The Seafarer in Shepway

Based on reviews we had fish and chips from here and it was stunning. Properly done chips, gorgeous fresh fish done with a delicious light and crispy batter, and believe me when I say that I'm really fussy, so it must be good! And on top of that a group of happy and helpful staff, well done.

Best fish and chips in Kent, hands down 🙌🏼 Always super consistent and fresh 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent local fish and chips.

The best in Folkestone and Kent Been going to Seafarer over 4 years... Best Chef anywhere And very clean..Would recommend Seafarer to anyone..chef and staff are clean and Brilliant 👏 👌

The best fish & chips pity it’s only take away

Quick service on a Saturday late afternoon. Very nice cod and chips at a reasonable price. We would certainly recommend.

On our way back home to london from a holiday in France we stopped off here for a chippie tea to have in the car. Simply the best fish and chips I’ve had in England by a mile. Superb!

Totally love this place, there has been a fish and chip shop on this site for decades, growing up I use to get chips from here even before current owners who must of been there like 30years or something like that, it's always fresh, and place looks very clean, great selection and kiddy meals are also great value, one of my favourite chippies

This place does the best chips in Kent, wow, and amazing value with great service, staff are brilliant at what they do! Menu is spot on, don't change a thing! Update, 4 years on and they are still making the best fish and chips I've had in Kent! Here's to another update in 4 years again!

Hello really nice always been good

Lovely tasting Cod & Chips with Curry Sauce. Blonde girl with a “K” necklace is absolutely stunning too 🍑👌

Probably one of the most popular chippies in Folkestone. Pretty quick and friendly service. I pick up from here for Just Eat.

The chips were cooked and were well seasoned, and the pie was cooked all away through the food was fast and the service brilliant

Great fish, great chips and even better service. Between us we had cod, cod bites and a battered sausage. All were really good. Thanks very much team.

We stayed at the beach in Sandgate and were told about Sea farer by a local and we were really impressed by the quality of the fish, crunchy and tasty not greasy. Food super hot and fast. Thanks

Good Friday 2024 had a large order. Phoned it in. Little waiting. Piping hot. Good crispy batter. Plenty food per portion. Not greasy. By far best chippy in South East and I've been to so many. Cost is cheaper than other venues and portions are generous. Dependable for good food .

Great fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 shop . Super fast on service and food you may have to wait a few minutes for

Food cold .contact them and said contact just eat .which is difficult as dont answer.wont be ordering again from them no offer to replace

Awesome, was super busy, but it was a Friday night, so expected. Super fresh, warm and tasty. Best fish and chips that I've ever had. We will be back. Thanks Team!

We have used the Seafarer many many times because their fish and chips are always perfect!

We really enjoyed our fish and chips there. Well recommended!!!

Best fish and chip shop in Folkestone - great service and amazing meals. Good idea to order by phone and collect. Cooked fresh to order.

Great fresh food for an excellent price. Always fast as well.

Really amazing fish and chips, not greasy, nice portion size and really tasty!

Best chip shop in Folkestone. We always go here and keep going back, have tried most of the chip shops in Folkestone but the Seafarer is still our favourite The top things they do better than everyone else: 1. Good sized portions of a very nice curry sauce and not in tiny cups. 2. Prices are very good for portion sizes compared to other shops, we are always full after eating here. 3. The food always come out nicely cooked and crisp batter and always hot, and never too greasy. 4. The staff practice good hygeine (always using ppe) and the shop is nice and clean whenever we have been. Highly reccomended.

Best fish and chips in Folkestone

The best in Folkestone and Kent Been going to Seafarer over 4 years... Best Cheff anywhere And very clean..

Well we have tried seafarer for the very last time we have had fish and chips from there when we have been in Folkestone as they were recommended about three years ago and back then they were good but the last couple of times we have been very disappointed with certainly the quality of the chips they are very thin and too crispy to eat most of them and the fish was on the dry side so can’t afford to throw any more money there way which is a shame

The best fish and chips by far in the folkestone and Hythe area.

Most tasty chips and fish or sausage. It's always great an I would say the best place in the area.

Have had very good English fish and chips served with salt and vinegar. Yummy- always a highlight of our journeys to the UK. Although we have just had the "paper-pound", the owner offered us a change. This we felt was extremely helpful and kind. Thanks again!

