Yates - Tendring

This is our favorite fish and chip shop. We drive to Frinton and enjoy a nice walk to Walton. Yesterday, I had the grilled fish and chips (I have a gluten intolerance). We were the first customers through the door and sat by the window in the sun. It was the best way to spend a Sunday. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else for fish and chips. The fish was delicious and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was perfect.

I just ordered takeout from this restaurant and I must say, we were incredibly impressed. The fish had a light, crispy batter, generous portion of chips, and was great value for the price. I would definitely come back to eat here again.

Walked in asked to take a table , unfortunately there wasn’t any that was cleared of previous dinners crockery , eventually cleared but not cleaned , ordered food asked for condiments and was informed that that they didn’t offer brown sauce at all . Got a refund left , we have eaten here on many occasions always had a good meal , it’s such a shame that the standards have dropped so low , no clean tables , food scraps on the floor basic condiments not supplied

I have been visiting Walton on the Naze, off and on, for 30+ years. I have had a number of friends that live/lived in the area, and every one of them has always recommended Yates, as their 'Go to ' Fish and chips outlet. If you are new to the area firstly, let me tell you, that we incomers/ daytrippers, are known to the locals, as Chip eaters Personally, I don 't find this derogatory term. However, when I am this close to the Sea, I am aware that I should be able to buy, the best Fish Chips ever because the fish is so super fresh!? Well, if you are visiting, and if you want the absolute best fish chips in Walton...go to Yates. It 's a Fish Chip shop not to be mistaken with a Michelin restaurant... but, it is the best around, great portions, and a good price. You can eat in or takeaway, but whatever you do, its probably the best Fish Chips that you will ever taste. Highly recommend that you try it.

Amazing food, fresh, not greasy, probably best I have had in the UK in past 10+ years. Well worth the drive out, great table service. Well done we will be back
