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
Fish and chips is the clear draw, with several reviewers praising crisp batter and chips that come out perfectly cooked and not greasy, alongside a well-liked curry sauce and pea fritter. Others single out the cod's roe and half chicken, and one mentions a mega burger loaded with extras. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, though experiences vary sharply on the fish itself: one reviewer found haddock from the display dry, hard, and oily, and another separately described fish that "tasted gone off" with a portion size they felt was too small for the price. A different visitor reports rude treatment from a cook when asking for food to be made fresh for a takeaway trip. Service can slow down when large orders come in, though one reviewer called this standard for fast food. Several say they'll return, with one declaring it the best chippy in Newton Abbot.

“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”
