Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The best in Falmouth

Sept 2020 • couples

We were searching all over for a fish and chip lunch as we're in the car we phone quite a few to check on the batter recipe due to a serious egg allergy and have to say we were very impressed by Old Hill handling of the matter. We arrived at chippy and have to say what a delightful set up the lady on the door running a fantastic ship shape operation around the covid setups The food is all cooked to order so be prepared for a little wait or you can phone your order ahead. The fish was amazing fresh and tasty the batter was just as it should crispy and light The chips were cooked to perfection and crispy edges and fluffy inner the mushy peas were also amazing. We did drive up to pendennis to eat them so I can give them the veiw but the meal certainly complimented it Would highly recommend speaking out the gem of a place and if Rick Stien ever reads this:this was where I said was 5 star well this is it👌👌👍

Great Fish and Chips

Oct 2023 • friends

One of the meals I look forward to when I visit friends in Falmouth is some good Fish and Chips and with this place we found the best. This is a takeaway only place but the ordering at the counter to the serving of your order is seamless and done by very nice people. If they have a lot of orders be prepared to wait! Also this is a very clean takeaway spot. The fish had a very light batter on it and was a large piece that was delicious. The basket came with a larger order of chips that weren’t greasy at all and were very tasty, couldn’t eat all of them. Wouldn’t hesitate to get takeaway from here and if your ever in Falmouth, UK stop in!

Absolutely excellent fish and chip shop, try them……

May 2024 • couples

Wow! Drove by Old Hill Fish and Chip shop in Falmouth this afternoon, never noticed it before, but thought - chips for tea, let’s try this place. So, this evening popped in and had large cod, large chips, and two portions of battered pineapple (4) - £16. Absolutely amazing, haven’t had fish and chips like that in years. Chips are chunky and crispy, cod was beautifully battered and succulent, the pineapple fritters were stunning (served them up with some warm golden syrup at home). Will DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK! Very friendly staff - oh, and the crispy batter bits (screes) are really good.

Wouldn't Go Out Of My Way Again

Nov 2020 • friends

Having tried our favourite local chippy 'Nemos in Penryn' reputedly the 'best in Cornwall' which had a queue of 20+ we diverted to 'Old Hill Chippy' to avoid the long queue & for a change and was surprised that we were the only customers at 'Old Hill' given the popularity of where we'd just come from. The ordering system and covid measures at 'Old Hill' are excellent and the premises appeared clean. The cod was skinless, very nicely cooked and of adequate medium size and better than the Harbour Lights for example, the portions of chips however were underwhelming, edible but insipid, mushy and unreasonably small in portion size. Sadly 'Old Hill Chippy' just isn't in Nemos league and whilst the fish is very good at both places and the price fairly average, Nemos serves up a 'proper' large sized quality portion of excellently cooked 'fish & chips' with a side for less than £8. This difference would put us off returning to 'Old Hill' unless we were hungry & literally passing by.

Yum!!

Sept 2024 • family

This place is truly underrated. Falmouth has plenty of fish & chip shops, but this one stands out as the best. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and you can really taste the difference in the quality, including the freshness of the oil. The only downside is their limited opening hours—they close at 7:30 PM, which feels a bit early. However, if you're after a top-notch portion of fish and chips, it's worth planning around their schedule.

Best sausage in batter in my life!

May 2023 • couples

Best sausage in batter ever!! Fancied chips for tea. Looked on trip advisor. Eventually found this place. Honestly the batter on the sausage was AMAZING SO THIN in crispy. EVERYTHING made fresh while you wait. Husband had large chips. ( not a large like we normally have at home in wales ) but nevertheless very tasty.

Best chips I had in Falmouth

May 2019 • family

After having previously been to a different extremely disappointing chip shop in Falmouth I decided I'd try here. After finally making it up the gargantuan hill I placed my rather large order which was fried only after I told them so it was about as fresh as could be. The portions are not massive but they're not small either. A large portion of chips is more than enough for one person but would only just feed two. The prices are pretty reasonable and if I lived here I'd not hesitate to call in here again.

My local chippy

Jun 2018 • family

I am very fussy when I comes to fish and chips, usually eat late on Friday and not managed to catch this open until now. (Closes at 7.30) I have tried a few different places since moving here in March, and this is very good. It has one terrible review which I recon is a bit suspect tbh. Very friendly very good value and all cooked nicely. Can’t really fault it to be fair. I will return.

A Visitor's Takeaway

Sept 2018 • couples

We are staying in self catering accommodation for a week, and decided that we wanted a simple evening meal. We found this place on the internet as it was the closest to our flat. The chippy is set in a housing estate and parking is limited on the roadside, but the welcome was very friendly from the staff. Had to wait only a few minutes to be served. Ordered cod and chips which was fantastic. Best that my wife has eaten. I had jumbo sausages - also first rate. Freshly cooked whilst I waited. Definitely worth the wait. And fantastic value.

How Fish & Chips Should Be

Jan 2017 • couples

We thoroughly enjoyed our fish and chips from here, drove to the Point and cracked open the flask of tea! We know how to roll.
