The Waterfront Chippy in Southend-on-Sea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The waitress was an absolute star, she persevered with two pensioners. The fish and chips were a tad disappointing, though the fish was well cooked, the chips were suffering from anaemia. I would struggle to describe the mushy peas but my wife's side salad was brilliant. All in all, a little disappointing, though we would go again.

The food here is awesome, I gonna tell everyone

Fantastic food!! BEST fish and chips ive had!! Great service and owner was a great host!! 1000000% recommend

Excellent quality fish. Fast and friendly service. Went the extra mile to help us find a taxi.

summer going to the Essex coast for a day out from London (for an event) and popped into a fish and chip restaurant that was recommended. the waterside restaurant. nicely decorated. comfortable seating. nice background music. friendly staff. and most important of all: fantastic food. good value for money

We called into the waterfront, with 4 people,3 wheelchairs and walker plus 3 staff from our care home today. The staff were very kind and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Mostly we had fish and chips which was superb and we would definitely go there again

Lukewarm chips (and that's being generous) soggy thin batter on the overcooked mushy (and very slim) large fish fillet and the fish tasted like it had been cooked in old oil. On a plus, the mushy peas were nice.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The prices are good for a seaside town. The coffee is amazing and the food, from the cooked breakfast to cod and chips, are a treat. The fish is daily brought and very fresh. The chips are homemade, not frozen. It maybe only small but it is lovely. The cook and owner is lovely and even comes out to make sure everything is ok. They are lovely people. We recommend the cafe for anyone and the take window, is the same quality food you buy from the cafe. xxxx

Amazing food the staff is lovely and just generally a really nice place. Quick service too

They spent more time thinking through the wallpaper than the fish or chips. Honestly, some of the most disappointing fish and chips I’ve seen, outside a Tesco frozen aisle. It was all mushy, not just the peas. Also, the service was confused and slow. They forgot our drinks and we sat without cutlery for a while, after our food was in front of us, getting colder. Won’t be back.

Amazing service and good food! Will be returning!

Lovely food lovely service, tell the girl with brown hair and black top to add that: kburty_14 snap and insta.

Great food, lovely friendly staff, and good value for money. The Musy peas are maybe the best I have ever had. Highly recommended.

Beautiful chips in fact best ever I don’t know why people have been giving bad reviews

Lovely staff, amazing food and very nice to sit outside and enjoy!

The best Mr Whippey ice cream around and great fish and chips that are fresh!

We were drawn the lovely new interior and were so impressed and very happy with the service and food. I accidentally poured sugar on my chips and got given a new portion free of charge. The manager, Tommy, and his staff, Ruben and Lindsay, were warm, friendly and helpful. PS great tunes, thanks for putting on the Craig David ❤️❤️❤️

Very good fish, nice proper chips, and a decent mug of tea.

Really friendly staff, and a good choice of food, freshly cooked.

Me and my friend had a ve delicious lunch yesterday here. A huge portion of fish and crispy chips fried in fresh oil. Tom and Sylvia organized an excellent service. If you add a great location of the restaurant, this is the best place to visit in Southend!

Staff was very polite and the food was lovely. The restaurant was clean and the overall customer service was great

Fantastic fish and chips! Best one on the strip.

The guy was blessed cold service ❤️

Been coming to Southend for a yearly trip for the past 10 years, and I cannot believe I’ve only discovered this place today!!!! Absolutely brilliant service and the fish and chips there speaks for itself. I’ll always be visiting this place from now on!!!!!

Terrible service. A woman was super rude to me and my sister when we were paying to eat in. Price is ridiculous for eating in. Never coming again.

Absolutely fabulous food, great and friendly staff. Thanks a lot for nice meal.

Advertising all day breakfast but don't serve after 12pm, jumbo battered sausage was an ordinary sausage in burnt batter...where're the chips??! Food cold

We went yesterday for fish and chips. The staff were soooo friendly. food was great too. Thank you!

Nice service nice staff food was good .

We visited bank holiday monday and only went for a coffee, the staff are friendly and helpful and answered some questions about the coffee which is easily the best coffee we have had in ages. The barista this day made the perfect coffee and the staff are so friendly and polite. If I could give 10 stars I would, and i am guessing the owner is a Elvis Presley fan

Nica place and the staff was so friendly. The food come quick and was fresh.

Went here yesterday with my sister; food and service were exceptional. Would recommend and definitely will return next time I'm in Southend.

The food is absolutely dreadful for example the chips was like a seagull had got them out of a bin and they found them on the street and put them in the microwave and served them and don't even get me started on the price £9.50 for a jacket potato it's daylight robbery please avoid like covid-19

A very disappointing experience indeed. 20/10/2020 afternoon. I had a a take away Fish & Chips (2 of them take away), well really chocking the rude and cold customers service, not only that, even the Chips were cold. for 16 quids its really rubbish.

Great food at good prices, nice atmosphere and staff would definitely recommend 👌

Good food. Friendly staff. Great if you can sit outside. Thankfully has a loo for customers too.

Try Fish & Chips of this restaurant. And also amazing people!

The owner is incredibly nice, and a hard working man. Had a great time, food was very nice and the service is 10/10!

The owner Albie was friendly and polite, whilst taking an interest in our day and ensuring we enjoyed our food and visit. Good selection and fair prices close to the pier!

Good food and service, but overpriced even for prime location

Great cafe good food nice people

Food was appalling, i had battered sausage and chips, the battered sausage was rock solid and the actual sausage was horrible and the chips was your standard cheap oven chips.. Wont be attending ever again

Was indeed watery on the front, it was raining

I was really worried when I saw the reviews, however my family and I had a wonderful experience. My Mother who is EXTREMELY hard to please enjoyed it. The service was simply FABULOUS!!!!

Food tasted like something you could make at home from the freezer.

Horrible cold chips. The sign outside said 'traditional fish and chips'. Couldn't have been further from the truth. More like frozen chips

Do not recommend this place, chips are really bad and a veggie burger was just a roll with a tiny frozen burger. Avoid as there are better places to eat in Southend-on-Sea
