About Highlanes Fish & Chips
On Humphry Davy Ln in Hayle, Highlanes Fish & Chips serves cod alongside battered sausages and a battered burger, with chips available in small, standard and large portions. Chips come wrapped in paper, chip shop curry sauce is offered on the side, and orders are taken and served at a counter staffed by several people. There is no seating, and the shop operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. Friday evenings tend to bring a short wait, and parking near the shop can be tight during busy spells, though space is usually found a little further down the road.

Customer Review Summary
The cod draws the most consistent praise, described repeatedly as fresh, flaky, and moist with a perfect crispy batter. Close behind, the chips get singled out for being golden and crunchy outside, soft inside, and the battered burger and chip shop curry sauce also earn mentions from those who tried them. Portion sizes come up often as generous and good value, and several diners describe the staff as friendly, chatty, and quick even when handling phone orders. A short wait and limited parking are noted during busier times, particularly Friday evenings, though reviewers frame this as simply part of a popular shop rather than a real complaint. Several travelers mention driving in from St Ives or further afield specifically for the fish and chips here, with more than one saying they now skip other local chip shops, including one at a holiday park, in favor of this one.

“Probably the best fish and chips in Cornwall (or even beyond). This small piece of heaven is tucked away between the local youth centre and a small housing estate so you might miss it so keep your eyes peeled. Lovely staff that will do anything to help but, please expect a short wait during busier times as it’s a very popular shop. Parking can be an issue during the busier times but you can usually find space just down the road and wonder up there.”

“First time in Cornwall today, needed something quick for dinner as I've been driving all day. Thought we'd check this place out as the reviews were good, well, I'm so glad we did. The cod was sooooo good! The chips were gorgeous! everything super fresh. The service was friendly and quick! We would be here every week if we were local! Could you please send some tips to the Norfolk chippies ;-)”
