My Plaice Fish & Chips

In Harlow, My Plaice Fish & Chips has become something of a local fixture for those who know their way around a proper chippy tea. This takeaway keeps things admirably straightforward, focusing on the classics that have sustained the British seaside tradition for generations. It's the kind of place where the fryer is always hot and the portions generous.

The menu reaches beyond fish and chips—burgers and kebabs are also on offer—but the stars are the golden, crispy battered cod and chunky chips that arrive steaming in their paper wrapping. The batter is light and shatters satisfyingly, revealing flaky white fish within. For a reliably good feed that doesn't overcomplicate things, this Harlow spot delivers exactly what you'd hope for, and you can order directly online for collection or delivery.
