The Fish Inn in Tendring

Chicken missing. Phoned & guy who prepd admitted he didnt add it & apologized, manager said couldnt do anything as rest of food was put on a plate! Its now my fault? Paid for chicken but zero chicken in meal! No refund/credit/send out offered by M.

Just had the most amazing food. Prefect!

Fantastic ! Taste delicious and ready bang on time

95% of orders are spot on and really nice meals. On the odd occasion you get hit with major disappointment - unwrapped to find stone cold chips and meat in all meals, no mayo on one meal and no add-on chicken in another meal.

Very pleased, with the quality of the food, We really enjoyed it, the fish was really tasty. will definately use again.

Fish seemed to have been fried some time ago. Quite dry.

Lovely food , nice size portions. Would order again.

Took over an hour to arrive then delivered the wrong food - took 2 calls and another 90 minutes to get the correct food. When it did arrive Shish kebab was tasteless & salad was some lettuce & a few bits of cucumber. Gone downhill the last few times & this is the last straw

absolutey amazing the meal was beautiful! the homemade Tarte sauce was out of this world

Best fish and chips in Clacton! Great delivery service too 😀

original delivery time 18.30 - 18.50pm we finally got food around 19.43pm after messaging and ringing. food was only Luke warm. Drinks ordered was incorrect on delivery. worst order delivered normally great service and hot food. order here a lot but let down this time. Due to time delivered finally had to change plans arranged for evening also. would normally have given this restaurant 5 stars but not tonight unfortunately. shame.

wasn’t late due to restaurant but due to my location was difficult. food lovely! kids loved there boxes. driver friendly :)

Food was dry, chips were burnt and dry sausage in batter had no taste wrong ice cream in kids meal

Fish lovely as usual, every thing hot and tasty. Delivery with a smile

Pre ordered for 7pm, it arrived bang on the dot. And it was hot!

Chips could have been better!.

Cod was thin not large no chunks of fish especially as meant to be large.The chips were cold and mostly ends . Only thing we enjoyed was chicken and mushroom pie.This is 2nd time in a week last time chips were warm and ends as this time.

food was cold and greasy saveloy was really hard and crispy

There were no chips with the meal I tried to ring the fish inn and th phone was not answered.

Food arrived hot, missing 1 item but they sent delivery driver back round within 5 mins woth extras and a sincere apology. would recommend fish was delicious will be ordering again for sure.

Very good service and food great

Good food for the price cod was nice batter was crispy and fish flakey and the chicken fillets and hot fillet burger was spot on

Was not happy plus did not get 20 percent off for freebie Friday

I was looking forward to having my weekly treat for the 6 weeks in hospital

fast, efficient friendly staff. had a bit of a wait but that was due to it being so busy. nice and clean inside and all the food being bagged up was all freshly cooked. well done to the team working tonight.

Food was cold. No salt and vinegar on the chips. Was genuinely a stone in the middle of my chip.

Very disappointed in kebabs ordered. Tasteless, hardly any sauce, not hot and no cooked peppers just a few onions.

Fab food, hot and fresh but had to chase up order as ordered a couple of hours in advance for 7 but not delivered till just after 20 past.

Food is normally amazing and on time but today was cold and inedible driver went to wrong address and food wasn’t edible it was stone Cold

delicious food and friendly delivery, easy to recommend!

fish was good size and lovely fish but kebab meat was very small and disappointing

diet coke was delivered but other than that good

Delivery Driver wanted me to walk to meet them approx. 10 mins away from my home to collect the food. I paid for delivery.

Quick delivery and absolutely delicious

The chips have improved. However unfortunately our food was like warm/cold when it arrived. We only live 5 minutes round the corner.

Excellent food from here.Fish tastes fresh and all food arrives piping hot.Would recommend the fish inn to anybody.

