cobleys fish & chip cafe in Torbay

Huge cod so tasty I recon best in Torbay and a lot better value than some of the other ones

Lovely fish and chips. Friendly service, good portions and good prices. Best chippie I've been to!

AWFUL!!!!! NEVER HAD A BURGER AS BAD AS THAT..

Second visit in a month, thought first may be an off day. Second visit still not good. Curry sauce tub is about two table spoons and like water. Chips pale and soggy. Battered sausage was reasonable but a sausage is what it is. Portions far to small and quality down

I found the new prices with new owners a bit steep. However, what can you say-The general living costs have increased. The place was very clean and inviting. I had small cod and small chips as it was just affordable. I think fish and chips is generally over expensive these days and is more of a treat for me. The cost was over £8.00 but the chips were nice, not cold or bity and the cod white and fluffy. Well done! The meal was nice but a bit too expensive for what it is!

this place should be shut down food appaling haven't a clue loads of desent chippy in Torquay never order food here chips like bullets water curry sauce sausage is that what you call it

Great food, all fresh and much better than expected!

Went to Torquay last weekend with family and grabbed some fish and chips. The chips were great, just the right amount of oil, but there was a bit too much salt, so I had to brush some off. The fish was mostly good, but the crust around the edges was too hard to bite into, which was a bit disappointing. The overall taste was okay though. I noticed they didn’t include lemon slices, maybe you have to request those.

What Cobleys used to do right: - Great customer service - No pre-cooking of food - Clean oil producing light coloured batter - The food was always fresh and tasted delicious. What was wrong with Chippies Plaice... - Barely any customer service, the girl was OK but the guy in there didn't even acknowledge me. - Obviously pre-cooked food or not cooked enough. Chips were really soggy and dark in colour, sausages weren't cooked enough. - The oil hadn't been cleaned recently as the batter was dark and greasy. Was an absolute tragedy we have lost Cobleys, only to have a company that don't seem to know how to produce good fish and chips. We used to send all our guests there. We won't be able to do that anymore. I didn't know they had been taken over when I ordered over the phone. When I got there it was empty. I now know why. Will have to find a new place to get our Chippy from. I hope the owners actually read the negative reviews and realise what the issues are.

Nice fish and chips Friendly service

Not same since new owners. Used to be the best now not great. I’ve had worse hence 2stars rather than 1 but really wasn’t great at all 😞

I have used this chippy for years, tonight had haddock chips and mushy peas, was all half the size of previous visits, haddock was tiny and batter not fully cooked. Chips were nice. Mushy peas definitely only one person portion previously would have fed the family. Price increased product not worth the money. Won’t return again. Was extremely quiet I wonder why, always been very busy.

Has recently changed hands and, what used to be a great local chippy, is now poorly run and expensive. The prices have increased but the portions of everything we ordered were much smaller. We also waiting 25 mins to get fish and chips because the staff were giving priority to their online orders rather than the queue of people in the shop. There were only two staff and one of them was visibly sweating profusely whilst serving the food (not very appealing!)

Was a bit dubious after reading some of the negative reviews but thought I would try it now there are new owners and glad I did. We had scampi and chips. Beautiful food cooked well and generous sized portions. Lovely lady served us - very polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend (and I'm very fussy). This is one of the best chip shops I've been to in a long time.

Bit hard to park. But food was lovely.

THIS IS NO COBLEYS!!. The atmosphere as I walked in was cold. Ordered Fish & Chips with a pot of curry sauce. The meal was awful.. grey fish, greasy batter but overcooked ! Chips were dry. The curry sauce was what I can only describe as watered down and bland. WHAT AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND FOOD a far cry from Cobleys. AVOID

I loved this chippy until it got taken over by new people. The food isn't as nice. The portions are significantly smaller, the fish is small and the batter is dry. The chips don't taste fresh. The curry sauce was so watery that as you pulled the chip out there was no curry sauce on it, just water with a few lumps. The curry sauce is less than half of the serving we used to get and it's more expensive. How does that work out?

