McCoys Fish Bar in Southend-on-Sea

Me and my family have been going to McCoy's for years and they have never let us down. My favourite meal is Battered Cod and Regular Chips and the batter on the fish is Sooooo Good 🤤🤤

This is my goto chippy , lovely food, always cooked fresh , 😋

The serving system is awful in here. Waited over 20 minutes for 1 cod & chips which was cooked & sitting in the cabinet ready, the lady next to me waited the same for a sausage & chips. Lots of unhappy people in the queue with me. What happened to fast food? If you are going to make everyone wait you should tell them there is a wait. I understand if you are waiting for something to be cooked fresh but there is no excuse to make people wait that long when it's ready & you have 4 staff working! They refuse to serve you out of line so you have to wait ages because 2 customer's in front need something cooked...every other chip shop I've been to serves you immediately if the food is ready. When the gentleman behind me brought this to the owners attention he became aggressive & started throwing sausages angrily in the cabinet. Not very professional. Also overpriced for the portion you get. Will NOT be returning, could of cooked it quicker myself.

Lovely food. Freshly cooked and caters for allergies.

Food isn't as nice as it used to be. Portions are small for the price I paid too

Worst fish and chips I've ever had. Total rubbish.

just bought 2 large cod one large chips my sons cod was definitely old it stank and was very strong the seagulls got it cost £23 and one fish couldnt be eaten, not been here for years used to be lovely but nomore :(

Even the seagulls turned their noses up at the food.. had fish n chips with mushy peas absolutely vile... wish I'd of gone to asda next door now 😒 👎

Cash only! No card payments, is someone avoiding the tax man?

Absolutely disgusting medium cod £7 size of a marker pen never will I go here again

I love it so much and its so cheap as well! Defintely reccomend and so yummy and its better than binley mega chippy😂😂

Small cod and chips £8.50 Cod was not good, tasted sour and the batter very poor, threw away. Chips were okay, as expected. Staff quite friendly.

Best chip shop for miles. Always busy, food fabulous and good prices. Owners friendly and service as quick as is possible.

Always freshly cooked. Taste delicious. Friendly staff

In there sat night waited 25 min for chips the lady server would not serve people out of line so while fish was cooking wouldnt serve anyone else ie sausage and chios or pie and chips when a customer very nicely surgested that perhaps get que down by serving up anything while fish was cooking she abused this poor man with his young boy he tried to explain then i did thinking she couldnt grasp it i was abused to never going there again terrible customer service

By far thee best fish and chips around!!

Lovely friendly staff, which is why I have given a third star. However, as they had ran out of vege burgers I accepted the offer of a vegetable spring roll, only to bite into it and find it was meat 🤢🤮 Major let down for me.

Delicious fish n chips. Really crispy batter. Good portion sizes.

Fish and chips where very nice and I be back again

Great fish and chips shop, the small Cod was just the right size, neither too big or small, the batter was lite and crispy with no fat. Chips were good size and not over cooked with nice fluffy centre. First time in quite a while, and will definitely be going back.

Absolutely awful...my wife went into order some chips for the kids today whilst I waited in the car. She was there by the counter waiting to be served for a good 5-10mins, whilst the guy behind the counter stood on his phone. Another customer walked in and he automatically went to serve him, however the customer said that there was someone else waiting to be to served. He then took my wife's order, and he rudely said "is that it!" Your chips could have possibly been nice, but with someone like that serving the public...jeez! My wife walked out!

Great chippy under new owners no matter what time of the week always cooked fresh curry sauce is lovely

Under new ownership but still the best fish and chips in the area. Chips are freshly cut and the fish is nice and flavorful, great portion sizes as well

Freshly cooked, reasonably priced, & most importantly...an enjoyable meal!

Theres a new chef and it cook's so good,the personnel was so sweet so i wanna say that it was the best fish and chips👌

there is a new chef and he is doing incredibly beautiful fish last 10 years ago I ate fish like that ... really recommend

Had first fish and chips since lock down. The service was good, food was just what I needed. I also didn't have exact change and they accommodated it... Really nice touch. Recommended chip shop!

