Nessy's Chippy in Southend-on-Sea

Fantastic chippy, golden chips, perfect fish. Everything tastes amazing, and great pricing. Lovely family run establishment.

Best Fish and chips I’ve ever had. Always busy, so I telephone my order, they are very friendly.

Go every week, great chips. Fish always cooked well. Love the curry sauce

Took my daughter too shoebryness today came to your chip shop excellent fish and chips great price which I told the server’s we ate them in the park near the harvester the food made our day expect us to be back not many good fish and chip shops about these days but make a bit of effort you will get customers well done and thanks for the good food

Absolutely delicious fish and chips with the best curry sauce!! All cooked to order, clean and lovely staff. Will not go anywhere else.

Nothing is perfect but this is quite close. Good price, fresh fish and double cooked chips. Curry sauce is quite Indian style but worth having.

Freshly cooked fish, best batter ever. Chips delicious and properly cooked.

Bill & his team produced an amazing meal - way beyond anything you would expect to get from a takeaway tonight. Fish is perfectly cooked and wonderfully fresh more Michelin star than takeaway! Cannot recommend more the quality is amazing ! Best fish and chips you could ask for !

My partner and I regularly grab a fish and chips take-out to eat along the sea front. For a change we decided to try Nessy’s Chippy. What a great place, staff were so friendly, the place was so clean and the fish and chip were delicious. We had a medium cod each and one portion of chips to share. The cod had a lovely fresh crispy batter and the chips were perfect and more than enough for 2 people to share. It was easy to park up outside and only 2 minutes from uncle toms cabin/Thorpe bay yacht club. The fish was cooked fresh on arrival. Excellent value Total cost £16 We will definitely make this our local chippy when visiting Southend in the future.

The absolute best place in the Southend area for fish and chips. Fantastic value too We travel 20 miles to get food from here and eat on the front. Thanks for a great meal each time.

Good quality fish & chips, prices in line with others, knocked a star off because despite requesting loads of salt & vinegar, there was hardly any on mine. Being a bit picky I know, but return.

First time here for my fish and chips dinner, excellent food, and excellent price to, staff and owner very polite as well, will definitely return in near future.

Went today 11/5/2024, to purchase our dinner, very good price and staff and owner very polite indeed would highly recommend this shop, for your fish and chip dinner,

Got to be the best pies in Southend..chips fresh ..battered sausage crispy not greasy second visit just as good as the first 😊👍

This is probably the worst fish and chip shops I have ever visited in my 44 years of going to Southend on Sea. I had read the reviews and thought well this must be worth a visit. After getting my cod and chips, I preceeded to first eat the chips which were greasy and burnt. Well looking at the battered cod and ohh yesss. It was definitely battered so hard, that when I bit into it. It pierced the roof of my mouth leaving a small hole in it. No I'm not joking, I'm being deadly serious. I have never ever written a review like this before. I thought it was just me. But my wife who found exactly the same thing. But fortunately spat hers out as it was totally inedible. Unless you had a chissell and hammer.

Fantastic fish and chips and the homemade pies are scrumptious staff very friendly best chippy in shoebury good prices to.

What a lovely find this is! Apart from great fish and chips it was so nice to have some friendly chat whilst waiting. Both the owner and the young lady were so friendly. We hope to be back soon but wishing this business every success as they certainly deserve it!

Very friendly very good service and excellent quality

Lovely staff and lovely food. Chicken pies are better than any other Chip shop I have ever tried as they are hand made! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

Really nice chicken pie, but was let down on the chips.

Lovely fish cooked to perfection all my grandchildren ate cod and chips throughly enjoyed it

Will someone photograph the menu / price list and post it on here. I used to go to this place when it was called Owens. Mr Owen, his Wife and Daughter used to run it as a Chippy. At that time it was the best chip shop within 50 miles. You could get a portion of chips for 10p.

Fish and chips on Friday 4th August. Food was piping hot and all was perfection! Will not go anywhere else. Sooo good!

Great owner who cares about his customers

I recommend using cod fish and fries and green peas. Awesome. The same fish in our country does not compare in taste. Every time I visit my daughter, I have to buy this fish. I recommend it.

Never been here before was in the area so I decided to stop and get some dinner they took the skin off my cod for me and the cod and chips were very tasty indeed well done all round I have autism and find ordering difficult not all disabilities are visible kind regards Paul

Great fish and chips and excellent kids meals with a drink great value for money always recieved great service

The sausage gave my daughter a stomach ache .

