Great fish and chips takeaway and restaurant just outside Braintree centre. We sat in and the restaurant was simple but charming, traditional, and spotlessly clean. I always think it's a sign of a good chippy when you have plenty of elderly couples dining in. The food was very good with decent portions at a reasonable price. Fish batter was crisp, but not thick, and the chips were up there with the best. They also had cream soda which is a bonus, and a selection of wines which was surprising but welcomed. Service was decent. Highly recommend.

I'm working in the area and found this place. So far, I've had rock and chips ,and the ribs with barbecue sauce and chips, I highly recommend giving them a try, all the staff are very welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and freshly cooked, the restaurant is very clean and tidy, from what I could see nothing is to bigger deal for them, 10/10 to all the staff for all the hard work they put in to such a lovely restaurant/ takeaway.

After coming a few times to take away a portion of chips, we came here to eat in. The guy who served us was so polite and friendly, really helped us make our experience comfortable (we had a baby with us as well) and the food was incredible. For the price I really wasn’t expecting how good it was. The kebab meat was delicious and the cod was battered beautifully. Wait times weren’t too bad either, enough for us to get comfortable but not too long to complain about. Will be coming back.

The fish was beautiful cooked nice and fresh but the batter wow… nice and crispy just the way I like it, the chips were probably some of the best I’ve ever had! All the staff were super helpful
