The chips were so delicious! So reasonably priced and good portions too! Weren’t too sure as I saw the Google reviews first but then I had the chips and the reviews just don’t do them enough justice! There wasn’t not even one bad chip in the bag! Perfect portion size! Sat by the Herne Bay clock tower right opposite the chippy and thoroughly enjoyed my chips so did my hubby!!!

We had cod and chips on Sunday at Dean's plaice and what a treat. Beautifully cooked food, fresh cod, really crispy batter and great chips. The service was excellent and the price was good.

Yummy fish and chips, best in the area although there is always a wait probably because it is so popular... atmosphere is alright if you decide to dine in

Lovely food, brilliant service and the chips were perfectly salted and vinegared, so extra points for that!

Food cooked to perfection (cod, chips and mushy peas) with a hot cup of strong tea (as requested). Polite and efficient staff, clean and tidy eating area, w.c facilities with baby changing area. Will definitely come here again. Prices a little high, but considering the quality of food and staff, it's worth it

Love the food here. I come here all the time when in Herne Bay. You cant miss them as they are opposite the clock tower along the sea front. Food is freshly cooked and good quality fish and sausage for the price.

We had Cod, Chips and Sausage in Batter and it was absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be coming back here!! Loved the food so much that I didn't even get a chance to take a Pic.

Came today for a little walk along the sea front and decided to get some dinner. Decided to eat in so we didn’t have to wrestle with seagulls. Friendly and quick service and the food was absolutely delicious. Nice big portions! I would recommend
