  “So initially the price does seem steep and not too competitive, however, these are some of the best fish and chips in the area. The fish is fresh with delicious light and crispy batter, and the chips are fantastic. Nothing feels too greasy. The fish was boxed separately to the chips so the batter didn't get soggy. It was also piping hot. Salt and vinegar is in sachets. Not everyone's preference, however, you can take as many as you need. A nice big lemon wedge was in the box with the fish too. Excellent food. The service - it wasn't bad, it just wasn't welcoming. I would expect to at least get a "hello" or "what can I get for you", but I barely got a grunt. I think this needs some improvement. Apart from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway and didn't mind paying a premium price for such good quality food.”

  “I was quite disappointed with the food. There was a lot of advertising and promotion, so I expected much better quality. Unfortunately, the food was below my expectations and didn’t taste as good as I had hoped. I’ve eaten the same type of food at another place, and the quality there was much better. Hopefully, they can improve the quality of their food in the future. Mike's fish and chips Southampton Fourmarks fish and chips”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great family platter and much better value than we remembered This was our third visit to Stein's Fish & Chips in Padstow. On previous visits we'd always come away thinking it was quite expensive for fish and chips, but this time, having compared the prices with some of the pubs and restaurants we'd eaten at locally, it actually felt much more comparable. While queuing we spotted the family platter for four and decided to give it a try. For two adults and two children it was absolutely perfect. The platter came loaded with fish, scampi, halloumi, chips, onion rings and salad, along with dips and sauces. There was a really good mixture for everyone to pick at and it was just about the right amount to fill all four of us without ordering loads of separate meals. Including our drinks, the total bill came to around £65 for the four of us, which we thought was pretty reasonable considering where we were and what we had. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, with nice décor and a good atmosphere, and the staff were friendly throughout. There's a wide choice of fish and seafood as well as soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. One other thing worth knowing if you're particularly hungry is that when eating in you can get unlimited chips for £4, which could be excellent value! After three visits, this was probably the one where we felt we'd found the best way of eating here as a family. The sharing platter worked brilliantly for us and we'd happily have it again. Thoroughly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “Food came quick and tasted pretty good, albeit small fish and not the best value for £20 (with chips included). Service was great. They had one accessible toilet and there was a queue to use it sometimes. Overall nice but if you're expecting anything more than your local chippy then you may feel a little disappointed.”

  “We had been here once before in 2016, and remembered having to queue outside for ages before getting a seat. No such issue this time, we walked in and were seated immediately. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and helpful with the few questions we had around the menu. My daughter and I ordered Fish & Chips. I opted for the Cod, she picked the Forgotten Fish option. Despite hers being the cheapest item, I was envious because her portion was huge and it tasted better than mine. The fish they were using for it that day was Ling. Our Chips were cooked in Beef Dripping and were delicious. I fancied a Beer too, so I enjoyed a Pint of Korev Lager. My wife and other daughter both required vegetarian meals. My wife went for the Halloumi Burger, my Daughter had the Halloumi Saganaki and requested Vegetarian Chips. Everyone was well catered for and we all enjoyed our meals.”

  “Best fish and chips I’ve had so far. The food was fresh and very tasty. The lemonade I had was also good. The prawn starter was lovey and fresh. Can’t fault the food.”

  “The hype didn't match the establishment, food was nice, not amazing. I had Haddock it was a good size, the batter was acceptable not the quality and crunch i though it would be. Chips nice but not great. The wife had scampi, Another acceptable dish, other establishments include peas or a salad garnish. Price does not include chips. They are an additional £4. The toilet was manky, as were the tiles where we were sitting by the front window.”

  “Absolutely lovely and amazing food, the only reason for a 4* overall and 3* on the service was to even things out. On the Wednesday we arrived and was told they couldn't work as their was electrical issues effecting the whole of Padstow, however my partner and I walked up into the Town and the Rick Steins seafood resturant and all the other shops in the town were working fine, so I fail to see how it was effecting the whole area. That said, we returned on the next day and the service was faultless, and the food was as good as I could remember when I visited not long after the take away had opened. As mentioned the food was 5* and the service was aswell, however, the previous day did taint the feeling a little, we travelled from over an hour away, and to be told the electrical issue is effecting the whole of Padstow, yet the toilets next door to the takeaway resturant and school and the town itself was seemingly unaffected.”

  “The food was ok, not the best. The mushy peas were a little lacking in flavour. The staff seemed a little slow and confused. I loved that you could get a glass of champagne with the chippy lunch though, it was a nice touch. I don't think I would recommend for flavour and food. The local corner chippies are more robust on this front.”

  “Read some negative reviews while sitting inside, but our experience was actually good. The cod was tasty and well cooked, though the portion was quite small for £22, which others have also mentioned. Worth trying if you’re nearby, but for cheaper prices and bigger portions, Chip Ahoy might be a better option.”
