Frydays Fish & Chips in Colchester

My favourite fish 🐟 and chip 🍟 shop in colchester the only one i go too! 5STAR REVIEW GREAT TASTE VERY FRESH LOVELY STAFF 😍 👌 👍 🥰

Cod & chips & chicken nuggets were both very hot when delivered, tasted very fresh. Chips were fluffy & golden. Would definitely recommend & will definitely buy again.

Excellent chippy with good selections to choose from and very happy staff.

Just had 2 large cod chips & salad and it was absolutely perfect ,best chippy in colchester

The location is good, and it's accessible but the fish and chips weren't very nice. It tasted like it had just been reheated, unfortunate as I was looking for a new local chip shop.....

Very good cod and chips. Polite guys and parking to front of shop. The cod was great but the batter wasn't crispy. The chips were perfectly fluffy inside and not too greasy. Will visit again. Crispy batter would make it 10/10.

Really good food. Excellent portions and reasonably priced. Love the kebabs.

Dont order from deliveroo they keep ur food and the money,id like to say it was nice food but my kids were in tears with no dinner!!!

Great opportunity fish and chips thank you

First and only chippy that we’ve tried since moving to Colchester and our first experience was a pleasant one. Food was well cooked, hot and tasted great. Our second meal wasn’t as great. The fish in particular was rather oily and cold by the time we got it home, yet we live five minutes away. Chips were bland. I’d give ‘em a third go but it could be the last if not enjoyed as the meal isn’t as cheap as it used to be.

No matter what anybody says, Frydays fish and chips are by far the best in Colchester. In all the years I have been going there, I have never been disappointed with my purchase whether it be fish, sausages, pies or whatever. Everything has been to a high and satisfying standard. Well done and thankyou for your super food.XXX

Excellent chip shop, i frequently order from them via Deliveroo. Great food, generous portions, and always good value. I would definitely recommend them.

Chips , very edible no worries.

Beautiful fresh food hot and tasty great price chicken was delightful and succulent chips were hot fresh tasty service was amazing the woman on the front of house is excellent definitely recommend this place

Unfortunately I have to give these a 2 star because the fish wasn’t as good as it used to be and the chips are a bit bland, we normally get these delivered and they can’t even be bothered to put salt and vinegar on them 🤷‍♂️ I mean why ruin your reputation by missing out something so quick an simple, it just shows laziness and carelessness, may have to go somewhere else if they can’t correct this

Found this place to be fab when I first started going here but now my view has changed. Portion sizes have gradually gotten smaller. And at nearly £5 for a large portion I would expect the portion to be a decent size. Very disappointed

Love the fish and chios and staff are super friendly

Our favourite local chippy. Always great service and fab food.

Fish was lovely and fresh, not greasy at all. Service was great, friendly and smiles. Chips were disappointing. Looked anaemic, some were undercooked and generally they were dry and not nice to eat. Great portion sizes though, kids meal was plentiful.

Just the job for a sit in lunch over that side of town on our way to Highwoods. Great idea of the staff member to offer us the lunch deal as the portion of fish was just the right size for my husband and I. Crispy batter, flaky moist cod, great chips. The staff member agreed that getting wooden cutlery is their next step and said she would try a different supplier. Once that is in place it will be Practically Perfect in every way 🍒

Food tastes great and staff are very friendly.

We pre ordered 72 portions of mainly fish and chips and a few veggie burgers and chips for a dual celebration of my wife’s 70th and our anniversary. The order arrived on time the food was hot and tasty and enjoyed by our friends and family. The food made the event unique and several people asked where the shop was so that they could visit for their own fish suppers in future.What more can I say other than thank you very much all to the staff at Fridays for making our event so special.

the food was perfectly cooked and tasty and the staff were friendly, would definetly recommend :)

Absolutely delicious! We haven't eaten fresher fish in a long time.👍

Best fish and chips always great service wouldn’t go anywhere else , always friendly and the quality is always 10/10

Lovely meal of fish and chips yesterday. Fish was meaty and well cooked, chips fresh. Very nice friendly staff....would definitely go again.

Brilliant food here and there’s a girl called Jade her serving is outstanding i went in Sunday evening she was rushed off her feet but was still smiling at every customer this woman needs a medal

Superb !!! I travel all over uk & I know a good chippy. Fridays is I must say one of the best, fresh white cod, light not too thick batter, cooked too perfection ( checked regularly whilst it’s cooked), thick crispy chips not soggy or oily. The staff are friendly and polite and always helpful. In all I would highly recommend this chippy.