Best fish and chip shop around Folkestone.. always freshly cooked and taste amazing.. Service is always prompt.. My favourite is their Scampi

My favourite fish and chip shop.. Food is always great and the staff are so friendly.

Without a doubt, the best fish n chips in Folkestone. Forget those trendy places down by the harbour, in 5 years of going to the Seafarer I've not had one bad order. The fact that it's so popular means that you can walk in and with a simple order of cod n chips, get served instantly, and you know the fish has barely had time to sit under the lights before it's lovingly placed in the box, and straight into your hands. I'll never go anywhere else for my fish n chip fix.

The best fish and chips 🍟 we will come back soon

We ordered fish and chips for 2 on Sat 8th July at 6.00. They were awful - dried up overcooked fish and soggy chips!!! I don't understand what has gone wrong with this business - this use to be the best fish and chips in town. I feel annoyed to have wasted my money although we have been offered a free meal. Not really the point we would have liked it cooked well in the first place. Will look for another "chip shop"

One word, Superb. I moved from Yorkshire last year and found this gem, great food, great portions. No more to be said.

Ordered fish n chips around 6pm on a Saturday night expecting it to be hot and nice and fresh. The fish was dry and so were the chips. Clearly been sitting there for a while. Really disappointing as always used to be the best round and the prices have gone up a lot but that is the same everywhere!

Mild misunderstanding with what we ordered, They fixed the issue quickly and moved on, 10/10 service, great portions, great food, great price (alot of value for money)

Their food tastes soooo good! And great service from staff. It’s one of those places you’ll think about weeks on end after having it for the first time.

Usee to be 5 star since doing delivery gone down badly gone from one off the best to the worst had to actually ask got money back that poor will never be using again

Sitting here still waiting for my order from 2 hours ago! All they say is it's not their problem it's just eat, so even if by some miracle I do get my food it was cooked over 2 hours ago, great!!!!!!!! Discussing attitude with no intention to help, just blame someone else, great business model!!!!!!

I come all the way from London just for these! Genuinely the best I’ve ever had in life. Fresh quality of food. The kind owner is another bonus to visit the store! Lovely store with lovely people . Great value for the price.

Brilliant experience and the best fish and chips

We have few take aways but always know we can rely on The Seafarer for great fish and chips. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is always freshly cooked, a decent sized portion and good value.

First fish & chips post COVID after moving to Europe. Very good! Convenient for Eurotunnel

Lovely place,good food. Best part is no waiting time to order and get served.

Great fish and chips fast service what more can you say 🤔 😀

Waited age's for food Uber drivers got priority and there local mates. Food was good apart from the spring roll which was a Iceland special very bad avoid going to think about going elsewhere in future as normally good but this experience is substandard

Great fish n chips. Shame they don't do kebab meat anymore, but still tasty and good value. Pleasant staff too

Ordered by phone, told collection ready at 10 past the hour.......Still waiting 20minutes after my order was ready for collection......what is the point in taking telephone orders and giving a collection time if you can't fulfil it !!!

I was an employee at the seafarer for a few months and I have to say that it was a great place to work. Everyone was friendly and the boss was always willing to help out when I needed it. The burgers were always fresh and delicious, and the customers were always happy. The hours were flexible and I was able to adjust my hours to fit my schedule. I really enjoyed my time at the burger shop and would recommend it to anyone looking for a job in the food industry.

Best chip shop, lovely fish and chips, fairly priced and good service

Absolutely brilliant fish and chips.Batter is not greasy the fish is lovely and always lovely and freshly cooked.

This shop has the best fish and chips ever. Not in my area but always go there. The staff are very efficient and nice. Everthing is cooked fresh as you go in and order. I would give them a lot more stars. Brilliant service.

Have been going here for fish and chips for years and have never had a bad meal. Good size portion and always fresh and hot. Staff are friendly given the fact that they are often over run with customers at busy times. Would definitely recommend.

Best in Folkestone. Great food.

Fast service, good food and polite staff. Ideal takeaway for cod and chips or other takeaway favourites.

Not greasy. Decent portions. Lush food. Good pricing. One of the best chip shop around.

