Most Disliked
The cash-only payment policy catches some diners off guard, which can be inconvenient for those unprepared with cash. This might limit some customers who prefer card transactions. Additionally, while there are seating options, space can be limited, leading to a busy atmosphere during peak hours.
Some visitors expect an extensive dine-in experience, but the focus at Jackos remains on takeaway service, which may disappoint those looking for a more traditional restaurant vibe. If you arrive during a busy time, be prepared to wait, but know the quality is worth it.

Best fish and chip shop around. In the same league, if not better, as They Who Shall Not Be Named in Rayleigh high street.

Had another bangin' take away from Jacko's last night! As usual, everything was perfect! Chips piping hot, Chicken too good to be true, the Mrs loved her Cod, and the guys are always a pleasure to do business with. Prices are the best for miles around too! Love Jacko's food so much!

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
