Churchill's Fish & Chips in Braintree

The portions are absolutely abysmal considering the price. Amazing how that we received more sachets of salt and vinegar than we did chips. Extremely overpriced and would recommend that they are avoided. The drinks were forgotten. I have used numerous times a while ago and in all the times I have ordered they have always forgotten part of the order. Would advise ordering elsewhere!

Portion sizes little small but still ok

The chicken could have been cooked for longer and the chips were lukewarm

An hour and 25 minutes for the food to arrive lukewarm and incorrect. Utterly ridiculous.

It's a fish & chips shop so no atmosphere to comment on but the service is good and the food delicious with good portions!

Fish was awesome Chips lovely We eill be back

Arrived cold and very small portion for the price

I have always been happy with the food from Churchill’s

Very overpriced for what it is. Ordered 2 Large Chips but seemed to be two regular. First and probably last time ill visit

Best chip shop in Witham, click and collect service is very useful

No problems at all. Happy with the chip shop. Not happy with Just Eat service charge. For what? Another rip off.

My husband and I went to collect our order tonight (Large cod + X2 battered sausages and Large chips with mushy peas) The woman behind the counter (Older disheveled looking one) who seems to be there each time we collect our food and each time is just absolutely awful! Not only to us but after customers. The woman kept loudly complaining for all to hear how understaffed she is and that she's on her own. When handing my husband our order and upon inspection he requested that the chips be cooked for a little longer/double cooked as put on the 'Special requests' section when ordering online as he noticed that they were not what was asked and instead looked soggy and undercooked. The woman rudely shouted in front of everyone 'Its not my problem it's the managers fault' my husband then replied he is happy to wait and she tutted and replied 'Theres no staffing, you're going to have to wait ages because there is no space to put anymore on' When my husband acknowledged this and proceeded to wait the woman continued to mutter and swear under her breath. Two mins later a poor man came in and politely asked 'Can I make an order please' to which she replied to him 'Well no not really'. Anyway the food was fine, service yet again was terrible I will not be spending my hard earned money here again. Someone please sack this woman for goodness sake or at least put her on a training course.

Nice chip shop, friendly staff, great service. Decent servings of well cooked chips

The most expensive chip shop in Witham . Dry chicken Fish cod is nice 👌 Chips overdone Potions of the food after size of the other chip shops in Witham

Lovely food and great quality. Friendly delivery too!

lovely food as always and the delivery driver Callum is a quality guy. 😊 Thank you

Great, quick delivery and great food

Chips not the best didn’t taste fresh

Took 2 hours to receive a burger and chips, young girl on the phone was soooo lovely she was your only saving grace

Lovely fish and chips, will be ordering again .20 mins early and fresh

Always great tasting chips and the plaice was huge with just the right amount of batter, not all batter with hardly any fish, very moorish

Lovely delivery man , food hot and delicious , will order again

Hadn't been here in while and I was surprised to see the negative reviews as we've always enjoyed it. Last night we got 3 portions of selects and mozzarella sticks to add to our dinner of wraps and salad. Obviously we could have made the chicken etc ourselves from supermarket produce but have loved the chicken tenders in the past so spent £20 on a treat. What a disappointment. They've completely changed their chicken, where it used to be actual chicken and tasty crispy breadcrumbs, it's now frozen reconstituted rubbish that we're mushy and flavourless. The mozzarella sticks were almost solid and undercooked. Such a shame to see a local business like this go so rapidly downhill but you've lost another customer sadly.

The food wasnt goid at all. The chips were mushy and really greasy. The plaic was very over cooked so very very small. The batter was really hard, overcooked and greasy. The entire meal was a waste of £34.49. I wish i had used somebody else.

We have been before, but food was very, very greasy this time. So may try others in Witham.

Chips were soggy, undercooked & seemed like the oil they were fried in hadn’t been changed in a while. However, Chicken burger was very fresh.

Worst takeaway iv had from Churchill’s!!! Won’t be ordering anything again. Gone down hill badly.

Ordered large chips and got a small portion delivered Not the first time this has happened.

Chips were gorgeous as always. Fish was fresh and tasty with a really light, crispy batter and the curry sauce is gorgeous! 1 complaint - portion was tiny!! I ate it and had to go and get a sarny! Not really worth the £20 it cost, sorry!

Sausage was over cooked outside and under cooked inside. Chips tasted as if they was rare gone cold and been precooked. Over cooked outside and mushy and tasteless inside and overly greasey

Large chips was almost the same as regular chips . Considering the price it was a very poor portion. Disappointed.

