Marino's Fish Bar In Kennington

In Ashford, Marino's Fish Bar in Kennington is the kind of place where the scent of frying batter pulls you in from the street. This takeaway champions classic fish and chips with a confident, no-fuss approach that locals clearly appreciate. They've been working the fryers here for a good while, and the steady queue at peak times tells you everything you need to know about their standing in the neighbourhood.

The cod comes wrapped in a light, crisp batter that shatters as you bite through, revealing flaky, white fish underneath. Their chips are proper, chunky things—golden and fluffy within. What really sets Marino's apart, though, is the unexpected Greek twist; they serve souvlaki and gyros alongside the haddock and sausages, all fresh from the grill. It's a smart move that means you can grab a paper-wrapped parcel of salt-and-vinegar chips for one person and a warm pitta stuffed with seasoned meat for another. Order directly through Foodhub for a supper that bridges the Med and the British seaside without leaving Ashford.
