Love this place. Beautiful and peaceful place. Fish and chip are amazing.

Best ever fish and chips..perfectly cooked and staff were so friendly. Such a shame we live too far away to go back regularly

Best fish and chips in Bude. Way less greasy than the Mermaid and much crispier chips too.Their curry sauce is great as well.They've now got a touch screen ordering system which is new. I think I was the first person to ever use it based on the reaction though!

The best fish and chips around!Definitely " The Plaice to be!!"Fresh tasty fish, perfect batter - not all batter and no fish!Chips were the best! Non greasy and again freshly cooked as the turn over was fast and efficient so no reheating!Staff really friendly explaining portion sizes without hurrying you out the way!Will be going back here 100% next time in Bude!

Sorry but this was the worst fish and chips I have EVER eaten! (or should I say bought, and chucked in the bin) I can not believe some of the reviews on this page and can a only conclude that these are fake reviews?!? If you like thick tasteless batter then this is the place for you ? we had X2 large cod and chips.. Chips were awful too! Dry and tasted old! We chucked the lot and got fresh ones from the top of the road.. We should have know by the long cues and wait whilst they cooked it all fresh! I will add that the staff here were lovely but food was terrible!

The chips were just too weird - I have never seen white chips before!.....and the cod was so dry and overcooked and basically consisted of just batter! So disappointing and deflating for all the family as we rarely indulge in fish and chips, so this was intended to be a treat.......but ended up in bin! I should have taken photographs to share with everyone............. shall not ever go to The Plaice again nor will I ever recommend.....

Family ordered here as a holiday treat. Worst fish and chip shop I have ever been to. Chips are hard and rubbery, so strange we just couldn’t chew them and gave up!! Overpriced very poor quality fish can’t imagine locals buy from here just poor unsuspecting tourists, wish I’d read reviews ?

The food we received was excellent. Unfortunately, there were items missing, and as we ordered online, they couldn't refund the missing items without travelling back to the shop.Lesson learnt - check your order and don't assume they've packed the full order.

Staying locally on holiday thought we would treat ourselves to a take out after long journey. Thought it was a bonus to order online so no waiting in shop. When arrived not busy but they couldn’t find our order.Did eventually! Phone calls being taken with people complaining that their orders were incomplete or incorrect items. Chaotic to say the least! Got home to find things missing from our bagged up ready order. What we had was cold, very greasy and fish was dry and overcooked. We called to say we only got half our order and we’re told sorry as you ordered online we can’t refund. Customer care appalling. This place must rely on unsuspecting tourists as can’t imagine local people being being regulars. Never again what a waste of money and time.

Terrible pick up times for a nice family meal. Half of the order was missing and we phoned up, only for the staff to tell us, “Sorry no refunds for online orders.” The food was also dry, cold and tasteless. I would not recommend, as all you would receive is handful of grease, terrible service, and half your order missing.
Living locally, this always used to be our chippy of choice in Bude, but alas, it’s changed… tonight - astronomical prices and unpleasant food of which half was thrown away - over-cooked, dry chicken and a cremated chicken burger… time for somewhere different…

Poxy portions for an astronomical price. Couldnt tell the difference in size between a small and a regular cod and the large portions of chips were not large by any means. Typical overpriced tourist spot with naff portions of ok food at rip off prices.

Long wait even though I was only customer. Staff seemed cheerful and attentive though. Ordered a large chips and it didn't seem large at all and colour of chips was so anaemic. Actually took home and fried for longer.Shame because I hadn't had fish and chips for many years and was really looking forward to it.

The man who is called Dan was absolutely so accommodating friendly and very professional and also was the lady dishing up our order unfortunately though we had one major issue and that was with a very rude lady who was somewhere out the back when asked if she could help she shouted NO people like her shouldn’t be allowed to work with the public shame on her for letting such a lovely place down (I believe her name was Lyn or something like that) other than her the place was very professional and the food was amazing

Good service, shocking food.Large fish and chips, the chips looks like they had been reincarnated and refried yet somehow still undercooked not to mention the lack of chips in the box . The fish was okay just not worthy of a large by any means
