The chips seemed to think they were still in the field, undercooked and bewildered in the bag. The chicken burger was a masterclass in aridity, crying out for a splash of sauce. The fish was passable, but its batter wore a coat of grease like it was going out of style. A friendly suggestion: less time spent jousting with online reviews, more time perfecting the fryer's art. If there were any other options in the village, that's where we'd be.

Good Friday 2024 - you would hope the local chip shop would be prepared! The most awful service I have ever experienced in a takeaway! The man in charge was clearly stressed and very rude to every customer! Had there been an alternative I would have told him to shove his fish and chips up his a*se! The poor assistant was thoroughly embarrassed and tried to make up for his colleagues awful behaviour! If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! To top things off the food was awful… completely overcooked! The chicken burger had no salad or mayo…just a plain bun with a costco chicken burger in!Never again! What a shame this is the only chip shop in Fowey!

Stopped in here today just to get a small portion of chips to eat, whilst walking to Readymoney Cove. Ordered a small portion, costing £2.70. Was told there would be a 6 minute wait, as they are cooked fresh to order. Being from Cornwall, I have eaten from many different fish & chip shops, and I can honestly say these were the best chips I have ever eaten. Cooked to perfection, and fantastic portion size, I've had smaller large portions before. Can't wait to have them again.

Worst chips I have ever had. Dirty oil

Chip portion was huge, and they were possibly the best chips I've ever eaten.

We was genuinely shocked when we unwrapped our fish and chips to find that the fish was swimming in oil, so much so that it had gone through the wrapping paper. The fish was warm (and should have been hot as we were staying just up the road from the fish and chip shop). The chips were soft as if they had just been warmed up. I am writing this review as I am concerned someone will become ill with the standard of food that is being served. I now regret not reading the reviews first before going to the fish and chip shop.

We were hungry and decided we would try the local chip shop for cod and chips as we were beside the sea and as they are meant to be the best! £13 for a single cod and chips was a bit expensive but we are in Fowey. What we received was chips that were reheats! The cod was overcooked. But for the money we paid we should have had fresh chips and a nice bit of cod! I should have read the reviews! I was in Mousehole and had the best fish and chips for £10 they were 1st class as for yours they are only fit for the seagulls!As for your auto reply it actually says a lot about your customer service!I have copied and pasted your auto reply below.Thank you for taking the time to review our little fish & chip shop, over recent months I have taken the time to do some extensive research into our negative reviews and compared us against other coastal fish & chip take aways, the conclusion I have come to is that.. if our fish & chips isn’t EXACTLY the same as YOUR local chippy then ours will always be “THE WORST FISH & CHIPS YOU EVER HAD” soThank you ?

Probably the worst fish and Chips we have ever had! Frozen fish for starters, like you would buy in a supermarket, Grey rubbery scampi, the cheapest kind! cold chips! I mean, really! You are positioned on one of the most beautiful Cornish coasts with an abundance of fresh fish on your doorstep. You don't deserve to be in such a beautiful place.Your response is arrogant, you clearly don't care about what you serve your customers We took our food home, 2 minute walk.Had the best fish and Chips at Walkers in Padstow. You could get some lessons from them.

The worst chippy we have ever been to. £30 pound down and honestly it was vile. We waited 40 minutes, the staff really need some training on how to prep in advance fish for orders instead of doing 1 order then the next. The fish batter was horrible and even my two kids refused to finish.Don't waste your time with this place.Also the owner clearly doesn't take responsibility for trying to improve the establishment and blames the customers attitudes for the reviews. Clearly needs to look a bit closer to home with the issues.
awful fish and chips! the chips were like cardboard and the fish was that greasy the oil came through the cardboard tray and the paper it was wrapped in - see photo. should have asked for our money back but decided to give it all to the

Visited Saturday 13th October 23
Place was empty but town was quiet so that didn’t ring any alarm bells. Ordered Chips and peas fir myself , 2 x Fish chips and peas and 1 chips and sausage.
I got my chips and peas first , this is the first time ive had unpeeled chips in a takeaway and that wouldn’t normally be a problem but the fact that the chips were pale and tasteless was , I dont think they had been fried but rather warmed up .
My reaction was noticed by my partner who told me to play nicely and not complain as she and our friends were still waiting on their meals.
My meal went in with the rest of the rubbish waiting to be collected at the door outside the other meals made it to the car and then the car park bin.
This is the worst lot of fish and chips we have ever had anywhere, the fact that they are next to harbour and the SEA ( there’s a clue in the location) is doubly frustrating.
Do not waste your hard earned cash , read the reviews first , wish we had . Do not eat here even if you are desperate. NO, NO and NO
And to the proprietor, this isn’t about being worse than my local fish and chips this is the worst anywhere in my 63 yrs on the planet and I’ve eaten some questionable meals.

Worst piece of fish I have ever had. Thin, grey, watery, tasteless fish (supposedly cod) surrounded in greasy, overcooked batter, cooked in old stale oil. Absolutely vile. All topped off by appalling customer service.
Lucy Blackman
Fish was okay. Chips truly dreadful. Cold. Oily. Perhaps yesterday's chips reheated. Part of order not in bag ( lucky escape?) Slow service. Really poor experience. Avoid!

How can you get fish and Chips this wrong by the sea side - the chips tasted like they were from yesterdays lunch serving. Cod was over cooked and fish cake was undercooked.Wish we had read the reviews before we went there! Spend your money your money somewhere else — like the curry take away xx
