Great fish and chips in a smart setting, served by friendly and attentive staff…read more The Welcome Fryer was an on the spot choice for us and we were not sorry we bobbed in. 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.

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!

If you are looking for good old fish and chips, wrapped in paper, to eat by the seaside, then please bypass the numerous kebab and fast food eateries dotted along the main commercial streets in Bude. Instead, pop just off of the main street, tucked in a side road, to The Mermaid. I had a Cod and Chips, which I could barely even finish for a fiver, a fiver! Given the price of cod in most chips shops I have visited locally, I was amazed. Cheap, tasty, huge portions, exactly what I want in a chippie!