Great service. Delivered to my home as live just up the road and I requested order for 10 people. Food very hot. Cooked extremely well. Use regularly. Would recommend for any occasion

Really friendly staff and very good quality fish. Just a good traditional chip shop.

Great fish and chips, friendly staff, curry sauce was heavy! (In a good way)

Can't give any stars, absolutely awful meal tonight. Overcooked dry fish, chips dry, probably reheated from weekend. Pukka pie although slightly warm was not cooked very soggy pastry. Not eaten, straight in bin!! Didn't fancy food poisoning! Cannot recommend this place. Do not buy from there.

Absolutely amazing food and service couldn’t have been better!

Best chippy in town, food always tastes great and staff are friendly

Food was delicious and cooked well, been here several times and have never had a bad experience

Great food, I had take away so cannot comment on the atmosphere.

Very disappointed. Chicken was dried out, chips re cooked. I spent 13 pounds, couldn’t eat it.

Large cod is always a great size for the larger appetite yum yum

This must be the best place in Colchester ! Very friendly and top service. Try it and you won't be disappointed 👌

All quality food and lovely costumer service friendly staff thanks definitely using again

Excellent cod and chips, very nice and well worth it!

Great food and fantastic staff. Thanks

Superb service from a great team as always. Without a doubt the best place to buy fish and chips in Colchester!

Great cod and chips. My girlfriend and I have been looking for a proper chippy after being let down by delivery apps all too often. This place really hit the spot. Reminded me of the chippys in the old days

Great food, greatly priced and the batter on the cod is to die for. The guys were just a good laugh as well, which helps.

Good chips we'll priced friendly service 😋

Amazing food and lovely staff always hot and portion size are amazing Always use this chip shop would not go anywhere else

Excellent food. The best chippy in the area.

Proper fish and chips, like how they should be made. Delicious, highly recommend.

Love the fish and chips at Frydays, my regular chippy in Colchester. Portions are big and the fish always tastes great with friendly staff members.

Fantastic customer service, polite and friendly staff, food absolutely amazing totally recommend this fish and chip shop to all.

Love this chip shop. Foods always great and staff are incredibly friendly and smiley

Fantastic customer service, polite and friendly staff, food absolutely amazing totally recommend this fish and chip shop to all.

Best fish and chips , quick service and friendly staff clean place

Living in Spain, whenever I come back to the UK I look forward to a cheese & onion pasty and cheesy chips from a proper chippy. After looking on Google, this place had good reviews, so after driving over from Stansted, we headed over with high expectations. We weren't disappointed! Friendly staff with a good sense of humour and very chatty, but efficient at the same time. The food was prepared quickly. The quality was probably the best we've had in a long time, and I think maybe even better than our previous best ever which we had down in Cornwall. We don't enjoy having to come back to the UK,, but at least now we have at least one thing to look forward to. We'll definitely be back on our next trip. Thanks

Very good food friendly staff and fresh cooking

One of the best chippy for miles. Portion sizes are good and the food is always lovely.

i live on ipswich road and i go to frydays almost every single day. hands down the best fish and chips in colchester, highly recommend. great job guys!

I was in the area last week with friends and came in to get some food I was disgusted with the Essex chavette u have working there her language was disgusting and health and safety she should not be wearing jewellery working with food that is a health and safety hazard also she would not listen to anyone when asked to do something but the other young lady there was so polite I think you need to get rid of the chavette or you are going to lose customers

Very disappointed on their chicken

Best chippy going staff are so friendly and welcoming 🥰

Pommes waren nicht gut und lebsch, Kollege hat instant diarrhea von den fish & chips, alles in allem besser als das restliche Essen in England.

Just had food from here for the first time. Top food And whoever was serving was real nice 🤝

Sausage and chips and can drink 2 times please

This 'plaice' is amazing and for my girls.... their 'go to' dinner haunt

Excellent food, great staff....

Very disappointed. Got home and the chips were really undercooked. I normally go to Johnny Mac's but I thought that it would be nice to try somewhere different. This was a letdown

Quality Cheese Burger and Chips with Curry sauce. Very tasty and freshly cooked to order.

Lovley food. I had chicken burger, was great. Good size portions too.

