Basildon runs on chips. Somewhere between the Laindon vinegar and the Wickford salt, this town has quietly built a fryer-based economy, and we have thrown ourselves at the research with the dedication of people who will do anything for a free portion of scraps. Every place below is in the Basildon area (SS11 to SS16 plus Billericay), still open, and ranked the same way: highest Google rating first, ties broken by number of reviews, and anything with fewer than 50 reviews listed after the rest. No paid placements and no invented quotes, just the numbers. Bring a fork, an open mind and your own opinion on curry sauce.

That is the 12, and every one of them is doing the Lord's work with a fryer. Ratings and review counts are Google's and were correct when we checked; they move, so if your favourite is a whisker below the one above, give it the benefit of the doubt (and a bag of chips). Own one of these shops and want your details corrected? Use the contact page and we will sort it faster than you can say 'salt and vinegar'.
