As a family of 9 on holiday, we had our last evening meal at the end of our holiday in this fish and chip restaurant. We were not disappointed and wished we had found this gem of a place earlier in the week! Great food, lots of variety, and very reasonably priced. Service was quick and efficient. Staff were all very friendly. If we are ever back in Carbis Bay we look forward to visiting you again.

Absolutely fantastic system with ordering drinks at the bar before you sit down at the table. Wish more restaurants were doing the same. Get a drink, pay for it right away and it makes it so much easier for customers and staff. Food was really nice, huge portion. A shame that they use cheap ketchup though but that's probably a norm for most of places. Would recommend.

We were reluctant to go out for dinner on our holiday after such poor service in other eateries in North Cornwall. So we were absolutely delighted to be given the best experience here! The food is generous and delicious and the service comes with a huge smile. A place that is clearly popular - we revisited on the final night of our week away because it was all so yummy!

We've had both takeaway and eaten in the restaurant on our holiday and both agree it's the best fish and chips meal we've ever had.

We’d been looking forward to eating at Becks but were disappointed. No dogs allowed in the restaurant so we got takeaway and drove to the nearest beach and sat in the car. The chips were totally amazing but my cod tasted chewy and not freshly cooked (probably cooked twice). I asked for gluten free cod and chips and heard him shout over large portions (I pulled a face but was ignored). This consisted of two bits of fish which I was never going to eat, especially as it wasn’t freshly cooked and was very chewy. My husband had GF haddock and he confirmed mine wasn’t as fresh. Tip to owners: when you are charging this amount for takeaway it needs to be good.

You need to visit Becks for the best fish and chips in cornwall. Such a lovely atmosphere and staff and will accommodate anything, even gluten free. Great that they don’t accept dogs too as if you’re not a dog person quite hard to eat in cornwall without a dog under the table. Just wish they would open more days or longer hours during school holidays. Keep up the good work.

I’d give more stars if I could. The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. I often visit Cornwall and Becks is local to where I’m staying this time. I had a cod and chips takeaway. Regular. The fish was cooked perfectly and of a good size for regular, the chips crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The batter had a lovely flavour and was crispy. I like that they have a big car park at the rear for all customers. The staff were polite and were doing very well to keep the queue moving. Impressive operation where everyone clearly cares about what they’re doing. Thank you. I will be back.

We last visited Becks what seems like decades ago. We always appear to have been passing since when it is closed or on route to another destination. Thankfully the drought is now over. Managed finally to be hungry and passing (although truth be told it was actually a planned visit). 5 of us went there were 5 empty plates. They served goodly portions leaving all very full. You can go large if you wish but be prepared for whale size portions folks as when they say the standard portion is like a large already they mean it. The batter on the cod was second to none and as crispy as it comes, the cod itself was lovely and thick and silky which is seriously hard to come by these days. When you crack open the batter not only is it piping hot it smells like the fish and chips did when i were growing up . We also had scampi which was excellent and breaded plaice which I am told was delicious. Best surprise of all was they also had gravy and curry sauce too which was a bonus please be aware though its not on the menu so make sure you ask for it as they are both very very good (huge servings too). We are all looking forward to a revisit. If you are also considering if the gluten free bit affects anything the answer is a resounding no. All chippy’s should use it if it would make the fish and chips taste like Becks.

Tracked down Becks mainly for their gluten free options. Plaice in gf batter was excellent as was the regular haddock, good to see hake on the menu too. Both batters were nice and crispy, medium chip portion was mountainous and very generous fish portions. Chips were perfect. Mushy peas very good texture and flavour and natural looking colour unlike some of the overly sweet and dayglo coloured offerings you get from some places. You can buy all the sauces and ketchups you might need from the counter too. Highly recommend Becks.

Update: Had a take away this time. Haddock and chips are still brilliant quality. Regular Haddock order came with two fish pieces which is incredible - very tasty and meaty fish which was cooked fresh to order! Chips were good as were the baked beans. Defo try the haddock. Regular cod was a massive hit again with the other party members; beautifully cooked which flaked away on the fork! Unfortunately, the mushy peas were not mushy at all! More like bullets so both inedible portions were left. Staff in the take away part of the restraint were very friendly!! Restaurant was clean. Only other issue are the opening hours in the evening. Closes to early; should be open til at least 9:30 to allow for more normal eating times for adults; barely have a drink before it closes at 8pm. Defo come again but will obviously have to be early. Old: One of my favourite childhood memories this place. When we used to come down to St Ives and Carbis Bay for our holidays, this was a go to place for one of our teas. Great portion sizes and atmosphere. Haddock was tasty I remember when I went a few years ago. Wait was a little long though.

The reviews of this place are spot on! The coeliacs in the group were made to feel safe and so much of the menu was able to be gluten free they had lots to choose from. Dont be put off by the old-school decor or the location being a bit outside the main st ives town. Its totally worth making the effort. The family run place was welcoming and friendly from the moment we stepped in the door. Absolutely amazing food and family friendly environment.

Wow what can I say… great little place with a very relaxed atmosphere… currently on holiday from Twickenham (London) but was made to feel right at home… in fact it felt as if they went the extra mile… in truth it was probably another night providing great customer service for the team… been the only African American on the night, I felt invisible, no awkward moments or stares which is always appreciated… the food was a real treat and I left feeling disappointed I couldn’t finish my plate… believe me they don’t hold back on the portions and it’s not to over compensate for quality… I felt I walked away getting one over on old Becky considering what we paid for the meal… in the end we left a well deserved tip

Desert (lemon meringue pie) very disappointing. It looked good and it when I asked it was recommended... However I think it was made in a factory, fozen then reheated. Not great. Very odd texture and didn't taste of lemon or meringue (amazingly). Stick to the ice cream if you need a dessert

Visited here last night with my son and husband. Check the opening times as it closes early at 8pm. And it is closed on a Sunday and Monday. We eat in the restaurant and have had our best meal yet on holiday. It has a real oldie worldie charming feel to it inside. When you enter, there is a sign saying go to the far end of the bar to be seated. In short, the lady takes your name, asks you to buy drinks at the bar, and then goes that's done. You'll be taken to your seat. Food is made to order, but ours came out quickly. Brillant kids menu. See pic plus colours and activity sheet kept our boy busy. The fish and chips were perfection! Fresh, crispy batter and light. Curry sauce was fab, too. Paying gets done at the front, and when you're ready to leave. Old fashion hospitality and service which is friendly and welcoming. Nothing seemed rushed or crowded or hectic, which was lovely. Huge portions. Highly recommend this is a hidden gem. Although i don't think it's hidden from the reviews and how busy it was. There is also a takeaway on the side.
