Absolutely lovely.. We are visiting the area and popped in for in for a takeaway for the family. It was absolutely lovely fish and wonderful batter, and the chips were so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'm so pleased we popped in, thank you. PS.. All reshly cooked and worth the wait..

Ordered a 1/4 pound burger which says on the menu served with Lettuce and you choice of Sauce, I was asked what sauce I wanted to which I said Burger Sauce, this was not a cheap burger and all I recieved was a burger with sauce, nothing else!, for £5.40, rip off, wont be going back!

Easy to order a large order, well packaged and friendly service. Fish wasn’t as crispy as I’d like and maybe a little more salt/ but that’s preference. A great fish and chip option in the area! Great price £120 for 12 of us! Chip portions are huge ! We shared 5

I’d heard the place was back on track from other caravan owners at our holiday park, so thought I’d give it another go… big mistake. Large cod: there was more flesh in the ‘youngs frozen’ cod fillet that I had to cook myself. Why did I have to cook something - the fish I had was slimy and both smelled and tasted ‘off’ - a strong ammonia smell under the soggy and insipid batter. Chips: were dry and chewy like they’d been sat around and reheated. Battered Sausage - no longer using Korkers sausages which were meaty - the sausage was more filler than meat, anaemic looking and soggy batter. That’ll be a no-go for any return for me and family - there are better options in the High Street.

Best take-away chips ever, by large haddock they mean LARGE. Just 2 mins from New Romney RD&H rail station and with council provided bench and litter bin opposite on green. What's not to like?

Not worth the money now!. This place seems to be under new management again. We got 4 regular cod and chips tonight and the fish was paper thin and small. Really disappointed considering the price point of £8 for regular and £10 for large cod. We'll stick to the Varne in future.

We were on the steam railway and decided to get off. The weather wasn’t nice windy and a bit rainy so it’s fair to say the only thing to do was eat. We didn’t fancy the cafe at the station so wandered down the road to the rod and line. The fish was crispy and tasty. The chips were crispy but could perhaps have done with a dash longer in the fryer as they were quite pale. Good with mayo and tartare. Bringing the seating options back they probably had pre-Covid would be good as we ended up sitting on a damp Bench over the road.

Visited a few times for take away lunch. Never an issue with the food, always cooked well & you don’t need to wait too long. Staff can come across as a little rude at times

Lovely food. The fish and chips was fresh and crispy. What more could you want. Service was good. They try to get your order as soon as possible but it is a budy fish and chip shop which speaks volumes

EDIT 2023 Rod & Line has changed hands many times in 5 years, and often, the results have been very poor, so we opted out. New cook and serving staff have transformed this chippy back to the epic status it originally was, and a chippy dinner from Rod and Line is back on our menu 😋 Would like more options, e.g, battered fruit / Mars bars / samosa, something a bit different 😋

I would’ve given it 0 if it wasn’t saved by the chips and curry sauce. This was the worst piece of fish of my life, the batter was disgusting and so greasy I couldn’t eat it. I took the fish out and that was well over cooked not great for a £15 meal

When we arrived in Dymchurch this evening we discovered that our usual fish and chip shop was closed. Then I remembered the rod and line, which we had used a couple of years ago under similar circumstances. So we went there, and when I arrived, I realised it was under new ownership. I did wonder whether the quality would be the same, but I needn’t have worried. Well done to the staff, the fish and chips were very Nice. In particular, the fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. The chips were also nice and the serving was very generous. We had ordered medium cod and chips. Recommend!👍👌

Chicken and chips were really nice. Potatoes seemed like new, which can be a problem to cook, but they were really nice. It might help being quite thickly cut chips. With most places, quarter chicken is alright. This was quite tasty. Would recommend.

The Rod & Line has been our go to for some time now but it has gone steadily downhill since it changed hands. The chips are now very greasy & the sausages are no longer Korkers but a cheap alternative. This downtown in quality has coincided with a price increase. We have had several bad meals from here recently & today thought we would give it one last chance & regretted it. It was disgusting & most of it went in the bin. We won’t be returning. Give the Rod & Line a miss.

Takeaway fish and chips. Service was a bit slow but we ordered vege spring rolls which were much nicer than usual chip shop spring rolls filled with mush. They were very fat and filled with beansprouts and veg. Bit annoying the fryer was on his phone while cooking. Chips were OK. And kids enjoyed huge jumbo sausages.

Appears to be ‘under new management’ and has sadly gone downhill. Chips greasy and with a dreadful after taste and no longer doing Korkers sausages - instead some cheap and nasty alternative that is more filler than pork. Disappointing given the previously excellent food served in this place. Wait times weren’t great. Meal served now in a plastic / polystyrene container rather than the previous cardboard or just paper wrapped - not a good environmental move.

Called in to collect supper for wife and myself. Quiet Monday and waited over 20 minutes for meal to be cooked! I appreciate food being cooked to order but on a quiet evening this seemed to be a little extreme! Saveloy/Sausage was good, chips decent, Curry Sauce tasteless! Not sure we would use again based on speed of turnaround. It’s meant to be fast food.

Since they have changed hands (latter part of 2022) I have been three times, unfortunately I have to say I won’t be returning. I have brought food from there from the past three owners, George & Pat, there son and the last owners. The past three times with the new proprietor and each time the chips were lukewarm. Today my third and final visit even the freshly (supposedly) cooked fish was only lukewarm and the skin was snotty (undercooked). I will look elsewhere until it changes hands again as there busy will not last!

Windows cleaner , although cobwebs internally by the fridge which is feeling somewhat neglected on the hygiene front as is the front door, the shelves both sides of the shop I feel sure would appreciate a wipe . On the plus side the floor looked cleaner The cod was a bit dry and the chips were to quote my sister in law " anaemic and soggy " It's a shame as this time last year the shop was clean and the food was nothing short of excellent. Dear rod and line you have lost your way somewhat, I hope you come true soon !

My wife and I visited and had fresh fish and chips cooked while we waited, the young lady on front of house was great, very thorough and knowledgeable. We could see some changes had been made and were interested to see if standard’s were maintained! I think the incredibly high standards enjoyed over the years are almost impossible to replicate but we had two very nice takeaway fish n chip meals and enjoyed the attention to detail exhibited by the staff. We will visit again even though it is over an hours journey, I still think it’s worth it😀

Banging fish and chips. These guys have got a good reputation for a good reason. When the area gets unexpectedly busy, their shop gets unexpectedly rammed. It’s a shame some people feel the need to rate them poorly for waiting times that are outside of their control. I tend to visit in person, and if there is a long waiting time I’ll make other arrangements

Sorry on this ocassion it was cold and over cooked. The delivery driver was prompt, but my food had been waiting around a while. The reason ( though i should not have to make one), is that this is that due to heart and other stuff this is a real treat for me! A few scampi and 6 chips off my sons plate( awful)! Disappointing. I shared the chunky curry sauce from my son, EVERYTHING else dipped in low fat mayo....and as burnt and cold ...sorry. when it us good i will heap on the praise!
