Over priced just below average, fish is never consistently cooked, customers forced to stand outside in all weathers to wait when busy, me my choice is oysters or the quay bar by notley Tesco's. To be avoided, people convince themselves yeah I paid a small fortune so they must be nice, they are rank. Be honest with yourself I mean I live 2 mins from this place, but would rather drive 3 miles, they are average at best.

Food is fine but an absolute shambles, I canโ€™t give it more than 1 star. Was told there was no haddock only to watch multiple other people order haddock, then waited 40 minutes for cod and chips.

Portion sizes are OK. Chips are always very oily. Burgers neat and chicken are OK, but there is always something missing from the order. Eg. Mayo on burger instead of the ordered burger sauce. Onions added when I said I can't them. Curry sauce is missing from order. We have been back to see if the van food was a one-off, but nope, it's covered in oil. We don't use it anymore.

Without doubt this is now the best chippy in braintree I drive for about ten minutes past the one on my doorstep to go here. Its spotlessly clean, extremely friendly. Something I've never seen before is the fish is kept in a chiller cabinet in front of you when you walk in. This means not only will it be freshly cooked but you can choose it pre cooking.

Fish is great but chips are dreadful, I would suggest they had been pre cooked and sat in the warmer for ages because they are hard and dry,

My husband has been buying fish & chips from this establishment for years. I have noticed, possibly this last year, that the chips are hard and not very hot. I would venture to suggest that they are cooked earlier and then left in the warming area until customers arrive. This may not be the reason but I can't think that freshly cooked chips would be this way. On the plus side, the fish and batter is great.

Had really high hopes for the new chipshop... but unfortunately it is just as bad as its prediceser Henleys.... ordered fish and chips, got them home to find out they couldn't be bothered to get rid of the chips they didn't sell at lunchtime.... so let's re fry them in the evening.... soggy, tasteless and like bullets.... fish was OK... not very impressed for a tenner.... Will not be revisiting

Were rather hesitant after hearing it called โ€˜the best chip shop in Braintreeโ€™ as that creates high expectations. However, upon trying the chips last week, we very much agree! These are the best chip shop chips weโ€™ve found. Weโ€™ve not tried any other food from there as weโ€™re vegan with strict allergies so only losing a star for lack of other choices for us. But will def be back for chips!

The Chipshop used to be Henleys but now has definitley established itself as Johns of Braintree. There were times standards were inconsistent. The chips are now always freshly cooked, soft and consistent like proper old school. We have cod that is always nicely battered and tasty. Staff are polite and friendly please keep up the good work.

Since this shop has changed to Johns they do things slightly differently they now double fry their chips, which makes them nice and crispy. The Kebab has also improved, meat tastes better and portion size is really good. I think some peoples reviews may be bias because previous owner was there some time and built up relationships. would defiantly recommend

What has gone wrong at Henley's? It's changed its name to John's of Braintree but the quality and service has dropped off drastically. We've been using this chippy for 20 years and it's always been fantastic, great options and cooked quickly to order ... Even on a Friday evening. But tonight I waited 25 minutes for a kids fish and chips and a pie and chips. That's not fast food. They have changed head fryer and old quick system has gone. Chips are fried differently and tasted awful. The order was messed up and they offered a large fish as a goodwill gesture but that defeats the object of a kids fish and chips. Something's gone very wrong at what used to be Braintree's best chippy. Sadly, after all these years, I will be going elsewhere from now on.

Impressive portions of chips and you get a choice of the size of fish you want which is usually cooked while you wait. The fish was cooked beautifully and the other items were cooked to perfection (saveloys etc...). The batter was beautifully crispy, had to have pickled onion and bread and butter for a chip butty - mmmmmmmmmmm.......

Portions are good and all round good value for money. Always accurate and speedy service. Obviously a short wait time at peak prime times ie.
