Fish Inn in Southend-on-Sea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Friendly lovely people and always the best chips

Had Cod special fried while waited it was very hot and very nice only7.50 slightly smaller than normal portions but fine.Its one of if not best fish shop in Southend area

I don’t remember enjoying chicken and chips like this since I can remember! Quarter chicken, chips and a curry sauce was absolutely fantastic. Would highly reccomend. Proper chippy!

First time in this chippy and it won't be the last very nice.

First time tried tonight. Amazing food & huge portions. Our go to chippy from now on 👍🏻

Fantastic fish and chips,superb service and for the quality very good value

Absolutely fantastic food. Lovely family run establishment…. To me this is the best !! So friendly and always accommodating with every need.. Don’t know their names but great service….

Best fish and chips around! I call before and order as can be quite busy and I actually like the fact it’s cash only! Keep it going

Very small portions and taste was disappointing

Lovely cod and chips and decent portions. Small battered cod lovely and crispy.

Fish Inn of London road, leigh on sea Essex have always provided the best fish & chips for many years. We travel 5 miles to get our fish & chips supper. It's certainly worth every penny. Well done Steve and his team ! Chris of Thundersley

Wheni lived in leigh I always used these guys haven't been for a while they still serve the best fish and chips in the Area well done fish inn

Staff are very friendly and the fish and chips are fantastic

Amazing food, all freshly done, generous portions. Our favourite chip shop in whole of Southend

The fish is cooked to order so expect a little wait but its worth it never had a bad experience there

Food great but cash only.had to go to Iceland for cash back.

Best chipper around! No card payment though.

Amazing people in this chippy, really polite and very friendly, a 100% recommend

Solid chippy, freshly made fish and chips and all the other options to boot. Friendly staff, not entirely sure on the charging Vs the menu. However the fish and chips tasted good and healthy portions.

I had read the great reviews and went this evening to buy fish and chips full of anticipation. The shop was packed and the smell was delicious, but that is as far as it went. On ordering I was told that it was cash only!! I had no cash on me and left empty handed to go somewhere else and ended up very disappointed with that. Come on - in this day and age it is time to come into the 21st century!

Without a doubt the best Fish & Chips in the area. Old skool chippy 👌🏼 Always cooked fresh and great size portions. Lovely couple too!

Good size fish ,batter sausage good ,chip good

Arguably the best fish and chips in Southend, always freshly prepared. Generous portion sizes, reasonably priced, the staff are helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Arguably the best fish and chip shop in Southend. There's sometimes a wait especially on a Friday, the reason being it's extremely popular due to the quality of their fish and chips. Portion sizes are very generous, the fish fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices are reasonable, staff friendly and helpful. A real gem that's definitely worth a visit!

Best fish and chip shop in the area. But due to poor communication whilst everyone was wearing masks I was given "roe" instead of the "roll" that I ordered.

Nice quality food. Reasonable price. Pleasant staff.

This is seriously one of the best, no frills, no fancy decor, no fancy lighting, just a proper Chippy serving superb Chips and lovely Fish, the batter is just right the fish meaty and soft , large size really is LARGE and hangs off the plate nothing changes here it’s reliable and has stood the test of time, generations of the family still running it, they stick to what they know best.

We've been using this place a while now, quality is always top notch and portions generous. When they were closed over Xmas, tried another shop up the London Rd. OK but not as good on any level. Only take cash, and you usually have to wait a bit, but the haddock in particular is well worth it.

Its lively fresh fish nice chips plenty on salt and vinegar fills that space.

Fish and chips were lovely and staff were very friendly.

Best fish and chips served by friendly staff

Fantastic been here for years ♡ the best

Best fish and chips I've ever eaten. ALWAYS fab!! BTW I've eaten alot of fish and chips up and down the country.

My wife and I will not eat anywhere else. The chips are always crisp and cooked to perfection with no oil (grease) running off them. The fish too is cooked perfectly. We have been buying from fish inn for years now. We have bought from a number of the other's on this site but none come close to them. The small cod is bigger that the large in some of the other f & c shops. In fact we would rather travel home for F & Cs from Fish Inn then buy it elsewhere now days as we know what we are getting.

If you want the Best and chips... Go Here...

Ordered chicken nuggets, fish and chips with curry sauce, and sausage and chips. Chicken nuggets were half cooked and inedible. Sauce for the fish tasted wrong and following morning had upset tummy from the food. Very disappointed as usually the food is good. Wary of buying from them again.

