Catleys Fish and Chips in West Somerset

We were staying in Dulverton over the Whitsun bank holiday weekend and decided to have a chippy tea on the Saturday night. We both had small cod @ £3.99 and shared a medium portion of chips. More than enough for our appetites and very well cooked (light batter). Would definitely recommend and use again.

Absolutely love these chips! Very friendly staff, though there may be a question this is because they are sooo delicious and worth the wait! Family visit us just to be able to have the fish and chips!!! Not to see us 🤣

Lovely fish and chips and good portion size. A lot better since been taken over. Only downside are opening times and queuing can be a little disorganised as small space

I have visited this fish & chip shop on numerous times over twenty years on our annual visits to Dulverton. We always visit the chip shop on our visits. It’s changed hands on numerous times over the years. This years visit was no disappointment. It was as good as ever, maybe even bette. The chips were cooked to perfection, brown on the outside and light and fluffy inside. The fish was fantastic, light and crispy batter and excellent fish. We both had the same and really enjoyed our meals. Generous portions too. We wil be back on our next visit.

Theres 4 of us staying in a cottage in Dulverton it was our first evening and we were all tired after a 7 hr journey So opted for fish & chips the fish was really tasty with big flakes of fish We ended up throwing some chips away there was that many we had 4 medium fish and 2 portions chips and a large curry sauce £37 ....really nice

Good food.. Good portion sizes. We preordered x7 fish and chip meals. Including mushy peas and delicious curry sauce. Much better under new management. Will definitely return.

The new management have done wonders, looks very inviting. The fish and chips were delicious, not greasy at all, lovely hot and fresh. We wish them all the best with putting the fish and chip shop up there with the best. Have no hesitation in recommending. Will certainly visiting again.

I have used the takeaway a few times and given them the benefit of the doubt because they were new to the area, then covid hit so it’s not been easy I am sure. I get the impression that they haven’t run a fish and...

Absolutely great food experience. My family are fussy eaters and we don't usually eat out but excellent food. Will definitely return

ordered large fish and chips was horrified to see the young man working there walking in with fish from the local supermarket.The wait was awful was given the excuse they were low on gas .Got back unwrapped it the fish was tiny like it was...

Me and my sister were staying in this quaint village .. treated ourselves to chip super. Lovely owner who managed to still serve quality food without normal gas supply( gas man family emergency) . She could have shut but we are glad you didn’t. Villages...

Probably the best chicken burger iv ever had perfectly cooked and plenty of sauce highly recommended 😋

A short wait as both fish and chips prepared to order. Massive helping of very good chips. Fish was nicely battered and cooked, but lacked flavour.

Absolutely fabulous food. Chippy was very busy but our food was all cooked quickly and was fresh.Gorgeous chips.

Everything was amazing staff were very friendly and welcoming food was excellent definitely will be going back !

Best chippy ive had in a long time not greasy 100% will be back for more owner was really nice and polite too

Such an utter disappointment, two ladies working that day were very impolite and unprofessional, shouting to each other whilst I was waiting and speaking ill of their manager. The food wasn’t worth the money, chips were soggy and even found what seemed to be a...

First visit, the food was soggy. The second visit was not much better. Phoned through an order and asked to arrive in 30 min. Arrived and staff had lost the order. Waited a further 30 min. Price on the outside 'A board' was different from...

Food isn't bad, although standard goes down when it's busy. The service however is like a Benny Hill sketch with plenty of excuses along the way. All staff look like they've got their gardening clothes on and not sure about the nose rings and other...

Sent the kids down to get fish and chips for the family, no problems at all, lovely fresh cooked delicious fish and chips!

Well clearly said opens at 5 but here I am at 5.20 no lights on and no one in sight. Very disappointed as been out all day and didn’t stop at Tiverton thought we’d go here. Won’t make that mistake again !

Really enjoyed our supper fish and chips and sausage and chips with lovely curry sauce. Lovely service. Will def visit again

Honestly the best fish and chips around ... All fully cooked fresh in front of u .. Friendly and happy staff makes it an overall enjoyable experience as well as meals

Such lovely chips! Best chips I’ve had in a while. Really nice curry sauce as well. Definitely recommending to friends

Called in on way back home.Excellent food served quickly and very fresh.nice friendly atmosphere. Will definitely come back again.The half a chicken was huge Beautifully cooked and enough for a sarnie later

Our second takeaway from this establishment as we're not local and just visiting. Ordered 4 cod and chips, a burger with extras and all cooked lovely and still hot by the time we got back to our cottage. Good value and friendly service!

