We visited Blue Ocean to put in an order for 20 of our family members. I called ahead and while…read moreEnglish wasn't their first language they clearly took our order, and correctly cooked up all our food. 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!

I run a small business All Rubbish & Chard House Clearance and was employed by the owner of…read moreCharmouth Fish Bar, Sue Harvey, to clear some redundant equipment and waste from a recent refurbishment to the kitchen and restaurant. 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.

We had been recommended this place by folks in Woodstock Vermont USA, where we run an award winning…read morehospitality business. We used to live in Dorset and the fact that a recommendation travelled 4000 miles is impressive...but could the place deliver on a damp grey November Thursday? 13.00 struck on the town clock and in we walk to the quiet cafe bar area, to be met by some delightful staff and seated quickly, after a drink in the rather fetching contemporary bar area. Now this place is not just another seaside cafe...oh no...it's a cut above that. The art on the wall has whimsey, and the large arm chairs would be more often seen in an urban Starbucks setting. The restaurant windows all over look the bay and even on a grey November day there was atmosphere, simple jazz influenced music playing at just the the right level to create ambiance and not kill it. The location on the sea front, is a short sea shell throw away from the new beach, you do indeed have lots of sand in Lyme these days! The sea front had a make over in 2012 and now even has a very smart National Trust shop and was a real surprise. We had taken two local friends and we all ordered, fish chips with mushy peas for some, fresh mussels in a wonderful cream sauce for others and tempura battered vegetables. To drink we had Fentimans ginger beer, Guinness and water. All got 10/10. The bill 80 quid for six was very good value, and we left with a wonderful glow, to go to the gallery in the town and buy a small piece of Garry Jones art . He has an art piece on the restaurant wall....a car door...yes an actual car door with a fantastic ceramic dog leaning out of it! Priceless humour that cannot fail to make one smile. This place is a real find and a cut above the average seaside eatery.

As it was lunchtime we opted for the lunchtime special of fish (haddock or cod) and chips with a cup of tea or coffee - those who did mushy peas added them. Everything was excellent and freshly cooked, the fish was crisply battered and not at all soggy with oil, as it can often be. Mushy peas tasted as they should without the need to be seasoned. All in, four grown-ups and a very hungry toddler were well fed and watered for £20.
