Geo's Fishbar in Tendring

What a fantastic place, me an my mum stumbled across this beautiful chippy today an got fantastic service along with amazing food. We both had a kids meal an it was sufficient enough for us. Mum had fishcake an chips and I had popcorn chicken an chips and was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful meal and conversation. We will return to try out different food options.

Been coming to Geo’s for over 15 years when we holiday at Clacton on Sea. Upon arrival we Felt extremely rushed to order and hardly saw the waitress again until the bill was presented. The quality has really fallen . Our bottoms hadn’t time to warm the chairs before we were asked what we wanted . We had Skate & Chips & Cod & Chips . We also ordered two draft beers. The beers tasted like they had been watered down. The fish was overcooked & the quality seems to have fallen despite the prices being increased. Doubt we will be frequenting Geo’s ever again when we holiday at Clacton. After the bill was presented we still gave the usual 20% tip totalling £50.00 but the waitress never even returned so we ended up giving the bill and the tip to the fish fryer. With reference to your questions , The date was Friday the 13th September 2024 @ about 6pm. The waitress never gave her name & I never asked . Kind Regards, Geoff & Becky

Quick service, really tasty food...and lots of it!

TERRIBLE. Food was literally tasteless,the fish batter tasted like plain fried flour and the fish itself wasn't flaky.Waitress was also extremely rude. Avoid,much better fish and chips close by.

Great traditional fish and chips. We ordered medium haddock - it was large plus a mini portion on the same plate. Plaice was fried to perfection all cooked fresh. Much enjoyed - I will certainly return.

The fish and chips are amazing, the batter is lovely and crisp, the fish is fresh, excellent customer service, will definitely be returning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great quality fish and chips, prepared promptly, and at a reasonable price.

Nice bit of fish and chips good service all round

The fish was a disaster.... It tasted like minced fish, no flavor, no spices, lots of breading. I don't recommend this place. £2 for 2 tiny sauces 🤣🫣 Service as if they were working as punishment...

Walked in greeted by a really bubbly lady and friendly male the food was delicious but to many chips but that didn't bother me would highly recommend and will definitely come again next time on holiday

I feel conflicted as it used to be brilliant pre-COVID. Ever since it has been a game of roulette when getting fish and chips here, sometimes you'll have the best you've ever eaten, others you will be eating cardboard. Service here is the only thing which has not changed where they are all wonderful people

I can honestly say this was Rock and Chips I have eaten it was absolutely perfect and it was cooked to perfection beautiful white fish and lovely batter and lovely chips and very big portions .

We came down for a day trip to Clacton and as unfamiliar with area googled for a good fish and chip restaurant. We decided to try yours as was highly recommended which we passed onto our waitress as we sat down.We both ordered the cod special at £14.95 each with baked beans as an extra for one of us.Unfortunately when it arrived although it looked lovely I was very disappointed at the actual size of fish inside the batter.I brought it to the attention of the waitress and she very kindly changed it.However our teas were a different matter,when we had drunk our teas we both looked inside our mugs and there was a dreadful mess left inside and it looked like scum around the inside of both mugs.Again I brought it to the attention of your staff,it was a man clearing the tables and said I think you may need to do something about your tea he looked at me and asked me what the problem was after I showed him both the mugs and he asked us what he was looking at,I showed him the inside of the mugs and his reply was "We use PG Tips tea bags".I have never drunk a cup of tea before and had remains like we had today.Unfortunately our experience today did not live up to your reviews.

Fish was very thin and tasteless, chips were all bits and pieces. and tea was scummy

Amazing place. One of the best in this town.

5 star food hygiene rating. Very clean. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent cooked fish, lovely crispy batter not dripping in fat like some. Very clean toilets. Didn't have to wait lone even though they were very busy.

the best in North Essex, service, food and presentation is faultless, very friendly

Polite friendly and helpful even helped me take the family order to the outside table. The chips are lovely and the cod is probably the best I have had in a long time, the batter was nice and light not greasy. 100/100

Popular local fish and chips shop in the centre of Clacton-on-Sea in a busy shopping parade located next to Lloyds bank. The shop is popular with visitors. After being seated you are promptly presented with a menu. The fish is extremely fresh and crispy with the chips well done with a cup of tea. Although the surroundings are slightly dated you can spend a peaceful 30 minutes to yourself.

Lovely fish and chips restaurant, staff are always polite and friendly. The fish and chips are awesome 👌

Great Fish, nice thin batter, chunky fish flakes. Chips are huge. 2 is enough for a family of 4. It has a restaurant, but we were on a budget. There are a few tables inside the shop. Watch out for gulls outside.