Nice but they forgot my Dr Pepper :(

Awsome as always highly recommend

food is always cold , depending on who is on depends on whether they send the correct food

Best chippy in clacton in my opinion

food was greasy, chips were not as good as they were previously. felt like it was old food that they reheated. savaloy was cold

Burger was full of oil, tasted sour, bun was soggy, literally thrown together and chips were half hard and half soggy. Gutted we dont normally have issues

lovely bit of scran would highly recommend

Top marks all round as always, Thank you Guys Happy New year to you all.🥰

Easy to order..Arrived on time..all very tasty...burgers enjoyed...kebeb enjoyed...scampi enjoyed...Great place..

Great food, Great service. Many thanks once again.

He must’ve got lost as food was completely cold!

I would not spend another penny there food is shocking, I paid 9 pound for a kabab and had 4 small pieces of lamb in it with yellow pepper, place needs to be shut down absolutely crappie! Missing loads from my order and this isn't the first time! Never again will I spend my money there! Lucky I don't go there and throw it in there face!!!

Brilliant food , so tasty thank you

Food was lovely, chips fluffy and fish not greasy at all xx

because of distance food is always luke warm or cold , always need to heat it up in the microwave

The chips were cold and the sausages were dry, i couldn't even taste the salt and vinigar, disappointed its normally really nice.

Stone cold Donna meat crusty and hard

The delivery man brought our ice cream to the door but forgot our fish and chips. They had to send another person out with our delivery which was cold.

The order was also delivered to my neighbour! Which is bad enough but it was late and she’s elderly

Delivered quicker than exlected. Food was great, lovely fish, very tasty. Will be ordering again

My experience was good until 2nd December when 2 amounts were taken from bank account. One was cancelled and one was the right one. No refund received. Please investigate.

Says it’s supposed to get here at 6:35, still not even left the shop. Terrible service. Blamed the rain.

Very professional my order was missing some items once I reviewed it but I went and told them and they sorted it straight away also chucked in a freebie to apologize very polite and would definitely go again regardless of a little mistake

As the time is only an estimated time as long as it arrives and is hot, as it always is, I do not mind

Food was all cold, very disappointed

Having tried most fish and chip shops in Clacton I decided to give this one a try. I wish I’d read the reviews first! Early Friday morning 6/12/24 I placed an order for two large cod A very large portion of chips and a battered sausage to be delivered at 15:50 At writing this review at 16.10 The items still have not arrived. I gave them a telephone call and he told me that the delivery drivers don’t start until 16:00 And no one is there yet, but my order is ready and waiting to go. Why except the order for 1550 if you know damn well you’re not gonna be able to deliver at that time? Now by the time I receive my order, which could be any time that will NOT Be freshly cooked! So disappointed, And it’s not as if Fish and chips is a cheap meal these days I would’ve thought if they want to keep their customer base They would’ve been trying as hard as possible. I will update this when I actually do receive my order to let you know what time it arrived or if it even did and what the quality was like! If I could at the moment, I would give -100 Well, after the telephone call to the Fish Inn, he told me my order is ready, but they didn’t have any drivers to send it to me So it was sitting there in a warmer getting cold. On arrival at 16.20 The chips were stone cold not a very good quality, Yet the fish was pretty good. It was still hot And was cooked pretty well. We also had a battered sausage well it must’ve been all of 3 inches long I always felt battered sausages were at least double that I am going to post some photos. Very, very disappointed, considering also that I paid for delivery at 15.50 not 16:20 even though the fish was good, Everything else let it down, especially the customer service and being able to order a meal for the time of 15:50 when No drivers even start work until 1600 Is a ridiculous decision. Sorry, but It’s a big letdown from me! Photos below

Food delivered cold which is a shame but sadly not the first time either.

I do not mind if it is early or late by a few moments. It is my once a week treat to myself and as it is always hot and tasty a few minutes does not matter.

every time i order food , its always luke warm and has to be warmed up in the microwave , may be they should not deliver to Weeley and charge £3.50

The fish is normally very good but this time the skate was overcooked and dry batter was very thick did not enjoy, have been ordering from fish inn a long time never had a problem before

We had the Cheeky Tuesday discount on our order which comprised of fish,chips,pie and sausage in batter. The fish was microscopic I've never had such a small piece of fish. I have taken a photo of it to share on social media. I have used this before.

