I always went to this place for fish and chip, it was very nice, but last time I ordered deep fried fish as usual, they made me grill fish, they do apologise but not re-make me deep fired one, I was forced to take what I didn't order... Worst is such grill fish came very late and overcooked, and they charged me higher price than deep fried one... I don't know whether they play such tricks to others, it's obviously no one would come to a fish and chips shop to order grill fish which in much higher price! They are not the only fish and chip shop in this area, they are shortsighted and lose a very loyal customer because of tricks!

Stone cold because the delivery person wanted a code that I couldn’t give him because the app froze! We spent 10minutes arguing that I couldn’t give him the code number, we threw the meal away and won’t be using Just Eat again! This has no reflection on the restaurant at all. The problem was completely caused by the delivery person.

By far the best fish and chips shop I’ve been too in a long while and the cod is cooked to perfection and it’s very meaty and flakey. Literally £15 for fish and chips and it’s a great value for money. Honestly, you got to try and I recommend eating this in the shop. It’s not worth getting a takeaway because it’s that good. Very friendly and well looked after.

I recently visited this place and was very impressed. The fish was perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter, and the chips were thick and fluffy. The portion sizes were generous and great value for money. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. I would like to make a special mention to Martina, the waitress, she was very nice and welcoming, and her service was a 10/10. I highly recommend this shop for a delicious, authentic fish and chips experience

Mixed grill of seafood recommended, make sure you are hungry first, as it's a lot of well prepared/presented (large) fish. I had the salad rather than chips and that was a good choice.. The vanilla ice cream is also made with vanilla pods. The bar is licensed so a bottle of pino goes down well with all this...

Purchased fried cod and chips and also grilled cod and chips. Both were dishes were absolutely horrible! The grilled cod was hardly grilled and was very mushy with no taste at all. The fired fish was also mushy and again had absolutely no taste at all. I never thouhht that you could get chips so wrong but the chips were also rehaleated and not cooked fresh as they tastesld like reheated cardboard.I could tell that the fish was not fresh and ended up throwing away 3 meals totalling over £30. 0 stars would be too kind a rating for this place.

Always highly rated Wickham Bay, and recommended it to friends. Ordered cod & chips last Friday and was quite disappointed. The fish had a slight smell of omonia which tells me the fish was on the turn I have always had really lovely fish from here, but this experience has put me off using Wickham Bay in future. I don't know whether the shop had changed hands , I didn't see any of the staff that usually work in the shop and normally you have to wait for it to be cooked but it was already in the hot plate. Will go back to buying from the Big Catch in Beckenham which is always very, very good.

We went to this restaurant on a whim as we were meeting friends locally a little later. It was clearly very popular for take away and the orders were flying out of the door but we had a lovely meal and were made to feel very welcome as we arrived. We both had the very generous avocado and prawn cocktail which was delicious (king prawns!). My husband had the scampi tails and I had the grilled salmon. Both were cooked perfectly (I judge how good a restaurant is by how the salmon is cooked in fish restaurants as it’s so easy to overdo it). The garlic and lemon sauce was perfect with the salmon and the accompanying salad was delicious. Our server could not have been more helpful and we really enjoyed the meal. If we are in the area again we will definitely be back.

Nothing really beats a great fish and chips on a cold evening. So it's nothing short of spectacular when you find such great food right on your proverbial doorstep. The owner is a local, and takes pride in the fact. The shop offers great food from a competitive menu and great prices. Recently they added fresh pies to the menu. These can be seen at the front where you usually place your order. Cannot go wrong when eating here. You'll be fed well and treated great.

Best I've had, and I've had fish and chips in Scotland, Ireland and all over England. Nothing as good as this place. The batter is unbelievable, so light, clean and delicious. I ordered the seafood platter, against my girlfriend's wishes, as she didn't think it would be enough food for us, and it was the perfect amount. The chips were perfectly cooked, a little crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Service was lovely. Absolutely love the décor of this place. The tiles on the tables. The brick walls. The flooring. I will return for more.

We ate in here, midweek for dinner. We were originally heading to Pizza Express but changed our minds as we walked past. We ordered Cod & Chips and I had the seafood platter, which I underestimated as it was huge! The selection of fish on the platter was great, but definitely suited to share over 2 smaller eaters. I took so enough for another meal home! The seafood platter consisting of battered and un-battered calamari, cod bites, prawns, scampi and a few other bits. We ordered chips, curry sauce etc. All were lovely and tasted great. Food took a little while to arrive, which we liked as we knew it was being cooked fresh! 2 drinks, 2 mains and the sides (chips, curry sauce) etc all came to just over £30 which we thought was reasonable.

I went to Wickham Bay and ordered Chicken and Mushroom pie and Cod. The fish tasted very nice and fresh but the pie was not nice. It tasted a little off, would not recommend. Although, our kind server took it back and we was not charged for it. We ordered another cod instead. Unfortunately they were out of mash so we ordered chips with our cod. The chips were alright, quite tasty. We also ordered curry sauce and tartar sauce. The curry sauce was alright and the tartar sauce was nice and creamy. The service was quite good. Would definitely recommend you visit Wickham Bay, kids loved it!

A lovely local restaurant for fish and more. They are attentive to food allergy issues. Thank you! Unfortunately, this restaurant no longer is as attentive to food allergies and intolerances. After eating there frequently for a couple of years (almost on a weekly basis) the same meal, something has changed that affects me significantly. The worst part is when there is unwillingness to accept responsibility and investigate the reasons for the effect leaving me no option but to stop eating at the restaurant.
