Quick info
About Kings Fry
Kings Fry is a fish and chips takeaway on Ley Ln in Newton Abbot, open only Thursday to Saturday and closed the other four days of the week. The menu runs to 39 dishes, with cod and haddock as the core fried options alongside a mega burger with extras, cod's roe with chips, and a pea fritter finished with curry sauce. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservations. Large orders can take longer to come together, so the wait varies with what is being prepared. Free parking sits right outside the shop, with space for two cars, making a quick stop straightforward on the days it is open.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the fish and chips, with the fish described as tasty under a crisp batter and the chips as cooked perfectly and not oily. Close behind are the curry sauce and pea fritter, both praised as great tasting, while others mention half chickens, cod's roe and a mega burger with a huge pile of extras. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and lovely, prices are called reasonable, and one reviewer notes it can be a bit slow when large orders come in. The negatives are pointed. One reviewer found haddock from the display dry, hard and oily, as if it had sat there all day, another said the fish tasted gone off and the portions were small for the price, and a third felt the cook was rude when asked for food cooked fresh. Several reviewers say they are returning, and one reviewer says the order was well worth the wait.

“Just popped in hete for 1st time as its on route from dropping wife off for night shift. Chips were ok but i spied a bit of haddock in the display and had thst for convenience. Disgusting fish that seemed it had been there all day....dry, hard, and oily. If its been on there for a ling time they should chuck it rather than sell it to unsuspecting customers....really disgusting!”

“Lovely food. Friendly staff to have a chat with. Can be abit slow at times when large orders come in but pretty standard for fast food but worth the wait!”

“First time using the Kings Fry - the fish was really tasty with a beautifully crisp batter. Chips were also cooked perfectly, not at all greasy. Staff were friendly and we believe we have found the best quality chippy in Newton Abbot”