My partner and I visited Exmoor for a break. We stopped at the local chippy.The food was absolutely amazing.very very friendly staff Food all cooked to order.They even made us gluten free fish which partner loved .Very clean place Nice atmosphere. We will definitely recommend...

Chips had obviously been cooked a while & were limp & Luke warm. Battered sausage & pie ok though. Garlic mushrooms were ok also

The fish and chips were absolutely out of this world! Superbly cooked fish. But… the wait time was awful despite preordering. However, fortunately the quality of the food allowed forgiveness!

We bought a couple of portions of fish and chips. I had a the gluten free option as I am coeliac. We both really enjoyed our supper and agreed that it was one of the best and tastiest fish and chips that we have had....

Staying local, decided to have a family fish and chip supper. Checked the opening times during the day, only to go in the evening and find it shut. No note on the door just shut, shut, shut. Not impressed!

I speak as I find, we are local and rarely order a takeaway, it's been awhile that we've placed an order here as not always living up to expectations....BUT oh yum! These were good!!! Crispy non greasey fish, cheesy chips, sausage for the dog we...

A great place to eat.Food freshly cooked.i understand their one frier was not working but still we got excellent food cooked and very polite helpful staff A clean welcoming chippy.Will definitely go again.My sons loved it too.

I don’t know where the last reviewer was, but it bears no resemblance to my experience. I believe the shop had experienced a fault with their fryer which may explain the delay, but I certainly had no complaints. We telephoned our order in advance, but...

Absolutely shocking in every aspect. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for 2x sausage and chips. There was at least 15 people waiting well over an hour for just a bag of chips. The owners havnt got a clue and would would rather talk...

Couldn't have been fresher, tastier or better cooked. Phone in your order and agree on a pick-up time to avoid queus

Can't fault it! Go here regularly and staff are always polite and friendly. Usually have to wait for the food for about 15 minutes but as it's cooked fresh to order, it's deffinalty worth the wait! Cod is always beautifully cooked and accomplished with some...

Worth the wait. Was told 30 mins, so we walked around the town with the dog. Got our fish and chips back. They have to be the best fish and chips from a chippy I've had in a long time (these days prefer restaurants as...

Staying in the campsite down the road, so convenient, probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The chips were so crispy and light, never had chips like it before and the fish was crispy and tasted lovely. The staff were so bubbly, friendly...

We ordered a takeaway for 15 people and collected it to take home to our place in Exford. Despite a 20 min drive home the chips were crispy and the cod was fantastic. Highly recommend

ordered sausage,chips and curry sauce,was very busy so had a slight wait but was ready in time i was told and the food was cooked fresh as i waited will definitely eat there again and recommend it to my friends and family.

Went on a very busy night.Very polite friendly staff.Food freshly cooked.Will definitely go again.Very large portions

Best fish & chips I’ve had for ages. Staying in Dulverton ( a regular visitor ) & after a long day walking decided that a fish & chip supper was needed. Ordered medium cod & chips & a curry sauce, was told it would be...

Not the best chips but fish was nice bit of a wait but they were busy with telephone orders still understandable on bk holiday weekend

Staying in a motorhome on a nearby site. Decided to try this place on a quiet Tuesday April evening. Ordered a large chips, minced beef pie, sausage in batter, curry sauce and a gravy. Waited outside due to covid for 45 minutes! As if this...

The food is not very nice and I will never be eating from them again as I have lived in Dulverton for 13 years and it is the worst and delivery is awful

Chips are up there with the best of them. Shame no gluten free batter today, but fair enough it is a Saturday night. Chips alone were worth the visit and my wife enjoyed her fish too

We stopped in at 8.45pm when the sign says closes at 9 and pleaded for some food and whilst they had run out of chips, this was not an issue as we had a burger each and a big portion of onion rings. Oh my...

We ordered our fish and chips and were given an order number. We didn't have to wait long even though they were busy. Social distancing was very good. We were not disapointed, they were very good and still pumping hot when we got back to...

After walking past for four days, I HAD to try them out. The chips were fantastic and my wife said the fish was to die for. It was after 8.30 at night and we were camping in the area and starving hungry too but it...

.... this is not the prettiest, fanciest chip shop BUT, by heck, the fish and chips are blooming fabulous! And I know about these things! 😉😎 Fabulous meal! 😁

After waiting for over an hour after being told it would be 20 minutes for my food, returned to eat our meal to find the curry sauce was brown water and the kebab was burnt, like leather and inedible. The scampi and chips we had...

