it was tasty, fresh apart from being a big portion with chips and salad. My partner tried Rock and was very impressed plus loved the decent portion size. Chips are nicely done, which is a bonus. Staff are very friendly and attentive. The place was busy, and the takeaway was quite popular. It is air-conditioned too.

Everything was amazing, especially the view.

Go there regularly. Staff very helpful and friendly. I'm glad to see that portion sizes have reduced. Can now eat the whole meal.

Visited the restaurant last weekend as a family of 7 for a late lunch/early dinner. Food was hot and tasty, drinks were great, service was brilliant! Great sea and pier view. We enjoyed a Whitby scampi and chips, cod and chips, 2 pie and chips and 2 children's meals, all which were generous in portions. We will definitely be back😄

Lovely fish and chips, excellent service

Arrived at the Sea View without a reservation, seated quickly by helpful and friendly staff. The four of us ordered cod with chips. After a little wait we were treated to the most wonderfully fresh fried fish and non-greasy chips, cumbers and onions a must....

If I could give this no stars I would. We went here because of the TripAdvisor reviews but I was sorely disappointed. As soon as we stepped through the takeaway doors the foul fishy smell hit me. The takeaway chips just tasted of fish oil (only ate a few) & during the night I had the worst stomach ache I've had in years that I can only put down to the chips. Even the thought of them makes me feel sick. Dreadful experience, never again.

Great fish and chips but dine in service a bit slow as staff seemed to be busy with takeaways.

Clinical surroundings like hospital waiting room. Rude service, not sympathetic to elderly needs. Accusatory with no apologies when shown incorrect. Would not return.

Excellent haddock and chips. Friendly service. Highly recommended

Busy, very good service, freshly cooked. First class chips and very nice haddock (batter not as light as some) thoroughly enjoyable, eaten on the seafront

Lovely cod and chips, coffee was good too. Friendly service, will go again.

Ordered the seafood basket from the specials menu.. battered prawns, salt and pepper squid, scampi and calamari , chips and side salad. Was really yummy ( was delivered so hot it took a little while to cool to eat!😋) Really lovely food, good service. Will be back again. Thanks. 🙂

Fantastic lunch from here , chips were fresh and plentiful, Chicken pie very tasty also fishcake and sausage. The two young men behind the counter were lovely, and so friendly...

Been going to this restaurant for years. It really upped its game a couple of years back with smiley, slick service and nice little touches like warm towels to clean hands after the meal. Not any more. The fish is still cooked well. The chips...

It is one of my favourite fish & chips restaurants! Fresh fish, big portions and kind staff! I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic fish and chips, really friendly staff, even offered to replace a drink for us when we clumsily knocked it over. I am a manual wheelchair user and this venue is accessible to sit inside which was great

Vet vet very long wait. Awful service, rude person behind the counter, waited forever and no acknowledge or apology!

The best fish & chips ever. & my parents ran a fish & chip shop. Fabulous & the staff were so lovely Wld definitely recommend

Lovely food staff very friendly and welcoming my son loves going in there the cod and chips is very tasty and always hot

If you visit Deal in Kent, UK don't miss the excellent fish and chips and friendly service at the Sea View Restaurant on the sea front.

Always service with a smile and always great food

Sea View is a very good chippie/restaurant. The staff are friendly and very professional. Highly recommended,

Lovely place. The fish was fresh and the service was excellent! Thank you.

Rock = good Chips = good Waitress server fumbling with the receipt machine = adorable

Was recommended this,Generous portion fish and chips,staff friendly.

Best fish and chips I have had for many years. The haddock and chips were absolutely delicious in a perfect, crispy batter.

Really good fish and chop shop, we ate in and the service was really good too. Nice views of the sea

The best fish and chips EVER! Thoroughly recommended, really fresh food and lovely people. Go go go!

Best Fish and Chips in town. Generous portions and friendly service. Recommend the Salt and Pepper Squid.

Great takeaway service and reasonable prices, would definitely go back! Served by a lovely friendly lady who was super helpful, can't fault. Food was great too 😊

Husband had large haddock and LOVED. Crispy outside, inside fish disappeared quickly :) I don’t like fish, but had mince and onion pie one night (happy) and one night they made me a salad and a larger portion of kids chicken nuggets, also happy. Great...

Best fish and chips we've had in a long time. Nothing laden with grease, everything crispy and just right.

Don’t go to Seaview fish and chip Shop in deal There are quite rude to staff Talk behind peoples back And they mess up on orders I wouldn’t recommend people go in there

Disappointed elderly cannot get small portions. Asked for childs portion and denied. Not able to eat usual size. So waste of money.
