The lady who served me was nice. The fish was tasty, just two things. Ask customers if they’re eating in or taking away, I still gave 4 stars because she offered me to sit outside for free which was nice. Also, it’s nice to offer customers salt and vinegar if they want it on, my fish was wrapped very quickly and I didn’t want to be a bother and ask her to unwrap it and season it. Other than that I think the fish is worth the price given it was made fresh to order and was actually one of the best fish I’ve had! I’ll definitely give it another try. Edit ** I appreciate your response, and want to be very clear that it was my first time attending you restaurant and I saw signs about gluten free options but nothing regarding seating stood out to me?? I was not asked if I was eating in or taking away when I arrived. And I wasn’t offered salt and vinegar. I understand that maybe you want to defend your business but please don’t gaslight me in the process.

Great food, gluten-free options, and the staff are very nice. Never get an order wrong. Never a long wait despite the fact they are always really busy. Bit more expensive than some fish and chip shops, but I've tried a few others locally, and they don't compare. Best curry sauce!

Came here for lunch today and had the best experiance ever , the fish was cooked lovely and fresh , the chips where amazing crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. My friend was gluten free and we was surprised on how many gluten free options they do . They also do gluten free ketchup , mayonnaise, tar tar sauce and vinger !!!! The service was fast and the girls was lovely making sure we get exactly what we wanted and explained everything in detail to us about the food and gluten free sauces So if you are ever in southend on sea looking for the best stop for a deliciouse fish and chips come to alfies fish and chips and you will not be dissapointed

A lovely little cafe in Leigh on sea. I am gluten free (gluten allergy - staff were knowledgeable and knew about shared fryers etc) and had lots of options without missing out on much (only change to English breakfast was to swap sausage out). A lovely atmosphere and if you have a dog it is a perfect spot! Look forward to returning in summer