Food exelent not bad price fairly quick with order

I had five stars saved I didn’t realise they had a use by date so really disappointed

Been going for years now but last night was the worse. Placed my order, paid but when got home the large cod was the size of a small. Complained yesterday, waited until to today to give them a chance to sort it out but no reply. They’ve lost a loyal customer now!

Do not mind it being a bit late as I would think they are very busy. The food is always good and hot. Freshly cooked and this is my special treat each week.

Ordered at 5.30pm and still waiting at 7.20pm. Why give a delivery time you can’t keep.

Every time in in clacton I go here best rock ell and chips plus cod roe 5 stars every time service is lovely and really good price

Order two kebabs worst kebab I have ever had. And the fact that they weight the meat… don’t waste your money! Never seen this in any kebab shop!!! Staff could do with being more presentable and remember that they have customers around with the language and conversations.

Ordefedcod and chips fish had just been sitting there was floppy and shrivelled ¹chips were cold they kiddo frdsh but was not much better defo not going there again waist of money will go to the chippy in holland on sea has won awards and very delightful highly re omened

£10.60 for regular chip and extra small cod, tasted good but fish well not good

food was cold and for 3.50 you expect hot food , chips were not fresh ,shriveled up and too many hard crispy bit

Good quality, well cooked fish and chips.

Good food , but portion size of the chips was so small compared to usual

This is my weekly treat. Would not use anybody else.

Two scampi’s nothing in fish oily chips undercooked

My son and daughter absolutely loved it , and my sons ordered again today

food was not delivered and what was delivered was cold and really not enjoyable

Once again had the lamb kebabs didn't disappoint 😋

Good fish and chips shop run by Lukas who seems highly experienced in the trade. Ordered white backed plaice which was cooked to perfection. No greasy batter and everything cooked how it should. You pay a little extra for the money but certainly worth it. For those who have a gluten allergy they provide food GF on a Tuesday which I think is great. On top of fish and chips there is also an interesting house grill for those wanting prepared kebabs and burgers. Overall a well establish eatery with a lot going for it. Highly recommend.

Food was barely warm and delivery was very late

Food was 1 hour 20 late and cold and bland.Asked for a receipt didn’t get one, have been chasing now for 2 weeks and am now being ignored. Gave them the benefit of the doubt to sort this out at the time but to rudely ignore is not on. Instructions on order were also ignored. Would not recommend. A star for the delivery driver who was polite

I’ve ordered here before and it was nice, but the second time 2 things were missing from the order and the coleslaw was fizzy. I had to bin the coleslaw and the chips it had touched, won’t be ordering again unfortunately

Food is constantly late being delivered! Estimated time changes several times. Waiting two hours since we ordered! We have ordered from here several times and each time the same. We have given it the benefit of the doubt a few times but this is the last time we will be ordering from them unfortunately.

quality of food today is very bad, it very disappointing. Sauce, kid drinks and ice cream was missing. won't be ordered again

Portion sizes have reduced considerably and seems expensive compared to other fish and chip shops.

I love fish inns food but rather than the order being early, it would be nice if they slowed down and packed all that I order. not the first time I have had missing items. all listed so really no excuse to tick off items as packed. chips and curry sauce missing.

Absolutely fabulous I had to ring after making an online order as had to tweek the order they were more than accommodating we all had different things off the menu the food was delicious 😋 I had the mixed kebab the lamb shish was perfect I have had food from here before always very good will definitely be having more

Rang up twice to find out where it was and eventually it got here over 45 mins late. The food was barely lukewarm. Not happy! If you profess to do food then do your job. It costs enough!

Amazing food! Very yummy! Perfectly on time, thank you :)

Worse ever freezing cold rubbish poor food stay away it’s a total ripoff

was late and had no salad or sauce in any of the burgers. food nearly cold. think it was an absolute joke.

Poor service. Miss placed orders.

Usually order here often but will not be ordering again. Food was half hour late. Burgers had no sauce or salad in. Tasted like cardboard and food was nearly cold. Absolute disgrace.

Very nice and modern setup. Good choice of food. Reasonable price. Notably informal staff.
