Quick info
About Royal Dolphin | Dagenham
Royal Dolphin on Wood Lane in Dagenham is a walk-in fish and chips takeaway with counter service and no sit-down room on site. The menu centres on the classic fish and chip shop lineup, with battered or fried fish and chips joined by burgers, fried chicken, kebabs and doner, including a lamb shish option for those after something off the standard chippy list. Orders are placed at the counter for collection, and delivery is also available to surrounding streets in the area. Portions are notably generous, often coming out larger than the price might suggest, and the format suits a quick weekday tea or a weekend pickup on the way home from work.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on this chippy. Praise centers on generous portions of fish and chips, with several calling the staff friendly and the food tasty and good value, and one singling out the lamb shish. Others report the opposite: cold food, undercooked chips, a fish piece an inch wide, soggy burgers and cod, and one complaint of only one small pot of chilli and garlic mayo on a large order.

- Curtis Cooper
“Been absolutely horrendous since the old owner left ages ago, his staff soon following. New staff lack the class and community ties, and produce an overall lower quality of service and food. Chips often come out anemic, with the burgers and cod soggy, and often quite sad. Shame to see my local fall from grace, but I don’t feel bad, as it is every fault of their own.”
- Lucy La roche
