Quite possibly the worst fish and chips I've ever eaten . Not sure what it was I consumed but the fish definitely tasted of nothing and also the chips too , I'm not even sure how that is possible. £25 down the drain and probably a visit to doc Martin later for food poisoning or diahorehea. Avoid like the plague . Actually I think it could have been the plague that killed my fish . I remember the days when you used to go to seaside for good chips . Those days are sadly gone . .

Given wrong order, stone cold curry sauce, dry and rock hard chips, luke warm sausage, fish sparsley covered in overcooked, greasy batter. This place is mediocre and overrated, even the dog turned his nose up at the food, says everything.

Huge serving of great fish and chips.Good price, too.Parking: It's a bit of a walk from the car park... but safer than risking street parking!

Lucky enough that the food was cooked fresh, lovely fish and chips and some good specials. Only downside is there are no pies or anything similar for those that don’t like fish, all I could see was jumbo sausage. But very nice

Absolutely awful doesn't even deserve 1* .....over cooked batter saturated in oil, fish dry as a bone, some chips still raw, overall totally wasted £32 definitely will not be returning the worst fish and chips EVER ?

Chips refried from leftovers (confirmed by staff ) overpriced very poor and very expensive a real rip 0ff.Port Isaac is so lovely would be nice to have a proper fish and chip shop .We gave a sample of the chips to a local resident who was sitting on our bench and they spat it

Very tasty, but fairly small portions of cod. I liked the catch of the day.The service was fairly quick, but few smiles.Quite small place, so not much space to sit.

Lovely haddock, great chips, good portion and the salt and pepper squid was lovely, well worth a visit. I'm from Grimsby so we know fish and it was great. Takes electronic

10/09/2023 The chips were really tasty but the service was poor. I was barely acknowledged when I went in and waited for several minutes before being told to wait by the till (I had been waiting by the till). No “good evening” or “can I help you?” - just a monosyllabic grunt to indicate that I could give my order. No “thank you” - just a “wait outside.” Some customer service training wouldn’t go amiss.

Chips looked.lovely but tasted liked they had been triple fried. I don't know if it was cos it was end of day that they had been reheated but all I could taste is the oil. Also tight on the salt amd vinegar. Could hardly taste it. Should let you put it on yourself.

I used to have a favourite chippy. That changed after a trip to Pengelly’s. Yes, you will queue. Yes you will wait outside while it’s cooked. But the location is beautiful, the folks friendly, and the wait worth it. It is tiny, but the quality is anything but. Chips better than I’ve ever tasted, and a homemade tartare sauce to go with my scampi - both were awesome. Finish off the experience by wandering down to the harbour wall to eat and take in the view out to sea with Port Isaac giving you shelter.

Worst scampi and salt and pepper squid, we couldn’t finish eating it. Was lukewarm and didn’t taste very fresh, also homemade tartare sauce was tart and flavourless.

The most disgusting fish and chips I’ve had in years.The fish was in soggy, broken batter and the chips were rock hard and revolting.

Haddock and cod were both great.Chips were massive and a good size portion.Homemade tartare sauce was really good.
