Just spent 3 days fishing on the middle{members only ) lake, Had 6 carp, 5 of which were over 20lb the biggest being 26lb 4. The lake is very well kept and the staff very help full and polite, there is an onsite tackle shop carrying a variety of bait and end tackle as well as some bigger items, There is a cafe which serves a very good breakfast and I believe they will deliver to your swim. The other 2 lakes are kept just as well and hold some very good fish, I highly recommend this place
Recommended by friends to come here. Hardly been fishing in the last 25 years, grabbed the old gear out of the shed and me and my son headed here. Would have been happy with just a few fish....WOW what a day, we loved it, kept busy all afternoon and landed some great carp and bream.
Came back a couple of days later for another afternoon session and landed another load including 20lb carp on floating crust!! Roll on Saturday morning and glorious sunshine... Can't recommend this place enough - very welcoming and helpful, very well presented fishery with good facilities.
Quickly gone from a lake I’ve read about to my absolute favourite lake to actually fish. What a place
Done a day at churchgate middle lake and managed to nick 3 .bailiff daves a good guy and shop stocks all the essentials
First time at churchgate an smashed my pb an with the fish still on the off the other rod goes again better then my pb.well happy
Came to Churchgate about 2 months ago, as I'd heard good things.... and not kidding you! No one lied....
The guys here are so helpful and are willing to give support whenever they can, one thing other lakes don't care about, they just want your money.
Churchgate can be challenging some days but there isn't a session I go to and don't learn something from other anglers about the lakes.
Can't wait to join this years members list!
100% recommend this lake over any other, on site cafe and tackle shop!!! What more do you need!!!
Just returned from Churchgate Lakes,today, fished the top lake, had a fantastic day hit my PB 17 pound five oz after just half an hour after some coaching from a real gentleman who goes by the name Mr Ian Gemson what a fellow, could not have been more helpful if I had paid him, the lake, and staff were fantastic a great set up, first class venue and above all its all about the fish they always come first. Thanks to Tony and his staff for a truly memorable day. PS. I broke my PB again in the afternoon with a twenty pound seven oz mirror..........I'll be back. Steve W.
One of the best venues I have been to staff very friendly and helpful
Fantastic complex , Great Lakes and fish are in superior condition!! Team are helpful with everything and the Banter is just too funny � look forward to having some lumps out the members lake after this cold spell .
Best night session I've had in a long time
27lb 15oz common and a 25lb 6oz mirror to follow on duster baits on top lake
Many thanks to Dave from churchgate and Ben and Mitch from duster
1st time fishing churchgate and a first for using duster
Happy days
Does anyone know when the website will be back up and running its been down for some time? Cheers
I'm not a fisherman but some poor planning on my part left me with my dog a bit too hot and a half hour walk ahead. They kindly gave him some water and pointed me in the right direction.
Chaps in the really well presented store couldn't have been more accomodating and their kindness to a random stranger shows that this is certainly a business worth supporting.
Churchgate has transformed over the last year from a tired, drab fishery to a clean, tidy, modern, Mud Free and luxury venue with great access, more car parking and brand new custom built swims.
All the lakes have been cleared of silver fish and any deformed or damaged fish have been retired to the house pond. Jodi has invested heavily in new big fish and making this an excellent establishment with great members.
I am very proud of being a member here and with Electric and WiFi available it makes fishing an absolute luxury. Thank you Churchgate!
Amazing fishing lakes in Battlesbridge , Essex.
I become a member last year and am impressed by the fishing and the amount of work done on the grounds by Jodi and his team. First class!
Absolutely luxury fishing. Immaculate swims. Very friendly staff.
This place looks amazing. Shame It's not a day ticket lake now
Looks like there are some great fish here
Had our first 36 hrs on the bottom lake. AJ helped us get our gear to the swim and checked our rods were set up correctly. The lake and swim were amazing we had so much room to spread out. The place is kept so clean and tidy and the fish were hard fighters. Although you do pay a premium here it is worth it. This must be the best place ive ever fished, not to worry about getting gear to the swim, shop has everything you need and on site food, what more can you ask for. Amazing place well done gents cant wait for my next fishing venture there.
friendly staff, nice tackle shop on site and food available
Great place, alot of work being done! Would recommend.
What can I say about Churchgate lake it’s more a 5 star fishery ,if I could give it 6 stars I would ,it’s for all the family to enjoy and a lovely place for the next generation to come and fish with dad and grandads ,some of the best looking fish I have seen.
The high standards of fish care is above and beyond ,Jodi the fishery owner could not be more of a gentleman and top bloke in the way he runs the lakes very helpful and knows what it’s all about and keeps on top of things that is a sign of good management and the welfare of his fish and members.
The team working at the lakes AJ , Jake and Bill are all top anglers very much on the ball and very helpful they put them self out to help all the members every day top blokes I can’t speak more highly of them.
The lakes are a lovely peaceful place to fish at ,have a walk around and have a coffee it’s all about more than fishing at Churchgate lakes,come and have a look at the fully stocked tackle shop which is open to non members not just members.
The food at the lakes is fantastic worth every penny cooked to perfection by Gemma and always delivered to your swim with a smile,what more could you ask for great fishing lovely food brilliant staff what a team.
Top place ,top blokes best place I have fished in my 52 years of angling
Absolutely beautiful, with all the new swims, roadways it's mud free from start to finish, the fish are pristine, staff are polite & will help out were you need it & give you expert advice. Not forgetting a well stocked shop for all your fishing needs.Well done to Jodi & his team for a truly beautiful fishing complex 100%
