M & A Fish Bar in Tendring

Lovely food and great staff best shop I’ve been to highly recommend going here

Staff not at all friendly very flippant, staff member coughing all over the place without covering his mouth. Pie was stone cold (they did take it away and warm it) fish batter was very thick and anemic, donner wrap lacked meat, burgers very dry clearly over cooked. I asked the man for burger sauce on the side and I was was told only ketchup and mayo was available for restaurant eaters (very strange). Steer clear!!

Best chippy in Clacton, with a nice sit in area.

Really impressed with the service, quality and value. Eaten from here a few times recently and the food is consistently delicious.

savaloys were not savaloys inedible threw away chops ok

Fish and chips was fresh and hot , enjoyed it, thankyou

Thought coke was missing husband had wrapped it in paper sorry

Good food...,staff not very friendly.

Ordered from the 6 time for haddock and couldn't tell me the truth it's cod and the try the 6th time and take the skin off to say it is but not tell me the truth

I went to collect when I got a notification saying the order was ready - it wasn't ready and I waited about 15 minutes when I got there. The whole point of ordering ahead was so I that there's little to no wait 🤣 large chips portion was tiny

second time in a row it hasn't been anywhere nice as it used to be. second time in a row they also didn't include sauce and salad with kebab. I used to love the fish and chips from here but I think I will have to go elsewhere now.

Good portions, good flavour. Accomodated our large group eating in, even though they were shutting soon. Good vibes and friendly service. on a main street not far from the beach .

I’ve always ordered from M&A fish bar for years and never ever had a problem I ordered one large chips two large battered sausages steak and onion pie two drinks and a bottle of onion vinegar, unfortunately one of the sausages was missing and the bottle of onion Vinegar, once we settled down to eat our dinner I noticed that the batter on the sausages was under cooked I had to peel the sausages to eat them due to being pregnant - unhappy is a understatement.

Open on Sundays !! The best fish and chips in the area. Staff is very sweet.

Had a take out budget fish n chips for 8£. The size of it is humongous which I didn’t expect. Fish was very fresh and was cooked nicely. Was recommended by a local here and was very pleased.

Very large portions with lovely chips and crisp batter and the dogs were allowed to sit with us at a table outside

We chose M&A Fish Bar as it had a 4.5 star rating. Our previous fish & chip shop has ceased trading (owner moved away) and was a hard act to follow as they had wonderful food. We ordered and paid via Just Eat. The delivery was made in good time and the food was hot (they did charge £1.75 for delivery, this is shown when ordering). The food, the fish was over cooked with thick crunchy/hard batter, and unfortunately, this seemed to hide the fact that considering we paid for large, the amount of fish inside the batter was disappointing. The chips were hard and crispy, although hubby said he prefers them that way. At £11.50 per fish (1 × large haddock & 1 x large plaice) I would expect it to be cooked nicely, fish doesn't need alot of time to cook, the plaice was mushy. The chips of which we had 2 large portions for three of us, were £5.50 a portion. Had I have been eating in, I would have sent the fish and chips back, they were not particularly enjoyable, the batter was inedible, and therefore thrown away. There were no complaints from our son who had a burger, a half pounder with cheese and with salad. It looked very nice. However for a total cost of £46.99 I don't think it was a good value meal and I will now look for an alternative fish & chip shop. Just giving my honest opinion.

I had the biggest piece of plaice ever filled my large plate,lovely crispy batter and hot one of the best fish and chips i have had in a long time.

delivery driver called to say was outside but in fact had gone to wrong street, eventually got my order

Quick delivery good portions chicken was nice what ever coating you use

Very disappointed with tonight's fish n chips. We use M&A's a lot for delivery, takeaway and to eat in and have always had good food but tonight the chips were cooked at LEAST twice so reheated and the batter on the fish was virtually inedible making the fish well below their usual standard 😠

The chips are very nice and the staff are very nice I will recommend this chip shop if you live in Clacton

Food absolutely delicious recommend going there only fish bar I will go to

Wrong food their fault no refund

For a large kebab tin was three quarters full off chicken pulled off the bone and other quarter lamb.

Horrible experience. The oil on all the food made it alll taste disgusting. Food poisoning. Never again.

We have used M & A several times, the prices are good, the quality and size of the fish is good and the chips are always fresh with big portions.

Tasty and affordable chippy, run by lovely staff.

