Basil Fawlty of chip shops. And that's where the comedy ends, or is it!…read moreAlthough we live in Axminster we usually go to Chard or Seaton for take aways as they are generally better and will continue to do so when we opt for fish and chips. We placed our order for 1 X small cod and chips and 1 X regular cod and chips, waited patiently for 20 minutes and witnessed the almost laughable service unfold. Total chaos os the name of the game in this chip shop, the order being prepared ahead of ours raised some concerns when a piece of fish that was being picked up with bare hands fell apart in to 5-6 pieces and looked quite inedible once the server had finished with it, however she proceeded to place the fish in with the chips and box it up totally unbeknown to the customer who was waiting outside. Then the confusion and chaos stepped up a notch as all 4 of the serving staff became totally confused with my simple order, namely over the piece of fish on display in the serving cabinet and at this stage each of the serving staff picked the piece of fish up with their bare hands trying to determine the weight of it and therefore whether it was a regular or small cod. I raised my concerns and suggested that if there is confusion over safe food handling and my order that I would take refund and leave. At this point the male server became rather aggressive constantly stating his hands were clean, even though he appeared to be the chap who collected the raw fish from the kitchen before frying it. his aggression became elevated as I continued to raise my concerns over food hygiene, to the point he told us to take our refund , watch my attitude and get out. If the owners of this establishment read this I would seriously advise recruiting some experienced management before your current staff run your business in to the ground.

They were even helpful enough to give us a whole thing of vinegar since it was complicated to know who wanted salt and vinegar, just salt, just vinegar and so on! While we don't visit Taunton very often, there's a reason this place has a line out of the door on Tuesday lunchtimes! Very friendly, attentive, and many of our family having the fish especially said it was the best fish, they've ever had from a fish and chip shop! Very impressive report from some highly critical members who know their fish and chip shops well. Definitely recommended if you are in the area!

Sue treated me like a guest, not worker and plied me lots of cups of tea and charm throughout the morning as I worked. When I finished my clearance and presented Sue with the bill, not only did she present me with a handsome tip, also insisted that I went away with a portion of cod and chips. I reluctantly agreed, being a picky eater, good fish & chips these days are a distant memory. Well, I am converted.!!! The centre of the universe for fantastic fish & chips, for me, is definitely, smack bang in the middle of Charmouth Fish Bar..!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, to the charming Sue Harvey and her most attentive staff for making my day. Bogdan Tobiasiewicz All Rubbish & Chard House Clearance

All food cooked to order so is fresh, but there can be a wait at busy times. Not to worry tickets are issued with your order and an indication of how long before your food is ready.

Alternatively, visit the local store for an ATM just beyond the pedestrian crossing. All food was of good quality and served with a smile.

It's counter service. Weekend breakfast begins at 10am. At that time a swarm of dwellers will descend upon the counter to make sure their breakfast is accounted for. Join the queue and patiently wait (it moves pretty fast and they are very friendly and efficient). Grab a tray, order your menu items and coffees/teas, pick up drinks, sit down, grab cutlery/water/napkins, wait, food arrives. It's really all rather smooth, honestly. In fact, I'd venture to say I like this way BETTER than table service. No tracking down the check when you are ready to depart, just up and leave. Bravo! The Farmhouse Breakfast was gorgeous (see photo) and the Belgian Waffles with bacon and maple syrup were divine (though our toddler was hesitant to share, I don't blame him!). Brother in law enjoyed the Benedict and basically licked the plate. My flat white was intense and necessary. Everything was, simply put, perfect. On a nice day there are plenty of outside seats and its perfectly placed nearly ON the beach, so the views are stellar. It is the only thing around for miles, so enjoy it. The setting is pristine. If its rainy and windy (which it was), the covering is quite sufficient and seats many "inside." All this for about £50. Our best meal in the area, would definitely return.