Fish freshly cooked to order. Cash only though

The fish was large and very nice but the chips were terrible just like a mush of grease in a pulp so a bit disappointed. Service was excellent and everyone was very polite and happy. Overall would go again but separated crispy chips please.

The best chippy in Southend by miles !

Lovely fish and chips served with a smile. My order is always haddock and chips. For our family of three, two fish and one large chips is plenty! The fish is crisp and never too greasy. Fabulous!

Best fish and chips in the area, higjly recommend

Wow, just experienced the best fish & chips ever! Everything from the quality, portion, presentation and customer service outweighs anything around.

Fish and chips always very good. Don't take cards though, still stuck with cash payments. C'mon, it's the 21st century..

Absolutely delicious, well cooked and fresh tasting fish. Chips are so fresh d tasty. Best fish and chips shop in Southe d.

Best fish & chip shop in Essex ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant fish and chips out standing

Best Fish and chip shop locally by a distance

This is without doubt the best fish and chips in Southend, the cod is so fresh and portions are massive, I would highly recommend it

Had lunch here yesterday and it was truly superb. We struck lucky as we hadn’t checked ratings beforehand. The food was freshly cooked and delicious.

Always excellent. All the fish is perfectly cooked with very tasty batter. Chips are superb and on the whole the best fish shop I know of.

Always brilliant. Best in town, county and probably everywhere. Recommended to all. Let me know if you're u find better.

Been buying fish & chips here for over 20 years top quality !!

Just had fish and chip takeaway from here for the first time and was fantastic. It was fresh, not at all greasy and delicious. I’d highly recommend.

This evening me and my partner stoped off at the fish inn we both ordered pie and chips the pie was microwave right in front of us! The chips was undercooked and to top it all off it was daylight robbery! £11 for 2 pies 2 chips wow what a joke

We recently moved house and this was our first time having fish and chips. I was sceptical about ordering due to the look of it from the outside but i am happy to have been proved wrong! I had cod which was enormous and cooked to perfection, and shared a portion of chips with my other half (who had battered sausage). The chips were crisp and tasty - not limp and soggy like chip shop chips often can be. Very happy that this takeaway is our nearest!

Cracking cod and chips here, I’ve been all over Leigh-on-Sea and Southend, this is the best by a mile, quality food and plenty of it. If you don’t believe me, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

My family have used this chip shop for the best part of 40 years. It is run by the same family that ran it when I was a child. It has always knocked spots off of every other local chippy in our opinion. Lovely food!

Been ordering here for my residents for the last few years and the food is freshly cooked and tastes amazing a must try for anyone looking for decent fish and chips

Visiting Leigh on Sea and fancied a F&C supper. Delicious cod and chips - and not too greasy! Fish is prepared freshly for you when you order and comes in small, medium & large size - the medium cod plus small chips was plenty of food for 2 hungry adults. Highly recommend this chippy opposite Iceland.

Large Cod hangs off the plate either side i need rectangled plates, its big, its juicy, always fresh cooked, nice batter, best chips around, small is large even the Pickled onions are like snooker balls, its always busy, which is a good sign, cash only no new fangled card machines here, its old school all the way, still wrapped in paper too, don't you just hate those polystyrene cartons or cardboard boxes, none of that here.

Great staff and excellent food.

WOW! Proper fish and chips. I was looking for a new chippy upon moving to Leigh and after seeing the reviews decided to give it a bash, I was most definitely not disappointed!! All cooked fresh to order and absolutely gorgeous. I'm so lucky to have this as my local! It's well worth a visit!! The staff are all lovely and the prices are fantastic!I've tried the cod, chips and my essential, chicken nuggets. All have been absolutely spot on.

Excellent Fish and chips, I had Haddock, wife had Cod, loads to eat even the small portions, went to old Leigh Sea Front to eat them, over looking the sea 😁

Dont go on the reviews like i did best chippy around dont make me laugh unless you want microwaved rock hard pie and as for the chips aint got a clue what they are about absolutely discusted waste of money these reviews must be family members or made up

I stopped this place to have something quick so I decided to buy the pie what an awfully decision it was very soggy and mushey microwave oven pie never again

Always great food. Chops are lovely.

If you’re passing though Leigh-on-Sea and you have a hankering for some proper fish and chips then you wouldn’t do better than the Fish Inn. If you live in Leigh-on-Sea then you probably already know it’s the best in town and that you’re probably in for a wait if you want a chip supper on a Friday evening although it’s still worth the wait. If I have one issue it’s that if you want pie and chips they don’t have hot pies waiting they will use a microwave oven to heat one up which tends to leave it soggy instead of crispy, but it’s a small price to pay when the fish is so fresh and the batter golden that it would be a shame to have a pie anyway.

