Mr Chips - Braintree

Ordered by phone for 12 people, was told a time to collect and one minute after our arrival it was ready for collection. Ordered various food but the burgers were not standard requests, some with mayo some without etc, not only was each burger hot tasty and exactly as requested but they wrote the contents of each burger on the lid which was so helpful when dishing up. The plaice was ginormous! We have recently moved here this will definitely be our local chippy.

Having enjoyed many excellent meals in the past from Mr. Chips I was very disappointed with tonight’s order. I ordered freshly cooked fish chips by phone earlier in the day and collected it on time. Driving home I was increasingly aware of an odd aroma. Usually there is a temptingly delicious fish chip smell in the car which sometimes results in a sneaky chip being eaten. Once served up I was disappointed with the quality of both the chips and the batter, which were flavourless and dry and I’m guessing the source of the unpleasant aroma. Fortunately the actual white fish was fine. Are the chips now the frozen oven ready type or is it something to do with the oil? Whatever has caused this deterioration in quality needs addressing. It is a shame that our local fish chip shop with a previous good reputation now appears to have dropped its standards.

Had a big order of 34 portions of a combination of fish and chips and sausage and chips. From first visit to plan to phoning and then collecting the order could not have gone better. Staff and owner so friendly and efficient. Food was piping hot which considering numbers was excellent. Thoroughly recommend and would definitely use again

Just moved to the area and used this fish and chip shop a couple of times. Both times we have ordered cod and chips, kids and adult portions are both generous fish is fresh and batter is crisp. Can’t fault it, even the mushy peas were nice

Staying with family locally and decided we 'd have fish and chips from their local takeaway. This place deserves a mention because of its exceptional quality of fish and cooking.Firstly, not all fishmongers offer skate/ray, but they do it to order so, like all of their fish, it was fresh, not oily and perfectly cooked, similarly their chips did not disappoint. Top this all off with speedy and friendly service, and this stands out as a fish 'n chip shop in the old style. If you 're in the area, it is well worth a visit.
