Very nice food, called in on the off chance had to wait for it to be cooked but it was worth it. Chips were excellent and fish was cooked to perfection ..

Friendly welcome, decided to sit in. Fish very fresh and well cooked. Batter needs more air in and chips cool and soggy. Both can easily be improved. Taste of cooking oil lingered on way home...let fish drain a bit longer. Cup of tea was good...now a slice of lemon on the side, proper knives and forks and cup, you gave choice, but be confident and do the best each time. Now value for money exceptional. With a bit of tinkering, this would be a 5 star. My review is meant to be helpful, liked the staff and I will be back.

My wife and I fancied a fish and chips lunch , it was Friday after all , and also fancied a drive to a beach . So after a Google search we set off from south east London to Greatstone and earmarked the Varne fish bar for the lunch , the reviews were very good . The reviews were not wrong . Very friendly staff and the fish and chips was delicious . The chips were perfect and the medium cod was filling enough coated in a lovely crispy batter and no skin to worry about . The large cod must be enormous . There’s a good choice on the menu if you fancy something else too . We shall definitely be visiting again . Thoroughly recommend.

Was staying at the Romney Sands holiday park for a 4 day break. Although I was a little disappointed that they were not open on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, I bought some food from here on Wednesday, and they were really good. They have also resisted putting up their prices, so they are good value also. Have been here several times throughout the years. **Update 12/6/2024** Back again for another break. Went there again and found that the food was really good again. Still the best in the area, and disappointed that I had to wait until Wednesday to experience their food. Prices have gone up, but they are still cheaper than the others in the area. **Update 11/09/2024** Back again for some more quality food, and it's still quite cheap. This time, there was a bit of a wait, probably down to their reputation, being very busy. They now have a system where you can either wait inside on one of the couches or wait in your car. They give you a tag that bleeps at you when your order is ready, so you can pick it up. I've never seen anything quite like it, but it does work, so I mustn't grumble. The only downside, which is beyond their control, is the number of roadworks just between the shop and the Romney Sands Holiday Camp. Will be back again!

The only issue is the service, if busy and you only want a sausage and chips to go and it’s sitting there cooked, then you have to wait your turn, ended up waiting 20 mins for the people wanting cooked fish.

When travelling down from Oxford and holidaying in the Greatstone area, I always make a bee-line for this smashing fish & chip shop. Loads of food to choose from and last weekend’s large cod & plaice was excellent. Lovely light batter and brilliant chips too. Back later in the year for a week - see you then!!😋👍🏻

Excellent quality fish and chips and great value for money. We live nearby and have fish and chips from The Varne about once a week. The chips are always freshly and perfectly cooked, as are the fish, and both are generously portioned. Nothing is too much trouble - we always ask for our fish to be lightly battered, and Barry or any of the other staff who are cooking that day always succeed in getting the right amount of batter on the fish and cooking it to perfection. All staff give excellent service. Our thanks to all of you at The Varne

By far the worse chips ever ! Dry old chips with no flavour what so ever, not crispy or fluffy, wow such a disappointing experience and waste of £40, will definitely not be returning. If you get a chance please visit V C Jones in Whitstable as they know how to really cook chips in beef dripping..

Ok so I love eating at the Varne as I live close and love a chippy, but there was one issue. A couple of months ago me and my mum, brother and nan went to eat and the next day my nan started vomiting and we realised she developed food poisoning and had to take her home. She is okay now but won't ever eat battered prawns more usually

I bought two large cod and chips and was delighted to see that their chips are cooked in beef dripping and also the prices are cheaper than other local fish and chip shops ! The menu was huge .service good and friendly but unfortunately when we got home and unwrapped our food we found the batter was flat and tasteless no where near as good as other chippies , and the chips had an odd taste and smelt funny not disgusting but certainly not nice, we thought maybe the dripping was old and needed changing? Anyway I hope we caught them on a bad and it is normally better than what we got ....but from me it's a no no ☹️

We have been holidaying in Wales, Devon, Cornwall and this was by far the best fish and chips out of about 6 chippies we visited. Having not lived in the UK for 12 years, was great to finally have a proper, quality fish and chip supper. You can tell they value maintain high standards 👍👍💪

We were on a family day out at Greatstone Beach and looking for fish and chip shop with seating. Absolutely brilliant luck on finding The Varne Fish Bar. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent freshly cooked Haddock and chips, about an hour before closing not sat in hot counters. Great little seating area, I was a kid at the beach again for a special treat. Roses on the tables and in my littleun’s eyes Mermaid cutlery. I could wax lyrical about little “Gem”, the sort of place we should treasure in an age of corporate blandness, but bottom line is an absolute beauty, go if you can and thank you., Chris.

Amazing. It's a bit like being invited round to a top chef's house for dinner. Small, homely atmosphere and you're greeted like old friends. Very limited menu of two things per course so only go if you're not picky, in sense that you eat a limited number of things. But do go if you're picky in the sense that you know really good food when you taste it. The food was incredible. Every single item of food was so elevated, it's hard to explain. The best example I can offer is that I've never had a tomato that tasted so tomatey. If that makes no sense, I can't help you. The wine was great, we tried the fizz and the picpoul and both were spot on. And then there was the creme brule. The absolute highlight.
