Mr Chips in Braintree

Great friendly quick service , fish was well cooked not greasy, three big pieces of chicken , would not hesitate to recommend Easy parking

Spot on large cod and chips, friendly staff, all nice and clean. 5 stars

Really nice fish and chips at a fair price.

In my opinion the best fish and chips in the area.

Popped in earlier to get a large portion of Fish and Chips....gone up to £4.60....what got me was it was not a large portion, it was literally the last few scoops left, not a large portion, when I am paying nearly a fiver I expect a full portion....oh and the server at the till was surly....no please of thank you....won't be going back....I expect value for money and polite service not surly service

£9.40 for 2 jumbo sausage and 1 portion of medium chips seemed a bit pricey. Quick service though and friendly staff hence the 3 stars

Does a great greasy burger with all the extras I love it, onion rings and chips always good too.

We decided on a chippy lunch before heading for T20 cricket in Chelmsford, the first time we have used Mr. Chips at lunchtime. It was just as good as the occasional evening treat, freshly cooked and great service.

Great fish and chips. Excellent and friendly staff. The skate is immense, the burgers are superb and the fried chicken is in a different league. They’ll even double fry the chips if requested. I’ll be back.

Best chippy in the area !!! Good portions and fresh , great team behind the counter

Our local chip shop has always given us great food. They sell burgers/fried chicken plus the usual suspects. The wife usually gets plaice which is always cooked fresh. It's worth the small wait as it's not sitting under the heat lamp. The only thing I wish they sold is a kebab. They don't open on Mondays. There is a small car park round the back that has 2hrs free parking. The shop is in a small parade which has a small convenience shop, a boots chemist and a hair dresser's.

Only ordered a portion of chips.shocked at the price and then found them dry,hard and un eatable.shame to have to feed the bin with them. Shall not be returning.

Fantastic chips and fried chicken

We like this chipshop so much better than Chelmsford one's that I go the 4miles out of the way 👍 Chips can be a bit crispy/hard but never a bad thing.

We went for a takeaway for lunch and we all found the large cod and chips to be tasty and of very good quality

Nice fish & chips. Friendly efficient happy service. Like most fish and chip shops if you want plaice you'll have to wait until cooked or call in advance and order.

Tried the burger 🍔 it was tasty with a fresh bun recommended 😋 salad and sauce of you choice. Chips are a good standard.

Local fish and chip shop. Does all the stuff you want. Really friendly staff. Great service. Always give us extra crispy bits if we call the order in. Recommend the fish and battered sausage with curry sauce.

Not the best. Friendly staff . Nice burgers over cooked chips.

Delicious food, big portions and great service. Not sure why people are giving bad reviews. Definitely one of the best fish and chip shops I’ve ever been to. Good flow of customers on Saturday evening suggests a lot of people think the same! Will be back for sure

Tonight I was served by Jo, Her customer service was fantastic she was really polite and friendly. Got a fruitshoot straight away for him to enjoy whilst we waited for his food to be cooked. The food was fantastic and tasted lovely and reasonably priced. THANK YOU MR CHIPS

Unfortunately I have had a few negative experiences with the chips from this establishment , they have a definite twang and appear to be re-fried, until this changes I won’t go back, it’s a shame but the chips have to be up to scratch as they are a large part of the meal

Always fresh and crispy, a real gem

First visit since change of ownership and so disappointed.overpriced chips hard and dry.most went in the bin as uneatable.won’t be back and can’t recommend.

Decent amount of chips. I'd rather drive here than use the one near my home

We throughly enjoyed our freshly cooked piece of Rock and Haddock. With one portion of chips and a battered sausage to share we had a delicious dinner for two. Generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing. Best chippy for miles.

Just try the large huss/rock and large chips. Oh my lord, that is a huge portion 😂 but size aside, well cooked not greasy and decent chips. Oh and a huge portion 🙆

Ordered by phone for 12 people, was told a time to collect and one minute after our arrival it was ready for collection. Ordered various food but the burgers were not standard requests, some with mayo some without etc, not only was each burger hot tasty and exactly as requested but they wrote the contents of each burger on the lid which was so helpful when dishing up. The plaice was ginormous! We have recently moved here this will definitely be our local chippy.

I ordered a chicken burger with a portion of chips and a sausage, the burger was really good and the chips were probably some of the best I ever tried. The atmosphere was nice, my friend got cod with chips and is very happy with their fish foods. Overall, very nice place and the lady at the counter was very pretty : )

Had The Special yesterday and it was just the perfect size portion and was as good as it gets Thank you and well done 👏

Excellent cod and chips. Friendly staff.

The clue is in the name. I wanted chips, went to Mr Chips, got chips. Brilliant.

Always willing to cook fish from fresh to order and pies saveloys and chicken available as well

My family like this place, so we take the opportunity to eat from there from time to time as we do not live in the area. The staff are friendly and helpful as you would hope. The food is cooked well consistently, but (There's always a 'but') the chip potion is a little small and could be increased more. The place always seem to have people there, so I would assume the other customers have the same opinion rather than treat it as a convenience.

