I don't eat seafood, only had fish once maybe in the past 20 years or more but I wasn't coming to England without eating some fish and chips. I can't compare it with much but it was filling and fairly enjoyable. The man at the counter was very friendly, I liked having a chat with him although he was making some fairly borderline comments about coming home with me. I ate inside on the seats with it on my lap, there were no tables but it was comfortable enough.
Nice fish and chips. Very friendly staff and good service. I will come back again
This is the best shop in Canterbury, not just the size of the chips which are big as they should be, they do not use polystyrene trays that in this time of waste is unbelievable. And the portions are big.
It’s everyones most loved dishe, and quite possibly the greatest coupling of all time. But it’s also one of the hardest to get right. As such, Canterbury'’s finest fried fish is lost in an ocean of greasy mediocrity, and its chips in a sea of sogginess.
But like pearls in oysters, a good chippy does appear once in a while — one where the fish is always fresh, the batter crunchy and the chips fluffy.
Ossies provides high quality and reliable freshness of fish. But while it’s the fat, flaky fillets of moist cod encased in crunchy and chewy batter that earn Ossie the best in Canterbury. From its beach shack interior to the chirpy, chatty service it has the whole deal. You also need to try their range of pickles — choose from eggs, shallots or red onion rings.
Lovely fish and chips. They will give you a bag of chips while you wait. And the staff are talkative
Excellent fish. Well cooked, generous portions and great service.
Always fresh, always delicious, very good food and cheaper than most other chip shops in the area. I have been going here for many years it's good value for money here and the food and service has always been fantastic.
Best fish and chips I have bet had , generous portions and really kind staff !!!!!
Been in here twice now and had a great experience.
The first time, it was about 9:40PM and they were getting ready for closing up. I popped in as I walked past just to see what they had left, so I grabbed the last sausage and a portion of chips.
To prevent food from going to waste, the guy working gave me two sausages, so many chips, and he charged us the same amount.
The second time, I went in at dinner time. I asked for battered sausage and a large portion of chips. The chips had been sat under the heat lamps for a while, and the guy working offered to put a new batch on for me. I told him not to worry and that I don't mind that the chips have been sat there for a while. He sorted my order out: sausage in a bag, chips in the paper. He put so many chips in there, looked at me and asked if that was enough, to which I told him it would do me for a week. Then, because I didn't make him put a brand new batch on as he was about to go on break, he gave me an extra sausage.
I love this place. The food is excellent, and the staff are among the nicest, friendliest people I've encountered. Will be coming in at least weekly.
Food was tasty and the chips where so good crunchy and fluffy inside.
I would really recommend going here if you are near by and hungry. Parking outside is a little difficult though.
