City Fish - Canterbury

If this is the best fish and chips in town thank goodness I didn't try the others. Surly unhelpful man served me. The batter was stodgy and the chips were greasy and unpalatable. Avoid

Has the City Fish Bar changed Management? For many years when we have a shopping trip to Canterbury we usually finish off with a really good Fish n Chips from the City Fish Bar, as good as any of the best Chippy's in Kent. Until yesterday that is, when it was the worst we have ever had from there! Gone was the lovely thin crispy light batter and golden crispy chips and what we got was two very small portions of soggy chips and two small pieces of Haddock covered in a think soggy gloopy batter! And at nearly £12 each this must now be one of if not the most expensive Fish n Chippy's anywhere in the UK.... Add a few small sachets of ketchup and you are looking at nearly £25 for two.... We can get a good main meal for two in our local for that. So I guess that's what we will be doing in future.... Such a Shame...

Overpriced. Only take cash! Staff doing you a favour serving you. Food mediocre at best. Small chips is really small and if you have a sausage as well, this gets wedged into cone so you get even less chips. Probably the worst chippy i've ever been to.

Horribly overpriced for poor quality food. The price was already pretty high on the menu so I had thought about leaving and going elsewhere, but I was very hungry already. Then he charged me an even higher price than what it said on the menu. I don't know if he thought that I was a tourist and it was ok to rip me off or something. I'm not the type to stand there and get into an argument with people, so after paying a ridiculous amount, I ate the hugely disappointing food. The chips were terrible. They were really hard and overcooked. I probably should have thrown it away as I felt quite sick afterwards, but I had been upset about the thought of wasting the money. With the cost of living these day, I don't treat myself to takeaway food very often. I know there are much better fish and chip shops in Canterbury, so I would recommend going to any other one. This just seems like a place designed to rip off tourists due to its central location.

Nice fish and chips, well cooked….however extremely small portion at high prices. Small portion of cod and chips for 3 persons cost £33.00 !! BUT then he had the audacity to charge another £3.50 for the tiniest bottle of water….when queried he said he also charged for the sauce…which was the smallest pot of cheap tomato sauce. Embarrassed at being caught out he offered us more tomato sauce but one of our group had ordered mayonnaise. He then gave us sachets of the cheapest mayonnaise not the Hellman’s behind the counter. Spoilt the visit by such overpricing. To rip off the tourists eh? Well my friends are local and they won’t be back!
