Tom Bell Traditional Fish And Chips in Sevenoaks

Food was lovely. Did not take long to prepare. Collected and home while it was still warm.

Great fish & chips at a reasonable price!

lovely clean place. sausage was delicious but the chips were still raw in the centre

Great fish and chips, reasonably priced and friendly helpful staff

We went in for dinner. The fish and chips were freshly cooked and were really good, the service was good and to be honest, I was quite surprised at the price, I've paid a lot more for a takeaway at the other chip shop in town, it wasn't nearly as good as Tom Bells and I'd expect to pay a lot more to eat in.

Great service, beautifully freshly cooked fish with light crispy batter, chips were lovely. I would recommend Tom's to anyone visiting Edenbridge. ❤️

We fancied fish and chips tonight and our local is poor so we tried this one, or at least we tried to try it. On arrival there were three people at the counter, one was busy adding up some figures and didn't look up, I felt I was imposing. When my patience ran out and I summoned up the courage to interrupt to verify that in April 2024 this is a place which only takes cash in store, and to br told there'd be a fifteen minute wait for anything, I decided it was too much trouble and tried a different place up the road, which was a good decision.

We have not used Tom Bells fish and chip shop for sometime well sorry folks we will not be using this place ever again the chips were dry the cod bites well if you saw them you would not eat them and the peice of cod that I had was over cooked the only thing they did,nt muck up was the all steak pie that my missus had. I did not pay good money only to throw the majority away. NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE THIS PPACE HAS CERTAINLY GONE DOWN HILL.

Had plaice and chips but 25% of the place was inedible. It was just dried, battered skin. You must know what it is like before it is battered. Just battered to make it look bigger?

Great new owner, with some good idea. Nice food and always service with a smile.

Can I just say Cain is fantastic as the new owner, he really cares about his staff talking to them with such empathy, also cares about his customers taking the time to chat and he cares about what he does. Well done

The food is really good worth a try, however it can take a while for it to come

Just had the worst fish and chips ever.

A popular place with a good reputation. This was our first visit here and we were sadly disappointed. The haddock was well cooked but the batter was too thick and somewhat more greasy than expected. (Just as if the cooking oil temperature was less high than needed). The size of the chips portion was on the small side, though the quality of the chips was OK. So nothing to rave about, and not in any way unacceptable. The pricing was slightly on the high side, but with prices going up all the time that little extra cost might have been expected. There are better fish and chip shops, but maybe not in Edenbridge.

Lovely local fish and chip shop. Child friendly. Had fish and chips myself and my kids had the children’s menu. Clean restaurant area and toilets. Friendly and efficient staff. Weirdly they don’t accept cash here but there’s an ATM at the nearby Waitrose.

Disgraceful. The worst Tom bell ! Bought 3 large haddock and chips and a scampi and chips. The staff were disinterested and poorly presented . Ordered and then told " we only take cash no cards here !" One for you Mr chancellor! The shop was messy and dirty stock not put away , very off putting . The food was dreadful, the bater was like armour plating overcooked on the outside flour and water on the inside. The fish was totaly over cooked and very oilily so much so it was dripping out of two of the boxes . The scampi were in fact batter bags in some cases the bater cases were compleatly empty. Chips were just OK. If this is a franchise it should be revoked !

Great fish and chips but only gave 4 stars because you can't pay with a card in the shop !! You can if you order online and then pick up from shop seems crazy this day and age Get up to date Tom Bell

I'm afraid our experience of this shop was very disappointing. They were obviously understaffed and therefore we waited for half an hour for our takeaway. The portions were small and poor quality. Far too expensive for what it was.

Leaked more oil than the Torrey Canyon ☹

What super caring staff. Add to that really good NON GREASY fresh as and crispy fish and chips. Brilliant!

The best fish & chip shop in the world. Used to love this place as a small child (dine-in and take out!) and now still go well out of my way to grab Edenbridge Tom Bells 25 years later, when home from New York. Thank you, Tom Bells! You guys are THE BEST.

They got my order wrong twice. It's so bloody annoying when you get home and see they put the wrong piece in the bag. Wont order again from there!!!

