fishnchickn Shotgate in Basildon

Food great & Delivery lady was lovely, being a new build the address wasn’t pulling in. She called to get directions for delivery and was really polite and professional.

Stop at this place for a quick lunch, honestly this was first and last time, for the price we expecting a better quality really disappointed, we literally have our meal dripping oil and let’s be honest for the price at least we expect not a frozen meal!!

Fish was crispy and firm and chips were good too. Arrived really quickly. Will use again 👍🏼

Expensive fish n chips, does the Job when you need it! Never get delivery, cold as if its come out the fridge! Staff are lovely, just ask for free every time!!!

Chicken 1/4 not available (poor) 3 piece chicken lukewarm and dry.

Wow on time and hot and so so tasty brilliant and delivery guy lovely too 5 stars in fact 10 stars

"make chips large" may actually be against the trade descriptions act. They are about half the size of other chip shops (Brittania for example). Fish is of reasonably good quality compared to other local chip shops. Overall low value for money. I imagine this is better if you go in person. Polite and nice staff whenever you speak with them.

As usual, our food was on time, hot, delicious and delivered by our friendly guy who always makes a fuss of our dog, Freddie. Freddie knows he brings nice things to eat!

Chips were good, fish needed a few more minutes in the fryer, fish was mushy, batter was soggy.

Tiny portions, overpriced. Cold and hard saveloys. So so hit and miss. Sadly not worth a visit. Avoid going 30 mins before they're closed as they have literally nothing to give you. They won't cook anything as they want to clean up early and go home asap.

It’s ok. But the chips get worse every time I order.

Poor service, staff member had an attitude, placed order by phone nothing correct on collection.

No problem with service, food good but not cheap but nothing Is these days.

Food was lovely, came pipping hot. Driver was very friendly and polite

Good, hot food, delivered promptly. Thank you.

Didn't mind the early arrival. Food was great, as usual.

Called up the shop and apparently our order did not come through their machine. Ordered at 7:30 which was confirmed by the restaurant on the app and then arrived at our address for 9:33. A just eat driver did not deliver it, the restaurant sent one of their own. Really not happy with this order.

Food was delivered on time, but was missing curry sauce and a saveloy. Had to wait a further 20 mins for these items to be delivered, frustrating considering it’s not cheap order at 32 pounds!

Terrible over priced food. Chips are stale... And service is deplorable... don't waste your time or money... To add, all these reviews regarding small portions and yet they haven't changed a thing. Please don't bother replying to my review. Lolol PS paid £13.95 for ribs and chips... joke...

Always good food, piping hot. Thank you!

Bought a cheeseburger for £6.60 ! Burger and bun edible, altho there were no onions/gherkins and the slither of cheese was so thin I could see the burger through it ! For what it must cost them there must be a gigantic mark up to get to £6.60 for that ! Disgraceful !!

Late arrival was not a problem. Food nice and hot and tasty. Thank you.

A friendly local fish and chip shop with nice friendly staff and tasty chips.

I've had medium fish & chips 3 times from here. Each time, the fish size was so small and chip portion is tiny also, compared with other F&C shops. So, so disappointed.

Wish I’d taken a picture, portions here get smaller and smaller. Although taste was decent for the cost probably had 20 chips total and what used to be consider a small fish now being sold as a large

The chips were hard in the middle

A fantastic meal. This is now our go to place.

Burger is a proper burger. Lovely chips

Evertything was as expected - piping hot and exactly as ordered. Thank you!

Brought medium fish and chips was discusted by the size of fish more like a small, chip portion not that big either save your money and go somewhere else don't deserve your custom and money.

Quick delivery, food hot and tasty.

Just bought 2 chip rolls and 2 sausages cost £13 and it was like a kids portion don't even think it was 1 🥔 potato won't be using you again very dissatisfied

Lily was very helpful with correcting my order. Food was lovely and hot

I ordered savoloy and extra chips. Wow the chips filled my plate, and I loved the savoloy and onion rings too. I received early and was warm and ready

Chips were very bad. Mostly burnt and tasted old and reheated. Fish was tiny and not a large at all.

