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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went to North Tawton Branch, I was very disappointed, The chips were not fully cooked, and in a small tray, the fish was very small it had been cut and was in length no longer than the small tray, the batter wasn't cooked through &...was soggy. Paying over £10 for a child's size meal is a disgrace. Won't be coming back !!!More

Waited 10 minutes for a LARGE portion of chips! Even though shop was empty. Paid £4.60. Was barely enough chips for a regular portion .Normally get from The Pelican and large portion is enough for me and my partner. Never going back.

Best fish and chips here. Freshly cooked tasty and large portions. Been so many times. Wish there was a dining area to sit lots of people.

Award winning? Really? I paid nearly £7 for under cooked tiny portion of chips, after I paid for a large portion And i got an over battered and cold pea fritter that wasn't fit for eating! Won't waste my time or money going there again!

Nice fish and chips, but £16.50 for a large (fairly standard portion!) Fish chips and peas certainly stings a bit. Since when did a quick chippy tea turn into a £40 meal for 2 adults and a kids meal...

The food was lovely and not greasy at all. However, they missed a portion of chips that we had paid for. Tried calling them but no answer. Definitely check your order when you collect it.