Just driven from Limoges in France and first stop has to be the Fish Inn. Excellent

Best fish n chips in Leigh bu far, batter is the business, superb

Traditional British fish and chips, Excellent!

Best fish and chips in town. Always cooked fresh to order.

Consistently very good, never seem to have an off day, fish batter always the same, perfect, chips always perfect, nothing is left sitting around too long after cooking, service always the same, as is the decor, it’s the real thing, has not changed in decades and it should not change either, it don’t get better or batter than this, you don’t need fancy surroundings for quality d&c.Family run through the years.

The best chip shop around, gorgeous food and perfect service

Tasty tasty it's very very tasty it's verrrrry tasty. Great fish and chips chips were a. It salty though but that was my fault other than that I recommend

Best fish & chips in the Town ! Clearly always freshly cooked & open gppd hours Tues to Sat. The large cod is big enough for two.

This is a small, family run business, which has been open for 35+ years. The walls feature pictures of the specific boats that catch their produce - a nice touch - and the fish and chips really are second-to-none.

Great service friendly staff & great deals . Beautiful tasty fish n chips

Called in the Fish Inn for lunch time fish and chips after reading the great reviews online. We were not disappointed! My plaice and chips was perfect and cooked to a crispy exterior and a must and flaky interior. My mum and dad's cod were both perfect too. The chips are the best I've had in ages, and all in all the service we received was second to none. I can't wait to come back to Leigh on Sea and visit Fish Inn again. 10/10.

Highly recommended best fish and chips for miles around

We go to the fish in every Friday best fish & chips around not badly priced either . Very friendly staff . You can phone your order through as well .

the best fish and chips around. I always go there.

The best fish and chips in Leigh and I would say probably the best in Southend. Great chunky fish and generous portions.

First time visit. It was lunchtime and they freshly cook chips in small batches.

Always without fail good fresh cooked chips, and the Fish has never let us down, batter is perfect, our go to place for F & C's, reliable dependable old style Chippy, why change something thats not broken.

A fish haven in my doorstep - the £5 deal,enhanced with mushy peas and the special curry sauce is excellent! If funds allow the middle of skate is the best ever!

Never had such lovely fish and chips 🍟 coming back for more as loved it so much

The freshness of the fish I have bought from here is second to none and the portions are very generous. The crispy batter is light and everything is very tasty. I have never been disappointed.

Realy good fish and chips and you get nice portions, highly recommended for a good fish and chip meal

Very good service, will defo be going back for " cod bites "

Estos chicos tranquilamente sus negocios de provisión de alimentos de muy alta calidad y como un ex Chef Royal Navy que algunos elogios.

❤ Beautiful Fish and Chips, exactly what it should be. Lovely traditional recipe, worth every penny.❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

He estado yendo a este "fish and chips" desde que era un simple chico (más de 40 años) está actualmente dirigido por los hijos de las personas que me estaban sirviendo patatas fritas cuando era un adolescente, y que vale la alabanza!

Nos vamos a los peces desde mi madre inn recomendado algunos hace 20 años. Aunque la tienda no es el más moderno, el pescado es increíble. En todo el tiempo que hemos estado yendo allí nunca hemos tenido un pedazo de pescado. El eglefino y bacalao son tanto increíble y la forma en la que está preparado es muy sabrosa

Always fresh Cod, large means large, crispy batter, freshly cooked while you wait. Lots of hot crispy chips.

Crispy batter, large boneless cod (for a change), awesome chips and all served by 'traditional fish and chip shoppers'. YUM YUM YUM

this place really does sell superb fish & chips.. !!

Yo en coche tres otro fish and chips tiendas pasado, así que puedo comprar desde el pescado Inn (enfrente Islandia en el London Road en Leigh). La comida está siempre recién preparada, los precios son normales y todos los que trabajan allí son borrosas.

Traditional style chip shop run by a very nice, hard working family. The fish is always freshly fried, the batter is light and delicious and the chips are good. The best skate wings I have come across in Leigh and without a doubt one of the best places in town. Great value for money and top quality food. Excellent.

You can get a decent portion of fish and chips here, along with the normal pies and sausages. I'ts ok but not the best along the London road!

The service is great and the fish and chips are to die for. Freshly cooked to order and well worth the few minutes wait while this happens. They also cater for large parties and deliver to the venue. I have used them for this 3 times in the past year and they have been on time, hot and tasty every time. Brilliant!