Great fish and chips especially saveloys for me

Chip shop Friday! Love the food. Quality and fast.

Great food..... brilliant staff

Sausage wasn't too bad but the chips were undercooked and not very nice.

Great food and best of all a blast from the past, pineapple fritters

This chip shop totally change when it was sold off. The only way to get a nice peace of fish is to have it cooked fresh. Twice now chips have been soggy and the batter not crispy.

The cleanest fish and chip shop ive ever been to. Tried loads of the menu so far and its all been awesome. Great food, helpful team a real great find

Just moved to the area and used this fish and chip shop a couple of times.Both times we have ordered cod and chips, kids and adult portions are both generous - fish is fresh and batter is crisp. Can’t fault it, even the mushy peas were nice

Lovley fresh cooked food. Polite staff

Staying with family locally and decided we'd have fish and chips from their local takeaway. This place deserves a mention because of its exceptional quality of fish and cooking.Firstly, not all fishmongers offer skate/ray, but they do it to order so, like all of their fish, it was fresh, not oily and perfectly cooked, similarly their chips did not disappoint. Top this all off with speedy and friendly service, and this stands out as a fish 'n chip shop in the old style. If you're in the area, it is well worth a visit.

After this shop changed hands a couple of years ago, we stopped going there as we felt it had taken a downward turn. However, we went back in March as we'd heard it had changed hands again and we are really glad we did. The fish and chips were lovely, really crispy, tasty and most importantly cooked in good quality, clean oil. We'll definitely go back and if like us you gave up on this place, i'd say its worth giving it another try.

Recently organised a charity quiz night in Maldon Essex, Fish & chips and a great quiz goes down very well with the locals and attracted over 90 people. Mr Chips were asked to cater even though the quiz was on a Friday evening they came up trumps and produced very good fish & chips and chicken if preferred. The price was right, and the food & service arranging the package. We had nothing but praise for the food, and will use Mr Chips again for the next function.

Was nice was rubbish last few times I went in there

We're local to Hatfield Peverel and visit the takeaway every Friday. The fish and chips are always good. Thoroughly recommended.

We have been using Mr Chips for a number of years, the original owner John was from Yorkshire and like most Northern fish & chips, they were better than the fish & chips in the South. However, John moved on and we found the food still good, but another change did result in a change of standard with the food for a while. Sometimes these reviews can be misleading but what I would say now is that we now have no complaints with the food and service which revolves around the established staff from Johns days. Why not try MR CHIPS again I dont think you will be disappointed. ENJOY.

Good . Nice staff good service. Better than most others

Good fish and chips like most places can be hit and miss worth a visit.

Always good when I've been there

Very good food lovely friendly staff. And it's very clean shop

Just had Skate and chips and Haddock and chips. Great size portions. Polite, friendly service . Shop was clean and the food arrived quickly. It was well cooked and tasty. Definitely use again.

Great bit of Haddock and Skate with good chips. Nicely cooked and served quickly. Shop very clean with good service

What more can one say fish n chips

Great little chippy, but does close a bit early.

We have not had fish and chips there for a long time because of reviews but it was really lovely the fish was beautiful

Have used this fish and chip shop for years but on a recent return was very disappointed. Hard chips, cold pie and an assistant with an extremely poor attitude, I won’t be using this place again. Shame.

Always good food here, but be prepared to wait. Place is so popular

Excellent chip shop. Nice fluffy chips, great sausages. The chicken is only southern fried so if you like roasted chicken your out of luck. They do however do lovely burgers, pies. All round great chip shop. The ladies behind the counter are friendly and happy which is a nice change. Only thing is not open on a Monday. 😕

Good sized portion but not the best chips

Smashing fish and chips, best in the area

They were really lovely .. friendly staff ... nice and clean .. could do with card machine x

Beautiful fish shop, staff are amazingly friendly. Food is absolutely delicious.

Fish and chips and banging from here they don't make the batter to thick like some places and the fish is massive aswell

Nice fish loads of chips, don't bother with the pucka pies !

Bardzo miła obsługa, pyszne jedzenie, ale bez rewelacji, minus za przerwę w porze obiadowej i brak możliwości zjedzenia w lokalu, oraz konieczność dopłaty za sosy

i go through the village most evenings on way home. often stop fro a take out and on all my visits it has been fine. I can see mixed reviews - mine is good

I am surprised at some of the negative comments. Have telephoned our orders through on a number of occasions, food has always been ready by the stated time, service quick and efficient, and importantly the food is well cooked and of good quality. Will definately continue to use this takeaway.

Was always happy to drive past other places to get to Mr Chips, but I revisited it this evening after more than 18 moths away and will never go back again. The rock was dark brown, tough and tasteless and the chips were chewy. Most of the food went in the bin so a total waste of £6.90 for the smallest available portions. To be avoided.