Piping hot food, delivered with care, as usual. Thank you.

Had 1 item missing but rectified very quickly thanks to the young lad who helped. Food was very good.

food arrived was only warm ordered large cod but it was very small more like a medium cod very dissappointed with my meal not good value for money

Ordered a regular and a large portion of chips but they were both the same size. Really annoyed as I paid more for the large. Rip off

Small portions and expensive Savoloys tasteless

Was missing part of our order and it was also cold but was told too busy tonight to deliver the missing item even though this was a dinner !

Food hot and tasty, quick delivery.

Lovely hot food, as usual. Thank you.

Poor portion sizes and undercooked fish

Just had lunch from here and it was awful. Cold chips , hard pie and portions so small. Have used this place 3 times in last 3 months and it's just rubbish. Pie and chips £8 !

Just paid £28 for 2x fish chips and mushy peas 😳 have the prices gone up that much ?!? Not much fish & chips not great ..won’t be returning..pices in the town next time

This is the first time that I have ordered a meal this way, I did enjoy my meal very much, the only thing was that of course the food was not quite as hot as it would have been had it been served in a restuarant, however, it was not cold and I did enjoy it, thank you.

Really clean and modern looking, food was great and lots of options, friendly staff

Nice food just a little hit or miss when ordering a large chips with a meal as to if you will get a large portion or regular

Though I live very close for many years I have avoided this shop. It is ridiculously expensive compared to others in the area. Portion sizes are small ridiculously small and despite being extremely expensive I believe they strain them through a tea strainer given the amount of inedible fried potato waste. On several occasions the chips are luke warm, probably due to a combination of open doors and lack of customers. I live within a short walk but will get the car out to drive down into the town centre. Occasionally I have given second chances, when only requiring one meal, but they have run out. Especially with price increases and still the same quantity with little quality.

Superb plaice, burger and chips!

The food was quite good and great services

Overpriced, Luke warm, very small portioned food that takes an hour to be delivered 3 roads away. Won’t be ordering again.

Thank you for the lovely hot, great quality food we have come to expect from you!

Food was delicious as always, piping hot and devoured quickly. It was delivered on time but the quoted time is very long and it would be nice if this could be looked at as an area for improvement

Wonderful fish, the only (minor) criticism is the amount of chips you get. If you only have small appetite, you only need two portions between three of you

Pie was burnt and food was quite cold. Very unlike the food from there normally

I paid almost £6 for the tiniest portion of chips and a cold hard savaloy today. Normally the chips will go into the box, and then some more for good measure. Its a shame as the chips were nice, but its not the first time I've been disappointed from there. I feel ripped off, so I won't be returning. AVOID if you want value for money.

Really expensive for twice cooked or left over chips, ineadable. Fish portions are small and it was soggy stuck all to the paper in the box. Portions are appalling will not be going back.

Smallest medium fish I’ve ever purchased for £10.95 I understand prices of food are on the rise but that shouldn’t mean the fish gets smaller. This was a takeaway service and I’d of taken a picture if I’d seen the size of the tiny piece of fish hidden under a mound of chips before tucking in. Disappointed and won’t be returning again.

Great service as always, highly recommend!

Absolutely gobsmacked at the portion size I received tonight, i asked for a medium portion of chips but was clearly given a small. The chips didn’t even topple over the tray provided, and at £2.85 I was very distraught at the amount I received at 8pm on a Monday, I was feeling generous and let them keep the 25p change, but now feel I’ve been taken for a mug, I rarely come to fish n chicken as it Appears to be the same service no matter which one I go to. I’m not just angry, but am very disappointed too.

Was delivered very quick one box had barley any chips in for what you was like a kids portion

Food was a bit cold when I received and I got mainly crispy chips but was tasty and the delivery was quick

Over priced for portion size compared to other local shops

Unfortunately the food tonight was poor again, the quality is inconsistent, the chips pale and clumped together this time, can't they be cooked a little longer so they don't stick together? Although we've had some nice food its hit and miss and we've had to return food before, chips being a staple part of the menu shouldn't be so poor. Your loosing repeat business with the patchy quality.