Visited Shoeburyness specifically to get Cod and chips from Nessy's Chippy. Just as perfect as before. Great food , friendliness from owner. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks.

This chippy is the best around...the fish cakes and pies are great.even the chips are spot on...they are always pollite and friendly too so bonus.i come from far to come here cos they are the best around and i enjoy it very much

Absolutely stunning food, reasonably priced and staff are very friendly with quick service. I'd say best fish and chips in the area.

Friendly staff ..excellent fish an chips..totally recommend

Lovely fresh food. Staff are friendly and family run, I believe. Never had a bad fish and chips from here. They also do other food as such homemade pie which I have been told is amazing.

Freshly cooked to order fish and chips. Always good.

Consistently fantastic fish and chips always with a friendly service. The food is always freshly cooked and served promptly. The menu includes brilliant delicious homemade chicken and steak pies and a variety of hot food like chicken nuggets and chicken pieces. You can telephone ahead to make your order to save time. Go soon and enjoy,

First rate. Food prepared as you order. Home made pies. Top notch, very popular owner & staff are a joy

The place needs a Michelin star. Nice happy staff too.

A friendly local chippy .. that so busy that you can phone beforehand and it be hot ready waiting for you .top marks

Went here for the first time after discovering that McCoy’s fish and chip shop by Asda is a cash only operation when I only had card. To make matters worse all the cash machines at Asda were out of service. So I went looking for an alternative. After seeing some good reviews on Google I decided to drive to Nessy’s and so pleased I did. Great food, really friendly staff and decent prices. I think we have found our new go to local fish and chip shop. Will definitely be back from no on. Highly recommended.

Great chippy, great service and always good food A☆

Brilliant freshly cooked polite proffesional service

Amazing fish n chips, the batter is perfection. Also very polite and friendly.

Super chippy, with nice staff. 🙂

Just moved, first time in here tonight! Absolutely delicious, will definitely be coming back! The staff are so lovely too, made me feel so welcome to the area and some top tips of what’s about locally. Thank you Nessy’s!!!

They cook fish and chips just right, at a reasonable price, and the staff are friendly too. I would place this in my top 5 of the best fish and chip takeaways in Southend, and being a seaside town, there is a lot of competition!

Best fish and chip takeaway in Shoebury. The owner is local and works the fryers himself so he really cares about the quality of the food. The service at the counter is quick, efficient, friendly and the girls have never got my order wrong. I never go anywhere else.

A lot of my chips had lots of eyes and peel. Above the usual acceptable amount.

Always the best and no wait if you phone first...AND they have gluten-free chips!

Will never go back food was absolutely awful. Ate here before and it’s been ok, however this experience has put me off for life.

Good fish and chips and very friendly atmosphere

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips Can't go wrong here also pleasant friendly staff

I call this the The Sportsmans: Decent little snack yesterday. Large cod, Steak pie, large battered sausage, Pancake Roll, bread and butter roll, chips, curry sauce and gravy washed down with a can of Rio. All extremely pleasurable apart from Pancake Roll but I'll let them off that! Also worth noting that prices are very reasonable. #currysauce is amazing 👏 4 stars from me!

Great fish and chips and friendly staff.

Excellent chippy. Best in Southend

Best fish and chips in Southend. Fresh, not too much batter and decent chips. Guy in there is also friendly and looks like he’s always working hard to make his customers feel welcome

Brilliant fish and chips cooked fresh as well

Good fish n chips. Bless the lady serving in hot weather though!

This is the most disgusting fish and chip shop I have ever experienced in my life! The oil was clearly very old with a horrible taste to it. The fish was cooked from frozen NOT FRESH and the batter was so thick and greasy, I could vomit just thinking about it. This place cannot have passed its food hygiene inspection. WARNING ⚠️ DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH!

A gem of a place. Buy here to avoid, stupid unauthentic Southend mush

Pretty good fish and chips just what was needed after kitesurfing would go again.

Just what was needed after a busy day. Good service and cheerful staff.

