Anchor Fish and Chips in Epping Forest

It's great fish and chips place

Quite possibly the best fish and chips shop in Chipping Ongar, the chips have always been fresh and hot whenever I have been, and the fish and chicken have been constantly good too. Very good staff as well.

Very good sausage and chips and chicken and chips Very nice people and very nice food

In the heart of a beautiful town this amazing chip shop

Takes way too long to get an order, sometimes waiting up to 30 minutes

We shared a large fish and chips, mushy peas and a veggie burger between 4 of us. Should have got more chips. Peas were delicious! Small pot but really tasty. Veggie burger was OK. But everything else was really good 👍

Fish & chips is fresh and great quality.

Great food, staff, quantity, and value for money.

Takeaway, very nice. Love their cod bites, chips are decent and staff are really nice. Never have to wait too long either which is a bonus

Always good quality fish and chips.

Very nice food, really enjoyed it. The people who work there are kind, friendly and helpful. And they do proper pukka chips… yum

Great genuine southern fried chicken (halal as well). The chips have been made the traditional chipshop way without cutting corners. The cod bites were moist fresh and absolutely delicious! 5* for the foods mentioned above!

This Fish and Chip shop is the business. Food is cooked fresh. Can also order over the phone to place an order and get a ticket number. I am a regular visitor every two weeks

Smothered my chips with vinegar without asking, then said they asked but I was on the phone. So rude and refused to swap the chips….I hate vinegar! Will not be going back fish cake was also hard and overcooked.

Friendly smiley faces. Best fish and chips in Essex.

Excellent chips great value good size portion highly recommend

Terrible customer service Their popularity seems to give them licence to be rude and arrogant to customers who raise concerns

Do not bother to order by telephone in advance! If you do you will sit behind anybody who has walked in off the street. You are given an order number that is meaningless. Your money is taken immediately and the staff are rude and arrogant if questioned about their policy. Giving orders taken AFTER yours precedence An absolute joke and rude to boot! Shocking customer service

Man cooking was a bit abrupt. The fish cake didn’t taste of fish and the sausage in batter was horrible and greasy. Threw them away!

Southern fried chicken is the best!

Very friendly, helpful staff, quickly put the order together. Food was lovely and hot.

Food was good. Place was very clean. I was pleased to see staff regularly washing their hands!

Staff is great, food is great, everything is great. 10/10 recommend. Me and my friends go here 24/7!

This place has the most AMAZING chips and anything that goes with those chips. I love Haddock and it is always cooked beautifully here - they also do everything else you expect from your chippy, including some very good burgers, and grilled/fried chicken. Whenever I am in the area this is one treat I can't help but let myself have! The staff are lovely too!!! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent chip shop shame I don't live closer but I would drive the 20 mins to eat there fish and chips

Service good, food great, parking very difficult. Suggest parking up somewhere and have a walk.

Best chip shop in Ongar. A proper chip shop! Chips are lovely! Friendly service too.

Chips were horrible please improve

40 minutes wait for a cod&chips what a joke

Has to be one of the best fish and chip shops, fish always lovely and moist, chips are outstanding. Also, the pork ribs are a must they are big and succulent with a great bbq sauce. Probably the best ribs I have eaten in Essex. Strongly recommend Anchor in Ongar. Keep up the good work guy’s

This is a take-a-way fish and chip shop. The food is wonderful with fast and efficient service at a reasonable price.

Love the fish and chips best in ongar

Great place for a takeaway my recommendation is get the chicken 🐔 mmmm

Very good place Very kind owner ! Love him

Best chippy with a wide selection of choices on the menu. A great treat!

The best Fish and Chips for miles. Always polite, happy to cook anything freshly if you are prepared to wait. A real treat every now and again!

Tonight my wife and I bought cod and chios twice at a cost of £17. Tmmfish was very dry and the chips were of a poor quality, with black pieces in them. We are not going use them again

Big portions, delicious freshly cooked fish, and the best chips I've had in a long time. Staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend.

Just had cod and chips x2 Amazing piece of fish. Portions were enormous. Would definately recommend this fish shop

Very lovely fish and chips . Great friendly service . Very clean . Always helpful. Best fish and chips by far

Always consistent with quality great chip shop

We live in Brentwood and drive to the Anchor as by far the best fish and chip around

Great service friendly staff & management Good quality Fish & 🍟

Very nice people offering really good quality fish and chips. And they open on a Sunday too which is a result.

A bit expensive but that being said you can't knock the portions and quality! They do some great non-fish dishes and I can highly recommend the ribs, hot wings and the burger. Staff always friendly and service is good considering the demand!

Really solid fish and chippy. Perfectly prepared fast and friendly.

Very hot meal . Tasty fried chicken. Thank you

Great fish but given the wrong order. Really need a better system

Food was great,highly reccommend

Great Fish and Chips, always fresh, lots to choose from

So decided to get a takeaway from here as wanted something quick. Have eaten from here before and been ok never great. But last night we got a takeaway I had a burger which was fine but smothered in burger sauce which ruined it as I didn’t ask for that. My OH got chicken and ribs and ate it fine but a short while after was literally running back and fourth to the toilet as he couldn’t stop being sick and also had a stomach ache! He didn’t eat anything else that day which could of made him ill so must have been this - I won’t usually write a review but I’m this case I felt I had to it was just awful! & we will never get food from here again!