First time here at Geo’s and it didn’t disappoint. We were shown to our table and it was fairly busy. I’ve lived in Clacton for just over 8 years now and for some reason unbeknown to me I hadn’t tried this establishment. What a treat I had missed. The food was absolutely to die for and decent portion sizes too. I had the haddock, chips and curry sauce my friend had the half cod and chips with for me a decent cup of tea and my friend a nice coffee. We were looked after by 2 lovely ladies Mandy and Kyra who made sure we wanted for nothing, they were so attentive and as soon as a table was empty it was cleared away and disinfected ready for the next customer. A good sign of a good establishment. Will definitely be back. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Lovely food and lovely staff love ya all and careing about my son

My lunch arrived piping hot. It was fresh & presented well. It was also delicious. Pricing is good as is the variety on the menu Well worth a visit Bon appetite

By far the best fish and chip restaurant ever!! Food is fresh, delicious and they certainly don't scrimp on the portions! Staff and service is great! You have to visit Geo's Fish Bar when you are in Clacton - you won't be disappointed!!

As I live in one of the most inland planes in the country I make a point of having a chippy whenever I'm by the sea. So I've had a lot. This is by far one of the best fish and chips I've had. A very healthy piece of cod, very meaty. A lovely light crist batter. Good chips. A real winner. It's a touch pricier than usual but you do get what you pay for. My other half has a much smaller appetite so she had the half cod and chips and it was still a really decent portion and the good end of the fillet used so still really meaty. She couldn't even finish it. Good job I was on hand. The staff were friendly and the service was nice and swift. It has a lovely nostalgia to it, it feels like a proper old school chippy but it's still very clean and well maintained. If you're in the area it's well worth a visit.

Really nice chips in my opinion it's the best in Clacton great service fast food

Yesterday I went to the beach to look for lunch. I searched Google and followed the directions and came to Geo's fishbar. After eating, I felt that it was really good value for money and good value for money. The fries were fresh and the fried fish was crispy and soft. The store was very neat and clean. Thank you. This store provides everyone with good taste, and I will come again.

Absolutely lovely dinner, haddock chips and savaloy all cooked perfectly and very very tasty. Great service 100% recommend this place

Great food and staff. I always eat here when I come to England from Germany. I am try place. The staff are always friendly. This is the only place for me to eat when I come to the UK

Best chip shop / restaurant in Clacton great food great staff good prices for a town centre seaside resort beewise security highly recommends geos never too much trouble all cooked fresh .

Good traditional freshly cooked food, been going for over 12 years. Although it changed owners last year the food is still great, there is also a small bar.

Honestly the best fish & chips! Always get a lovely cod & lovely chips, amazing value, what’s not to love? Thanks so much! X

Lovely day at Clacton and finish of at the best fish and chips shop

I came an ordered some food on a rainy day to sit in the car down the seafront with my family, I ordered a large chips £4.30 1 large battered sausage £2.50 1 large plain sausage £2.50 and a savaloy £2.50 2 buttered rolls £1 each and a curry sauce £1.60, Now I know a lot of places have raised they’re prices which is understandable but to charge me £4.30 for a large chips and then give me a portion the size of a small is just ridiculous, the price wouldn’t be so bad if portion size was actually correct, and for the buttered rolls an absolute rip off of £1 each look like they’ve been sitting out for weeks !!!! Can safely say as someone who lives in the area I will not be using them again in the future

Great food fair price large portions would recommend as a staple to visit when here

Dripping with thick greasy oil, one mouthful then put it in the bin. Not very good for adults especially for children. Will not return.

Best fish and chips I've had for long time always make a point off going once a week and dine in.

Sat in the restaurant, had large rock n chips x2 also 2 cups of tea and a wally. The food was nice, and the service was good. I have not sat in the restaurant for some time and realised why £33 for my food. I'm not knocking the shop for its food or service, just highlighting the cost.

Nice food really nice and fresh lovely service and drinks

The Wife and I popped into Clacton Town and did a bit of shopping. Then decided to have something to eat, so headed straight for Geo's as it's the best in town, we had a smashing meal ( Cod and chips, slice of bread and hot drink £13.95 each ) absolutely beautiful, I highly recommend Geo's and have been there many times. They never disappoint, good food, good service what more could you ask for.

Not sure how they have such good reviews honestly wouldn’t recommend

I love this place. Great food good nice and lovely staff

The food was lovely. Some of the best chips l've tasted. The service was great. Lovely atmosphere. No rush. I felt completely relaxed. Definitely want to come back again. Value for money

Really enjoyed the food. Nice and hot and just the right amount to eat. Weren't stingy with food either.

Very good fish n chips shop/ restaurant. Big chips, tasty cod , would highly recommend 🌞⭐️

Quick and friendly service. Big portions. Highly recommended 👍

Good fresh hot cod , great chips .... simple....

This has to be one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the UK. The best batter, top chips and fresh, flavoursome fish. Friendly and fast service. A must visit for Clacton visitors.

Excellent fish and chips.friendly and chatty staff.highly recommend.

Been here once before & we were impressed with the taste & quality of the fish & chips. So our expectations were high on our second visit only to be disappointed. The fish was greasy & not much fish, just batter. The chips & mushy peas were okay though. If in the area again we will give this place a miss.

