Salt And Vinegar - Southend-on-Sea

Really impressed by my first order placed. We ordered two 1/2 Pounder Cheeseburger and Chips. The food was cooked and delivered within 15 minutes, including two drinks was under £ 15.

I was there with my family on Thursday. It changed the owner a few weeks ago. The service was brilliant, the fish and chips were beautiful. The dough was really crispy and the chips great! We would definitely return.

A little lunch. The owner was very interested in talking to me as I own a local business and helped me choose what I wanted for lunch. In the end I sat down on a simple chips and curry sauce and I have to say one of if not the best chips and curry sauce I've ever tried. My order was freshly cooked before me, so chips where hot and crispy with a beautiful soft fluffy center and as for the curry sauce, AMAZING! Will return to try other articles. Thanks Alex.

The food was outstanding, and the service was excellent. What's really impressive is their use of different oils for their fries and meat dishes, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. The prices are reasonable considering the generous portion sizes. I will definitely return when I'm in the area again.

Thought I'd do my bit to support a local business and buy my fish and chips from here instead of from my favourite chippy. Saw loads of 5 star reviews which made me think it would be worth trying. However... I was unimpressed: shop was EMPTY on a Saturday night. Average, bland tasting food. Cod was large but thin. Chips: small handful of burnt ones among some very pale, anaemic looking crispy ones. Not enough salt and vinegar on it to add flavour, so I added more at home. Still not a massive improvement funny aftertaste...slightly bitter? Good fish and chips SMELL like fish and chips. These? Very little aroma. Also couldn't help but notice huge patches of dust and cobwebs in the corners of the shop's ceiling someone needs to give the place a good clean! Sorry, S&V, I won't be buying again from you.
