Sorry, missing pictures…read more Quality/Quantity - Definitely a hit in this area, always busy. One of the first fish & chips businesses that you see when walking into town. Good setup for fast casual, almost fast food. Simple menu done well. Chicken and vegan options are also available. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant that you can either eat in or buy as take out. Busy popular location. Again, one of the first fish & chips businesses as you walk into town. Not sure if it is done for marketing, but I think having so many customers wait outside for their order attracts more customers. :) Service - Good, fast, friendly. Price - See menu, reasonably priced. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2002. Congrats also on being awarded the most sustainable fish & chip shop in all of England (2023).

I've also heard that the North does it best (although the one time I had it up there, I wasn't that impressed). A friend told me that if I was in Cornwall, I should go to Rick Stein's restaurant because he does his fish and chips in the traditional style which is fried in beef drippings. So on our trip to Falmouth, I thought that we were going to have to drive out to his restaurant in order to try these fish and chips I've heard so much about. Luckily, Rick Stein has opened a place in Falmouth so it was easy to go and try. They don't take reservations, but we walked in around 7:00 pm on a Saturday night, and while it was busy, it wasn't full so we managed to get a seat at the window. I ordered crab salad as a starter and the other half ordered salt and pepper prawns. We both ordered cod and chips. He raved about his the flavor of his prawns, and my crab was incredibly tasty. Then came the fish and chips. For something deep fried in beef drippings the batter was light and crisp. The fish was incredibly tasty, and the homemade tartare sauce was so amazing we had to order some extra! The wine list was a bit lacking, but we found a nice Petit Chablis to have with our fish. This is by far the best fish and chips I've had to date. If you're ever in the area (or you're in the Padstow area where his other restaurants are), I highly recommend having the fish and chips!

The portions of fish were generous and the price is right for what you get. The service was well-- serviceable but I wish they were a bit more attentive. We finished our meal and waited probably a good 10 minutes before we had to ask for the check. Then we waited another 10 minutes for us to wait until we finally had to ask to server about paying and we got directed to the front to pay. Perhaps we Americans have a different set of expectations at restaurant and I'm certain there was an amount of miscommunication on our part. I still love the food and totally recommend visiting here for the food but I just wish that we were a bit more clued in as far was the check was concerned.
