Just enjoyed the best Fish & Chips I’ve savoured in a good long while. Service is very friendly; called me Sir; the food was cooked to order; the fish was succulent on the inside and super crispy outside; chips were perfectly cooked. 👌🏽 Can’t rate the experience high enough! Treat yourself; you’ll be glad you did! ✌🏽🙏🏾

Popped by for lunch with my parents who recommended the place on a previous visit. Super friendly guys and excellent food. Good value, decent portion sizes and really great quality fish. Will definitely go back when I'm next in the area. There are a couple if tables outside but there are also benches by the water which is a nice place to eat.

One of the best chippys around. Tiny bit pricey compared to more local places to me, but given the location and quality and portions of food I'm not surprised and it's well worth it. Lovely staff as well!

I heard about this chip shop by Mickey Clarke on his wake up to money show. As I had only ever driven through Sandwich I thought I would make a day of visiting the town and using this chippy in the evening.
So I was aware that the chippy was there. It does not make itself obvious. The shop is along the quayside with ample parking. There are public toilets opposite the shop but they seem to have early closing times.
The shop is small with a low ceiling but surprisingly I saw a sign for upstairs seating but I did not venture up the stairs. Prices were reasonable, I expected higher prices because of the tourists visiting. The fish is presented in a box which was a plus. The fish size was OK but the quality was outstanding. The batter is beautiful, crispy yet melts in your mouth. Not too greasy. The fish is served with skin which some may dislike. The chips I loved dry and crispy. They do not serve gravy. The curry sauce is good. I was sceptical that this chippy would not be as good as Peters in Gillingham, but it has superseded it. This is my best chippy in Kent.Popped here why staying near Ash and I must say I am glad we did. The fish was lovely and large, even though we ordered the medium and chips were pretty awesome too. Only real issue is that parking can be a little tricky, but if you go late enough, then there are no restrictions on the single yellow line outside.

Having parents who owned a fish shop, i have quite high standards when it comes to fish and chips! The food was amazing, cooked fresh to order and large portions. I sat outside and enjoyed it whilst watching the ducks! The owner and his son were very friendly, professional and welcoming. I've already recommended it to friends and family and will be returning next time I'm in the area.

Honestly one of the best chip shops around. I frequently visit Sandwich and this petit takeaway is always on the must do list. Never once have I been disappointed with my order. The chips are ALWAYS golden and cooked to perfection. Served in a box, your order may appear decietfully small but I promise there's plenty and it will hit the spot! Prices aren't the cheaper but it's Sandwich Quayside so they are what you should expect in all honesty. Its a busy little shop, but somehow they always manage to stay on top of their orders. Very highly recommended.
- Special suggestion for a nice day: head to the Drill hall - order the fines pizza in the land, fetch a portion of golden chips from Papa's, return to collect your pizza, then take your order to the Quayside or the park up the way and enjoy the perfect alfresco combination!Great chippy in the center, good prices, ginormous portions.

Great chippy in the center, good prices, ginormous portions. Sadly there are scant sandwiches scattered in Sandwich, but the proactive visitor can make a DIY one here. Ask for an extra bun (bread roll), along with fish and chips (haddock is a great option, the large portion is enough for 2), a side of mushy peas, tartar and ketchup. Break off some fish, layer it with chips, criss-cross with ketchup and tartar sauce. Slather the mushy peas on both sides of the bun. For some extra zhuzh, add a fishcake. Why not? You're in Sandwich, baby! Enjoy yourself the best cheapest and tastiest sandwich in Sandwich. I call it the Papa Tom Sandwich. You're welcome.- Service
