The best fish n chips I have ever had. The fish is like eating a thick piece of meat. The batter is just right. Delicious thick cut chips. The delivery service is very good. Delivered within 30-45 minutes and piping hot. 5 plus stars everytime.

The reason I have no stars for atmosphere is that I had it delivered to me. This is such lovely fish and chips. Big pieces of fish that are delicious and chips just cooked right. I had a gherkin and my partner had pickled onion and buttered roll. We have ordered 3 times now, because we love there fish and it comes in a lovely oblong box separate from the chips. The delivery girl is so pleasant and the best I have ever experienced. She is so friendly and polite. Will continue to order from Golden Friars, as I think there the best delivery service for fish & chips.

Came to Shoeburyness East beach, the nearest fish and chips takeaway closes at 2pm. Found this place not far from East Beach. Glad we did! Nice takeaway restaurant, prices are very competitive (especially with London prices) And services is brilliant. Was served by a lovely Turkish Lady. Very polite and friendly. Will definitely buy from here next time!

Absolutely disappointed with tonight’s food. Always have a golden friars with my mum as the kebabs are lovely. Was at the in-laws tonight so thought would treat them. Seemed as though it didn’t come from the same place at all. Was plain, bland and completely different salad and no taste whatsoever. It also took an hour & 20 mins to arrive. Even the chilli sauce was pants and that usually blows my head off.

We picked up some chips here on Friday night. I had to wait for two batches of fresh chips before I could get my order. It was an extraordinarily long wait but the chips were cooked well. Not the best potato I’ve had but a very nice crisp. I would return but hope for quicker service next time. Friendly staff including delivery driver.

HAS NOW CHANGED HANDS! BIG IMPROVEMENT 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐👌 RENOWN CHIPPY. Very average, everything hot and tasty but that's about it, chips OK batter on fish poor, kebabs OK, chicken is probably the best thing they do, reasonably priced, about right for the area! Everything tastes the same? Must be the oil they use??

We had an order delivered. They deliver from about 5pm. We had haddock, small chips and salad. Haddock is huge. Tasty. I docked a star as the batter came away a bit with the paper - maybe a cardboard box or foil container might work better. Small chips is a generous portion. Really nice and tasty. Salad is in a foil container and is so fresh. Cucumber, tomatoes, onions etc. Trying to use fast food chains a bit less and use local independent businesses like this instead. Recommended.

I love this place! I have a cod special and kebab salad and chilli sauce, homemade Mayonnaise. I get a couple of wraps and create my own shawarma. The food is freshly prepared and presented. This is a popular chippy and just lovely. There are a couple of tables if you're wanting to eat in. Prices are very reasonable the service is just perfect. You'll have to wait a few minutes to get your order if not ready. Great menu including kebabs and various chicken meals as well as your normal chippy menu..

Good quality skinned cod, and decent value for money. Have gone here many times in the past and they always deliver a decent meal. The fish has definitely improved since I first started trying this place out, and unlike most chippies, the fish is skinned,which I know is a big selling point for some people I know. Would definitely recommend.

Return visit. Was having some outside work done and wanted to feed the hungry workers. Food — Very friendly lady served me. Ordered small portions of chips at just £1.20 each. Freshly cooked and super hot. Hit the spot on a very cold day. Veggies — There’s some options such as Veggie Burger, Egg roll. Not sure if the Spring rolls are meat free. There are also lots of side dishes eg Salad, Peas, Beans. Parking — There’s free parking nearby (opposite Friars school). Delivery — Picked up a leaflet and found out they deliver from 4/4.30pm. It’s free on orders over £10 or a £1 charge.

We're trying to eat at different places for take aways. Golden Friars is near the Friars Community Centre so there's lots of parking nearby. It's also near The Base which offers pizzas. We had chips, saveloy, fried chicken & bread rolls for about £8. Chose medium portions of chips. This was very generous size so will opt for a small portion next time. Really filling meal for £8. The lady serving was very friendly. Knew everybody's regular orders as soon as they walked in. You're just a short drive to East Beach from here so they make an ideal take away picnic before a fresh sea air walk. The chips were generous and very large. Cooked well. Will revisit.