First time visit. Seen to and seater no problems. The waiter came over, took our order & food came out shortly after. Great, hot & tasty food. A true little gem - nothing beats fish & chips except a fish & chip restaurant! Thank you 👍 Image: cod & chips + cod wrap & chips

Asked for chips and gravy and ended up with chips in a paper bag with a carton of gravy! Asked for a tray but they didn’t have any and he wouldn’t let me sit in the dining area! How am I supposed to eat that in a car?? Complete wast of my hard earned money and the guy behind counter was rude and not helpful at all. Didn't even eat the food and would not go back.

Best fish and chips I ever had definitely recommend

bought chips yesterday, what could go wrong?? if they were wrapped traditionally in paper I could have seen what was being sold and refused to pay, as it was, the guy serving had his back to me and had closed the `bag` before turning and handing it to me closed. at first opening it looked pretty standard fare but upon reaching the halfway point of the bag, discovered he had deliberately filled the rest with tiny bits of hard potato. how sad and cheap spirited of this oafish server to dish up deliberately inedible food rather than bin it and fry some more....its only potato ffs. the resaurant area has tomato sauce in its dispensers that reminds me of the nastiest cheap sweetened stuff i was familiar with at 1980s football grounds or building site canteens.....sad penny pinching stuff....avoid

Worst fish and chips iv had. over priced greasy food and was all over cooked 🤮🤮🤮

First time ordering from here yesterday. We had the cod and chips. The fish tasted really good and wasn't greasy at all. The chips were super tasty too. Portions are quiet good. Staff are extremely polite. Would definitely recommend this place.

Ordered first time from thsi place. O m g glad I did!! Food was amazing not flying dripping with fat not at all! Fresh and taste mint the best iv tasted Fella had the burger 🍔 and he said was the best he had! We will be back x

Leyla the new girl is very nice and the fish and chip are the best.

Good fish and chips. Efficient service.

Good fish and chips but quite expensive.

I had medium cod and chips mushy peas bottle of water huge bread roll like a loaf of bread apple juice and a tin of drink my missus had halloumi grilled cheese chips and salad and one drink came to £26 you can't complain at that clean plates we'll be back x

Foods good but service is a little slow. Even ordering online and specifying a time seems to mean they'll start making it when you arrive.

Fantastic fish and chips. Properly cooked and not at all greasy. We ordered a small cod, large chips and two saveloys. We got a big piece of cod, two long saveloys and enough chips to feed a small army !! The pineapple fritters were great, too!! Well worth a visit... !! Thank you.

I should have checked the Hygiene ratings (3) and my past experience of this takeaway before even considering to order through Just eat from here again! My first experience last year was so greasy and soggy. This time everything was burnt or stale. The fish was way overdone so the batter was almost burnt and the fish was chewy not pleasant. My daughters nuggets were burnt. The burger and the buttered roll (hotdog roll) were rock hard and unwrapped so pretty much stale. Not a pleasant experience at all. Will NOT recommend and will not go there ever again. And just to add, I'm not being fussy, I have photos which I will upload later! The only good thing was the delivery lady was happy.... no surprise as they made money for 4 meals that were disgusting.

Lovely fish and chips this evening tasted great and lovely and hot, and delivered quickly.

Fantastic fish, huge portions and brilliant service. I got delivered by a lovely lady who was friendly and we had a laugh. 100% recommend!

Excellent food, excellent service and the do ice creams Couldn't ask for more.

Definitely not. The lady was very rude. After she charged double the money for small fish and chips that 3 nice ladies were charged. Her unbelievable reply after taking the money was: " Next time DON'T order any more." 😲😲😤😤 Toilets Very dirty. No ventilation for the horrible smell. No hand soap. No receipt was given when asked. All cash. Shame. So many people are trying the best and jet there are people like her. No no no

Good place to pick up some tasty fish and chips or whatever tickles your fancy! Lots of choice here. Friendly staff. You can eat in or takeaway which is good. Note that it's Cash only here, at the time of writing this, which is unusual in this day and age!

We really enjoyed the cod and chips served today. All cooked fresh so you will need to wait at least 10 minutes outside as you can't stay inside with social distancing rules. Would recommend.

