Bit greasy the fish if I'm honest very busy, young lad cooked up my order but heyho asked for three cod & chips and two battered sausages with chips and ended up with battered sausage and chips twice lol. Easy mistake I guess .

Pleasant staff serving standard chippy fair, decent portions, my only criticism would be that my cod was a bit on the thin side...medium cod, chips and mushy peas £12.50

Have to say after my first delivery of fish & chips I was very disappointed but, my opinion has since changed. Had fish & chips last night & it was delicious. Couldn't fault it. November 30th 2023. Waited 1hr & 30mins for our order that arrived warm! NOT IMPRESSED!

Just ordered a takeaway for three from John's and we're really impressed. From ordering online to delivery was less than twenty minutes. We had medium cod and regular chips, also spring rolls with halloumi bites chips with curry sauce, they were all delicious and piping hot with generous servings. The batter on the fish was lovely and crunchy, the best I've had in a long while. Will definitely be using John's Fish and chips again. 🐠🍟🙂

We have been buying from John's for at least 8 years, but its not quite as good as it once was. Two specials ordered for take away - Fish was very dry with more batter than fish and the chips were just lots of small bits and pieces. Its now very expensive, £18.60 for two specials and a jumbo savaloy. Going to try somewhere else next time.

It's a takeaway fish and chip shop. Does the job! It can be a bit of a wait (10 mins) when it's busy. They do gluten free fish and chips as well as halloumi bites. It's always been great, in my opinion. I think it's well priced as well, particular for gluten free food. I very rarely get to eat food like this, so it's great that it's available.

Whenever I’m in Hailsham, I always get Haddock and Chips for myself and my wife and we are never disappointed. The chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy potato inside. The Haddock is always cooked perfectly and the batter is delicious. I have no hesitation in recommending Johns fish and chips to everybody - they are how a true fish & chip takeaway should be.

We ordered fish and chips and I put the wrong address for the order ( was with friends and out of habit put my home address.) i phoned to find out what had happened to the order and I very quickly realised that the mistake was mine. Johns Fish Bar sent us a replacement order -,even though the fault was mine. The food was hot and really great. Thank you for really wonderful service and excellent Fish and Chips.

Was really looking forward to fish and chips as haven’t had for a while and is now relatively expensive for what you get and I have to say was disappointed as the chips and saveloy were cold and the fish was only hot when you got to the middle

They deserve six *!! The fish and chips here are the stuff of dreams. Batter that is so crisp it shatters in your mouth, fish that is delicious and chips that are a meal in themselves. Friendly staff and a good price. It doesn't get better than this. ;) Since writing my review I've become gluten intolerant. Not a problem for these guys. Separately fried fish and chips in gluten free batter means I still get to enjoy a favourite 👍

I cannot believe how rude the lady we just spoke to on the phone was. Absolutely appalling service, rude, condescending and downright petulant. She shouted at us.

Absolutely awful, ordered 1/2 chicken chips, large cod chips, saveloy and plain sausage, firstly had to wait ages for it, got home opened the cod and chips, cod stuck to the chips literally fell apart and nothing of it, ( definitely not a large cod) I saw her microwave the saveloy, plain sausage dry and rubbery, the chicken greasy, we all felt sick all night, will never eat there again.

Brilliant. Considering the Brits are known for their fish and chips, a lot of places don't get it right but John's certainly do! Beautifully cooked chips and a deliciously crispy, flavoursome batter. The cod special is just the right size and a steal at £4.75. It's great I don't have to travel outside of my town to find a decent fish bar 👌

I don't know what has happened to this place, it used to do amazing fish and chips and other food. After having chicken and chips from there yesterday evening I have been up half the night being very very sick. The same thing happened to my husband a few months ago after eating a battered sausage from there. We gave it another go but after yesterday's experience we will not be back I'm afraid. They must have some serious hygiene standards issues which I'm inclined to report. The food was also very greasy and tasteless. You may do well to avoid.

This place used to be one of the best places in the area for fish and chips and other food, but sadly it seems to have massively deteriorated. Apart from the extremely slow delivery times, last night I had chicken and chips from here and woke up in the early hours feeling very ill and ended up being very sick throughout the night. A few months back the same thing happened to my husband after eating a battered sausage from there. We gave it another chance thinking we may just have been very unlucky, but clearly not! They obviously have very poor food hygeine standards. Oddly I looked through the official published list of food hygeine ratings and they weren't even on there. I am now going to contact Wealden Food Safety Team to see if they can investigate.

We have always thoroughly enjoyed our food from here, but today’s fish & chips was a huge disappointment. The chips were wet and oily and my rock was more batter than fish. However, the cod was good. Perhaps the wrong variety of potato used?

Recommended by family member who has been many times before. We took a ride out from Dartford to Eastbourne and stopped off here to see for ourselves what the fish was like. We knew it was cash only so not a problem. We arrived when it opened at midday and placed our order and it was cooked to order and brought to our table. The entire meal served on a warm plate and food nice and hot too and served directly from the fryer. We had the cod which was cooked to perfection, with light crispy batter and flakes of white fish (no grey in sight like some other fish we have had elsewhere). Chips so nice, proper chip shop chips and all washed down with a nice cup of strong tea. If you’re in the area or out for a drive as we were, then definitely pay this place a visit. Nice warm and friendly welcome is waiting for you and some smashing fish and chips.

The owner is such a gentleman in this place. Other staff very pleasant too. Food is very nice hence why it's my favorite place in the town for a takeaway. They deserve good business as they are good people.

I drove past one fish bar locally and it was empty this one had a queue of 6 waiting, and for good reason. I joined the queue and got cod and chips within 5 mins( four staff). They deserve credit because it was good quality fish and I had so many chips I couldn't eat them all.
