The Deep Blue in Canterbury

On the few occasions that I've been there, I've had the feeling that serving customers is an inconvenience to them. Don't expect any smiles or thanks or apologies for being kept waiting.Yesterday, the chips were a bit ropey, and my cod was mashed around the box, as though they had dropped it.I won't be going back.

Really nice place. Pretty much everything i have had from here has been decent. Chip portions are a little small, and sometimes there is quite a wait, but overall excellent.

Great food and very affordable, we have definitely found our new fish and chip place!

I fancied a quite bite to have while I wait for my ride to arrive. Seemed like a good idea at the time, drinks refrigerator nicely located at the entrance and can help yourself. Order taken for the cheesy chips and, luckily they had some from previous batch. The lady even took the chips to a back room then returned with my order, to my surprise. There was a big standard cheese, not even melted as seen on the picture and some of it was still cold and knotted together. The presentation was not there and the taste of, this was worth my money was non existent. I was terribly dissatisfied with everything, so much so that I didn’t even want to give them a star. That’s how much I was annoyed with the service I was given

Small portions. Not a lot for your money. Chips over fried. Too much salt, not much vinegar. Chicken nuggets not very nice, very oily. Restaurant was closed. The best fish n chips to be found is Ozzie's in Sandwich 😋

Not sure how this manages the reviews it gets as I must have gone on an off day. Only came here due to Marino’s being closed and I have to say I was served up the worst portion of chips I’ve ever experienced. What must have been a quick re-fry of last nights leftovers not acceptable. Awful

Lovely service on a Saturday afternoon in Canterbury's "Papa's The Deep Blue" take away 💙 the cod and chips were absolutely delicious 😋and the fish was sooo fresh! I gave 4 stars because the calamari was disappointingly dry, it probably needed 5mins less in the fryer for perfection... Otherwise a very pleasant experience and we will certainly be returning for more 😁

An hour ago I phoned my order to Papa's, drove to Wincheep, picked it up and have now eaten the the best Fish & Chips I've ever had. Great haddock, not over cooked and dry, good thin batter and great chips. Without doubt 5 star. Well done.

We went in here for an evening meal on our visit to Canterbury,it’s not a bad little place could do with a bit of a spruce up.The food was quite enjoyable you certainly got a good portion for your money.The Mrs went to the toilets and said they were not that brilliant,it’s a shame as little things like this let the place down.You can sit in or take away with a good selection on the menu.

Not a bad meal for 2 for less than £20, waitress service in the cosy restaurant with a view of the passers by, including lost acquaintances on Wincheap. However not up to the high standard of previous years. Maybe late lunchtime on a Saturday was not prime frying time.Lovely grilled plaice and haddock.
