This is my local chippy and it's good enough, although calling itself 'Paradise' is a bit of an…read moreexaggeration, it is still a chip shop after all. The shop itself always seems to be busy which is great because it means you don't get stuck with a piece of fish that has been resting under a heat lamp all day and your chips are still nice and crispy, not soggy with grease. Personally I'm not a fan of battered fish with its skin still on though because it never seems to crisp up nicely, it just gets a bit soggy. This is not a phenomena unique to the Paradise Fish Bar though so I do have to forgive it. Paradise is obviously very popular with a lot of the locals and school kids. On your walk up to Newington Green its rare not to see at least a few people holding bags of chips soaked in salt and vinegar. The service is always quick and friendly and the prices very reasonable. Paradise also makes a very welcome break from all the fried chicken chains which seem to dominate the area. I'd take fish, chips and mushy peas over greasy fried chicken and limp straw fries any day of the week.

This place is my local chippy. Since Evelyn's last post the place has changed hands and had a bit…read moreof a makeover. The new owners have invested in different oil, which certainly has made the chips (and fried fish) much more crispy. The first time I went back over after they changed hands, I had a bag of chips, which I ate ALL of.....including the crispy bits, which I'm not a great fan of. Some of the prices have gone up a bit (chips are now £1.20 from £1), but you can get fish & chips from £4.50, which is pretty good for this day and age. I have to confess that I'm in there once a week now, so trust me, you will give it a go, and I'm also sure you'll love it too. Alan

I absolutely love cod so I ate all of it as an appetizer. Fish and Chips - The fish was cooked to order. I'm not sure about the chips but they were both hot when it came out to me so I was happy about that. It took about 10-15 minutes to get the order on the table for me so I know the food was cooked when I ordered it, not before. I appreciated this. The tables are a little bit dirty until one of the employees came out to clean them. I wanted to try their wings but they didn't have any at the time. So be careful about their menu because they may not have certain items on there due to availability. I'd say this is a nice spot if you're looking for a quick bite to eat!

After a long walk from Chipping Ongar, we trudged into the centre of Shenfield feeling quite…read morehungry. On Hutton Road (effectively Shenfield's high street), nearly opposite the railway station, we spotted Fish to Go, a takeaway fish and chip shop that also has a sit-down restaurant area. There didn't seem to be anything else nearby that we fancied, so we decided to give it a try. Fish and chips is a standard fast food meal but the quality can vary a lot. In this case, Fish to Go seems to offer very good quality. We ordered two meals (one haddock and chips, and one cod and chips) and both were freshly cooked to order. Portions were on the generous side and both the fish and the chips tasted very good. The service was very polite and friendly, too.

It's a welcome relief from the various terrible kebab and chicken shops that otherwise swamp this part of London, this place sells chips not fries and reminds you, if only briefly, of walks along the sea-front, boater hats and donkey rides, in short it injects a good healthy dose of Britishness right into your arteries. I you happen to be walking by I thoroughly recommend this excellent little takeaway.

The restaurant is spotless, from top to bottom. The service is excellent, as it is provided by the owners, husband and wife. Anastasia will right away make you feel at home and serve you the best fish you'll try in London, or in England for that matter. Having visited various cities and restaurants in this country, I haven't found anything coming even close to Anastasia's place. The fish is fresh and made to perfection. You can choose fried or grilled. You can have chips (the quality is simply beyond words) or a fresh Greek salad that is simply delicious. All ingredients are of the outmost quality and freshness. This last visit I was very pleased to see that an inspector had come to check the place and granted them not only a five (highest rating for cleanliness) but he also went to the extent of congratulating them on their menu choices (see pictures attached). If you're looking for fish and chips, this is THE PLACE to visit.

Well it must be good as it is still around so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered sausage and chips to take away.

Instead they were abit soft and almost soggy (I suppose it depends how you like your chips ?!). I noticed they had a good sized seating area and a special deal for pensioners (I must tell my mum).
