A much-loved destination in Margate, Peter’s Fish Factory is a proudly family-run business, with Peter working alongside his son and grandson to serve what they – and many locals and visitors
– call the best fish and chips in Kent. Located near the Turner Contemporary and over the road from the Margate steps, the shop regularly draws queues down the street, come rain or shine.
Peter first opened the doors to Peter’s Fish Factory in 1984, having worked his way up from fryer to operations controller for a national chain before deciding to go it alone. For over 40 years, Peter
has been at the helm of the family-run business, now joined by his son and grandson. “I found something I loved doing in 1967 and that has not changed,” says Peter. “I think people appreciate tradition and quality – and that is what we’ll continue to offer,
no matter what changes around us.”
It’s this story of local legacy, family dedication and a loyal following that makes Peter’s a natural partner for Fortnum’s.
Antonio Zoccola, Fresh, Deli and Bakery Buyer at Fortnum & Mason, said: “We’re thrilled to be collaborating with a
local gem like Peter’s Fish Factory. It’s the perfect seaside spot to showcase Fortnum’s flair for flavour – pairing our best ingredients and condiments with its iconic fish and chips.”
