Good local chippy. Service takes time but generally quite fast, they never have more than 5 servings of breaded mushroom.

Cheese on the chips was definitely not in date. It was repulsive. My partner even agreed it did not taste right and was physically sick

Ordered Medium Chips, Medium chips and Two chicken pieces.I went here because of a trip advisor review that called this the 'best fried chicken in Colchester'. I AGREE!!! the chicken was so crispy and Juicy, nothing, NO FAST FOOD FRIED CHICKEN IN THE UK COMES CLOSE. the flavour is throughout the chicken, BIG sizes that filled me, but immediately got me craving more. I can't recommend more.The fish and chips were great too, flaky and crispy fish that had the skin on and added to the crispiness. MY new fav fish and chips place.That chicken is something else!

Really lovely fish and chips! All cooked fresh to order. Chips were the best I’ve had in ages and my husband could barely finish his large cod!

Lovely fish and chips, friendly service and competitive prices.

I called in on my way home from work. There’s a free car park near the community centre. You can eat on the premises or take out. I really enjoyed my meal and the staff were very pleasant and I shall definitely call in again.

I'm a big fan of fish and chips and scampi is definitely my favourite- especially with curry sauce! And this chippy delivers!! Really yummy scampis, everything is freshly cooked, and served by friendly staff. Highly recommended :)

Used to be good but since Steve is not cooking it’s horrible chips taste weird and are very soft , the fish batter is always under cooked would not recommend .not Like it was .

Probably the best fish and chips shop in town in terms of quality of food.Slightly spartan eating area, but you can eat in for no extra cost.Chip portions are slightly smaller than some other places, but they are also slightly cheaper. Generally I find that a meal here will be competitively priced.Staff are friendly.Not sure the opening hours listed on Google are correct: I am not sure whether the shop is open non-stop or if it closes at some point in the afternoon - will check on my next visit.