Fish & Chips, scampi & Chips, both very good. Chips are crispy and fish is we cooked, really enjoy every visit here, not something that can be said for other chip shops. Give it a go.

Visited this chip shop whilst on holiday nearby. Only a small chippy, seems family run. Ordered food on arrival and was given an order number. Waited outside whilst order cooked fresh. Waited a while but was worth waiting for. Fabulous fish and chips. White flaky fish with crispy batter. Excellent chips and good size portion. Definitely recommend.

The Fish and Chips were excellent - however I might suggest that a Time and Motion expert might have had our food in our hands a little quicker than the 35 minutes we had to wait.

Firstly, I think the name has changed to simply Dulverton FIsh and Chips. Anyway, I was staying at a somewhat pricey Airbnb down the road, so I decided to have takeaway fish and chips for dinner one night instead of eating out. Inside, this chippy looks very utilitarian, but don't let that put you off. We soon found out the reason for the huge pile of books (children's and adults') - everything is cooked to order and there is a considerable wait as a result. However, unless you are really pressed for time or have parking issues, this should not be an issue given the quality. The prices are standard fish and chip prices, but the quality is above your standard chippy. Recommended.

We used the takeaway facility. It was fairly good value for money. Various closing times are quoted online, but it is usually 21:00.

Freshly cooked food and the fish is gorgeous. Staff are friendly and the owner is lovely. Bit of a wait due to being freshly cooked and the last few times the chips have been a bit “scabby”.

Not fast food, especially as it was fairly busy when I ordered, but really delicious and worth the wait !

A highlight of our annual stay in Dulverton is always a visit to the local chip shop and this year was no exception. Everything was freshly cooked to our order, cod, fish cakes, chicken pieces, sausage and sausage in batter. All were excellent. Very friendly staff too who gave us an extra bag of chips as it was near closing time. We will be back for more!

Very popular chippy, good service and good portion sizes great tasting fish and chips. fish is cooked to order but waiting time was not to long.

Brilliant service and great food. We pass this on our first afternoon in Dulverton and check the reviews before stopping at the Bull Inn for a drink to check out the reviews we weren’t disappointed feat food and fast service. Would highly recommend

Good value fish and chips, the chip portions were very generous. Popular with locals and visitors alike.

Living abroad I always look forward to local fish and chips. I was not disappointed. Very popular with several locals in the shop when we arrived. They offer gluten free battered fish but you have to order twenty minutes in advance. No problem as we went to the pub round the corner for a pint. The service is friendly and professional and very friendly. The cod was perfectly cooked and the batter was crisp. Chips were wonderful We had a great feast and very very reasonably priced. A wonderful meal and served with a wonderful smile. Well worth going.

So there was a staff shortage and only two people running what looked like a busy friday. Then we pitch up with a gluten free batter order. No problem, but it will be cooked fresh so you OK to wait. When the order was called in what I thought was a very reasonable time, not only was the batter gluten free but the chips has been cooked so they weren't contaminated with batter. Couldn't get better service.

Not sure the staff know what they are doing. Ordered two cod and chips with mushy peas. When I got it home, the fish was overcooked. with an exoskeleton of hard burnt batter and the chips tasted old and stale and not at all pleasant. Mushy peas were OK probably because its out of a tin and just needs warming up. The young couple staffing it need some retraining in how to do their jobs properly.

Recently purchased 2x fish and chip portions . Greasy tasteless chips, soggy batter with over cooked dry fish. Maybe it was the chefs night off, either way I’m going to be awhile before I order again

Went to the Bridge Inn hoping for a table, but full up. No idea where else to go on a Saturday night, so we chose Catleys take away.

We travelled 10 miles from our holiday lodgings to get here, whilst the staff were polite enough the food I would say was average, chips tasted as though they had been cooked then reheated. Fish was nice batter was a-bit cardboardy in places where it was a-bit thick. Don’t get me wrong it’s decent enough but nothing special

Unlike some of the of the pretentious pubs and restaurants in Dulverton the fish and chips served from this little shop is absolutely great. The exterior of the fish and chip shop is a little run down in appearance but results are awesome...generous portions of fish and chips and not expensive. Wish we had as good a fish and chip shop near us at home. Takeaway service only served in wrapped paper no foam or cardboard packaging. Well done you for thinking about the environment....