Wow... what on earth has happened here.... this was my go to chippy for YEARS.... and now having to find somewhere else.. First I go in and ask how big the regular chips are... thought I was asking about the actual chip size... "there all cut different" was pretty much the answer... 🤷‍♀️ second... the chips, they do not taste fresh or tasty... they're pretty tasteless!... I am glad I asked for more S&V tbh, third.. pot of mushy peas.. used to get a good size pot, and for the price that's what you'd expect.... no, no, you get a spoonful, about 2 times smaller than they were previously.. all in all, I think I'll stick to McCains oven chips in future... not a happy customer! Bring back the old owners! 🙏🏻

What has happened here!!! Up until a few weeks ago you couldn’t get any nicer fish and chips in Torquay. Visited today and found the shop messy, all the special posters taken down, unprofessional service and as for the two fish and chips I purchased…. 1. They were considerably more expensive. 2. The chips were soggy and lukewarm. 3 The fish was so small. The batter was soggy and it literally tasted like some fish you can buy in the frozen aisle of a supermarket. I can only guess there has been a change of owners.? I’ve been using this shop since I moved here in 2006 but Unfortunately, I will not be back. I’m now on the look out for a new fish and chip shop in Torquay.

The food is lovely, the chip shop i use when i visit Torquay

very disappointed was my favourite fish and chip shop, but not after today. The portion size is half smaller and doesn't taste as nice as it was a few weeks before, and curry sauce is like water and doesn't taste right

Great fish and chips from the new owners

Used to be the best chippy in Torbay! Now under new management, rude staff, chips nothing to get excited about and prices have gone up! So disappointing and sad

One of the best fish and chips shops in torbay

This is the place to go for fish and chips in Torquay. Really enjoyed it and I will be back.

Besides the friendly service, it was the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. The fish was very fresh and not overly battered, the chips cooked to perfection and not dry. I also had scampi, another 10/10. I can highly recommend Cobleys!!

Lovely battered black pudding xx

First class food ,cleanliness outstanding and staff ever so friendly. Best chippy in Devon

Very nice foods nice and helpful staff Thank you very much

Staff are very helpful and the food is great well worth a visit. I would say it's 5⭐.

I had a steak pie from there and it was terrible. The top was rock hard. I showed my son an it was so hard that I was prodding the top of it with my finger so hard that you could hear my finger hitting the pie but it stayed in tact and didn't break the pie top at all

I have eaten fish and chips all over Torquay, as a regular visitor to the town. The food is absolutely brilliant, prepared fresh and full of flavour. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. And to top it off, the prices are exactly right, not trying to rip you off, like many other establishments in Torquay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food freshly cooked good size portions friendly staff

Who does cooked fresh well you're waking it's a very very clean tidy place understat serve me the young was absolutely spot-on and treated me well I fully recommend

The portions are huge. Worth the money.

Nice chips, but need quality control. Lots of competition nearby, so more effort needed!

The wife Had haddock & chips mysel cod & chips food was stunning the staff were great

Popped in late evening as everywhere else was shut. Very polite staff. Chips were best we’ve had in a long long time

Just picked up 2 lots of chips, got home and realised they are terrible. Sure they are cooked through, but they are white and mushy. Not a single crispy part in there. Just breaking apart picking them up. I've resorted to putting them in the oven to get even a little something out of them.

Excellent fish and chips and very friendly staff. 👍

Was staying in a local b&b , passed this chip shop and now glad we called in ...Lovely cod and chips...generous portions ...reasonably priced served by a lovely lady..

Very good and fast service and you can pre-order over the phone for pickup

We use this place regularly as the food is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Superb small fish and chips x 2 plus 1 pot of curry 10.75 plenty great value and was beautiful

This was the nicest cod and chips I and my husband have ever eaten. The quality was outstanding and the quantity huge ! We were down on holiday from Wales and this was a real treat for a reasonable price !!

I'm sorry to say I do not rate this food.They tasted like they were fried in old oil and the fish that was suppose to be cod was no way cod..it was terrible. My advice to the owners is spend less money on fancy packaging and use the money wisely on fresh fish and clean cooking oil!

Decent fish and chips well cooked and fresh. Dissaponted with the pie and chips. The pie was microwaved. Couldnt we all do.that at home rather then a chippy?. . Good price to for the area. 4 stars would have been 5 but for the pie.

Wonderful tasty food delivered piping hot buy a very polite young man. As a connoisseur of a chip shop, This is one of the best I have ever had! 😊

superb quality, friendly staff, fantastic value for money !

Lovely staff, really love the lady that serves always has time for my dog, the food is good too, only fish bar for me.

Forgot to give us part of our order , food came 15 minutes late.

Beautiful fish and chips in the bay

Great fish and chip meal will use again not too greasy.

Had fish & chips tonight & tried Conley's for a change from our local. Very impressed! Pipping hot perfectly cooked crispy battered fish & great chips. We'll be back.
