The Yellow Fisherman

About

The Yellow Fisherman is a fish and chip shop on Maidstone Road, TN26 1AP, and despite the Ashford postal address it is not in the town at all: the Food Standards Agency records it at Westwell, out at Tutt Hill on the old A20 towards Charing, and listings give the building as Tutt Hill House, near the Ram Lane junction. It is afternoon and evening only. The listings that carry its hours agree on a 9.45pm close every night and disagree on the opening: 1pm on Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday, 2pm on Monday and Friday, and 4pm on Sunday is the version most of them run. It fries the standard chip shop list, cod and chips, fishcakes and battered chocolate bars, and the menu widens out into kebabs, burgers, wraps and pizza boxes, which is common for a roadside shop covering a whole evening trade on its own. Ordering is online through its own site at theyellowfisherman.com, which runs on the FoodCiti platform, and through Uber Eats and Just Eat; the theyellowfisherman.co.uk address that some listings still print no longer resolves at all, so it is the .com you want. Two different phone numbers are in circulation for it, 01233 712309 and 01233 713922, so if one does not answer, try the other. It holds a food hygiene rating of 4 out of 5, "Good", from an inspection by Ashford Borough Council on 25 March 2026, one of the more recent inspections in the borough; the individual component scores were not published for this one.
