Deep Blue (Maidstone Union Street)

Although it has changed names a few times, this place has been around since before I can even remember. I’ve been coming here ever since I was a young boy (almost 3 decades) and the quality has NEVER failed. I had the large cod and chips, and my sister (vegetarian) had the ‘cheese fry it’ which is sort of a cheese hash brown deep fried. The food is always freshly cooked, the fish is always nice and crispy whilst staying succulent and moist inside, and the chips are absolutely GODLY. My sister loves the ‘fry its’, apparently the best choice for the veggies among us. This is by far the best chippy in Kent, and definitely the best I’ve ever experienced. In terms of seating, it’s quite a petite place so you may have trouble getting a seat if you come at peak lunch hours, but I’ve never actually had a problem as I believe they also have an upstairs section.
The prices are very reasonable considering the superior quality and good portions, and the service is friendly and very quick. We only waited about 6-7 minutes for the food to arrive which was perfect.

If you’re going to Maidstone and you love a good chippy lunch/tea, there’s no excuse- get down to the Deep Blue!

Excellent restaurant! They serve fast, it's cheap and delicious! Great experience!

The deep fried pigs and blankets (with gravy) was a brilliant twist on a festive treat. Very moreish. The fish, chips and pies were as excellent as always. Best chips in town!
Great service from Stephen and Robin. Excellent meal.

So nice to have these guys back open, I loved my visit. Smiling team and fresh lovely food!

Loving that we can go upstairs again nice and toasty.

Delivery on time, food tasty but definitely some sanitary issues there!! There was a fried bug in my chips!! This is simply unacceptable and disgusting, thus I won't be ordering from there again. Maybe I should report it further?

When we entered the premises we were greeted with a warm welcome by Steven and a very nice cashier lady (whose name I didn’t get). We ate in, and got 2 large cods, chips and battered pigs in blanket with gravy.
It was the best food that I have ever had and would highly recommend to anyone. They also do takeaways.

Great fish and chips - not the cheapest, but they say quality comes at a price. My father and his partner treated me to plaice,chips and mushy peas - and it was delicious ! Service was reasonably quick and the wait gave us a chance to chat with our cups of tea while we eagerly waited. I have fond memories of being brought here as a child by my mother when it was called The Seven Seas, the "oldy worldy" feel is still present - just lovely !

Was welcome in by a young man called Stephen and a lady at till . Was given fantastic service and offered a great deal on pigs in blanket in batter. Was best fish abd chips ever and service excellent.
