The Friary - Southend-on-Sea

Stopped off for a large portion of chips. They were huge and reasonably priced. Crossed over and ate them on the beach. Good location. Looked very clean and staff were friendly.

One of the best fish and chips i’ve had! I had portion of chips and chicken strips. Was really tasty and want to go back again.

Pretty good F&C at thr Friary, just on the seafront by Southchurch Park.

A flying visit for mother I. Visiting the Cliffs Pavillion and had a craving for F C. Friary had good reviews and we swung on by. Cod chips each and I had mushy peas. We climbed over the sea wall on a windy November night and sat on soke benches in the same. A decent meal, fish was boneless and the chips were nice. I would say both items could've done with a minute or 2 more frying for crispness bylut that's my personal taste. The mushy peas were volcanic in their heat but the pea and liquid had separated somewhat and had settled into 2 distinct layers. I wolfed mine down greedily and enjoyed every bite, like a true Brit I do love a Fish Chip supper.

Sadly the only thing open on a Tuesday evening. Portion extremely small, taste very average
