It took a while for my delivery to arrive, but it was worth the wait. The best fish & chips we’ve eaten in a long time. Lovey chips👍👍 it was all lovely, but no chippy cooks chips like you do.

I must've accidentally clicked delivery. I had to collect my order, in the dark on my mobility scooter. so glad it wasn't too far. Must've been my own fault. But it was worth it. My dinner was still warm and me and m .y cat Tommy thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thankyou Jonny Mac

Usually nice. Sadly the quality wasn’t as good as usual. Very Greasy Onion rings, many Chips not edible. Think it’s better not to be ordering too close to the closing time as we’ve had this before.

Driver was on time but stood on the doorstep shouting for a code. We had no idea where or what the code was. we found the email which said last 4 digits of phone no. didnt work. we had the order no. didnt work. He had the food in his open bag so by the time we had called the restaurant and asked them the food was cold. we finally found the code on the app. we've never had to give a code before. it was not the restaurants fault but Just Eat need to make it clearer or train the drivers.

havent been here for ages, as it went down hill some time back. But thought i go here tonight, as jonny macs used to be the best chipshop in colchester. and tonight the batterd sausages were not fresh they were rock soild and dry and the batter was dead flat and cracked, so can tell its been in the heater for quite some time. it really seems as if they have different cooks as JONNY would never allow old food to be sold to customers. what a let down. this place was the best back in 2020 to 2022.. its ashame it aint the same as it used to be. thanks, Lance

If you are coeliac this is not safe to eat at. My wife has been poisoned and is suffering badly. If you are a ‘lifestyle by choice’ gluten free you won’t be affected but if you are clinically coeliac I would not eat here or you will be I’ll. whatever processes are in place there is gluten contamination.
