Excellent Fish & Chips at reasonable prices without compromising the portion size like others. I have tried all the others over the years but Gold River is the only one who turns out quality fish and chips without issue.
Has got to be the best fish and chips I've had in a long time! The guys behind the counter are always cheery and welcoming, fantastic place ☺️
Probably the best fish and chip shop in Chelmsford! I travel across town for this and it's worth every penny. If you order the haddock, you're practically ordering a small whale 🐳 the portions are huge!! Love it!
Local fish and chips, always great food and great friendly service. Been going here for 15 years or so and never disappoints. Great place.
This chip and fish takeaway is quite simply the best you will ever have the pleasure of trying. People should come from far and near, just to try this man’s chip and fish. Any review that is below five stars is a complete joke and you shouldn’t bother reading it.
Too many fish and chip shops pre cook the fish to provide a faster service. Gold River however only cook to order. This ensures the batter is crisp and holds the fish in a golden, crunchy cocoon. I have used this shop for over 20 years and maintain it is the best in Chelmsford. The fish cakes are also something to be tried, almost have a home made quality to them.
Still the best in Chelmsford
They are fab people and the f&c are some of the best I've had in this country. I'd like to say how away, I'm not sharing but it's always packed.
Friendly staff, generous portion, good food
Has to be the best fish and chip takeaway in Essex. Amazing quality of food very friendly staff. Recommend 100%
Love this place! We always travel from about 20 minutes away but it is absolutely worth it. When you order a large fish you definitely get a large fish. It has a crispy batter and tastes lovely. Chips are nice and flavourful aswell. Staff are very friendly also. In my opinion it is the best fish and chip shop in Essex!
Great fish and chips, generously sized portions and welcoming, friendly staff. Get involved.
This is the best fish and chips in Essex , probably in the country! Everything is perfectly cooked, quantity is generous, quality is excellent. Tried many times with that unique delicious flavour. Can’t recommend enough.
Back in our home town after decades away. Great google maps find, great food and lovely friendly staff. Would recommend.
From our experience The Gold River is by far the best Fish and Chip takeaway in Chelmsford. The fish is always freshly cooked as you wait, it will cause a minor hiatus to getting your food but it is worth it. The staff are invariably friendly and, especially in pre - Covid - days, happy to chat - naturally, providing they are not too busy. Most people currently seem to choose to place their order and wait outside for the friendly wave which announces it is ready for them to collect. Very happy to recommend The Gold River.
Yummiest fish & chips around, best in the UK that we've tried so far! The plaice was very fresh with tasty & crispy batter, lovely chips too. Super friendly & efficient service to add. We have a chippy near us in Great Baddow but Gold River is worth the drive. A must try!
Can't be beaten on quality or value for money. Best chippy I've come across by miles generous portions of beautiful fresh cooked fish and chips - even the oap meal deal which comes with chips is decent size nice thick fillet. No comparison to portion sizes locally some of which are tiny and more expensive . Lovely staff, spotlessly clean shop, parking is no problem - have to wait at busy times but well worth the wait
Fantastic service and delicious fish and chips. The staff are very friendly. Recommended.
Absolutely the best fish and chip shop. Staff very friendly and helpful always very polite