Doing something new with the salad I like it

Really nice chicken donor and chips. Very tasty and everything was well seasoned and fresh.

best delivery fish and chips I can find around here. it's always decent

Unfortunately the food was cold when arrived, I don’t usually get a bad meal from yourselves but I was very disappointed with today’s order!

Been going there for many years, there are fish & chips then there is M&A 🤜👍

Delivered on time Hot food Polite delivery

breast of chicken and saveloy and sausage was very good the chips were awful the worst i have ever had ordered from here before normally edible but be a long time before i do again

Never been one for complaining, but that was the worst kebab we’ve ever had it’s put my Mrs off Donna wraps

I found this fish and chip shop quite by accident. Food was delicious and good service.

driver dropped the food on the floor and left

Best fish and chip shop in clacton , food is lovely, really big portions , staff really friendly , highly recommend 👌.

Chips were hot and so tasty. Cooked just right.

The food it very bad, staff and owner are shets , stupid kurdis

Disappointing meal. Although the top pastry of the minced beef pie was warm the filling and the pastry case was stone cold. As was the halloumi in the wrap.The chips, however, were lovely and not greasy at all.

Awesome staff. Food is superb and well priced.

M&A fish bar AVOID THEM, Complained via delivery foodhub took ages for call back Owner was RUDE. He said do not use us again I don't want your business he then started to swear and said "don't beep beep use us again" this was the owner not an employee we asked if new ownership as food quality was bad cold dry ended up £15 in the bin. If you are looking for fish & chip shop. I would say avoid M&A These new owners don't care about customers, only care about money not returning customers. Used them for years and in last three months we have had two issues one no food delivered but internet money transfer still taken. And tonight was like they had re-fried chicken 2 or 3 times as it was so dry like eating cardboard. Main thing the manager does not care and swares over the phone at us the customers. Said don't order from us again.

Eat here every time we visit, freshly cooked items and friendly staff.

Have ordered delivery from here and also picked up 5 portions of fish and chips for the ladies in my mum's ward in Clacton hospital. It was so good that even the nurses was asking where I got it from. Highly recommended for good service, great food and a fair price.

Amazing vegan falafel wrap. The falafel is one of the best I’ve had . Really appreciate having a great vegan item on a menu. Thank you

M & A are rated the best Fish and Chip shop in Clacton, they prove this time and time again. Fish cooked so well, covered in a rich tasty batter and always plenty of chips. The staff are great too, they are so pleased to see each and every customer.

Lovely little place. Great service. Big portions. I would definitely go back. Value for money.

Very nice place, delicious food, friendly service. I'm glad that I could eat Delicious to cod with my family. I was once again, I say you are the best

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. this little gem of a fish and chips shop is the best I've had in years the chips are real potatoes not frozen and the fish is as big as a whale cooked fresh to order we will definitely be back on our next visit 10/10

Your fish is fantastic... I came from Bulgaria to eat my favourite food and you have succeeded in my quest. It's far better than the one at the Rose and Crown Wivenhoe. Thank you so much

I ordered a fish and chip takeaway lunch time today the fish and chips were absolutely delicious and the staff amazing. The female staff member was just so kind bringing our order out to the car as my mother is disabled and I didn’t want to leave her outside on her own. The service was perfect and we had the best lunch ever as we pulled in opposite the sea. Thank you for making our day a special one and your fish and chips delicious. I will be back soon and thoroughly recommend you eat here. X

I love this fish and chip shop, love the staff, great customer service, happy cheerful staff. Food portions are very generous and a nice peaceful atmosphere, is tucked away down a side street. 10 min walk from seafront very reasonable price too. Great value for money

Dobra świeża ryba. Dobre ceny i miła obsługa

Great service and amazing food, had a chicken shish, lovely chilli sauce . Only £8 and couldn't finish it all. Everything was nice and fresh . Definitely worth a try!

One of the best chip shops I've ever been to. Staff were excellent, food was amazing.

I loved it here!! I'm on holiday right now and honestly best fish and chips shops I ever went. I got a burger and regular fries and I went with some other people who got fish and chips. For me, the burger and chips was huge for the price, I loved it here and also great great service. recommend!!

Cheerful staff. Our food was cooked to order. Fish beautiful. Definitely the best ! Generous portions.

Ordered budget fish (cod ) and chips cooked fresh portion was more than enough service was very good really good value for money

Delicious and well served fish and chips with kind manners.

