Alan's Fish Bar in Havering

I am afraid to say I think the standard of Alans Has declined recently. After spending £27 on two lots of fish and chips, the fish was quite thin and average tasting. The chips don't seem quite as good either.

I can honestly say that the haddock and chips I had last time I visited was the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked and very tasty fish with batter to die for. Seriously good

Had a chip roll, chips were best ive had in a long time and when in the roll hot made it soft, will definatly go again

Ridiculous that Alan's fish bar is cash only. I don't carry that much money with me for various reasons. I find it easier to pay by card .

The best fish and chips in the area.

Excellent fish and chips delivered fresh. Fast delivery within 10mins of on line order.

Alway freshly cooked rock eel ,

everything has always been amazing since it opened, the people, food, access all amazing. the fish is crispy and tastes great, chips are always nice, burgers are great, sausages and saveloys also great

Just had the best cod and chips in years, first time using Alan’s and will now be my go to place. Not a single hard chip in the portion. Take note Churchills

Its been a little while since a fish n chip shop has tickkled my taste buds. This place has gone above and beyond. Ordered a large fish n chips. The fish was huge, super tasty, crispy on the outside and soft n fluffy on the inside accompanied with the perfectly fried fat chips. Was also surprised to see such an extensive menue. Fish n chips was sooo good im deffo comming back to try the kebabs and burgers. Well done alans fish bar.

Our go-to chippie which never ever disappoints. Great selection of food for a 'fish and chip' shop. Their kebabs (shish and donner) are especially good. The OAP special Small Cod and Chips is fantastic if you are catering for the needs of someone older in the family. Their chips are second to none! Definitely the best chippie for miles.

Food is ok. Overpriced like every fish and chip shop. There pretty nice people working in there tbh. Why on gods green earth would u rate the atmosphere!...lol. its a bloody chippy not a club!...

Always a pleasant welcome and hot fresh delicious food.

Very friendly guys here, and excellent food. Busy at times because of this, but you can ring ahead. Would highly recommend.

The food is always tasty! Never had greasy food. The staff are friendly and helpful. I couldn’t recommend more! Never usually do reviews but these guys deserve it.

Really nice food and generous portion

Correct portions...perfectly cooked...at the right price My fav Skate and chips emmmm

Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere and in my opinion the best chips in Romford!!

Absolutely beautiful cooked fish and generous portions delivered hot and the driver's are always polite and prices reasonable

Poor quality. Ignore the good reviews on here. Been here three times for convenience and wished Id have gone to the far better Chip shop at rise park boulevard. Large portion of chips wasnt enough for 2 people. I dont like places that when you ask for large they think they can still.give you a small portion and you wont know the difference.

Always busy but worth the wait. Chips are of generous portion and we'll priced.

Food used to be lovely here Been there a lot of times Never again food gone really down hill And smaller portions than before Hence only one star

Best fish and chips ever. I live in Kent and always look forward to getting lunch from Alan's when visiting relatives in the area. Just wish I lived nearer, I'd be there every week!

Excellent clean and friendly. Food is fresh and hot.

First time of using Alan's fish bar. I must say it was delicious. Hot and large portion. Will definitely use Alan's again Thank you customer from Taunton Rd.

Poor customer service and attitude. Customers don't get informed that they only take cash when ordering via phone, you will then get advised to go and buy something from Coop and get cash back as theres no local cashpoint. Explained that it would be helpful to give this info on the phone before people make their way there, but have been told that this isn't how they do it and customers are supposed to ask. In laws have been going there for years but won't anymore. Food isn't good enough to excuse such attitude and there's enough competition

Excellent quality and allways good food

Always good food. Friendly efficient staff

Best fish and chips and not expensive like other

Short changed me, phoned up to let them know and was told I wasn’t and should have checked before leaving

Lovely food but like everything it's getting expensive.

Came here as our usual local was closed. Not disappointed at all - delicious fish, great menu variety and perfectly cooked food. Yum!

Ordered cod and chips as we had guests see the flier claiming 40 years experience. Thought would give them a try rude person answered the phone had an attitude it’s customers who pay your wage so buck up and cheer up miserable git. Food took over 2 hours to arrive upon paying it was all old and soggy chips cold nasty fish. BEST COD AND CHIPS IN ESSEX SOMEONE SAID YOU MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK OR IN CRACK. no way is it the best I’d say the worst. Called back to complain only to be told not my problem and phone out down on me. Stay away folks plenty of better chip shops around these guys are con artists and rude. 1 star is the least I can give this shop I’d give MINUS 5 stars. Let’s just say never again tried them wish I never and saved my money.

Top notch food. Delivery service Too. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food at Fantastic prices. Can't fault it. Friendly staff too

First time having fish and chips here. very impressed everything was cooked beautifully. Fish was lovely and fresh.chips were also lovely. Will be using as my regular chippy from now on.

Usual high standards .quick service ,hot food .thanks guys.. Sausage'n'Chips ...

Best fish shop in collier row. A little bit expensive but well worth the money. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Very busy shop especially on Fridays,lovely quality fish and plenty of chips 😍

Good service and excellent fish and chips.

Great food, fairly priced, especially loving the chicken however, collect. My delivery was booked 3 hours in advance and it turned up 1 hour and half late. Not acceptable. (Saturday night)

Regularly use Alan's, not had a bad meal so far! Food is always hot and fresh. Best Cod and Chips for miles! They have a fantastic selection of food, catering for most tastes. Staff are always happy and friendly. It does get busy, especially on a Friday, so if you want an early dinner, get in quickly. They offer a delivery service but at busy times you may have a wait of upto an hour, but it's definitely worth the wait!

