I love this chip shop. I've been coming here for the last 10 years or so and... it's the best fish & chips I've ever had! The service is always impeccable and the food never disappoints. The only recent negative reviews that I can see are from people who clearly don't know what they're talking about!read more

I can't believe some of the recent reviews for this chip shop. I’m a long time... customer and their food is always perfect. They're a family-owned business that has never failed me with their fish and chips. I'll admit that it doesn't exactly have the best atmosphere, it is a takeaway after all! But they're always friendly, happy to see us and quick service.read more

I have been here 3 times during our holiday in Woolacombe and the food was... always very good. The service is quick, with a lot of choice on the menu. The only thing is I wish they had some healthier options like salads, but other than that it's great.read more

I don't know what some of these recent reviews are on about, this chip shop... offers quick service. The staff are really efficient and the food tastes great. When I first stepped in, I was expecting a typical 15min wait for my food...but that's not how it works here. They are short staffed an doing their best. Good work guys, don’t let the bad reviews get you down.. your food is great and the service too.read more

Large order served up VERY quickly. We placed an order for 40 small cod and... chips with 20 pots of curry sauce and 10 peas. Really amazed at how quickly and efficiently they sorted our order. Food was piping hot and probably some of the best takeaway fish and chips I’ve ever tried. Perhaps it something about eating fish and chips by the sea that makes them taste so good here. Very happy with our food. Thanksread more

I'm genuinely shocked at some recent reviews of this chip shop. We always go... there when we are in Woolacombe and they have never let us down. The chips are always crispy and the fish is always fresh, whether it's the cod or haddock. I highly recommend you stop by and try then out!read more

I love this place. The owners are so friendly and the food is always fresh. I'm... not sure how they keep up with the demand! I always get a good size portion of cod and it's never greasy or too salty. The chips are also delicious. Definitely worth trying here for fish and chips.read more

Just come back from our family holiday in Woolacombe and this chip shop was... always popular with everyone. Tried pretty much everything they had on offer during the two weeks we stayed in Woolacombe. The burgers were bang on! Cod really flaky and batter not greasy at all. Kids loved the chicken nuggets and the coddies. Recommended.read more

The Apple Shop of chippies. You will need to camp out the night before to avoid... the queues.It's hardly surprising as listening to the accents of those waiting, people from all over the UK decide to eat here! Unlike our local chippy that seems to serve the local towns population in just minutes.Come early, we've been in line for over an hour and they are starting to run out of fish!read more

Fantastic chips!! Best we've had in a long while. Crispy, but fluffy white on... the inside, and not greasy. Decent sized portion for £3.50. And we loved the full-sized wooden forks. The young chap who served us our chips was really friendly and chatty. Definitely recommending this place. It's a shame we're not local as we'd be regulars!read more

I can't believe some recent reviews...I was here the week before Easter and I... appreciate the young staff doing a great job in difficult circumstances. With Covid still lurking and a shortage of staff I thought they did a great job. I had quite a few takeaways in my week and they were all piping hot and beautiful. Coming from France I really do appreciate good old fish and chips. Cheers.read more

For a first timer to Woolacombe Fryer I thought the staff did great given the... circumstances and the virus situation in the region. Whilst there was a long queue to begin with that was partly down to other places not being open or being short staffed. Food was lovely and decently cooked. Mum and I enjoyed our supper overlooking the town and beach from a good vantage car park with the sun going down...lush.read more

Nice fish but the chips had been refried and you couldn’t taste any potato due... to them being full of grease. We might have made a mistake going at opening time rather than a little later when they’d have to be cooking fresh. Friendly service.read more

The fish and chips are very nice, crispy and cooked well not soggy and pale... chips.There is often a lengthy queue, but I guess that’s just part of it and it didn’t take too long.I don’t know if it’s a northern thing for me to expect but they don’t have bread rolls on the menu for a chip butty. They did provide them on request but it was not buttered bread so a bit dry.I find it quite crazy people complaining about portions particularly of chips. My partner and I shared a large fish and chips and were well stuffed.read more

Loved it every single time we’ve been here. Been coming to woolacombe for 15... years and this chip shop always makes it 10x better to sit on the balcony and chill, perfect sizes, completely reasonable price 10/10 probably better than the chip shop at home 😳Edit- only downside is the queue, but it’s the same everywhere in Woolacombe (2 hours waiting for nearby pizza, compared to maybe 20 minutes?) and we’ll worth itread more

Collected small cod at 17:05 on 9 Oct when I got home I found plenty of batter... and hardly any fish.I guess the answer is don’t get fish at 5 o clock when they open as it’s likely your fish will be left over from lunchtime and re heatedread more
