Customers rave about the freshness of the fish, often stating that the cod is on point, perfectly battered and fried to a crispy golden brown. Many also appreciate the variety of menu items, enjoying optional add-ons like spicy chicken wings and chili sauce, which elevate the experience. The family-friendly environment draws praise, with spacious seating accommodating both groups and solo diners. The friendly and efficient staff enhance the experience, ensuring customer satisfaction. Moreover, the addition of a superb tea selection makes it a perfect spot for a cozy meal or quick takeaway.
Royal Fish & Chips stands out by offering halal options, making it inclusive for a wider public. The robust community support is evident through repeat customers who love the consistent quality and value.
Most Disliked
Some customers have noted the busyness during peak hours, particularly on Wednesdays at 9 PM, leading to a bit of a wait for food. Although the staff works hard during rush periods, some patrons feel rushed, affecting the overall dining experience. There are occasional reviews mentioning that the cutlery and takeaway packaging are plastic, sparking a desire among environmentally conscious customers for more sustainable options. Another point of contention is that certain menu items may not be available during peak times, which can frustrate diners looking for specific dishes, especially popular options like chicken nuggets or burgers. Lastly, while cleanliness of facilities is generally well-received, a few guests remarked on varying levels of upkeep during very busy service times.

Fantastic fish and chips joint in Southend, Tasty, fresh and reasonably priced, the cod and chips were on point and they also had a full selection of sauces including proper chilli sauce. They do not use beer batter so suitable for a halal diet. Staff were friendly too and were wearing gloves which was good to see.

If you want good, decent food and a good price this is your place, plus its Halal too, staff were rushed off their feet but the quality of the food and speed wasn't compromised its only like a mile away from the sea front in the town centre, plus plenty of parking few minutes away from the restaurant, toilets were very clean too, there is seating downstairs and upstairs went during the busy lunch hour and still plenty of seating, staff are nice and friendly and helpful too.
