Chips under cooked, Curry sauce pot open in bag, sauce everywhere, they blamed driver instead or their second rate plastic containers. £2.49 service charge, what service? 99p delivery charge. Ordered and paid for two picked onions at £1.25 each, they only delivered one but charged for two. When we phoned to complain we were told they could not do anything about it now, you could tell they were not that interested. They said we could have 50% off the next order, what makes them think there will be another order. Paid by paypal so they could have offered a part refund, but they didn't want to do that. Going to try and get paypal to claw back the payment and then pay them an amount that better fits the food and service we received. Its sad when you are simply a number and the poor service you received means nothing to them, they just move on to the next customer. Not good enough, I serve the public and would never dream of leaving one of my customers unhappy...

Long established "old fashioned" eat in fish restaurant in Rayleigh high street. Really nice haddock & chips - nice to see haddock offered as well as cod etc ! Friendly, helpful service, "sensible" prices (given general inflation, staff costs and so on).

This place used to be great, but has gradually become worse, won't be going back. The guy doing the frying looks permanently miserable, no acknowledgement when we walked in from the 3 staff behind the counter. Waited 10 minutes for someone to actually take our takeaway order. Once home, found the fish and chips were both undercooked, the chips especially so. Threw the lot in the bin. Expensive rubbish.

For my birthday (03/04) I decided to treat myself to fish and chips from Kings, I used the Just Eat link for the first time and paid the £14.29. I received a text to say it would be with me at 17.15, by 17.40 I still hadn't receive my meal. At 17.54 I received at call from at carer at an address (Finchfield) around the corner from me, I live in Britton Crt, to say my order had been there for over 30mins. I immediately rang Kings to complain and was told "its not their problem" I need to contact 'Just Eat', I asked if they could give me a contact number for the driver of the company, I was told 'no we can't help with that, you need to go on the website'. I did not want to join 'Just Eat' it was a one off order, I tried every which way to contact them; I was met with a brick wall, the website told me I had to join, which I did, when I tried to complain, the website came back with 'no orders'. A week later and I am still trying to get satisfaction for my cold and inedible meal, Kings would not reimburse me and I still am unable to contact 'Just Eat'. I think it's despicable!!!

I regularly meet up with a friend in Rayleigh and we always eat here and been very satisfied. We were pleased to return a few weeks ago and as we like to have the skate we didn't bother with a menu. We were somewhat surprised when given the bill to see that the price had increased to £16.95. I appreciate that eating places have had a hard time and can't sit as many people but this place has a lot of regulars and it would seem they are being made to make up the shortfall.

Disappointed. Made a special journey from Basildon on Wednesday because it said online that it was open till 10, only to find at 8:20 a girl sitting on the window ledge which struck me as unhygienic, and a man telling me they only had what was already cooked and that they'd finished frying. No fish, just a couple of pies and a savaloy. So we went round the corner to another fish and chip shop and had the best fish I've tasted for months.

Grabbed fish and chips from what is usually a good chip shop, however - quality poor, small portions of cod thick batter and barely a scraping of fish (also overcooked batter) and thin pancake cod roe all batter and lacking in roe. a large chips that I would not even regard as a small and a side gherkin thick skinned and mush in the inside. Mushy peas small portion...won’t be bisiting in a hurry.

They do a special for £8.25 of a smaller fish and chips, although it is plenty big enough, roll and butter and a cuppa. Their full menu is great but not extortionate. Best fish and chips for miles. Just wish they would give the place a coat of paint and brighten it up a bit.

What can I say. It was a Saturday night and 2 young girls serving at the takeaway counter were more interested in talking about the night ahead with their boyfriends watching the boxing. I then heard the both of them discussing that one of their fake eyelashes needing topping up whilst said eyelash wearer was rubbing eye with false nails to show friend how they coming out. Then to add insult to injury a customer came in and asked for fried chicken. He said he would be back in 5 mins and his chicken went in the microwave to heat up. What has happened to this place?? When I worked in catering we were not allowed fake eyelashes, long false nails, and talk about personal life went on behind doors. Will not use again and will advise against others using on a Saturday night

Kings is a great fish and chop shop, take away or you can sit in the restaurant. It is very busy at lunch time in the week as they have a great value set lunch. The main menu is reasonably priced too. My only teeny tiny moan would be that you only get a small cup of tea and not a pot but you do get free refill soft drinks. It's also licensed if you fancy a beer with your dinner which is always handy. The haddock is very tasty great batter and grease free chips and a reasonable price, perfect! The girls who work there are always busy but very friendly and great customer service.