Without the best fish and chip shop I've been to in London/Greater London. Food is delicious for a reasonable price. Staff are very friendly too which makes it even better.

Quality, classic chippy. Gets it *all* right. Fast, minimal queueing, quality food. Recommended.

Really nice food but let down by the slow service even in mid week. Doesn’t seem to be any method in serving. Three people came in after me (not telephone orders) but got their food before me ? Do not take card payments either so have to go Tesco next door and get cash back. anyway people must love it as it’s always packed. Wouldn’t even bother on a Friday. 15-20 minutes minimum wait.

Food here is always spot on. One of the best fish and chip shops I've been to.

People are very friendly food good

Five stars just isn't enough for this establishment ! I have been getting our meals from Alan's every week and I'm not even exaggerating to say that the quality of the fish & chips is unreal. Fresh cod every time , along with fresh chips. Being a local , I have done the rounds when it comes to dabbling in the nation's favourite and let me tell you , none of them will ever compare to the quality of Alan's.

Almost closing time but a fresh batch of chips was greatly appreciated

One of the best chippies about the area ... but shuts too early !

First time having fish and chips here. I must say very impressed everything was cooked beautifully. Fish was lovely and fresh. Definitely recommend and will be ordering again 😋

The shop as always is spotlessly clean The staff are always very friendly and the fish is always cooked beautifully.

Easily one of the best chippys in Rise Park

Bought a box of 3 southern fried chicken with chips, really enjoyed it and much cheaper than KFC

First time having the fish and I'm well impressed I light batter and cooked to perfection, lovely chips too also tried the Doner kebab a mixture of beef and lamb gave it the German feel different in taste absolutely wonderfull, a first class takeaway, all served by a group of great guys, cheers fellas. In the words of Arnie "I'll be back"

Always a busy place, sometimes it's good to phone in your order. Always great food and friendly service

Best fish and chips in this area I've ever had wont go anywhere else now

Always good quality fish & chips & great service

Polite & friendly good food good prices. Special deals go often

Me and the family won't go anywhere else been using Alan's since it opened and never had a bad meal, best fish and chips in the area.

Burgers are unreal, so nice. Always enjoy your food so thanks

Lovely food but the wait is long 🕛

Best place to get fish and chips in the area, the food is always tasty, clean and fullfilling.

Excellent best chippy in Romford

Always great food here, chicken shish an absolute winner, service good and good practice of social distancing, would definitely recommend a visit

Perfect reasonable prices and food plus services are excellent

Best fish and chips around.Delicious.

Best hot wings in collier row to be honest its the best chippy round here 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤔

Lunch for 6 on Saturday, 3 chicken shish, 1 Donna kebab and 2 cod and chips, all very good, fresh salad and lovely non oily chips, served by friendly staff.

Good service and good food. Always ready to cook fresh if not ready. They have a selection of different donner meals as well as fish and chips. Gets busy Friday evening.

Good fish, but chips very bitty

Lovely fresh cooked food, great service as always keep it up guys!!!

Lovely food and great service 👍

Great kebabs, burgers and chips. More choice on the menu then any other fish bar! Polite staff, always welcoming!

Very nice fish here and a wide variety of foods,kebabs as well as fish and chip shop. They do a pensioners meal and there is enough variety to please all of us. The staff are friendly too

Best fish and chips for miles around

Nice selection of food kebabs are awsome

Keep away. Conspire against certain customers.

Really great Fish'n'chips, huge portions and reasonable priced. A few parking spots outside but they fill quick Be prepared to wait.. Tho, it's worth it.

Lovely food. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

Great fish and chip shop. It has been very popular since it opened and we are regular clients.

Well priced food and good size portions

Fab, fresh cooked hot food, polite and friendly staff

It's not open till 9. They close early. Sometime 6, 7

Fresh food can’t complain . Level of service was amazing all the workers are so Committed and polite which is a great quality when under pressure.

Can I ask if you are selling lunchtime produce in the early evening you offer a discount. I paid for fresh and got warm and soggy last night. Not nice I did not enjoy my Rock and chips. Such a disappointment. I should have a choice of discount or fresh. Not a happy customer.

They clearly prefer locals.... Waiting waiting waiting. Others coming going... I was waiting waiting waiting.... And same old same old... As everywhere else frozen food! Shish was ok chips was like anymal food... No one asked, helped me except that all was excluded and you end up paying for that stuff with no particular taste or flavour (can you call that food) a lot!

Best fish and chips ever👌Lovely staff too 👍

Best Fish and chips and Kebabs in the town highly recommended..

Had fish & chips from here many times and every time they have been amazing

We use Alan's every week without fail and have done for the last 2 years , and the food is always always Fantastic. I can't rate this place highly enough...........Superb

Whent in and ordered large meat and chips there was 15 chips and 4 stips of meat wont be going again

Really good service, excellent food and helpful and motivated staff, highly recommend

Chips are always lovely, not greasy, and large portions for your money, as is the fish. Chicken shish is really good, salad is always fresh. Always very clean in there. Always a queue, very popular. Staff are great too.

Excellent food, best chippy for miles.

Some of the best fish and chips I've had.

Staff are very rude started swearing and shouting because they got order wrong and put ketchup over my kebab meet instead of chips don't go here!!