Great fish and chips reasonably priced.

Perfect experience - requested for fish and chips to be packaged together to help with socially distanced picnic (!), which they fulfilled perfectly, delivered on time, lovely and hot and tasty. Will definitely use again!

I love Tom Bell's fish and chips, cooked fresh, and not full of oil.

Very nice highly recommend will be going back 100%

I must have gone on an 'off' night. The fish was well cooked but only just warm. The chips....ive never tasted anything like it....luke warm and very very dry...almost like cardboard. I had heard good things about this shop and i try not to post negative reviews but i will need a bit more convincing before i try their chips again.

The best when it comes to fish and chips nice clean shop and the food was mouth watering! recommended to anyone in the area!

Best fish and chips in the area!

Enjoyed a delicious meal, the atmosphere is lovely nice clean and fresh environment. Staff are very polite. Food cooked to perfection and presented nicely. Go and you won't be disappointed.

Lovely fish and chips always nice

Had a lovely lunch here early January weekend, whilst we were staying at Hever. Husband had Savaloy and I had Fish Bites both with chips. Perfectly cooked, Crisp proper hand made chips and very tasty. We met the owners young son who helped take the order, a lovely little lad. The restaurant was lovely and clean, the food was excellent as was the tea. Very good value for money.

Was very good but last visit very disappointed, fish not cook to perfection, think it depends on the cook!!!

I don’t go very often but had takeaway pie and chips for lunch. The chips were soggy, the pie tepid and the curry sauce the worst I have ever tasted. Won’t be going back

Called in for lunch with my 2 grand daughters. Staff were very friendly. Food was freshly good, hot and tasty.

The quality of food in this place has gone down considerably. Batter on fish is far to thick, pies are heated up in microwave and therefore pastry is soggy, fillings are non existent .

I was lucky enough to notice a small poster in their window saying Gluten free fish and chips served on Wednesday and as it was Wednesday and we wanted lunch in we went. they have a fairly spacious restaurant in their fish and chip shop, plain but very clean and a nice view of the high St, they have a wide range of fish not just cod which is nice, we had a an excellent gluten free fish chips and mushy peas with very good service. There is a large car park behind the shop,

We ate in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed our fish and chips. It was the first time in years I had been offered rock and it brought back memories from my childhood. Prices were very reasonable too.

Very nice food, friendly staff, not a long wait

I usually like sausage rolls but this time I had sausage in batter. It was batter than I expected and the staff were nice

As long time residents we rate this shop highly. All the food is high quality and prepared to order. Chips are really good. Chunky style and cooked perfectly never greasy or soggy. Calamari is reconstituted filling which may not be to everyone's taste but like everything else is cooked well and tasty and is really popular. Vegan and gluten free catered for really well. The only reason it's not five stars is because it's cash only. I'm a fan of cashless. Cash only dealing? I always wonder why?

Enjoyed a very pleasant evening with friends. An unpretentious restaurant where the staff delivered excellent customer service and the fish and chips were beautifully cooked. It's so nice to go somewhere which exceeds expectations rather than disappoints. Thank you

My friends and i ate in the restaurant and were very impressed by the friendly service which went beyond what we expected. Our fish was cooked beautifully and flaked as it should and the chips were delicious.

Very good fish and chip shop.portions are very large and not overly expensive.can eat in or take away.

My friends and I frequented the restaurant recently and were impressed with the service we received. When booking I enquired whether they served Prosecco or Cava but was told they didn't. To our surprise we were delighted to find they had purchased a bottle of Prosecco for us.. Service indeed. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful.

We visit my nephew most Fridays and treat them to a takeaway, Chinese, Indian and fish and chips. Fish and chips we get from Tom Bells's in Edenbridge as taht is where they live. It was always first rate but lately absolutely terrible. About 3 months ago I was the only one who had fish and it was absolutely awful, fish was tough and batter thick and uncooked in the batter close to the fish was still like uncooked batter mix. A month later all the adults had fish and chips and the kids had chicken nuggets, the batter was burnt and the oil tasted old. Lastly this evening 16th August 2019 we tried again again fish was awful batter overcooked and chips were not freshly cooked. We shan't be having them again they have had enough chances.

