Very good chips and batter on the fish. Curry sauce not the best. Seems a bit unorganised and you end up waiting longer than needed if they didn’t mix orders up. It is a very good fish and chip shop, however the wait is just a bit annoying.

Very nice and i enjoyed it and my family too thank you and will come back

The chips were absolutely delicious. By far the best in the area. We have been going to another chip shop in Epping for years however the chips here far exceeded expectations. And the staff were very courteous and friendly. Top notch.

Lovely food and great service. My order was very nice and was pretty quick too. Everything in my order was cooked fresh so it was nice and hot! The staff are very nice and up for a laugh and joke. The price is not too bad, maybe a slight bit high but I would go back if I was in the area 100%!

Quite pricey, but really good fish and chips. Worth the extra couple of pounds rather than settling for mediocre.

Best fish and chips in the Epping and Loughton area. Batter light and tasty great chips and friendly service

Great tasting food, very helpful staff and amazing value for the portion sizes
