Used to be one of the best, came back here today and seems like new owners. We’re friendly but definitely quality has massively gone downhill. The worst thing was my haddock was actually still raw inside realising halfway through eating it - I was shocked and had to complain. Felt sick. What is going on with this place?

Since it has been taken over probably about 6 months ago it has been going down hill fast - I have been served a pasty that had less moisture in it then the sun has and have also been served food that has been cold. If it keeps on as it is, it will be closed by Christmas, which would be a real shame as it has been there for years.

Food is great BUT their hours posted online don’t match what they’re actually open. Don’t say you’re open till half 9 and not actually be open before half 9. Also their delivery takes at least half hour longer than what is estimated. It’s just disappointing because they’re a local fish and chips that was relied on but not anymore. Super sad.

Been coming here for decades, not anymore. With the new owners, quality of food has gone way down. Thought I’d give them a chance to settle in but have consistently been given refried chips that are brown/burnt and 80% of the chips are the hard end pieces. Fish has a different batter and mostly is soggy and oily now, no longer crispy. Sad as Ercan had a great reputation for quality fish and chips over the decades only for the name to be ruined in the span of a couple of months. Will have to find a new chippy to go to now.

I have been a customer at this fish bar for many, many years but sadly will be taking my custom elsewhere. Change in ownership has seen what was once a source of reliably good quality, well cooked and pretty delicious fish n chips turn into the worse offering. Fish tasted stale, batter was soggy, chips tasted as if they were days old. The whole order was tepid and swimming in grease. If only there was the option to score it zero I would have done. Such a shame and loss to the neighbourhood.

I am REALLY NOT HAPPY with what has happened to this place. Since my last review (below) there are new workers. Last time the portion of chips came much smaller than we are use to. I didn't say anything. Today we went home with A REALLY COLD PIE, fridge cold. My son has to wait for his food as it's in the oven, so he can't eat his pie at the same time as his chips. Never have we had to cook our own food. It's supposed to be cooked for £3.20 or else I'd have gone to the supermarket!!! The pie I received is now unbranded as well. And the chips feel like they have been recooked and chewy. The fish doesn't feel crispy as it should be freshly cooked. When I went here before it use to be our go to. NOW I AM ANGRY!!! I feel stupid for convincing my partner to try it again after last time. Ruined our dinner. Old review: HUGEEEEE portions. I ordered off Just Eat and didnt know the £8.50 fish already came with chips so ordered a regular chips and it was gigantic. My order was easily enough for two people imo. I also I use to go here all the time 10-20 years ago and I have fond memories of this place. I will definitely go here more often again now that I'm more local again.

I used to eat here quite often at least once a week then moved out of the area 2 months ago, I came back here today to find new faces behind the counter and found out the owners have moved on :( Let me start by saying the quality of the food has gone out of the window, I ordered fish and chips and that same quality just isn't there any more, my fish was soggy with no crispy batter and the chips didn't seem fresh. The saveloy had very hard ends and it just wasn't right. To top it off the Asian lady who served me gave me the wrong change back and was finding it hard to do a simple calculation so I had to break it down for her on my phones calculator. I don't think I'll be coming back here any more after this. The original owners kept this place alive with many years of history. What a shame....

With great sadness since the original owners have left the quality and standard of food has depreciated considerably. The fish and batter were not the same, extremely greasy and not crispy. The same goes for the chips, soggy and oily like they were left sitting in cold oil for too long.

It was a time of suffering. Ercan has fallen into the gates of takeaway hell. Close it and throw away the keys. Staff clueless and can’t speak English. Food undercooked and potentially death inducing. Keep hoping the original owners would magically land like the avengers and end this torment. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE - such a shame.

I have been coming here for years and was voted in 2023 the best fish and chips in the area. Since the new guys have taken the reigns in their blue logo printed shirts, this place has changed beyond believe for the worse. They don't know the names of the products they sell and have to point through the hot cabinet glass at what you want. The lovely original guys that used to greet their customers are now in the back of shop. That friendly service has now gone. The food is awful. Soggy batter on fish and sausages, even the cats would not eat it. Chips hard and dried out. I will not be returning. Sorry to say this Ercan, but this change to your once thriving business has ruined it. If something wasn't broken, it didn't need fixing.

The previous owners of this fish and chip shop were amazing! However a recent ownership change has seen Ercan’s go downhill. Terrible service, we waited 15 minutes after ordering to be told that there was no veggie burger. They then tried to sell us as savaloy that we did not order and tried to charge us. Upon returning home we found the chips were undercooked, not salted, and soggy as they had been sitting waiting for 10 minutes. What a shame to see such a wonderful shop turn bad, we will not be returning.

Greasy spoon cafe style fish & chip shop that evokes nostalgia to many old customers. Established over many decades, with hardly as many customers once West Ham stadium moved over to Stratford. Fish is tasty, however, they do not offer the portions that British chip shop are known for and definitely not true representative of Turkish generosity either. It's sad that their service and portion dwindled as for their old and new customers.

This used to be the de facto West Ham supporters fish and chip shop on match days, with queues snaking around the block. A shame for them when the Hammers moved to Stratford. And now, an even bigger shame they have direct competition from Mother Hubbard's a few doors down. Staff are friendly, chips nice and chunky, but the fish was HUGH which is nice bonus. You get massive portions here even if the price is somewhat high. This is pure traditional fish and chips and well worth a visit.

Been going there since I was a little girl and most West Ham games before GSB destroyed our old ground but thankfully we still have our beautiful old school West Ham Chippy. Gorgeous food, cooked fresh and tastes amazing. I now have family dinner with my own family every friday without fail, my husband goes down to get our dinner and takes the kids to see all the West Ham pictures the owners have had up in there for years including our England heroes of 1966. We choose to eat at home as we are a big family of hungry teens but you can actually dine in there and also order online for delivery! They have everything you expect on the menu, even down to scampi, burgers to onion rings. Great range of hot and cold drinks and condiments. Ercans is spotless and the owners are extremely friendly and polite and serve generous portions, it's always open and always busy which is a good sign and shows just how great our little chippy is and how amazing their food is! I could only get 2 pictures of the menu online but it goes from one end of the shop to the other with a choice of beautiful food. We actually can't wait til Friday evenings knowing we are going to get our family meal at a great affordable price.....we even sometimes get it during the week as a little treat, my kids are teenagers but come home and still get excited like little kids when we say we're getting chippy from Ercans.

The service at the restaurant was shockingly bad. It’s unclear what criteria the waitstaff use to decide how to treat their guests—maybe they flip a coin, or perhaps they judge based on appearance. If you're a tourist dressed in casual, comfortable clothes without flashy designer logos, chances are you'll be treated poorly. Initially, you might be greeted warmly and your food served promptly. But when it comes time to pay the bill, everything changes. If your Apple Pay happens to fail (even if it's due to their terminal), you'll get judgmental looks as if you're some kind of beggar. They’ll continue to treat you this way until you pull out a physical card to pay. After payment, the server will simply turn their back on you—no "thank you for coming," no acknowledgment of the terminal issue. They’ll just walk away without a goodbye. Honestly, we were lucky not to get a kick in the back on our way out. I've experienced bad service before, but this was a first. It was so frustrating that I had to go back and tell the server directly: the food was good, but the service was terrible.