Lovely food with friendly staff to serve you your food.

Great cod and chips and children's menu. Very polite staff.

very average mildly pricey dine in plate of fish and chips + salad, vinegar in glass bottle on table was old and cloudy. decor: old.

Feeling peckish we decided to get some chips and chicken wings to eat our side. Food was tasty and enjoyable. There is a restaurant but we didn't go in. However, it seemed to be doing good trade

Go here when visiting my nan. Always a warm welcome and lovely food. The man working in restaurant is always so patient and good with the kids and has a really pleasant manor Had the breakfast menu today and it was amazing!!

The best chips around and if you ask for extra crispy they get even better!!!

Everything as it should be. Great service

Had sausage and wasn't very well afterwards.

Chicken wings starter is superb, followed by a lovely cod & chips. Great friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Chips were amazing the best I have had in a long time

Food and staff great. But really really expensive.

This really is the best fish & chips in town. There is a restaurant too and they have beers! Prices are also reasonable.

Mostly friendly, reasonable price and quality. Nine times out of ten I don't get any issues. Size of 'Large' fish often varies.

Dad popped in for some chips to compliment our Chindian we were having. Tom Bells has always been my dad's favourite and he was spot on again. Great chips and would recommend.

Good fish and chips which are freshly cooked. Have used them regularly for church social events - helpful staff and they have always turned up with the meals exactly at the time we need them. Recommended.

Food reasonable service good..big portions..

Excellent fish meal. Great service. Thanks

Got a take away cod and chips on gluten free Wednesday. I normally find fish and chips to greasy but this was really good I think the batter is better than the with gluten. I didn't think it was expensive like many reviewers seem to.

Good service mighty fine fish and chips

Good food and takeaway or restaurant option

Very tasty food cooked to perfection. Staff are very welcoming and make a pleasant atmosphere. Environment is very clean. Take away is separated from dining area so you feel at peace while eating. Presentation is very good. Nothing is too much for the staff here they go the extra mile in customer service. Yummy food.

Walked in, spotted the chicken, spotted the sausages, spotted the chips & my eyes lit up with excitement, what I couldn’t of anticipated was the bald guy serving it licking his fingers and picking at the food as he served it. Best believe we Done a 180 never to return

Greeat chippy! Nothing more to say.....

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips. Owner and staff are lovely people, I have been coming here years . Located in the heart of Edenbridge village.

Really can't go wrong here, lovely fish and chips and fast service from the friendly staff. Have eaten in he before, had a lovely scampi and chips. Great place for takeaway or pop in for lunch. Deals for OAPS which is nice.

We were visiting relatives and then visited Hever Castle. After that, we went into Edenbridge to grab a quick bite. We went into one pub - they didn't offer lunch on Sunday. We went into another - they only offered a 3-course meal. We went into Tom Bell Traditional Fish and Chips and could have whatever we wanted - score! My two teenage kids and I had a wonderful lunch with great service. They were very attentive and the food was good. Thank you for feeding hungry Americans on a Sunday for lunch!

Not bad, bit slow compared to others could be a little less surly but did fill a hole. Not memorable at all.

Incredible arrogant manner. Chips launched at you in cheap polystyrene boxes. Not a fan particularly when it wasn’t cheap. Shall stick with the other chip shop at top of town.

Slow, overpriced and terrible chips.

I’ve been coming to this chippy for years and it is one of the best takeaways in Sevenoaks. Would recommend it.

El pescado y las patatas fritas estaban bien. Lo que me llamo la atención fue el servicio. Eran muy conscientes de mi hijo. Dio un tenedor a él y a la izquierda el cuchillo conmigo mismo. También él primero. Si necesitábamos algo, fueron muy rápidos a cumplir. Muy contentos de ver un buen servicio al cliente.

Disappointed on how expensive this place is for fish and chips. Portion sizes are small as well. Would look at other offerings in the area prior to visiting again.

A hot favourite amongst the locals - the first choice for a fish supper. The Q is long and so be prepared to wait. Good crispy batter and chips - you can't go wrong !!

The chips were hard . the fish was disgusting and the batter was very oily made me feel sick.