Great fish and chips. Lovely to eat after a day at the beach. Good customer service too. It's a bit oily but that's expected. PS. go to the McDonalds across the road for free ketchup

Great place to stop by for fish and chips with a cuppa tea. I had the skate cooked to perfection. My mate had cod. We had bread and butter too. The service was excellent. The toilets are up a steep set of stairs.

Great fish and chips and friendly service

Awful always went to Geos fish restaurant tried to serve me not fresh fish and chips heated up, sorry but that's not in order

Great food excellent service and very relaxed and welcoming Atmosphere, strongly recomnend

All freshly cooked portions are large 😁

Very busy, nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and good service. There were three of us, and we were very lucky to get a table. You can book a table and pre-order your food, which a lot of people had done! It was our first time here, and we are going to make it our go to Fish and Chip shop! I was delighted to see my favourites on the menu and our Northern Friend found his too. There is something to please everyone here!

Good Chippy Best in CLACTON Lovely staff V quick Sometimes a wait on Friday and Saturday but worth it trust me I am a Sea Fisherman and enjoy cooking so I am often critical but can only say I highly recommend 😄👍🐟👍😇

I can honestly say that this is the best fish and chips in clacton. The staff are so friendly and you don't have to wait ages for your meal. Service is quick. You can get a beer or a cuppa. Highly recommended.

Clean. Excellent customer service from the staff. Best cod, chips and mushy peas I've had all year.

Exelent service great fish and chips staff always smiling and very efficient

Lovely food went the extra mile to have our fish to be cooked separately from other food products

We are in the restaurant today. Excellent service, nothing was to much trouble. Food was great.

Brilliant chippy. Always friendly and never had bad food.

Absolutely brilliant experience! Went there today and had the best fish and scampi we had ever tasted. The portions were large, food was fresh and sauce was generously provided. The service from Peter and his colleagues Frankie and Mandy, was 10/10, as was the food. We even went back later in the day for dessert. Thoroughly recommend this establishment for delicious food and excellent service, it made our trip to Clacton really special. We had a first class welcome and dining experience from start to finish!

Friendly staff only a short wait as it was rather busy as usual eat in and take away available

Lovely fish an chips served very quickly specual offers for pensioners

Excellent quality fish and chips, cooked fresh and served in good time by friendly staff member.

Lovely polite and friendly staff Meals are freshly cooked / could not fault the food the best cod and chips we have had in years. The only thing that let it down for us was the toilets,long stairs to walk up and the toilets them selfs need a good clean , hand dryer waste of time in the ladies and no paper towels and no loo roll in one toilet the men's hand dryer doesn't work and no paper towels.

Having superb fish and chips with my wife in the restaurant. Can't imagine being better, wife ordered a white wine and they even offered a choice of wine. Wonderful thx u

Visited Clacton on 2nd May, weather was sunny but a bit of a keen cooling breeze but enjoyed my stay. Had seen this fish & chip shop ad I walked down towards the pier and decided to give it a try. They have takeaway and table service and I was l greeted with a nice smile from the lady in the seated area. It’s not that large but was about a quarter full. The lady took my order quickly and served me with my cup of tea and a round of bread and butter. There’s a good selection of fish on the menu, burgers, pies. I ordered plaice and chips, it was lovely, batter nice and crisp and a huge portion overflowing the edge of the plate. It’s cooked to order so lovely and hot too. The service was great, it started to get busier and the lady serving was really busy looking after us all. Overall a very good experience. Thoroughly recommend.

The only place to visit in Clacton for traditional fish and chips. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Great food good service reasonably priced will go back again

Lovely place and great service. Beautiful chips.

Fantastic food and a fantastic service, nothing more to add 👍

Fantastic restaurant and quality food Lovely staff and good value for money Come here every time in Clacton

Highly recommended fish and chips highly recommended very helpful staff great prices

Genuinely and I mean this most sincerely, the place is wonderful. The food divine. I just love it there . Most recommended.

Lovely fish and chips and really friendly staff.. the seating area is hidden away behind the counter, so it's not obvious it's there, but so glad we found it..

Really good meal was had by all. Granddaughter had chicken nuggets and beans as ate all.

Probably the best fish & chip place in Clacton-on-Sea. Consistently good. I lived in nearby St Osyth for a while a few years ago and they were always good. Brilliant chips, and you can ask for seperate batter 'scraps', free of charge. I went for some chips visiting the Clacton Airshow, 26/8/22 and was delighted to enjoy the same quality I had remembered. Near to the pier too. Fairly priced. I think a medium portion was £2.10p. Was delicious!

This place we sat in and it bought back memories of days gone by as a child, with the decor. The scampi and cod along with the chips were good. Service fair and prices not bad.

Super hot fresh proper chips.... Great friendly service as you'd expect from one of Clacton's oldest + undoubtedly the best fish + chip shop😁😁😁

Great deal on the special when we went and good portion sizes. Cod was lovely nice and flakey fish fillet crispy batter with no soggy greasy bits. Only let down was the lack of flexibility to change the cup of tea to a kids drink on the special. Would recommend still though.
