"I had a takeaway, a large cod and medium chips. The cod was huge and not only well battered but was also was skinless. The chips were nice as well. Over all the food was nice and I would go back. Total cost £12.50 which is a very good price. its a thumbs up from me."

"The tastiest fish and chips in Southend by a long way. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly. It's a bit further away for us to travel for a takeaway, but always our first choice. The cod bites are amazing."