I think there should be more photos of the whole cemetery to help those people who are unable to visit because of ill health but who would like to see there graves of their own loved ones

Bought fish and chips there tonight, incredibly disappointed. I asked to salt and vinegar my own chips to which they acknowledged, asked this twice yet the woman handed me my pre salted and vinegar chips, I wanted onion vinegar and they did not give me the chance. Told me I could put it on top of the vinegar they’d already put on. She was rude and did not offer me a new portion instead she looked at me as though I was making a fuss and said rudely ‘I only put a bit on’, when my boyfriend watched her put a sizeable amount on.

Got home and chips were brown as though they’d been cooked in old oil and the fish (haddock) was in thick batter that was not cooked trough properly, inedible and the fish was dry. Waste of money and poor customer service.

I had not been here for a while and on the off chance popped in Saturday for a large portion of chips.

Best battered fish and chips ever

Best Fresh Fish and Chips in a vast area, only takes cash, which is the only reason I give it 4 stars, other than that, this is must visit!!

Very nice indeed :) excellent parking around the back and food is cooled fresh, plenty of staff working so don't have to queue for too long, overall a good chippy

We have lived in HP for nearly 50 years and used to go to Mr Chips quite often. But then the chips became indigestible, although the fish wasn't too bad, but that made us go to the chip shop in Boreham. We tried Mr Chips again last week, and I have to say that they were really enjoyable. We will definitely go there more often, but Boreham chip shop has take away Chinese, so we will continue going there for that I would recommend Mr Chips, although it's not a cheap meal any more, is it!

Good freashly cooked food curry sauce on tap good sized portions like the cod a nice weekly treat friendly service

Always reliable. Never had a bad one. And what's more, any leftovers reheat perfectly in an Aga - even after a couple of days.

This takeaway changed hands again in this New Year (2018). I wrote a review in June 2016 praising the food and service. I have been using Mr Chips for around 22 years but my recent visit 2 weeks ago was my last. My cod looked and tasted like it was leftover from the day before and was yellow shrivelled and dry (not white, super fresh with a slightly sticky texture and chunky plump flakes of fish as usual) and the batter thin, dry and made my tummy gurgle!. There was miserable looking chap frying and I was told by the young woman serving ( I had to squeeze a conversation out) that he was the new owner and the previous owners( after John) had gone back to Devon. That was my last ever visit. What a shame.I actually feel very sad about it. So long Mr Chips it was nice knowing you.

Great fish and chip. Always freshly cooked and terrific sized portions. Sharing is definitely and option. 🙂

Very friendly service I have been buying fish & chips from this shop for twelve years & although it changed hands over a year or so ago the fish is still as fresh & the chips as nice would definitely recommend.

Took forever and the food is seriously substandard!!!!

I had not been to Mr Chips for some months, due to an intense fitness and diet drive. But decided that tonight was going to be a Mr Chips evening because we always had good food from there. I wish now that I hadn't bothered. The fish and chips were both very soggy, totally different to previous meals. I don't know if the business has new owners or not but I will not be returning

I get my fish & chips here 2 or 3 times a month. Portions are always generous and food very well cooked. I am always amazed at the speed with which I am served.

We have used this place for years and never been disappointed. The food is always freshly cooked and lovely. Would recommend a visit.

Food is generally good but the service can be painfully slow

Lovely chips and sausages. Friendly staff, wish the opening times were updated on here

We live in Springfield, chelmsford but will always travel to go to mr chips. Excellent flavour & quality, always fresh and large portions of chips. Only slightly marked down as cash only which can be a pain & fish seems to be getting smaller.

Best fish and chips in the country.

Good quality chips, not greasy and chips are larger cut (not fries) so they absorb less fat and are better for you.

Freshly cooked food, loads of chips and nice fresh fish. Will definitely be taking away from here again.

Descubrir la comida es caliente y muy sabroso y no grasosa como antes. . Yo había dejado de tener el pescado hace años porque había piezas pequeñas sólo nunca no importa cuando lo pedí, así que terminamos pagando más de lo que quería o se fue sin. Ahora la elección es siempre allí. . Las fichas están bien cocinados y bien el tamaño de las porciones, no grasienta bits y el personal es rápido y muy amable. Altamente recomendado chippy

Uncooked soggy chips and wouldn't let me have more then one piece of chicken breast even though i offered to pay for it....

Estoy muy molesta para regularmente tienda cerrada, aunque este es mi culpa de ser un hombre muy desorganizado. Puedo pedir que se abra un domingo!

Cod and chips was fantastic got into shop just before closing time bur everytime cooked to order and plentiful and tasty - just what a boiler engineer needs at lunchtime!

Muy buen pescado y patatas fritas. Las comidas de los niños son también buenos con una selección decente. Personal amable y un buen precio.

These are definitely the Best Fish & Chips in the Chelmsford Area - Especially when the Blonde Bombshell is cooking or should I say - 'Bond Girl'!!Keep up the great work Guys & Dolls. Thank-You.
