  “I want to clarify that this chippy is my regular. The food is good and the staff are generally pleasant. I've never left a review before because I'm not picky and am generally pretty chill. That being said, I had a horrible experience recently that left a sour taste in my mouth. So after a very long day, I needed some quick food purely out of convenience. I'm a very reasonable person, so understood that the venue was busy so there could be a substantial wait. For that reason, I just ordered chips thinking that of course there would always be chips prepared to be served. It was an easy win to get in and out quickly. What a mistake that was. I was flabbergasted that the staff methodically worked through every order in number sequence regardless of what was ordered. I waited over half an hour for food that was ready when I walked in because I had to wait for massive complex orders to be cooked and served first. Why wouldn't you use your initiative and smash out the quick orders while the fish etc was cooking? The chips were literally ready and the staff just stood there waiting for the next ticket in line to go. I'm annoyed because I'll now think twice before going here and will probably walk away if there's more than a couple of people waiting. I'm not sure if staff are specifically instructed to resolved orders this way but it was ridiculous. Again, I've never had an issue with the food.”

  “We used to use this chip shop all the time through just eat but the couple of orders we had made us both ill with so much grease unfortunately, not sure if it was a few issues at the time but not nice fish at all and we used to love the family boxes but we now use another in Brixham.”

  “I asked for large cod with a sliver of batter. What i got was chunks of overcooked batter & the fish barely filled a teaspoon ! The chips were no better as too greasy. This used to be the best chip shop for quality of food but it must be new ownership. I feel scammed ! I do not anticipate this new owner lasting too long & nor should it.”

  “Main aim was the London Fryer however having seen the queue I decided to try the Chippy. So glad I did fish was beautiful and flakey, the chips were gorgeous and the mushy peas were mushy not a blob of green like some places. Overall the whole meal was almost grease free and extremely tasteful well done I will be back.”

  “Disappointed on this visit. Over £21 for large fish & chips, it was a big portion with the intention of sharing. The fish seemed over cooked to me, the batter was more than crispy, more like brittle and not much fish inside it. Shame really, always enjoyed them from there before.”

  “Food is always incredible here, staff are friendly with a smile. Today, got a meal deal with two jumbo battered sausages, chips, sauce and a drink for £11! Absolute value for money, and fed two of us. 10/10 would recommend.”

  “No No No… this is no way to run a chippy. I ordered online early at 4.15pm due to missing lunch today. Got an email saying delivery would be with us by 5.45pm!!! I called to ask why so long to be told by a lovely guy that they don’t start deliveries until 5pm… apparently that info should be clear on website when ordering… it wasn’t. Anyway I was ok with a bit of a wait until just after 5pm which i was assured would be when dinner would arrive. At 5.37pm i got a text saying they are running a little late !! I continued to wait. At 6.10pm i called again to be told the food was on its way with the driver. No apology. No explanation. Just thats how it is. So i waited again for this amazing cooked to order food that i had seen the Chippy boast about on other review replies. 6.15pm the food arrived. 2 hours after being ordered. It was warm and certainly had been well cooked. The cod was dry and overcooked and the chips were much more well done than i have experienced in many a chip shop over the past 50 years or so !! We tried the Chippy because people on FB said it was great… we wont be back… we love our other local chip shop and they will continue to benefit from our custom. I see the Chippy is advertising for a trainee manager… hope they have bought in someone good to do the training as it is very much needed.”
