Been going to Smiths for years, by far the best fish and chip shop however the portions are getting smaller and smaller- my son bought chips today, it was not even a portion, I had to go out to buy some more. Smiths is also very expensive, coupled with the portion size, they rival down the road has much bigger portions, the fish is much bigger and also it’s slightly cheaper.
They really need to look at their portion sizes!

Lovely local place with Very fresh food. Tasty fish and chips. Nice staff members. I love that they have the cream soda drink it feels very retro. Also the fried snicker bar is yummy as well, especially as not many places do it.

Smith's had been in business for about ten years the first time I ate their fish and chips, and they were the best for miles around even then. I was pleased to see they're still there, especially as so much of the Epping I once knew is gone, and am delighted to say the food is just as good as ever.

Peggotys was closed on Sunday so tried out Smith's.
First point to note, cash only. Staff are friendly and our order was freshly cooked. Told it would be ready in 10 minutes and at 12 we were back at the car.
The chips are Peggotys are far superior. Just miles ahead. A much bigger portion, cooked better and wheat free (for anyone with allergies or are coeliacs).
The fish was cooked well and I may prefer the batter to Peggotys but it is a close call. It is very thin and crisp (almost a crust) whilst Peggotys was also crisp but thicker... Basically you pays your money you makes your choice.
In an ideal world, I would order fish from Smith's (thinner batter) and chips from Peggotys (wheat free and better overall). However, either are good choices.

Best cod and chips in the area in my humble opinion. Everything cooked well and the fish is fresh and succulent. It's a positive delight for the taste buds and reasonably priced too.

Fish n chips here taste like the oil is not regularly changed, flake didn't taste fresh and the batter is below average. Only tried this place out due to a job on close by, I wouldn't really drag the family out to eat here, not worth the time and effort.

Bog standard. I don't know why I keep going to run-of-the-millpond fish and chip shops like this. It's not that Epping Fish & Chips is bad; it's just supremely average. This place serves what Australians ate in the 1950s. Beer-batter flake filet, potato cake, one of those dimmys that looks like a butt plug, adequate pile of "cheap as" chips. Typical packing paper wrapping, standard level of greasy soak-through, chicken salt. At least it only cost $9.50. I should have ingested my calories at someplace more memorable.
