Took my family out to Southend on sea Sunday evening and saw this fish and chip shop, wasn’t initially sure how good they were? when we came in, the Staff were very friendly and polite, We ordered 2 cod and chips, 2 haddock -chips all served, straight out of the fryers, the fish was cooked just right and chips were lovely piping hot, just the way we liked it , prices was very reasonable compared to other neighbouring fish /chip restaurants, will definitely be coming back. will be recommending my friends and families.

Very good and friendly service, delicious fish and chips which we were pleased to learn is all fried and prepared separately to prevent cross contamination. Owner is fantastic and had such a positive bubbly demeanour even when we were the last customers! Will definitely return!

Have eaten here twice in the last 3 days. My daughter is saveloy obsessed (ASD) she said and I quote “this is the best saveloy ever!” We have tried the fish and chips which was also delicious. Curry sauce was thick and tasty. Only thing I would say is we did use the soft play which was a lovely added bonus but too many parents in there not keeping an eye on their children. I would impose it that only parents supervising are allowed to let their children in. Not the staffs fault at all. Great food and great service!! Will definitely go back if in the area.

Really good Fish and chips. The staff were helpful and served us quickly. Fish cooked in separate oil from meat products and suitable for anyone eating halal. Staff were really knowledgeable about this. Definitely recommend this place.

We found the food delicious and well worth the money. We had the the senior citizen meal (10) and the only difference between that and the main menu was your fish was the same size and you got a few less chips and you could have either a hot or cold drink. Our waitress was lovely, very pleasant and very helpful (sorry didn't get your name)

My son loved it here so much he insisted we go back, so we visited twice in one weekend. The soft play was great, such a good idea, but the young ladies who were working on Friday lunchtime where honestly the nicest and friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered anywhere. He wants to come back next year. Food was good, arrived quickly and the toilets were fine. Photo is the kids half eaten fish and chips.
