I moved to Canterbury a few years ago and my first meal was from this Chip Shop - back then it was great.The year that has gone, the place has got worse and worse. The staff are friendly but the guy cooking and serving could be a bit better hygiene wise but I am happy to ignore that part.The food the latest visits is clearly cooked earlier and chips are sitting keeping warm, this might seem an unfair gripe but chips lose consistency and become soft when not fresh (its only chips that I think sit keeping warm - other things are cooked fresh like battered fish and sausage and these fresh foods in my opinion are tasty).Overall I think and this is a guess, they are cost cutting (which is understandable to keep cost down), but it has been at the expense of a good meal. I had 3 bad meals the last times I visited so I won't be visiting again.

Best chip shop in Canterbury. Uses paper so no polystyrene waste as other chip shops in Canterbury are creating. Very good portions. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.Wheelchair accessibility: Door is wide enough to access with a wheel chair

I have tried this Chippy periodically over the years because it is close to where I live and every time I am always disappointed with the chips. They are like cardboard and the worst chips ever. Always reheated and tasteless. This will be the last time and will take the extra journey to herne bay cos the chip shops are far better

We we're staying in Canterbury for holiday and one evening we stopped, grabbed some Fish n Chips and Chicken to take home. The crew working were very nice and even let us try a couple of things we had never heard of. Food didn't take very long to get. Nothing was bad, it's was a good, straightforward meal. Was a bit greasy, that's was to be expected since it was a bag of fried food. Just didn't find it to have much taste or flavor. Just everything coated in a bland flour and quickly fried. They gave pretty good-sized portions, so we felt we got our money's worth. For a quick meal, Ossies will meet your needs, but if you are looking for something more flavorful, you might want to look for an alternative.
