V.C. JONES of Whitstable
Fish Restaurant & Takeaway
Serving since 1962
Three generations of our family have been serving freshly cooked fish and chips to the residents and visitors of Whitstable since 1962.
As one of the last fish and chip shops left in the south of England to fry in beef dripping, we are proud to maintain traditional pre-war traditions.
Our counter and restaurant are open and we are operating a contact-free delivery service.
We ask our customers to respect our queuing system and to wear facemasks wherever possible.
To order a delivery just give our friendly team a ring, pay over the phone, we'll drop your freshly cooked fish and chips to you.
Call us on 01227 272703 or 07907 037999

It’s time for us to recharge our batteries ready for a busy 2023, so we will be closed for the next 3 weeks, reopening on Tuesday 31st January.
As ever, thank you to all of our customers for your support over the last 12 months (and any streaming suggestions are welcomed).
Wishing all of our customers a merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Here are our opening hours for the festive period.
We are incredibly worried and please share this wide and far.
This person parked on our property nearly 24 hours ago and hasn’t returned to her vehicle or her property within it.
While it’s put our business out, we’re more worried that she is ok as she has no coat and her bag is in her car.
We just want to know she’s ok.

A world beater ☺️
Thank you @timeoutlondon

Someone found this ring on the beach and bought it into the shop so we could post it out on social media.
It has an interesting inscription, we’ll show the start of it. If it’s yours it’s safe and sound on our take away counter. #whitstable #whitstablebeach
Even on a normal day it gets pretty hot behind our fryers and in the shop.
So, we’ve decided that as the mercury looks to hit 40c (and that’s before we’ve even started frying) we’ll be closed tomorrow.
We’ll be reopening on Wednesday.
Over the years, customers have asked about merchandise.
After 60 years, we’ve finally relented.
What better way to remember your favourite fish and chip shop than with a multifunctional fridge magnet 😉
Tote bags, mugs, and t-shirts will also be available.
The first batch of #pollockstoputin badges have sold out and the business is delighted to have been able to make a donation for £191.39 to @unrefugeesuk
We’ve put in another order of badges, so they should be arriving soon.
Thank you to all our customers who have picked up a badge and popped some money in the pot. £150 can provide the legal services that refugees need to represent themselves as they navigate their life in a new country.
£80 can provide emergency relief items like shelter and bedding.
Incoming!!

Happy National Fish and Chip Shop Day.
Look at these beauties, fresh out of the fryer.
It’s an odd time for chippies around the country, prices and costs are going through the roof.
Wherever you are in the country, pop into your local chip shop and treat yourself to a lovely bag of chips.

We couldn’t help but notice that our pollock sometimes fries in the shape of a two fingered salute.
If you’re lucky you may find that your meal says #pollockstoputin too.
Pollock (caught in Alaska and Europe) and chips are £7.45 on our takeaway.
