Best fish and chips in Holland on Sea (much better than the Golden Fillet). Cooked fresh and really tasty. Portions are huge (bordering on ridiculous). I’d definitely recommend the regular rather than large. And, even then, you could split the chips between two to three people. (I’m a big guy and can eat). It’s a bit on the pricey side.

My husband and I were so impressed with this Fish and Grill shop. My husband chose Fish and chips, really good portion and the fish was huge, fresh and tasty. I chose the chicken shish on pitta. Pete cooked it fresh and the amount of chicken breast in the pitta was amazing. With this came a little pot of salad and I had the offer of a number of sauces I opted for tomato. Delicious and well worth the money. So impressed I went back in to tell him how much I enjoyed it and said I was going to leave a review on here. If we return to Holland on sea I will definitely head back to Petes for food

I walked in thinking it was a customer leaving at the door and the gentleman held the door open, it turned out he worked there. If Pete was the gentleman cooking he was a pleasure to speak to and the food was as fresh as it comes. Ladies and gentlemen, all these businesses are struggling with high gas and electricity prices, much higher than you have at home as the government put bo cap on for business like they did home bills. Please support this great shop

Went here for some food, didn't expect a laurel & hardy experience, ordered 2 doner kebabs and 2 saveloys, the doner kebab needed more colour, it was edible just wrong shade of cooked, a member of staff had to run to the co-op to get a lettuce as asda had none and two more customers wanted kebab, one customer complained that his delivery the previous night was abysmal so he came in tonight and ordered the exact same meal and was charged .50p more, being told prices went up and they had to charge more, and to cap it all me saveloys came out of the microwave, the dog was not amused (lol). Honestly they were trying however it was comedy worth the wait.

Just wanted to point out that a lot of the negative reviews on here are NOT honest reviews. Most are made by other competing fish and chip shops in the local area trying to tarnish this business' well respected reputation, and the other few are from ex disgruntled employees. Anyone who uses Pete's Fish and Grill knows the excellent quality they deliver, also their prices are some of the fairest in all of Holland-On-Sea. I find it appaling that people can leave a negative review because they attempt to buy food at peak times when things are busy and are made to wait a little longer than expected.

The worst food I have ever eaten (Tried to) Politely rang today and asked to speak to the owner rather than going in with other customers present, The person I spoke to said "wants to speak to you" I heard a voice saying to him tell them the owners not here .(The phone was put down on me) Having been a regular customer disappointed that last night we ordered our normal Cod and Chips and a battered sausage, after driving a couple of miles home opened the box to discover the items were almost cold and oil was dripping out of the box. After plating up the items and preparing to eat discovered that the chips were soggy and not cooked properly , the batter on the sausage and fish didn't appear to be cooked and when I tasted the fish the white cod was brown and tasted like rancid fat. In all honesty after having an upset stomach for the last 15 hours thought I would ring the boss to see if they had a problem and maybe he hadn't been here last night. (Not for a freebie or refund) but trying to help as we never had this problem before. Make your own conclusion now as to the type of person you are buying from. Sorry you asked for it and lost a local customer. In Reply to the owner then who was Pete that served my wife?

They are on some of the food apps and you can phone the order in advance which I would recommend if you don't like to wait, it's not that there slow it's that they have a good reputation and are busy. Treat yourself to the home made calamarie it is great.

The food was okay but the service was some of the worst that I have ever experienced. The staff were complaining about their drivers, swearing about customers and were sarcastic within earshot of the patrons. They openly criticised anyone that they felt deserved it, including me. I had placed a simple order of sausage and chips which they managed to get this wrong which I didn't inform them of. I thought it was just best to take it and leave for fear of further ridicule. Clearly I won't be going back.

Five star meals when Pete the owner is there. He listens properly when you give your order. Very friendly and has that personal touch as if you are the only customer. We always request our kebab meat to be cooked 'well done' And we get what we want. When Pete isnt there the staff forget and we are left disappointed. Pete was there on Saturday and the kebab was amazing! Meat perfect! Salad very fresh and chips great! We live in London and visit Holland on Sea when we can and always order from Pete's :)

My wife ordered a fish feast and we ordered a kids meal for our daughter. We got home and I had no salad and no sauce in my kebab, my wife had no bread roll with her fish feast and our daughter's kids meal didn't come with a toy which it used to. Food was nice but a bit annoyed about all the things they'd forgotten.

Asked for cod no batter so they grilled it. Was told 5 minutes wait but was more like 15-20mins wait. When l got home and looked at my fish the colour was grey, it smelt horrendous and looked like sludge. Took one mouthful and spat it out!! Gave the fish to my dog when it was cool and unfortunately she was ill the next day. Never will l go there again or recommend this place to anyone.

Classic seaside fish & chips place. Food freshly cooked. Takeaway. Decent range. Minimarket (offie) over the road. Service friendly but rather slow - a result of how busy they were. Lot of people milling around the service counter, in each others way; would advise them to try to organise a better waiting system eg give a number to each order? There are tables inside but seemed hot and noisy.