Great food, always fresh and good gluten free options

Thought this would be good way to end a morning on the beach and the reviews seemed good. Sadly my own experience wasn’t. The batter for the cod was greasy and the 2 large chips portions were mediocre. The board said you could buy halves which I’d not heard of but apparently it’s just a small portion with the plate only half full. So I asked what a large was. The woman indicated a portion about double so I thought great I’ll have 2 larges. When I got back to the car and opened the bag the chip portions were a joke! I can’t recommend this place… unless you want greasy fish and small chip portions charged as a large.

First time we have tried this shop found food to be of a high standard.

Best cod and chips in Shoeburyness 😁

I don't understand the good reviews here. Took myself out for a day off at the beach today and wanted to end it with a traditional fish 'n' chips supper. I'd read the reviews and made a beeline for this chippie, but I found the batter was really greasy, the chips underdone and even greasier and even the gherkin didn't smell right! The oil didn't smell good and I couldn't eat it and binned the lot. Sorry. I hate doing bad reviews, but if they want to keep the good ones, they need to not serve this level of food. I only gave 2 stars because they were sort of friendly.

Love this place. Best chippy in the area for me. Great food

Go here quite regularly very nice staff & the food is great too.

Always fantastic service, thoroughly recommend the Pasty's as well.

Brilliant fish and chips, would highly recommend

Always visit after day on the beach at Shoeburyness...Good Fish And chips meal deal.... Perfect ending to a good day out

Fabulous Fish and Chips served by attentive,friendly staff. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious....phoned order through...10min wait for it to be ready. As I walked in it was being bagged up. 2 med cod and chips. Could easily have done with 1 portion of chips between us. Highly recommend.

Good fish & chips but try the curry sauce, definitely worth it. Order by phone to save some waiting as very popular

Reasonable priced, cooked as ordered.

Terrible service waiting 20minutes for a portion of chips from a chip shop.

Wow! The pies are in a league of their own. I called the manager tonight as I was blown away by the Cornish pasties. He told me makes them himself! What a very talented guy he is. A few years ago Harrods sold fabulous Cornish pasties and I used to treat myself to one if I was in London, then they changed suppliers and the later ones were never as good. Nessy's pasties are every bit as good as those original Harrods ones. I will be going back for more!

Very Good local fish and chips. Home made pies are great

Good value for money ordered by phone always ready to pick up.

Absolute best chippy. Fish is fabulous, chips are tasty and sausage in batter are the best. All staff really lovely too.

Great chippy. Generous portion sizes, great quality. Excellent pies (I believe they were homemade), lovely proper chippy chips, fast service. There are a number of chippys in the area, this is the best.

40 something years of eating fishing chips from here, Bill is a ledgend, the girls are always happy and smiley,.

Freshly fried Haddock... old oil and very old tasteless discolured tough fish. Did not have time to return but felt they knew it was sub-standard when they served and wrapped. Will not be going back.

Best place in shoebury for fish and chips

The best chippie in Shoebury in my opinion. Clean and friendly - unlike other options locally who (last time I checked) had poor star ratings. Owner always good for a chat too, and will help with any requirements you have like skin off etc.

Excellent fish and chips, always, from Nessy's, good service and good price.

Delicous gluten free battered sausage and chips, friendly staff and very covid safe.

Always good food and great service

Shooting myself in the foot here saying how good Bill's home made fish cakes are as the next time I want one they will be all gone by you readers looking for recommendations. But hey Bill will have to make more, a win win, win...

We've been coming to this fish bar for nearly 6 years. Its consistently fantastic. Fish is always cooked fresh (and to perfection), the fish itself is clearly of a high standard. Staff are really friendly. Can't recommend enough.

good value,food very tasty and the staff were very helpful ,the food was ready in quick time,we will return

First time using this chippy service good food excellent will definitely use it more often would highly recommend 10 out of 10.

Crispy batter, fresh chips, fresh fish. What more do you want. They provided friendly service and did not charge me extra for ketchup. I love a good chippy, and the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the chips were not triple fried. Otherwise i took it down to East Beach Park and enjoyed it with the lovely view. I will definitely go back.

I found Nessys on my phone while travelling round the area last Saturday, and I was not disappointed. The service was nice and friendly, and the food was lovely. I had a steak pie, which I believe are hand made, and was very tasty. As for the chips (cheesy) I can't remember having better, they were delicious. I will definitely be returning.

Awesome food and customer service 👌

Excellent fish and chips lovely batter sausage . Best chip shop not just locally but prob within southend . My parents even like it and my mum is very fussy . Would def recommend . Bill and girls do a brilliant job .