Over priced, slow service, quality of fish 7 out of 10 chips 5 out of 10

This is £18 worth is expensive but very nice Chips 7/10 Fish 9/10 Delivery 10/10 A* Portion 6/10 Price 6/10

Thank you so much for getting the delivery here quickly great customer service

Of 50+ orders online and in person, this is the first bad one, it was delicious as always but.. there were 2 rather large bones in the fish. I hope this is just a one-off... -Curry man

Food was only warm not hot - delivery girl tried to say no one was home, but clearly failed to notice the front door was open.

Delicious. Arrived hot and tasty

Quick and accurate service. Food was freshly cooked and tasty.

I don’t know how they manage it, after all, it’s not hard to cook chips but their chips are always hard and chewy. Pies, sausages, saveloys are all ok but damn their chips are awful

Really disappointed, ordered food from here before after then saying chips and vegan items cooked separately. Went in today to be told everything is cooked together. Won’t be going there again :-(

I am not sure what has happened at this place but it has gone from a nice local chippy to a place where they don’t understand what you are asking and what you want. Poor service skills and worse delivery times. Terribly disappointed

Went today to be told their vegan food is cooked with non-vegan food so not even suitable for a vegetarian nor someone with allergies. Previously they have told us differently which we are pretty unhappy about.

Food was lovely but we were missing all our drinks!

Worm in the fish will never eat fish again absolutely repulsed! Called up and complained and they only refunded me £16.50 of £23.24 very petty. The sausage went in the bin as there was no way I was eating any thing else from here and they kept the money for the delivery how very petty!

Food was delivered quickly and nice and warm but the kids chicken hero's portion was tiny. My 7 year old was still hungry after eating his meal and he is not a big eater. I phoned them to complain and they responded that this was the portion size. I ordered the same thing 2 weeks ago and the portion was much bigger and would feed my son easily. I explained this and the lady then said that they had changed supplier so the portions are now smaller. To still be charging £8 for such a tiny portion is ludacris. I was told that when I order them again to be aware that this is the new portion size in which I stressed I will NOT be ordering them again. This is a meal that would suit a toddler, not a child. We have ordered from here numerous times and never had any issues. So this is a real shame.

food arrived early and hot. Tasty as always.

Was disappointed in the size of the portion of chips that came with the sausage and chips meal. The portion was very small considering the cost.

There was no salt and vinegar and chips were undercooked

My food was cold and inedible. Fish tasted old and chips had clearly been reheated from old stock. I felt really unwell after eating this and won’t be using this shop again

lovely friendly delivery driver and was suprised but pleased it was early 😀

Came here yesterday for large chips and battered sausage. Food was nice large chips seem like the common regular size but the battered sausage was probably one of the best I ever had. It came to around £7.50 so not cheap as chips near £5 alone.

lovely food and the driver was really polite. highly recommended, no other place does it like Churchills

Consistently good fish supper, efficiently and carefully prepared.

My order was delivered over 90 mins after my order which is way in excess of the normal response time.

Just bought pie & chips from here an they went stright in the bin as a OAP I can not afford to pay £12.49 to throw food away I wouldn't have given this to an animal there wasn't one actual whole chip among them the whole lot was stone cold you should be ashamed of yourself serving food like that it was disgusting....

the food was bunt not for the first time

savorloy under cooked cold and hard chips were warm ish

Food good as usual, but one meal ordered did not go through.

£4.49 for a large chips that are all black and rotten! Never in my 43 years of life had such a poor portion of chips that was so small for £4.49! Will never use this chippy again and will advise everyone else too!!!!

Really nice food but a bit stingy on chip portion

The food was cold and the portions were small. Not worth the money. Haven’t ordered from here for a while and thought we’d give it another chance. We won’t make that mistake again. There are far better places to eat in Witham.

We ordered a battered sausage but received a normal sausage and there was barely a regular size chips.

The food was delivered a lot earlier than was expected which was great, unfortunately the food was cold when it arrived so we’d rather have waited longer and got hot food. Quality of the food was good had it been warm.

Waited 90 mins for delivery , food was cold and tasted like it was sat there all day, chips was just a giant mashed potato, won't be using no more

Very nice food not so much as you can’t eat it all burger was great

Curryman is always pleased with the quality of the curry sauce... oh and the other bits were nice, too.

Always our go to for fish & chips, the whole family loves Churchills!

very cold and savaloy was hard and cold chips were cold come be ordering again and kids drink was leaking

Thought I would try Churchill’s so purchased on 30/01 and found worms in my fish. As in multiple. Unfortunately I didn’t realise until I had already eaten quite a bit of it. Not to mention that the lady who served me was very unwelcoming but that pales in comparison to eating worms. Thank you.

im so angry i wont go into detail all i can say is food was late cold and disgusting 🤢 to the point my kids wouldnt touch it! shame as chirchills use to be amazing gone down hill!