Ordered Haddock, it was propably the worst example of haddock I've had. The fish was grey and had turned to mush Lacked flavour too. Wont be going there again

Service was quick as nobody else was there. Got home which is only 2 mins away the chips were barely warm and half of them I had to throw away as they had black bits in. But my pie was hot.

Rude staff members, hardly anything on the menu a professional chip shop would stock. I'd go elsewhere I will be

every year when we go to southend i have to visit this place the best ever.

Fantastic food,very clean,allway,s very friendly.

Great food and the staff are hilarious!

very friendly... never had any problems with them

Forgot my curry sauce!! Which as everyone knows makes the meal, chips were to small aswell for me and my partner aswell

Undercooked and oversalted chips, curry sauce like jelly. Pie was lukewarm.

Always warm and welcoming ..Food is fast hot and prompt ..minimum waiting time ,and of good quality for the money ! Fish is always perfect and full of flavour as with all the food ❤️ would highly recommend .

Best Chippy in the area by far 👍

Wonderful people and good food, all the way from Rayleigh for lunch

Great fish chips and chicken. Staff are friendly.and polite.

Best fish and chips, certainly in this area. Found it purely by accident too. Recommended.

I know this only effects a few people, but I came in the other day and asked if their chips were suitable for vegetarians, they said yes and I got a meals for me and my brother, but when I ate, the chips tasted like fish and there were bits of fish in with my chips. The only saving grace is my brother liked the chips.

I could not eat the chip Horid waste of money

I placed an order with this establishment and quickly popped to shops, prior to collecting my order. I came back after about 10 mins to collect my order and was immediately accused by another customer in the shop, that there was a queue. I explained that I was not jumping the queue and was in fact merely waiting to collect my preorder. When I asked for my order, I had to remind them them that I had preordered, which seemed to cause some confusion, at which time, the owner who appeared to be under some considerable pressure cooking orders, told me to calm down, became very aggressive and threatening towards me and glared at me and said "you dont want to make me angry ! " when in fact whilst I may have been a bit frustrated, I was completely calm and cool about the whole affair, unlike him. I felt very intimidated and slightly wary, as he is a big guy and so when I finally got my order I hastily left. Not sour grapes, but the fish and chips was distinctly average and in view of the proprietors completey unprofessional conduct, I will certainly never ever go back there, nor will I recommend anyone to go there.

Quick service, good food, well priced.

Worst chips in shoebury . Save your money

Warm and welcoming every time you visit chicken and chips are lovely

Remarkable Experience - Engaging staff, clean facility, fresh hot food! Glad my 1st Fish & Chips in the UK was here.

Fish is always fresh and the chips are the best in town. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

I love this place the team are so friendly and professional the best fish and chips in shoeburyness they really know there customers & it's a really lovely local family business would totally recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the best chip shop I have ever been to the chips are always amazing and the fish is always fresh

Highly recommend, I love the crispy chips and everything is always freshly cooked..

Whilst the lady (wife owner) is lovely, the husband likes a power trip over mobile phone usage. Sign clearly states "do not approach counter whilst on mobile phone". I fully respect that as a grown man dismayed by society's rudeness in general. However - apparently this includes looking at a notification whilst waiting for my order patiently at the side, as not all items (a complicated plain sausage) were ready despite being lunchtime. I explained that my business at the counter was concluded and I was simply waiting. He replied "well I don't like it". Do not speak to you customers like children, drop the arrogance and you may just keep them. Sadly - you've lost this one, didn't appreciate that AT ALL.

Chips bit, gravy like bitumen, portions small, I dunked a chip in the carton of gravy and it stayed upright, fish not always cod even tho I asked for cod, will not be going back, rubbish chippy

Food always fresh n tasty, staff always welcoming
