Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the fried hake and the cod, with the fish itself described as fresh, flaky and well cooked under a light, well seasoned batter. Close behind are the chips, called crispy outside and fluffy inside, and the fresh, creamy tartare sauce. Others single out the monkfish, the fish burger with its fresh salad, and a sausage and batter with chips. One reviewer values the crunchy gluten free batter, and another liked the mushy peas made from actual peas. Service draws repeated warm mentions, including a staff member who knew the food well and a solo birthday diner who was wished well. The main complaint is value and grease: portions are generous but the price is described as high, and one takeaway cod and chips left soggy batter and greasy cardboard boxes that fell apart. One diner found the seafood bowl out of stock. Several describe the sit-in section at the back, and one reviewer was served a pot of West Country tea with an extra pot of boiled water.

“My friend and I were visiting Glastonbury and we visited Knights, we were both happy with our fish n chips. Charlotte Knight served us, she was all smiles. It was lovely to experience such a long running family business.”

“Faultless. The fish batter was light and well seasoned, the fish was flakey and well cooked (we had the Hake) - the sprinkling of dried oregano on the top was a nice touch). The chips didn’t look like thick classic chip shop chips but they sure tasted like them. Crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside, what more could you ask for. The tartare sauce was fresh, creamy and well seasoned. The mushy peas were actual peas with a nice little tang, not some soupy mess. Would definitely recommend.”