Always Great Quality food from here, please never change!! Lol delivered hot and fast and delicious.. always! Thank you.

If that was a large chips then don’t ever eat the small because it was tiny

Ordered food from here tonight, food was cooked well but portion size was ridiculously small. Phoned to complain and was told they have to use a scoop to control the portion sizes but the price has remained the same. Will not be ordering from here again.

Was a fantastic service as usual and the food was lovely again as usual. No hesitation in recommending to anyone.

Delivery time was amazing. Food amazing as always. Someone got in contact with us explaining they didn’t have an item and exchanged it with no hassle. We was all extremely happy with it and will definitely order again.

Really disappointed in how late the food was! The delivery guy was apologetic and it wasn’t his fault at all as there was a mix up at the restaurant. These things happen but a courtesy call to let us know would have been ideal.

fish had been overcooked it was dry and burnt. the presentation was aufull just thrown in the one box and squashed. I did not enjoy this meal and would consider ordering from somewhere else in the future it was expensive so i was expecting and enjoyable meal no it was not. the delivery driver was very nice

Awful service. Food arrived an hour late - an hour after it left with the delivery driver. Arrived cold therefore thrown away. Ended up going out to buy food.

food was stone cold! Pie seemed undercooked and had a horrible taste to it! One mouthful and it went in the bin, considering I paid nearly £15, not impressed at all!

Loads of chicken and chips one portion between us would have been ample

I came at 9:20 and asked for a large cod and chips and a chicken burger and I was only offered a small section of food that was left in the heat cupboard and it tasted like it had been there for at least 2 hours the lady that served us said that they were shutting in half an hour so they refused to cook us the food we wanted I would not eat here again.

Loads of chips chicken spit roast was great lot of it southern fried chicken beautiful and again lot of it definitely use again

Always on time, always piping hot - excellent service!

Good hot food delivered on time. Thanks!

I didn’t even get my delivery I had to go and pick it up Service was shocking will never use again As I said payed for delivery and had to pick it up

Food tasty and hot, would highly recommend.

very enjoyable meal arrived hot

Place looks clean and well kept, friendly staff, by far the best chippie chips going, as well as the battered cod. Royal chicken burger was very tasty and definitely cooked fresh. Proper chicken breast too. Sides such as onion rings and mozzarella sticks also very nice indeed. Would definitely recommend.

The vegan glory burger was the best burger I’ve ever eaten. Everyone else’s food was amazing too but I 100% recommend the vegan burger. Thank you and will definitely be ordering again

Delivered early. Food was big portions but chips arrived stone cold and I had to warm them up. Don't understand how they were so cold when the shop is only 10 minutes away, it was pure laziness having it delivered as I couldn't be bothered to go out and pick it up.

ordered large cod and large chips all squashed into one box fish got stuck to packaging as a result it broke up. pickled onions could not ne eaten as they were rotten soft and could not be eaten. very bad experience not sure if i will try again once bitten twice shy.

Food was over an hour and half late, food was slightly warm, cod was dry and tasteless and fish was stuck to box and was broken into 4 pieces! Not a good service and has gone down hill!!!

Great fish and chips, always freshly cooked, Great portion sizes, very tasty.

Piping hot food, all in recyclable packaging., delivered promptly. Thanks!

It’s a great meal fresh and hot to the door and delivered on time or it’s early but never late. Good value for money

Extremely late delivery and the food was stone cold

Good hot food, plenty of chips! Thank you.

I have been to a few fishnchicken shops and they are the worse .

Fish was lovely as we're the chips. Chicken was still moist and service was good

food was nice would have been better if i got what i had ordered. very dissapointed to say the least

Great that the food was early, although a longer expected time than originally expecting for a very local shop. Food was great, could've been a bit hotter maybe!

Always get lovely Food from here 👍

food was good quality, there was an abundance of chips so more than enough to go round. Only negative, I ordered delivery for when one of our party was home from work, but it arrived very early so we had to heat it up. but otherwise no issues.

Food is good but service is terrible. Fish often not ready and have no idea how orders work as entered empty shop. Had to wait for fish to be cooked and yet 8-9 people after me all served first - joke
