Stopped in here today just to get a small portion of chips to eat, whilst walking to Readymoney Cove. Ordered a small portion, costing £2.70. Was told there would be a 6 minute wait, as they are cooked fresh to order. Being from Cornwall, I have eaten from many different fish & chip shops, and I can honestly say these were the best chips I have ever eaten. Cooked to perfection, and fantastic portion size, I've had smaller large portions before. Can't wait to have them again.
Best chips I've had in ages, so much so that we went back to comment. We had just popped in as we were passing so hadn't looked at any reviews (luckily, as it may have meant I missed a good thing). We only had the chips so can't comment on anything else but what we saw looked good and was well priced.
This is an excellent fish and chip shop. Would highly recommend and would even say go out of your way because it’s worth it. Excellent fish, the batter was crunchy and so lovely. Beautifully cooked fish and the chips were great too. Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long while. Very friendly new owner who is trying to turn this business around. Ignore previously bad reviews as this doesn’t relate to the new owner.
Worst fish and chips we’ve ever had. The battered fish was over cooked and the portions were small. The wait time was over 30 mins but we were warned by a sign. Would not recommend. The staff also got a few other peoples orders wrong in front of me. Hygiene of the back kitchen was suspect.
EDIT - thank you for replying but no it’s not that the fish and chips weren’t like my local. I have had dozens of fish and chips over the years in London, Newquay, Swanage even Derby. Yours were by far the worse. The fish batter was very hard and over cooked. The fish was hard and chewy. The chips are okay at best. Everything was cooked from frozen so not fresh.
The chips seemed to think they were still in the field, undercooked and bewildered in the bag. The chicken burger was a masterclass in aridity, crying out for a splash of sauce. The fish was passable, but its batter wore a coat of grease like it was going out of style. A friendly suggestion: less time spent jousting with online reviews, more time perfecting the fryer's art. If there were any other options in the village, that's where we'd be.
Good Friday 2024 - you would hope the local chip shop would be prepared! The most awful service I have ever experienced in a takeaway! The man in charge was clearly stressed and very rude to every customer! Had there been an alternative I would have told him to shove his fish and chips up his a*se! The poor assistant was thoroughly embarrassed and tried to make up for his colleagues awful behaviour! If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! To top things off the food was awful… completely overcooked! The chicken burger had no salad or mayo…just a plain bun with a costco chicken burger in!
Never again! What a shame this is the only chip shop in Fowey!
I'm always reluctant to leave negative reviews as I know the challenges that come with running a business.
However we had such a poor experience I wanted to share with others and hopefully the owners will start to take notice of all the negative feedback.
Everything was terrible and I wish I'd read the reviews before we ordered.
There's a sign on the door that warns of wait times of 30-40 minutes during busy periods. It wasn't that busy (see photo) and we waited longer than this.
They missed a tub of gravy from our order and we had to wait a further ten minutes for it. They boiled a kettle and made the thinnest gravy you could imagine. It was more like a cup of OXO.
None of the lids were put on our curry sauce and mushy peas pots properly so they leaked in the bag.
The fish batter was awful. So dark and spongy and the chips were overcooked.
We go to Cornwall every year and always have fish and chips sitting by a harbour and we have some amazing memories. Now we have a terrible one.
I wish I'd read the reviews and got us all a pasty instead.
We was genuinely shocked when we unwrapped our fish and chips to find that the fish was swimming in oil, so much so that it had gone through the wrapping paper. The fish was warm (and should have been hot as we were staying just up the road from the fish and chip shop). The chips were soft as if they had just been warmed up. I am writing this review as I am concerned someone will become ill with the standard of food that is being served. I now regret not reading the reviews first before going to the fish and chip shop.
