Best KPortal Reviews
Seafood was really nice, comfortable seating but just note that it is more a cafe than a restaurant. Quite a lot of new staff, it seemed, so some points were confused (we were charged for 2 desserts when really the first one was ordered then the waitress came back to say it was out but had forgotten to take it off our tab). The double charge was sorted but I had to point it out.
Absolutely smashing place ????
It is extremely busy but it has a fast turn over.
Staff are quick, helpful, friendly and often seen wizzing around.
We had a Amazing waitress seat us who was working extremely hard with a broken arm.
She was a trooper.
We popped in easter Friday for dinner.
I am GF due to allergies but this is only the 2nd Fish and chip restaurant I've found that offers GF batter and a larger GFmenu.
Due to how busy it is , it doesn't have a calm atmosphere but it's nice.
I had GF haddock, chips, mushy peas, and a GF curry sauce.
GF Haddock was extremely tasty!
The curry sauce was powdery , not mixed well, but had a nice taste.
Chips were gorgeous.
We visited in October after a day out to Ilfracombe and we really fancied fish and chips! The Dolphin didn’t disappoint! The food was fresh and tasty, the team were friendly and the kids menu offering is fantastic too.
A special mention to the lovely lady (whose name I have forgotten, I’m so sorry!) who was fantastic with my 2yo & 4m old, especially a huge thank you for offering to keep my food warm while I fed the baby. This is the first time EVER while I’ve fed either of my kiddos in public someone has offered to keep my food warm and it was amazing to be asked, thank you ❤️
Thank you so much, we’ll definitely visit again!
Great food friendly staff lovely place every time me and my girlfriend foods always hot and fresh could not get better ????????????????
Thoroughly enjoyed their special, seafood chowder with crispy bread.
Staff were attentive and the place was very clean.
Food is expensive but it is very fresh so took the sting. Unfortunately, they forgot half my meal and completely forgot my partners meal until we mentioned it. The kids meals were very good and their milkshake was very nice. Waitresses was very helpful, just unfortunate we had to chase after our food. Kitchen accepted responsibility for the mistake. It's not the warmest fish and chip restaurant I've been to, with many people choosing to wear their coats while eating. Time of year doesn't exactly help in this respect.
The food is excellent. They also are good with allergies they have gluten free options too. The girl with red hair ( kat )was a great waitress if you come here have her as your waitress.
Absolutely perfect battered cod and chips, honestly really tasty. Saveloy was on point and the curry sauce was incredible. Restaurant is clean and tidy and situated right next to the harbour.
If down in Ilfracombe come and try this, you won't be disappointed, staff were also very friendly.
