Best fish and chips around, waitress was new and extremely polite, went to other chip and fish places they were very poor in relation.

Nice customer service. Whitebait was good. Fish cake worst ever. Chips are ok. Value priced. Overall maybe a 3.5

My friend and I ordered scampi, chips and sausage here. Since we were catching a bus to Ecclesbourne glen in about twenty minutes and also wanted to buy some food from Macdonald across from this chip shop, so I asked the young chef how long it’s gonna take. He replied me 10 minutes. But when I came back from Mac after 10 minutes, the food was still not ready. I said to him could you hurry up cause we are catching a bus. Then, the young chef started to give me an attitude. When the food was finally ready, he wrapped the food very slackly even didn’t ask do we need salt and vinegar on chips. And threw the food on the counter.Talking about the flavor, I used to work at a chip shop in Bedford, I expected more from a chip shop in Hastings. The chips are good but the sausage is very average, not crispy but limp casing.The owner here (I assume he is) is good, help us chase the food, wearing smile always.

AVOID!!If I could give 0 ☆ I would!!Photo attached of proof of purchase of a sit down meal for a family of 4.We decided to visit here on the last day of our holiday.Awful and rude ownership not only that but I had food poisoning from my cod that evening and had my food at 3.55pm.Everything seemed OK with eating here up until they brought my cod and chips out,looked quite pleasant and decent portion but all was not as it seemed at first sight.I started cutting up my fish a couple of times and took a few mouthfuls and then moved onto another section of my cod to notice that it didn't look quite right inside and the flakes of fish was a slight browny colour and hard to slice through, I spoke to my husband and said I didn't feel comfortable eating anymore as it didn't look right and he agreed to speak to management. When a man came out and was over the top telling me that my fish was fine to eat promising that it was all cooked and as it should be in look and colour and then taking it upon himself to use my knife and cut up my own food in front of me on the table and pointing out that it was all cooked.THIS IS NOT HOW A RESTAURANT SHOULD BE RUN AND I EXPECTED MORE FROM THE MANAGER HIMSELF. YOU JUST DONT DO THAT KIND OF THING!!!, so after he took it upon himself to use my knife to cut my food up I was furthermore put off from eating anything else from my plate.What he should have done is accepted responsibility that I wasn't happy and offered me a new piece of fish or something else from the menu. None of this was done!! Still having to leave with paying full price for a meal I didn't eat all because of the manager.Avoid this so called RESTAURANT!!A very bad experience and totally ruined our holiday which resulted in FOOD POISONING!!

Handy fish and chip restaurant in the centre of Hastings. The food was nice. The service was a bit hit and miss . Kept waiting for ages. One member of staff seemed to be doing everything and the other staff member doing nothing but talking to a friend and her child.

We've just had fish and chips from this place, we ordered large chips which were a kids portion and medium cod which we asked if they could remove the skin and they hadn't. When we phoned up to ask about it, their reply was "what do you want me to do about it". He basically couldn't give us the time of day. Would NOT eat here again as the food wasn't even nice!!

Turned up here with 10 people, one in a wheelchair. This place is very accommodating and thoughtful. The waiter was patient whilst going through each of our orders and was friendly. The food arrived quickly and at roughly the same time. The portions were good and well priced. For anyone with mobility issues, the toilets are up a flight of stairs. Make sure you have the cash because they do not take card.