The worst savaloy I’ve ever tasted. The inside colour was grey and the texture was so mushy, flavour didn’t even taste like a savaloy. Chips were average, vinegar was so watered down you could barely taste it. Small chips and savaloy came to £5.20, expensive and disappointing. I wish I’d of gone to one of the chip shops by the pier. Such a shame as this used to be a lovely place to eat when the previous owners were there. It seems quality has gone down and prices have shot up.

Regular cod and chips beat me. Large portion, very tasty

🤬🤬 I FOUND HAIR IN THE FOOD AND ALSO VERY BAD SERVICE I WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN 😡😡

amazing breakfast, tastes so delicious and worth the price you pay for!

Lovely fish and chips worth the walk away from the seafront Would recommend it to anyone

Beware, this place is Well over price, battered sausage taken a Mickey @£2.70 what a day light robbery, whole sale only 28pence each, delivery price. Never again!

Fish very oily and chips. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Really bad belly next day...and only see clean hygienic rating of 3

Food lovely big portions friendly service from ordering to front door

Visited this place today for lunch , had fish and chips it was delicious, freshly cooked, by Alan who served me, will definitely be back

Great food and service, happy helpful staff, very reasonable prices, a big thumbs up!

Good cod & chips massive for regular cooked to order crispy & dry

Best fish & chips in Clacton-on-Sea

Very good value for the money! Food is delicious, staff is friendly and caring. Highly recommend to visit this lovely place!

Extra 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 👌🏼 Mash'Allah Amazing 🤩 Cod & Chips 🍟 We Came From London With My Best Friend. Very Nice 👍🏼 & Helpful Staff Jimmy. Awesome 👏🏼 Performance 🎭. Definitely Recommend. Will Come Again Soon 🔜. Thank You 😊 So Much. 💯% Fresh, Tasty 😋 & Cooked To Perfection 👌🏼 Keep it Up Guys. Well Done ✅

Run of the mill chip shop, expectation was higher cos it's beside the sea. But as people say "Expectations are resentments under construction". Really?!?! Yes really..... 3 stars!

Nice people in here very clean nice food and not greedy beewise security always pops in for some nice grub

Ordered the regular size cod with chips, should have gone for the smaller budget option that my wife ordered, portions are huge. Excellent quality and served by the friendliest bunch you'll find anywhere. Prices are good too. Highly recommended.

Banging fish and chips at this little gem of a place!! Customer service well done the guy behind the till!!👍👍 Great chef very fast service!! Back again for more!! Alan and the team amazing 👏 🙌 And I'm back again with the family this time!! Can't keep me away when I'm down here!!

This place is very, very good. It's not right on the seafront but we'll worth the short walk back up towards the high street. The staff clearly care about the food and the customers and it shows.

Fish & chips fresh and friendly staff good price only complaint seating area abit small

I am shocked on how great this place is, i live on clacton and i come here everyday!!! Great price and great portions of food the Large cods are HUGEE AND ITS ONLY 7.40 for a large cod but u can also get a small 1 with a bundle of chips next to it for 6.80 this is the best shop ive been to in my life!!

To be honest it’s not a place I would enter walking past as it’s not the greatest looking place but thankfully I looked at reviews and decided to order online, the large cod and haddock we exactly that and normal size in majority of places would be large, generous and service was brilliant so glad we ordered it and will visit here again when next down

This is a great chippy, we go whenever we are in Clacton. The portions are a good size and great value and the service is excellent and very friendly. Highly recommended.

I was at Clacton on sea for holiday, and on a Sunday could not find a sigle fish and chips open, and by luck I stumbled on M&A. I sure am glad I did, I had a lovely large rock fish, and my wife had a large scampi. Chips just how we like them , thick !! I sure will be using them again. Looks like a very friendly owners. Just want to say they sell all sort of food, like chicken, pies lamb etc.

