Quick info
About Riverside Fish & Chips
In Manningtree, Riverside Fish & Chips is a fish and chips takeaway at 7 Riverside Ave W. Food is cooked fresh while customers wait, with mushy peas served alongside the fish and chips and homemade fish cakes on the menu. Orders can be phoned through ahead, and a menu is available to help. A queue can build up, especially at opening times. The takeaway opens Tuesday to Saturday, daytime only, and closes on Mondays and Sundays. A catering van also takes the cooking out to events, including weddings, so the food can be served at a private occasion away from the shop.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the fish and chips, with reviewers calling the fish "perfectly cooked" and "to die for," the portions excellent, and the food freshly cooked while they wait. Close behind are the friendly staff and the homemade fish cakes, described as delicious, along with mushy peas and a battered sausage. One reviewer suggests taking curry sauce with the meal, and another suggests ringing the order through ahead because the queue can be long at opening times. One couple used the van for their wedding catering and said every guest loved the food. The complaints are specific. One reviewer waited at least 20 to 25 minutes beyond the quoted 20 for a phoned-in order. Another found the batter bland and greasy-tasting, with mushy fish, and a third reports greasy fish and undercooked chips lately. One customer received an Angus burger order that arrived wrong, and the owner apologised repeatedly.

“We have been using riverside for years, and whilst planning our wedding we thought who else would we want to do our food James was informative the whole way through, made it easy to contact him and on the day I believe we had James brother and another member of staff serving and cooking! They absolutely smashed it, it was everything and more. Every single one of our guests loved the food, the van was great for photos and food was quick and perfect! I wouldn't change a thing and riverside will definitely be my first place I go to or book going forward. If you want amazing memories, food and atmosphere please book, you won't regret it! Thank you James and team for making our big day amazing!”