Definitely the best Fish & Chip Shop in Colchester

The best Cod in batter that I have ever had , chips were excellent too , would highly recommend, Also the staff were happy to chat as well and were very friendly

They get something wrong EVERY TIME. Food quality is getting progressively worse each time. Won’t be ordering from here again which is a shame because they used to be excellent.

Probably the best fish & chips in this area. The fish always taste fresh and moist, never a dried out texture, possibly because it is cooked as ordered straight from the display chilli in front of their customers. The batter is always crisp and never soft or doughy. although a little beer could improve on the batter recipe. Give it a go guys and girls add some Ale or Beer to your batter recipe mix. Guaranteed to be a much more desired taste. I bet the queuing and customers will come from miles if this small improvement was added to the taste. A slab of lemon on fish orders is a must. I would like to see this, Chips are always golden crisp just the way we like them. Food always rapped in paper bags never used plastic carriers which make the food sweat in they own steam, this means the food remains crisp during transportation. also good for our environment. Keep up the good service so far. Served by The lovely Jade and Phyl Milner and just look what they have done with the place. Table service, please book in advance. Delicious piece of cod.

Just had a swim at Colchester leisure pool, and you always need chips after a swim. Went to Fryday which is 5 mins round the corner and had the best freshly fried chips. Great size portion. It’s really clean and the guy frying was really friendly. Thanks!

Best fish n chips in colchester by far. All cooked to order.

wHAT A SUPER FIND. BEST FISH AND CHIPS I HAVE TASTED. BEUTIFUL CRISP BATTER AND COOKED TO PERFECTION. THANK YOU.

Wolly 10 out of 10. Nice chips lovely fish.

Great fish and chips, really fresh

Ordered fish n chip Great fish great service

Only had chips but they were good, popular on a Sunday evening

A really good take away. They deliver too. The chips are just how you would want fish shop chips to be. Recommended.

This Chippy we frequent quite regularly because the food is always consistently good. Sometimes theres a bit of trouble outside with some of the clientel either over parking or something else but cant blame the chippy for that

This is not the same fish and chips I collect from the shop. Flavour and smell different and of course the flavour a very different one. I wonder if is different shop, not delivered again thanks

Really great chip shop! Lovely chips, sausages and kebab meat! Highly recommend!

I think I have just paid for the most expensive battered fish I have ever paid for! A large Haddock at £7.50. WOW. I'm sure it will be well cooked and nice, as it always is from here. However he's the thing for the owners...our visits will be less often...at these prices.

Always good food, keenly priced. Friendly staff and cooked fresh to order.

Used to be our local chippy but tonight again 3rd and last time take out with deliveroo horrible greasy batter and chips. They have gone from the best to worst so sad. Wondering if if it is Wednesday nights or nee management!

Best fish and chips in Colchester

Chips cooked fresh to order. Very clean and fast service

Always a great meal from here - good food, perfectly cooked and fantastic portion size. The staff are always welcoming and friendly- esp Jade who deserves a lot of praise for her customer service and organisational skills at front of shop. Never had a bad meal or experience here (even during the lock-downs). Would recommend Frydays to everyone. Definitely one of, if not the best fish and chip shop in Essex. 10/10

Very friendly service. Best chips in town.

We came to Colchester to visit family and we came in to get some fish and chips the food was excellent and the service was up and beyond the young that served us I think her name was jade she was so polite and happy to b in work even talking about where we come from I could not fault anything so well done jade I think that was ur name when we come to visit again we will b coming bk in I will mark it as 100 out of 100 top marks

I came in the shop while I was on holiday the food was excellent and the young girl who served us she looked happy in her work always had a smile on her face and was talkative to me I will come back in again when I come back to visit and I am sure the young girls name was jade well done 10 out of 10 keep smiling 🥰🥰

I am in Colchester for a little holiday with friends, and was recommended here. Really didn't disappoint the food was great, and the service was fantastic. I think her name was Jade, she was very polite and friendly, even spoke to us about our holiday! We will definitely return, thank you again Jade! 😏💛

Just got fish and chips from Frydays and the batter on the fish was soggy, funny smell to the chips with an after taste, won't be going there again.

Excellent Customer service Very respectful gentleman Food was resupplied fresh and warm. Portions were superb. God bless the company and efforts.

First time here today & will definitely go back again. Lovely fresh fish tasted lovely. Chips were yummy & cooked just how I love them. Will definitely go back again.

Great quality, large portions and fair price, best in Colchester.

Greasy chips, made me feel sick wont use them again, shame as very convenient