Went to M & A fish shop last Week and ordered a take away meal for me and Hubby to eat at home. The Large battered sausage I asked for while I waited for the fish to cook was “ warm” so I gave it back as it wasn’t sufficiently hot enough. The replacement was better.( but not much and didn’t want to make an issue about it.) They also wrapped another as a complimentary one to take home. So I ordered that day 2 Medium Cod and 2 small chips with salt and vinegar. 1 steak and kidney pie and the large battered sausage I ate while waited. The whole order came to about £18 something. When I got home my husband refused to eat ANY of the Cod as it was swimming in about half a tonne of greasy oil in the paper with the fish, all soggy underneath. I ate some of mine as I was starving.But cost me a fortune and was the Worst fish and chips/ Battered sausage and steak and kidney pies I think I’ve ever eaten. Definitely WON’T be eating there again ( no matter how hungry I am.) Too many staff behind the counter standing around and the blonde woman with ponytail serving Was all nice and polite to your face then when I took the warm battered sausage back to complain and they gave me a replacement and walked outside to eat it, I could hear her saying “what’s wrong with it “ as common as muck ( not very professional as obviously she took it personally when I returned the warm sausage) But I don’t think it’s the original M&A owners ( just think the new owners are trading with the same name as you have M&A plastered everywhere and would cost a fortune to refurb ( I’m assuming)

After 5 days in bed ( medical, not lazy) surviving on scraps of toast I emerged like an hibernating bear, looking for taste and comfort in my food. M&A delivered with their budget cod and chips and a cuppa tea. Dine in, with proper plates and flatware for a fiver. Service friendly. I am a happy well fed bear cub, off to the river to tell my mates that they don't have to catch their own fish . . . .

We’ve been here two nights in a row to eat in… that’s how good it was! We had cod and chips which were very tender and not oily at all. One of the best we’ve had! We also had a burger which was very nice and tasty. The service was also fast and friendly. Very recommended! 👍🏻

We are have become regular customers of M&A Fish Bar. We have not actually been in and eaten but we have the delivery. We order on line, and it is delivery in no time at all, they say on line that it is 45 minutes, but we have never waited that long...normally it arrives within 20 minutes. We normally have a treat on a Monday evening, and I can say it is delivered fresh hot and not greasy at all, I don't eat fish myself so I mainly have chicken and it is tasty and not dry at all. We have recommended M&A Fish bar to loads of people. You'd be a fall to miss out on this restaurant/takeaway!

I ordered a large cod and regular chips, to be delivered to the Premier Inn Clacton. Felt a bit guilty, as was only a small order. However, nothing was too much trouble for them. Very friendly telephone manner and delivery guy was lovely as well. Joking and laughing with me. Delivery only took 15 minutes to arrive. The fish and chips were fantastic. Fish was huge! Fresh fish, lovely crisp batter, NOT swimming in grease. Not one bad chip in bag. Hot and tasty. Will definitely be using M & A fish and chips when next in Clacton. Thanks for a lovely meal 😋

We go maybe once a month and is the best Fish & Chip shop in Clacton (we have tried most of the others but always come back to M&A)

We came down last week from wales and just had to give this fish and chip shop a go i had rock and chips and my partner had rock and cod roe it was so lovely we went back and had the same again you...

We had hunted for an hour for 11 of us to eat out, some restaurants were full, some didn’t answer the phone but most were closed so you can imagine how disappointed we were, I gave M&A a call at 19.50 and asked if there...

Sadly the food isn’t as good as it used to be. The new staff aren’t very welcoming and actually came across as quite rude. The prices on the boards aren’t up to date so I was charged a different amount and when I questioned it...

I ordered regular cod and small chips twice. The cod was so big I couldn’t fit it on the plate and the small chips were enough for two of us. Tasted amazing and was very reasonably priced. Added bonus was no delivery charge. Will definitely...

Excellent restaurant with freshly cooked food such as fish and chips, burgers, hallomi and kebab. Very reasonable prices and fantastic, friendly staff! I would highly recommend this restaurant. Indoor seating available also Al ot of locals seem to visit this restaurant so that gives an...

Ordered large rock, chips and a curry sauce. The fish was swimming in oil chips was under cooked and the curry sauce was like Brown water. Needless to say I threw the lot in the bin. Also ordered through food hub and it was roughly...

First time ordering from here. Orders large rock and chips plus a curry sauce. The fish was swimming in oil the chips had no taste and the curry sauce was like brown water. Needless to say it's a definite no from me

Very disappointed. The cod and chips we ordered was very nice but unfortunately the skate wing was cremated, the fish was stuck to the bones and very dry. The batter itself was completely over fried. Ordered via Deliveroo, wouldn’t use again.

Visited this wonderful chip shop for the first time today. Excellent service and the fish couldn’t of been more perfect. All the family enjoyed there meals and at such a great price I was surprised how value for money it was with such tasty food...
