Paignton Pier Chippy Co.

If you’re going to the seaside, you’ve got to have fish chips. There may even still be a law requiring it. But, even If not, it’s a smart idea for lunch. And this is as smart a place (or is that plaice) as it gets round here. Not least as all the fish is from sustainable sources, certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. They have a few booths inside but there are impossible for folk of, ahem, certain proportions. We were about to give up when one of the even fewer tables outside became free. You order at the takeaway counter and wait for your number to be called to collect., There was a quite a wait, but this was a Sunday on a bank holiday weekend and Paignton was much busier than when I...

Had take away small fish and chips. While waiting for our order we noticed that the price for the fish on the board was different to what we had been charged. When I asked one of the younger staff members about this I was told...that the fish had gone up but the manager hadn't altered the board, I said that they were breaking the law but then an older woman member of staff started being really rude saying that there are more important things to worry about like we have had covid and was it worth it. We explained that you would not go to a supermarket and see a price and not be bothered when charged more. What an example to set to the younger members of staff.

A walk on a dark, blowy evening on the sea front Paignton, the kids said can we have chips on the Pier. So to the Pier chippy we went. Option to sit in or seating outside, we decided outside. We ordered the food, fish chips and mushy peas for me, mixture of fish’s beans scampi for the family. Not that expensive and told ‘be about minutes as it’s all cooked fresh’. Time flew by and collect food. As my yr old summed it up, I was expecting these to be the usual rubbish cheap stuff you normally get on piers but this is the best scampi and chips I’ve had. ! Fish was fabulous and plentiful.Would definitely recommend

Expensive and inflexible to say the least! We visited this restaurant with our young children we asked if they could do just the chicken nuggets without the chips as they wouldn't eat them and it would be a waste of money and food.. their response was No! everything comes with chips Although the food was okay (nothing to go shouting home about we wouldn't recommend this place to anyone as their approach to customer service stinks and they are massively over priced.

Poor food quality, very expensive and service was extremely poor. Obviously they are busy because of location but not because of the quality Fish was mostly batter and hardly any fish. Chips greasy and fatty