Best fish and chips in Essex! Fish is always perfect and the chips are spot on. They have really come into their own through lock down refusing to shut. Hat off to you guys

Firstly they got my order wrong and then when I went back to get it corrected, they had an attitude about telling me I was wrong. I then found THREE bodily hairs in my chips, I refused to eat them, wasted £5 and a trip! Invest in some sleeves/gloves. Won’t be visiting again.

Great food at reasonable prices.

Very nice staff, Very nice food ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nicest fish& chips around,definitely recommend

Lovely hot freshly cooked fish.

Great selection available, Fish is excellent, not all batter and best of all Chips that are well cooked and crispy. Will be back. Recommended.

This is the best fish shop in Ongar. The fish is always freshly cooked. Very friendly staff.They will take orders on the phone so it is ready for you when you arrive.

Food is good but parking is a problem and causes a snarl up in the High Street for locals. Favourite dish is scampi and chips.

Great fish and chips well cooked and fresh

Generous portions, freshly cooked fish when ordered, very efficient friendly service. Deserves local support.

These guys are quite good, but they do get rather busy at times. Parking is at a premium unless its quite late, then you can often park outside for a short time. We phones ahead the other day, but it didn't really help as they still prepared the food on arrival. It was a good job they did, as the phone call seemed to cause more confusion than help. They worked it out in the end, will no doubt use again when local.

I found they were a little expensive for a sausage in batter and chips it came to £5, also you have to wait quiet a while for your food. The parking is very in safe as it is right next to the bottle neck in Ongar

best fish shop in ongar very clean and the price is reasonable with a great choice from fish to burgers

It's the best in the area for sure... sometimes boss man is unhappy and looks misrebLe. .sometimes. but he's a good man..and he looks after everyone of he's customers I wouldn't go anywhere else that's for sure ...

Best place in the area to get fish & chips - great food, lovely people & warm friendly service. We travel miles to get our fish & chips from there - you really must try it😆

Phoned in our usual order, haddock and chips. Told 15 minutes wait, on arrival the cointer staff had just finished frying the fish so we knew it would be hot and tasty. This is the best fish and chip shop by far.

Good food, friendly efficient service.

This is still the best fish and chip takeaway in our area.Cooked to order, large haddock and chips for the price they charge can't be beaten and if you phone your order through, it's ready to collect within 10 minutes.Only real problem is parking as the road is very busy.

Once again, the Anchor Fish and Chip shop in Ongar served up a delicious, freshly cooked battered cod and excellent chips – enough for three meals and I have a big appetite!At £8.50 the cost was reasonable too making this an excellent value for money meal as the queue out of the door testifies.Even with four staff working they couldn’t keep up with demand from customers at 9pm on a Friday evening but only one person in the queue was complaining – a lad about 10-years-old who kept asking when his fish cake would be ready because he really liked fish cakes from here. Now that’s a great recommendation.

The fish and chips from this shop are superb, the people that work behind the counter are very friendły This is the best chippy around this area

Best fish and chips in the area. Always tastes fresh and staff friendly!

I travel from North weald to get best fish and chips in area Shame we can't pick this business up and replace the poor quality fish and chip shop we have in North weald

This is the only place to go in Ongar for takeaway fish and chips. All freshly cooked and served by a very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We just had food from there I'm a chef and I would never serve up what we just got from there and keep my job hard chips refryed dry fish and the curry sauce was more sauce than curry won't be going back there again we shall drive into north Weald from now on

I popped in today to pick up our usual Haddock and Chips, I'd ordered these by phone some 10 minutes earlier. The very friendly chef was already wrapping up HUGE portions of delicious piping hot fish and chips for me to take home.

Just finished work, so hungry, no where is open. The opening times sign stated they closed 10 minutes ago but the lights are still on as the workers are cleaning up the shop. Decided to try our luck anyway and the lovely worker behind the counter was understanding and served us. What a selfless and extremely kind thing to do, much appreciated. Thankyou.

Good food good prices. I'm not sure if they changed owners last year but the service and quality has remained by far the best I ongar.

Always good. Parking is a problem though!

Very good would recommend Top quality food and friendly service Always been very good with good customer service

Lovely fish and chips experience

Food is always cooked well , shop is always clean

Avoid! Just eaten half my chips then to find a fried fly in my food! Wanted to vomit!

Fast service, fish bit a bit soggy, chips average. Busy Friday night.

As our local Fish & Chip shop, I was amazed to find no listing on Trip Advisor recommending the top quality fish and chips, presented in good quality batter, served by friendly staff in a very clean and tidy Take Away.

Don't eat there the staff are very rude and aggressive save your money and eat else where. Very poor customer services and so rude I can't believe the way they talk to their customers.

Good service, phone order ready on the button. One of Best in Essex!!!

The best fish and chip shop for miles,the staff are allways pleased to help you with any order and the fish and chips are allways fresh lovely shop

Great service. Decent chips;-)

Food is fantastic, great quality of service and food. I Enjoy the cod bites or stick to good old fish'n'chips. Parking can be awkward. Best chip shop for miles

Food good, service good and best chip shop for miles

Last time I rung through an order and despite coming at the time they said they hadn't even bothered to start the order and put salt on when said no salt. Just being again asked if I wanted salt and vinegar I said just vinegar 30 seconds later he is pouring salt all over my meal when I pointed it out he chucked it to one side did again with less chips I won't be using again

The fish is the best I have had xx

Friendly staff, fast service, tasty food, large portions. Only issue is with lack of parking, patrons sometimes creates congestion on narrow market town High Street.
