Light batter and succulent fish

Always a delight to order my cod and chips and mushy peas. Have never been disappointed in over eight years. I try to savour this treat at least once a month.

To die for fish cake

Really tasty options, I really appreciate vegetarian options too as I'm pescitarian myself. The only thing that I did noticed is that they microwave the fish, if you choose to have it unbattered. Overall, it is our fav fish and chip shop:)

Heaven

The original team is back and boy you can taste the difference. Fish and chips can’t be that difficult to cook but consistency is paramount. Well done guys and great to see queues back when you open.

Thank you for your kind words and for noticing the positive changes. We hope to see you more often again in our takeaway queue !

We love the mild Chinese curry sauce as well - not bits in! The boxes help us with portion sizes and therefore with keeping our prices lower than other shops in the area. We find the food stays fresher and doesn't go soggy or get...More

Thank you for your great comments about our chips and cod. We do indeed use local potatoes, at the moment we buy Agria potatoes from a farm outside Totnes. Our gherkins come from Holland, but they are huge and great value for money. Vegetarian options...More
