Jackos Of Rochford

I have known Jackos for many years from back when I was attending The King Edmund school as a child. My grandparents also used to get from here for many years every Friday. After emigrating from the UK I recently came back to visit last month to catch up with the family. I have no idea over the years if it has changed hands or ownership or not. The one thing I do know is the standards have definitely not dropped there. While staying in Rochford I tried the skate and chips as pictured below with mushy peas and gherkin. Was very comforting to get a real taste of quality fish and chips cooked exceptionally well. I went back the second week just before I left as I wanted to taste what I had again before my long trip home. I was not disappointed again. Everything was cooked perfectly. Giant piece of skate, generous portion of chips and great mushy peas. This has been the best 2 portions of fried skate I have eaten in the last 10 years. I hope they keep it up and I look forward to returning sometime in the next year or so for some of the same nostalgia. Excellent food
