Rainbow fish bar in Colchester

Quality has gone downhill fast. The chips all stuck together and the fish had rubbery batter, skin on and oil was not drained. Pretty grim.

Gone downhill, can only think a new fryer. The chips all stuck together and they managed to overcook the fish and leave the batter rubbery. Shame, we used several times last year and the food was great, the fish was skinned, unlike today, and the oil drained off, unlike today.

We had haddock and chips to takeaway. It was absolutely delicious and loads of it. Probably the best we’ve ever had. Counter and equipment was immaculately clean. Well done rainbow fish bar.

Came here for my dinner last night, I won’t be coming here again! I had 4 different orders all of which got messed up, when I brought this to the owners attention he proceeded to shout and swear at me infront of my kids, when he finally gave me my order, the smell was horrendous it smelt like the fish was gone off the chips were cold and near solid absolutely disgusting!!

Went to what looked like a nice place to eat how wrong we were ordered fish and chips X5 and what we got was probably the worst food I've ever been served in a take away and when we complained the owner swore at us Infront of my children absolutely terrible food & service we couldn't eat the food as the fish smelt wrong the chips had been cooked in oil I'm guessing was months old would not feed this food to my dog awful

Visited as I was staying/looking after my poorly parents & felt I needed a treat. Having grown up in the area my family have used this fish and chip shop for as long as I can remember & I'm now 50, although I can safely say I won't be again. Had a vegi burger and chips. Vegi burger tasted like a piece of deep Fried stuffing - gross. The roll it was in tasted so processed it wasn't worth eating either. I'd hardly eaten all day but having forced down half of it decided I'd rather go hungry. The chips, which were marginally better were nothing to right home about. Within 2 hours of eating I was suffering from an upset tummy which may or may not have been connected (although that's generous as I have no idea what else may have caused it). A real shame as a visit to the chip shop at Earls Colne was always such a childhood treat.