We visit Dulverton as a family at least once a year and we always have fish & chips from the local fish & chip shop in Dulverton for one meal. I think this is the third lot of owners since we ha e been coming to Dulverton, but the quality is still as good as on our first visit 14 years ago.

Our most recent visit was the best ever, the chips were completely fabulous and the fish as fresh as anything. Everything seems to be pretty much cooked to order in peak times so there can be a small wait but, it was worth every second!

Having read a previous review regarding portion size being small we ordered medium fish and a separate cod bites for my partner. We noticed that there are three sizes if chips available.

Sadly I had to go back and ask for more chips as the portion for two people was only a handful They gave me another handful. The did was nice and had more personality than the staff.

Wow! Absolutely the best fish n chips ever and coming from the seaside resort of Cromer I’ve tried some real good uns! Didn’t think it was possible but there it is! Cooked and flavoursome to perfection.

A bit disappointed with my order tonight. Had a medium chips at lunchtime yesterday which were the best I’d ever tasted, simply delicious crispy fluffy chips what were to die for. However tonight I went for two large cod and 1 large chips and what a different experience. The chips firstly were half the size of the medium and I could see when they were served I had the last of that fry which was just bad serving. The fish was more like cod bites and resembled big goldfish rather than large cod.

First time we went here it was lovely, we had kebabs and they were spicy and the chips were perfect. Second time the meat had changed, no where near as nice, then the 3rd time changed again Under cooked meat and brown hard undercooked chips! Such a shame as it should be a little goldmine with a captive audience.

Had fish and chips out of here my wife a veggie burger and nephew a burger all with chips. Nephew, wife and myself were in total agreement that these were the best chips we can remember having and huge portions. Ok granted I've had slightly better fish but the chips more than compensated for that.

Old style fish and chip shop offering quality freshly cooked food, usually to order. Well worth the wait.

Probably the worst fish and chips I have ever had.

Call them up, tell them what you want and they'll fry it for you. Prices are good, no arm twisting here.

Fish cooked to order - the cod was lovely and the scampi also a hit, generous portions of chips and not too long a wait!

Under new management and this lady is pulling out the stops to regain a reputation that was lost by the previous owners, and she’s doing great. I’ve not had anything less than tasty, crispy, fresh fish and chips, I always ask for ‘extra crispy chips’ as I HATE soggy chips, they’ve always accommodated me....thanks for that!

Went in on Fri evening with a group of friends we waited while our food was cooked fresh and we were not disappointed it was very much enjoyed will definitely go back if passing. The cod was excellent and best batter I've tasted for a while and 2 of my friends had plaice which they enjoyed and the chips were nice with crispy bits.lovely curry sauce and mushy peas. The staff were very polite and chatty. Well done to you all. They coped very well considering there were 7 of us perfect thank you

Had fish and chips and bacon cheese burger and chips with curry sauce it was delicious cooked to order so lovely and fresh, def worth waiting for.The staff were really nice keep up the good work

Delicious fish and chips, batter still crispy when we got home and very friendly service- big difference to previously.

Called in here by chance on Bank holiday Sunday. We all had cheesy chips and we were all agreed that these were the best chips we can ever remember having! Bit of a wait as all is cooked fresh but wow it's worth it.

First time we have visited since the new owners took over. We were disappointed as the chips were under cooked. Unfortunately this is the case at many chip shops were the chips are not cooked long enough and look white and mushed up together rather than brown. We have visited many times under the previous owners and the chips were great, cooked though, brown and not all stuck together when you open the paper. Not so bad as we won't try it again. Shame really, hope it will improve. Nice fishcake though.

Possibly the best ever fish and chip supper... and I am no stranger to a fish supper!. Bit of a wait, but worth it as they cooked the fish fresh. Chips were outstanding and really crispy. Young team working really well.

This establishment is under new management according to the notice outside. If it does not show improvement I think it will be under new management again. We waited 40 minutes for sausage and chips, granted there was a customer in front of us ordering 8 portions of fish and chips but, it appeared that each order was done as ordered not fitting simpler orders in between. Two people walked out asking for their money back

Excellent cooked to order 2 medium portions of haddock & plus a medium portion of chips for £11.00, Very bust with locals and "visitors". Some i note had phoned forward an order. Friendly staff. Will use again when next in the Dulverton area.

With the new management well in place. The menu has changed dramatically all for the best. The people who do the cooking and serving are very friendly. My and my wife's favourite is there Burger with cheese and Pineapple. Try it

Great fish and chips with lovely service. We waited until 8pm so we missed the tea time rush. Was worth the wait.
