Fish serving size is excellent...... Reception people are rude,mocking the customers,worse customer services I have ever seen......... If the owner could look into matter and teach the person taking orders some manners how to talk,it's 5 stars for the food

Cold throughout, wrong items delivered. £30 for a burger, ‘budget’ fish and chips and a small sausage and what is meant to be a saveloy was a sausage. Highly disappointed.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since reopening and new ownership this place is so much better. Pie is yummy and staff are great :) I would say Tendering now have a good place to go for a decent pie and mash meal! They also do salt beef bagels (Although too expensive @ £7.50 they are delicious) A Must try if you are in clacton!