Great food, big portions. Good variety of food. Very friendly and efficient staff. Best fish and chip shop in the area.

Wow! Fantastic fresh food, chips, battered sauages and pie cooked to perfection and fresh. Very generous portions, will definitely be back

Always great size portions , Great food , great staff - best around

Staff were friendly and helpful, and the food great. I will be back.

Best fish and chips in Folkestone. Great portion sizes for the price. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

One of the best fish and chip shops in the area would hardly recommend their food

Great service, very clean, decent portion sizes and didn't have to wait long for the food!! Will come again

Very nice fish and chips, the large chips are enormous

Lovely, freshly cooked, hot food and good portion sizes - the best chippy in Folkestone. My only criticism is that, out of the 7 or 8 staff behind the counter, not one of them smiled at a customer - even once - (although they were laughing and joking amongst themselves).

Excellent fish n chips,,numerous visits over the last 2 years,,top chipy

Always happy to help fantastic food best in town

Excellent Fish & Chips, 5 mins from Euro tunnel!

Quality staff. Quality food. Quality prices.. Spot on.

Great chippy, great portions and amazing food, first time trying this place and definitely will not be the last, cannot wait to go again!

Always good chips. My just eat orders have always been correct.

Excellent service and food. Large cod and chips - very large portion - for under a tenner. We'll organised Would use again and very convenient for Holiday Inn Express nearby.

Best chipper around, priced well and and nice people. Tried everything around but this is a family favourite for sure!!

Good, but chips were a bit dry. We did arrive quite late though

Best Fish'n'Chips in Folkestone

Great fish 'n' chips. Good service from cheerful, polite & friendly staff. Found on the main road, it's very difficult for parking, but there's always the B.P. Garage across the road, which could offer something to drink & dessert. Update for 2022 still a great chippy. The best I think in this area. However have noted the owners/seniors on duty seem to get at the junior staff. Makes me feel uncomfortable. So lighten up those in charge!!!

Freshly cooked plaice, a mountain of chips. Excellent value. Yes you might have to wait 10 minutes for it to be cooked, but well worth the wait. Highly recommended.

just had fish & chips and a burger, fish was average, chips were poor and cold.Burger just plain with no extras,not what I expected, staff busy talking to each other. would have liked my money back but cannot contact on-line

Amazing cod and chips. Very large portions with chips a medium will serve two people. Definitely will be having takeaways from there forever.

Called here after a journey on the Chunnel over from Disneyland Paris... Read the great reviews on Google and decided to give it a whirl for a late bite to eat.. Staff were friendly & funny, food was super fresh, and very tasty. We have an award winning chippy by us in North Wales, so to match that takes some doing...but it did.. Great chippy, go grab a tasty treat..

The best chippie in the area, hands down

Easily the best fish and chips my wife and I have ever had! Freshly cooked with efficient staff. Bearing in mind I live near the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland we are used to quality sea food

Best fish and chip shop for miles. You can't beat the service, quality or quantity. Don't bother with any other fish shop

I have been going to The Seafarer for sometime and always very happy with service and food but tonight it all went very wrong both my son's and my fish was very dry and tasteless I did let them know that we were disappointed but I felt an apology was not enough as it is no longer a cheap meal. It seems the delivery bikers have taken over which means that quality and service are no longer available for the regular customers I shall definitely be looking elsewhere

Amazing fish and chips that are consistently really good. Friendly staff, efficient and helpful. Really well priced as well. Would recommend strongly.

Great food good people good service what more can I say

Always lovely from here and reasonably priced for what you get.

Great food, lots of staff serving three customers seems to have confusion 🥴 ordered at 17:00 received 17:35 a long wait. Some staff not wear 😷 some staff need to be retrained and up the game. What a shame 😞

Lovely chips, generous portions.

Messed up the simplest of orders

Best fish and chips in folkestone

Best fish and chips me and the family have ever had would drive up to the coast just to enjoy the chips from this place love it you wont be sorry even if you have to wait inline for a little

Can't fault anything about this chippy. Always a high standard, service is spot on.

Great cando fish with no battery lovely

Outrageous portion sizes, fresh fish, perfectly cooked chips. It doesn't get any better than this place in Folkestone for fish and chips.
