Have just had cod and chips for lunch. This Fish batter is light and so tasty. Portions are large. This is probably the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. Will definitely be going back for more.(not today though very full up ) .

Had a large Cod and chips last night, Fish was cooked fresh had to wait a while which was fine but when I got home and put my large fish and chips on a plate, the large Cod that cosy almost £6 was (going by other chip shop standards) was small/medium and the chips were enough to feed the street! Everything was hot and cooked well they just need to sort out their portion control as I felt that I was ripped off. I didn't like the last owner he was a wannabe gangster who knew everyone's business and a slime ball so I avoided the place.

This business is under new ownership. Feel sorry for them. Despite notices on doors people taking no notice of the 1 person in shop instructions. Last week chips were only lukewarm, this week they were hot and tons of them but could have done with cooking a little longer. Fish was nice

Awful chips with soggy fish batter and a pie that had pastry made of concrete. Couldn't even put the massive left overs out for wildlife as that would be cruelty to animals. Ended up cooking anyway.

Closed on a Tuesday at 1pm when it’s meant to be open 12-2 weekdays. No note on the door or anything. So disappointing!

Absolutely love this fish and chip shop. There’s a wide menu to choose from, prices are very good. They certainly don’t skimp on the portions either. The food quality has always been fantastic and love the owners and staff, they are very friendly, attentive and love a good chat. Whenever I’m having fish and chips this is the place I visit every time.

What an awful chippie. The guy serving is stressed and can’t cope. I hadn’t been in before and was asked by an elderly lady if you had to order and then join the queue or if you just queued. I said I think you just queue. She decided to ask, the young girl didn’t understand what she meant and said just join the queue. The lady and I then started to chat about our day, we laughed and with that the guy came to the counter and started ranting about how the queue wasn’t working right tonight. It was weird! It was my turn, so I ordered and he told the girl not to serve me??? Seriously? I recommend that nobody darkens their door! They can’t cope in busy periods and the staff are so incredibly rude!

Very Rude Staff - asked a simple question to the assistant and she went and got the ‘manager’ and he was equally Rude back - what? Am I not allowed to ask a question???? Very aggressive attitude back - need to to learn customer service - felt very insulted and threaghtened — even brought my company into the conversation - ??????? Why????? - cancelled my Order as not going to be intimidated and insulted - customer nxt to me was amazed by their attitude - been using this shop for years and feel since the renovation they don’t care a hoot about their regular customers - warning to all —— don’t ask a question or u will be insulted big time

Never had anything but quality from Mccoys Portions are excellent [my wife and I have the 'Seniors' which are probably as large as 'normal' portions in other outlets. Fish is always freshley cooked and the chips are just right. Service is friendly making it a pleasure to be a customer.

Have been to this take away many times and went again last week and have to say that this is the best fish and chip shop as nothing gets wasted by us as it is so delicious. The staff are really nice and service good. I have recommended this shop to many friends who are of the same opinion as me. Would always recommend to anyone thinking of going there.

No podían hacer más y fueron amables y la comida era increíble! Le recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera, estaba limpio y la comida caliente! . No estoy seguro de por qué las negativas son válidas como he estado allí unas cuantas veces y no volvería si eran groseros! . Yo sólo he visto la atención al detalle sobre cocina de la comida y el servicio al cliente fue excelente.

My wife and I had stopped eating fish and chips as there was nowhere decent to go.We thought we had tried everywhere in the Southend-on-Sea area and just could not believe the poor or inconsistent quality on offer in a 'seaside town'.But that was before we discovered McCoys!It sits next to Asda in North Shoeburyness, and the quality is exceptional.It's a family run business, and the owner constantly delivers consistently good fish and chips. He even sources his potatoes from a particular area in order to guarantee a consistent chip!It's purely a takeaway, with no seating and we have recommended McCoys to others and they have thanked us for this.

After a tedious road journey from London I was looking forward to a sit down, a cup of tea and some tasty fish and chips. I misread the earlier reviews of Mccoys and had assumed that it was a sit-down restaurant which it was not - just a take away located in the development which mainly features a large Asda store. Foregoing the cup of tea we ordered and the fish was cooked to order and was very tasty. Chips were also very good and the staff were very friendly.Downside is that there is no where to sit with your meal. Was not inclined to eat fish and chips in my new car however behind Mccoys is an open grassy area in front of a beautiful old church which is where we ate - shame that there were not a few park benches to sit on. I don't think anyone would seek out Mccoys for the environment but the food was good.

When I posted my last review I somehow managed to praise this fish and chip shop and only give it one star must be fat fingers!. To put this right -I am a regular at this shop and without exception the food has always been great - so this re-review gives it the 5 stars it deserves -Recommend it to everyone

This is the best Fish & Chip Shop around for miles. Cooked fresh every time.The batter is always crispy and the fish moist never ever over cooked.The homemade Southern Fried Chicken is tasty as well better than KFC.This place is a must try if your ever shopping in Asda they are just a couple of shops away.

Waited an unreasonably long time for Cod & Chips x 3. The fish was mainly batter and very greasy which was disappointing as after a 25 minute wait I thought it would be nice and fresh. Chips were ok but wouldn't recommend it. Somebody waited almost as long for 2 children's battered sausages lots of wandering around looking busy but not actually getting people's orders out. How long does it take to put a couple of sausages in a box!My husband was quite unwell after his greasy cod so won't be having mccoys fish & chips again

We came in on Wednesday 16th, with a disabled young man. The meat was good, but Yorkshire puddings were rock hard. Full of air. The veg was overcooked the peas where like bullets. But I went into the ladies' toilets and how disgusting it was. The toilet brush was absolutely awful. If the toilet is like that, what is the kichen? I took a picture. Will show you!!! I wonder what the company would think if there had done an inspection?
