“We had lovely breakfasts and praised the quick service. Unfortunately at our time of visit another group were dining in with a dog that constantly yapped loudly, which was extremely unpleasant but not reflective of the café. Clearly a family run business and I am pleased we ate there. Food wasn’t terribly priced - £11.50 on average for each person including a drink.”

“Had dinner here and Darcy our waiter was friendly and quick with service. The food was delicious and the views of Mawgan porth beach were beautiful”

“We have been visiting Perranporth for over 30 years as we have a holiday home here, and for most of that time Pickwicks was always our first choice for fish and chips. It had a well-earned reputation for being hands down the best in town. A few years ago when ownership changed we started seeing a number of negative comments on social media about poor service and food quality. Regrettably we believed what we read and stopped going, choosing instead to visit one of the other chip shops in the town.

Today we decided to give Pickwicks another chance after trying the competition the previous week, and what a difference it turned out to be. We each ordered a large cod and chips to take away, and when we got home, unpacked and plated up, we were happily surprised by what greeted us. The portions were extremely generous, with the cod easily three times the size of what we were served elsewhere. The fillets were thick, chunky and succulent with a beautifully crisp and light batter. The chips were equally impressive, golden and fluffy inside, and some of the best I have had in years.

The service itself was excellent. Friendly, professional and quick. Yes, we had to wait a short while for the fish to be freshly cooked, but that only added to the quality and made it clear everything was prepared to order.

What really sets Pickwicks apart is that everything is fried in traditional beef dripping, giving both the fish and the chips a rich depth of flavour and an authentic edge that most modern shops have long since lost. That traditional touch is something special and it elevates the whole experience.

This visit reminded us exactly why Pickwicks was always the benchmark for fish and chips in Perranporth. It goes to show you cannot always believe what you read on the internet. We will definitely be returning regularly and would highly recommend Pickwicks to anyone wanting proper, traditional fish and chips at their very best.

Five stars without hesitation.”
