The best restaurants serving Seafood food in South East

The first time here. God knows why because I go past here everyday to and from work! Excellent food: crispy fish with no soggy bottom and beautiful chips. Will definitely go there again!

It’s a family run business. Their fish and chips is good. They are friendly people.

Not impressed by this restaurant. Did not think that the service was very good. The videos robots, whilst a bit quirky it does remove the personal service that makes a difference. We had the serve ourselves the main course and then there was no clean cutlery or pepper and cheese! The main courses were very good so not all bad.

RIDDLE & FIDDLE....with emphasis on the latter ! Strolling through the narrow street along which this restaurant is located we were attracted by its marble table tops and its blackboard promoting the fish of the day. Welcome was friendly and we were seated immediately. The interior was cozy and also featured an open kitchen. From the extensive seafood & fish menu we selected a bream tartare, salt & pepper calamari and black lentil fish curry. Unfortunately there weren't any draught beers available (only some bottled ones or in a can?) so we selected a French white Muscadet wine (surprisingly no local white wines available?). Before the bream tartare being served, without us asking for it, four half slices of bread with two condiments were served, which we thought was a nice gesture. The bream tartare was exquisite and well presented and the salt & pepper calamari and black lentil fish (cod) curry were ok, however it took way too long for these last two dishes being served, something which must have been the result of a timing or priority problem in the kitchen since the restaurant at the time of our visit had only a few tables occupied. At the end when we received the bill we noticed UKP 11,17 was added to the bill under the heading "Service Charge 12,5%" with the following added "12,5% service charge was automatically added.....and a little further "Service charge is discretionary" When we asked the waitress for an explanation for this so called discretionary service charge we were informed this was a government decision?......but that we could opt out???....huh! Normally you leave a % of service charge to the customer and add any relevant % after the customer indicates it (this is definitely a feature option of handheld card readers which we experienced at other dining venues we visited in this region), instead of automatically adding an amount linked to a fixed percentage simply on the assumption that the guest experience deserved this fixed %, and then giving customers the embarrassing option to opt out. We paid the bill and left Returned at our hotel we checked again the bill and noted that a further UKP 4,00 was added under the heading "Cover Charge x 2".....and only after checking the menu again we noticed in the small letters text at the bottom "There is a cover charge of UKP 2,00 per head, which includes freshly baked bread & a selection of condiments" We also noticed that 87p was added to the bill under the heading "StreetSmart" with at the bottom of the bill written "Thank you for helping the homeless with your StreetSmart donation. An automatic 87p donation has been added onto your bill, if you wish to opt out just let one of our staff know :)" Seems at this restaurant customers need to read the complete text of the menu so as to not have any surprises when paying the bill and having to make embarrassing decisions (since who doesn't want to help the homeless, who cares about UKP2 for some bread and butter and who doesn't want the staff to get a decent remuneration for their efforts?) .....obviously not a money issue but a principle issue ! Not really a venue we would recommend, a venue which isn't really offering value for money and in fact an extra charges trap

Food was ready on time, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. More importantly the haddock was delicious and fresh and the chips were perfectly cooked and the medium portion was plenty for 2 people.

Really loved it here. The staff were fun and friendly. The food was amazing, and great value too. In recent years, chains like Prezzo and whatnot seem to be similar prices to places like this but substantially less quality. Really enjoyed it here and already plotting coming back 😎

great service. friendly delivery. thank you 😊

We arrived at Catch and ordered. The staff were run off their feet. It all looked very disorganised, though the staff were very pleasant. There were a lot of people waiting and standing around. Everyone seemed fed up. We waited at least 40 minutes and find that totally unacceptable. I believe they ran out of chips. In the end we had to ask when we would get our order. Surprise, surprise we got it straight away. We took the haddock and chips home. The fish was overcooked and the chips soggy and cold. We will not use Catch again. The whole experience was rubbish. They need more staff and need to produce food more efficiently (investment required).

I've been visiting Sky High Fish Bar since childhood, and it remains a standout. The family-run establishment is always welcoming, offering delicious food with impressive efficiency. It's also very affordable, especially compared to other fish and chip shops in the area. A large cod and chips costs just £10, which is fantastic value. The current staff are lovely and provide excellent service. I highly recommend Sky High Fish Bar.

Absolutely the best, food always fresh and hot, good portions and friendly staff.

Best chip shop in Eastleigh/Fair Oak/Bishopstoke. Food quality is always excellent, everything freshly cooked and the prices are good in comparison to others locally. Always a queue at peak times.

Generous portions and friendly service.

I've had this courier a few times, and each time he has been brilliant. Thank you.

Friendliest chip shop on the island! I support adults with disabilities and the staff are always patient and accommodating! Good sized portions for an affordable price

The best chips in Sittingbourne!
