About Bovey Fish Bar
On Fore St in Newton Abbot, Bovey Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway serving a menu of 36 items, from the 1/4lb Burger to a Chicken Burger and Spring Roll. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, with payment by cash only. Fish and chips comes with a slice of lemon and homemade tartare sauce, and the counter staff ask how the order should be wrapped and how much salt and vinegar to add.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips cooked fresh to order is what reviewers return to, with crisp batter singled out repeatedly and one diner praising perfectly cooked, succulent haddock. The chips come close behind, described as lovely and fresh, with a mix of chunky ones and a few crispy bits. Several mention the homemade tartare sauce and a slice of lemon coming with the meal, and one adds chicken balls and the meal deals. One reviewer found the fish on the smaller side but packed with flavour. Staff are called friendly and quick, and two groups who ordered for seven people on holiday were pleased with the food and service. Another reviewer noted good teamwork on a very busy evening. The one caveat comes from a first-time visitor who found no real street parking, with several cars sitting on the double yellow lines outside and a pay area a few hundred yards away. One diner closes on a small touch: being asked how they wanted their order wrapped and how much salt and vinegar.

- Maggie Huntingford
“We went with an order for 7 people on Sunday evening. Both fish and chips were freshly cooked and were an excellent quality with crisp batter and well cooked chips. Service was quick and friendly. We are regular New Year holiday makers so will definitely be going again, sadly not for a couple of years. But we definitely recommend this chippie. A word of warning…they only take cash.”