Was extremely early. All was awesome apart from the chips. They were diabolical. Majority were old triple probably more than that cooked. Hard and unbeatable. Shame. Love picking up a fresh order but used just eat this time. Shame. Not to worry. Will get fresh next time

Having read recent reviews saying Churchills has gone downhill I decided to ignore them and ordered regardless, after all it’s always been very good on previous orders. 20 minutes after I was expecting my food I was full of regret about ignoring the negative reviews. Obviously the food arrived cold, this included the mushy peas which usually stay hot for 2-3 working days. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

This place has gone downhill fast, kids running the place that have no idea about good fish and chips. The sausages were Luke warm and the savaloys cold,. Chips were the worst I've ever had ....reheated maybe yesterday's left overs. This used to be the bes chippy in the area!!!

Had lovely takeaway tonight quite a big order everything done to perfection and staff very friendly had a laugh with them

No salt or vinegar despite being ordered. Otherwise fine.

Food was quite hot, fish beautiful and white, batter was a little greasy, but still nice, chips were proper chip shop chips. Price fairly reasonable, thoroughly enjoyed my fish and chips, would buy from Churchills again definitely 😊👍.

I arrived here looking forward to a big chips supper tonight and it said u r open till 10 pm and your service wasent good enough u were shutting up and could only give what's was left just a regular disappointed wasent what I expected sorry

Food was cold, and poorly put together. Burgers falling apart, chips stuck to bag from grease and delivery bag ripped. Chicken burger had no salad, although had requested and paid for! Very upset

This is a traditional fish and chip shop which is part of a chain. It’s a well run business offering a good service. The fish and chips are usually but not always excellent. Sometimes when business is slack the food may have been in the storage cabinet too long. Service is good, the staff work hard and there’s usually enough people on duty. I always order on line for click and collect which works reasonably well.

I was notified my food on the way at 18:27pm, it arrived stone cold at 19:21 ! Stone cold fish and chips that were soggy and cold!! I had already contacted just eat and they updated the eta, but it was still late. Really poor service

Great food as always. Unusual for them to be late, so put that down to the staff being so busy. Merry Christmas to you all. 🎄

freshly cooked and nice and hot!

Although the delivery was early, it wasn't a big problem. However, the food was a different problem. it was nearly cold and not at all edible.

Exceptional quality piping hot food

I don’t normally review but I was disappointed with the order tonight I’ve order a few times now and never had any issues always good quality but tonight the batteries sausages was soggy and wasn’t fully cooked and the chips also very greasy and soggy. (Normal very tasty) and my curry sauce tastes like mental.

the food was stone cold they did send more out but took so long that wasn't in the mood to eat it.

Freezing cold food and soggy haddock. No batter on the battered sausage. All good had to be heated up. Unhappy with service and food.

Food over 30mins later than scheduled. Food stone cold and had to reheat everything just to eat it! Phoned up the shop and was told that there was heavy traffic and traffic lights to blame - basically was not the shops problem and mine! Will never order again which is a shame but the service and food is just atrocious.

Large cod and chips is what I ordered. I got a medium at best and that's being generous. The fish was dry with burned bits of batter. I suspect it was the last of the fish and they couldn't be bothered to cook any fresh. The chips were wet and cold, £12+ for the experience. Absolutely awful. I only gave one star because zero wasn't an option. Never again.

Ordered at 6pm, delivery time said 7.05-7.25pm food had not arrived by 7.30pm so called churchills who explained that it was due in 10mins, they apologised and only offered free delivery off next order (£2.99) from a £50 order.. it arrived a further 25mins after this totalling to 115mins wait from time of ordering. The food finally arrived luke warm and edible.- wouldn’t recommend and would certainly think twice about ordering again.

very expensive for very little.

Excellent service and food as usual 😀

A nice piece of haddock spoiled by soggy thick batter, accompanied by a mountain of cold soggy chips, enough for the whole street, now in the bin! Unappetizing or what, and all for a small haddock, chips and a Wally. Won’t be going back

Food arrived cold, the chips were lovely, the sausage wasn’t nice neither was the mozeralla sticks could’ve been sent out straight away then sitting on the food heater for ages

Wrong items delivered. Again. How hard can it be?

Shop hanging up calling them rude.when asking where order was

Food is OK,sadly took 25 mins to be delivered after saying it was out and food is quite cold

Anita was fantastic very informative and helpful.... Above and beyond I will be returning and now more so now I have my loyalty card! Had the lunchtime special which I was prompted towards and I wasn't disappointed. All in all good lunch and good experience.

Food was stone cold fish and chicken very dry sorry to say we will be going back to our old favourite just wasted £35

Over an hour late and food was stone cold