Ordered rock and chips. Have always eaten Rock so I am familiar with the taste. What I got I had to spit out. Tasted like ammonia and this generally means the fish could be off. Asked waitress to talk to chef and he said it was fine without even smelling it. Was not interested in my money back but it was not edible and therefore offer would have been nice. I think places should be inspected more regular because this clearly is not right.

Ordered wing of skate - inside it was slimey - clinging to batter had to scrap it off to get to fish. Returned it to waitress who brought it back "saying if it wasn't cooked it would be red". I am 64 years old and have eaten skate many times - this was definitely undercooked! Also ordered a large cod and chips which was narrow, thin and tail end - not what we expected for a large cod - especially considering the price. Partner also asked for ketchup which never appeared. Over the years we have eaten here many times and been more than happy (with previous owners) but today it was awful and will not be returning.Only for it being Good Friday and not spoiling our day our I would have just returned fish again and left! Very disappointed.

First she told me to turn it over in case it was the wrong way up but after discovering that wasn't the case she was disinterested. My friend and I both paid £9.95 for our meals but I was definitely shortchanged because of the portion size. The cod looked lovely, I'd order that next time.

Re: my last review of Kings.("A cup of tea let this down")The fish n chips were great as usual but guess what? The tea was great too. I have not visited Rayleigh for a while as I no longer live in the area, so when Mrs offered me Cod and chips I jumped at the chance. When she said to me "How about the Kings in Rayleigh, at first I had my doubts. Not about the fish but the accompanying tea I always have with it. Well! Slap me round the kisser with a fresh caught cod, You certainly turned it around with the tea. Great, a nice strong cup and a solid colour, unlike that wishy washy stuff you used to serve up. A great meal, a great tea, so keep it up as we will return and review again in the not too distant future.

Simple, straightforward and OK. The menu was adequate and I selected fish and chips, which seemed sensible in a F&C restaurant.The chips had clearly been cooked for some time, but the fish was freshly cooked. There was that sort of floury barrier between the batter and the fish, which to me indicates that the batter was too thick as the fish was very well cooked inside.Decent cup of tea. I will go back, but won't rush back

It was ok - portion sizes are good for the money and the chips tasted nice. Maybe I went there on an off day but I couldn't get any flavour at all out of my haddock. It was meaty but lacking in flavour. I probably would give the place another chance though, but Chris' fish and chips are better I would say (albeit not as conveniently located)

The chips here are as chunky as they are crispy and my word I have never had such wonderful flavousome huge portions ... they say that size does not matter but that is not my opinion . Its a combo of both you grt here . Size and superb potions . Oh my god the fish is ace.... I just loved the massive succulent cod .. it was amazing !!!!

Having got fed up with expensive set menu's on mothers day the family headed to Kings for a more informal affair. We were greeted by a very cheerful waitress who gave us lovely service throughout. Great menu, a wide range from burgers to chicken to fish. My daughter of 11 had the kids burger meal and it was a great portion, not the tiny plate we come to expect! My day thoroughly enjoyed his sardines as well! Portions were generous (my dad described another diners large meal as "whale and chips!"), so generous we couldn't attempt dessert! For five people including drinks (my kids had unlimited lemonade to their joy) it was under £50 which is fantastic for a mothers day meal. There is definitely access for the disabled as an elderly lady in a wheelchair was enjoying her meal, and kids are made very welcome. Would definitely return.

It is a cafe style, with cosy decor - lots went for lunch here as they got a good deal - it looked all freshly prepared and appetizing and there is plently of seating, although it does get busy. Good service

It's unusual to see grilled, rather than just battered, fish in fish restarants so thought I would try it. The plaice and salmon were lovely and we'll presented. The sweets are wicked. Will definitely be going back. Re the question of takeaway customers not being able to use the toilets I can understand why. Takeaways don't usually provide toilet facilities, there are toilets outside plus allowing lots of non restaurant clients to use them would create a steady flow squeezing past restarant diners. Kind cooperative staff. Now on my list of best restaurants. .

Booked the festive fayre menu, even spoke to staff about pre ordering the food, did everything they said then an hour before our booked time they phoned and said you can't have the food because I filled the form in wrong even though they had told me what to do...extremely disappointed with them also have a very upset special needs/autistic son who had been looking forward to it!

Food was amazing as usual, all the staff was friendly and intentive, Kerry was out sever for the night and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make the night special. Every item of food we had was to an amazing quality and well worth the price, if you haven't eaten here yet you have to give it a go.
