One reviewer said it was ‘by far’ the best fish and chips they’d ever tried
One of the best comfort meals has to be a classic takeaway fish and chips. There’s nothing quite like a trip to the chippy – and we have some brilliant ones around.
One chip shop just a short drive away from Cambridgeshire recently caught the eye of a TikTokker who said the food left him “flabbergasted”. Situated just outside Cambridgeshire is Bury St Edmunds, and here you can explore some utterly good finds for food spots, shops and things to do.
Alex Green, a food influencer with more than 920,000 followers on TikTok, recently visited the popular Hendo’s Fish and Chips which serves sustainable seafood and triple cooked chips along with lots of other choices.
The Hendo’s website boasts top quality ingredients, superior service and fantastically fresh fish. From the classic cod and chips, to battered halloumi, or plaice, this eatery truly offers a traditional menu.
In the caption of his video, Alex wrote: “Is this the best fish and chips shop in Bury St Edmund’s… Google definitely thinks so.” In the beginning of the video he said: “Are they incredible or are they forgettable?”
The review began by highlighting the cleanliness of the premises, the kindness of the staff, and the prime location situated next to the Abbey Gardens. Alex ordered a large cod and chips with a pot of curry sauce on the side that totalled up to a whooping £17. But did it live up to the hype?
After showing the viewers the crunch of the chips, and displaying the golden colour, he delves into it and here’s what Alex said: “These are lovely, crisp, firm, have a lovely crunch and a great taste.”
After testing out the chips with the curry sauce dip test, he continued: “I can’t even get my words out, that’s how flabbergasted I am right now.” Moving on to the cod, he praised the crunchy batter and the “succulent and juicy” inside making for a “phenomenal spot” altogether.
Alex ends the video by saying that he didn’t expect it to be this good. TikTok users were quick to respond in the comments section. With one user saying “That curry sauce is amazing.”
The chip shop has also received plenty of glowing reviews elsewhere, and one said “These folks truly know what great food should taste and look like! Honestly, this is by far the best fish and chips that I’ve ever tried.”
One more Google reviewer wrote: “I had the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted! The batter was perfectly crispy, the fish was fresh and flaky, and the chips were cooked just right. The staff were absolutely lovely too. A fantastic experience all around.”
