Most Disliked
While Anchor Fish & Chips garners much praise, some diners find the lack of delivery service a downside. In today’s fast-paced world, a few customers wish they could enjoy the delicious menu from the comfort of their home. Additionally, during peak times, especially on Saturdays at 8 PM, waiting times can increase significantly due to being at full capacity. This might deter dining during the busiest hours.
Some visitors also mention a desire for more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Despite these minor drawbacks, Anchor maintains a solid fan base, and the positive aspects overwhelmingly outshine any negatives.

Having recently moved into the area, we recently tried Anchors fish and chips. I can honestly say that the quality of the food was great. Perfectly battered fish, chips were great and lots of extras were available. Very reasonably priced too. We shall be returning soon!

Best takeaway fish and chips around, I have to drive to get fish and chips and would rather drive here than to any fish and chip shop in Epping. On this occasion I was travelling back from an event in Romford and called up to order my food so didn't have to wait as the fish and chips are cooked to order for the most part. Once again we were not disappointed.
