Serene Fish and Chips on Woodford Avenue has been a Gants Hill institution since 1974, making it one of the oldest continuously running eateries near the roundabout. The menu mixes traditional British fish-and-chips — large battered cod, perfectly crisped in-house — with Turkish-influenced dishes: breaded prawns, calamari rings, lamb chops, and kebabs sit comfortably alongside the chippy staples. The Greek salad is considered a standout by long-term regulars. A sit-in dining area supplements the takeaway counter, making it a full meal destination rather than just a counter-collection operation. Ranked seventh of Ilford's Quick Bites on TripAdvisor from over 850 reviews; awarded a Dine Award for seafood.

Cant get a better Shish take away in the area. After eating with Serenes for about 15 years in the area, the big portions and quality of food is top draw and cannot be competed with. Trust me I have tried! Keep up the good work guys
