Whenever I’m in Hailsham, I always get Haddock and Chips for myself and my wife and we are never disappointed. The chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy potato inside. The Haddock is always cooked perfectly and the batter is delicious.
I have no hesitation in recommending Johns fish and chips to everybody - they are how a true fish & chip takeaway should be.

Nipped in to get some fish n chips as we had a power cut at home and had a lovely unplanned dinner. Crispy battered cod that was so white and flaky you could almost taste the sea. Plenty of lovely chips. And it was still pipping hot by the time we got home.

Our daughter lives near this fish and chip shop and we visited on a Saturday lunchtime. We had chips each which were freshly cooked and very tasty. Saw they have lunchtime specials at a very reasonable price so will be back to try them. Nice looking chip shop.

Went in to collect our food, had to wait outside for over 25 minutes for 3 portions of fish and 2 chips, we were 1 of 3 other customers waiting, when we made a comment we were met by the rude, obnoxious manager Sam who told us that if we were unhappy then we can go and get food from over the road and that they didn’t need our custom. To top it off they put way too much salt on the chips and the fish hadn’t been cooked properly so couldn’t even eat it. That was a waste of £17.85, will not be going back there

After spending 25.00 in here we were shocked to find two pieces of plaice burnt throughout not edible so was binned. Chips very pale in colour. After waiting 25 minutes for this order & they were not overly busy it was absolutely awful - Avoid unless you like burnt offerings

We have been buying fish and chips from Johns for years. The food has always been outstanding until now. What has gone wrong? The quality and size of the fish has really gone down hill, and the once amazing dark golden, crisp on the outside beautiful on the inside chips have become, pale and hard. Scampi soggy, Smaller portion sizes, and no more home made fish cakes. The icing on the cake however is one or two of the staff. One of the females uses her mask to hide behind while she is snide and treats people with utter contempt. Horrible attitude and needs some serious training. Very sad to say she has been foul to me once too often, so we will no longer be buying anything from you.

After being a costumer for the last 4 years, we have found the food very good up until the last few weeks. We ordered 1/2 chicken but received 2 legs at the cost ÂŁ5.95 which had very little meat on them and was raw in places I called and they sent out a spring roll in place of it which on arrival was dried out and squashed like it had been stood on and the chips were full of oil. We were very disappointed and probably going to avoid unless the standard improves again.

This place used to be one of the best places in the area for fish and chips and other food, but sadly it seems to have massively deteriorated. Apart from the extremely slow delivery times, last night I had chicken and chips from here and woke up in the early hours feeling very ill and ended up being very sick throughout the night. A few months back the same thing happened to my husband after eating a battered sausage from there. We gave it another chance thinking we may just have been very unlucky, but clearly not! They obviously have very poor food hygeine standards. Oddly I looked through the official published list of food hygeine ratings and they weren't even on there. I am now going to contact Wealden Food Safety Team to see if they can investigate.

We have always thoroughly enjoyed our food from here, but today’s fish & chips was a huge disappointment. The chips were wet and oily and my rock was more batter than fish. However, the cod was good. Perhaps the wrong variety of potato used?

From such a warm welcome, to a lovely farewell that definitely makes sure you pay a visit the next time you wonder through. The food tastes amazing and is a great value for their worth. I would most highly recommend.

We got fed up with roast dinners etc. So we decided on fish and chips. Found Johns online saw they did a delivery service thought we would give them a try. So off to their website
And,ordered large cod, chicken chips,and a gerkin. I ordered for a 5pm delivery low and behold it was on my doorstep. Nice delivery driver very pleasant. Opened up and the heat was magic piping hot. The cod was well cooked and very tasty. The chicken,was,moist,and well cooked. Chips were delicious. For a ÂŁ2 delivery was well spent. Well done Johns my regards and thanks to all your staff it was a lovely meal and enjoyed every bit of it.

I cannot believe how rude the lady we just spoke to on the phone was. Absolutely appalling service, rude, condescending and downright petulant. She shouted at us. Whoever is working the Jubilee weekend should not be answering the phone. We are disgusted and have ordered from John's for years but we certainly won't be doing so again.

Tried to prebook only seven fish orders and indeed pay to collect same day, before our Christmas meeting. Answer NO. Such poor service and lack of customer satisfaction. How do you survive in today's competitive market place. Note our seven members will not again use your shop

We ordered fish and chips and I put the wrong address for the order ( was with friends and out of habit put my home address.) i phoned to find out what had happened to the order and I very quickly realised that the mistake was mine. Johns Fish Bar sent us a replacement order -,even though the fault was mine. The food was hot and really great. Thank you for really wonderful service and excellent Fish and Chips.

Went in for a takeaway tonight. We really enjoy the food from here. Excellent chunky chips and never disappointed with the fish. Great portion size and quick service. Will definitely go back.
