Having read some of the negative reviews I was somewhat cautious. I had absolutely no need to be! My wife and I fancied fish and chips to take home for supper and opted for local haddock. We were able to select the individual pieces of...fish we wanted before they were cooked fresh to order. The quality of both the cooked fish and the chips was excellent, it was obvious that the Budleigh Fish and Chip shop uses good quality oil and the fryer knows what they are doing. To put this in perspective, our home town has two fish and chip shops and both of them have recently received prestigious awards from the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFF). Although we don’t eat fish and chips often we do know what “good” tastes like, and Budleigh was good. Very good!
Turning to price and contrasting the comments that have been made on this topic. I am not in the food/drink/hospitality trade but I dread to think what is going on with their costs and profit margins during these challenging times. Switching the lights on, heating the premises, paying staff and local taxes then buying raw ingredients must be tough enough without the prospect of getting several litres of cooking oil up to temperature.
Sometimes reality comes at a price and for those of us who fancy good fish and chips which Budleigh clearly serves, it is definitely a price worth paying!!!More
