David's Fish & Chip Shop in Torbay

This restaurant was close to where we were staying, so chose this after walking our dogs and it was an inspired choice. The food was excellent. Service a little slow due to the volume of on line orders being collected, but the food was piping hot and worth the wait

They messed up my order ! The server took my order at the door , I pointed out what I wanted 1x plain small cod on its own , & 1x large cod & chips as 1 . £30. My buzzer went & collected a small cod & chips !!!???? . No way , sort your stupid system out . Got my money back & went to doughys across the road for half the price, half the wait & the order was correct , thank you doughys . I'm a brixham local bty .

I was overall quite disappointed with my fish and chips. Primarily because the cod I ordered hadn't been cooked well enough. Instead of flaking off under the batter it was just a lump of poorly cooked cod. The chips were lovely though as were the staff.

We visit Brixham almost every month, and have take-away fish and chips each time. We have tried three other takeaways / restaurants in the town, and this is by far our favourite. The staff are pleasant and welcoming, and the fish and chips are lovely and fresh : beautifully cooked to order, and the fish is perfect, white and a decent size. No complaints so far and look we forward to visiting again.

Excellent fish and chips, I say the best in brixham, have it most wkends, mark,, would recommend to anyone living in brixham or holiday people,,,

Worst fish and chips yet. Haven’t been there for years as the last time we went it was horrendous. Thought we’d try it again and was even worse. Never again I’m afraid. Was very disappointed as normally you get good reviews but I couldn’t see what the fuss was about. Will be trying somewhere else - which they won’t over cook the fish and the chips won’t be tasteless.

Tried for the first time ...lovely fresh hot fish and chips, delicious will definitely have again and recommend to friends and family

I'm not usually a massive fan of fish and chips but these were absolutely delicious! Cooked fresh , friendly service, can't recommend highly enough!

Well worth the walk away from the town, the fish (locally caught hake) was absolutely amazing as were the chips. My love of fish and chips has returned thanks to Davids

Spotted the shop on passing, went in, friendly greeting, and we ordered the fish - cod. It was freshly cooked for us, and have got to say that it was the best fish that we have had from anywhere. Would definitely recommend, and will be back any time that we are visiting the area again.

Decided to try this place out based on glowing reviews and was not disappointed. Ordered online via the website and went and collected best fish and chips as a family we have ever had. Wished we lived closer to the area because this was seriously good.

Really good quality fish and chips. We had 6 lots delivered in boxes. Food arrived on time delivered by a friendly driver. All hot and freshly cooked. Fish was excellent quality with a tasty, crisp batter. Chips were chunky and definitely still crisp. Will definitely be back. Probably the fish and chips in Brixham

This chippy was fishtastic!!!, lovely staff , what a great meal. We'll be back again real soon! Fiona, Jim and Spud

Brought some chips and they were really greasy honestly had to Chuck them away like the worst chips I’ve ever brought wouldnt of even gave them to the seagulls will not be coming back

So good we had it 2 nights on the trot 😂🥳 Best chippy I think I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few! Curry sauce a must, and the onion rings too!

Superb fish and chips at a good price 15 inch cod with chips and curry sauce . Just lovely . Parking is anywhere you can park nearby so watch out for the waste of time traffic wardens

We had been recommended to try David's. We were not disappointed. Quick service and fresh and tasty food. Only drawback is parking - or lack of. I did pull up in double yellows while Mrs D went into the shop - not too much of a problem on a November evening, but perhaps not so good in high season.

Best place for takeaway in Brixham. It is decently priced and portion sizes are good. Everytime I ask for some extra sauce they are happy to do it 10/10 customer service

Recommended by the owner of our holiday home. We were not disappointed. The cod was fresh and meaty with crisp batter. The chips were great and the mushy peas were fab. Not at all greasy and very hot.

After seeing the fanatic reviews thought we would give it a try on our first night of our holiday. Sad to say we were very disappinted. The chips were short sharp bits and caught on our throats and tasted like they had been kept warm. The fish I'm afraid was dry and a small portion and the cost of a small tub of mushy peas was extortionate at £1.80. I did however enjoy my Cornish Pasty. Rarely I give a bad review but I'm afraid I just cannot give David's a good review.

Great system for ordering and very welcoming and friendly staff. Sean was especially helpful, suggesting we try the Hake, which was fresh that day. The fish, batter, chips and mushy peas were delicious, the best we have ever had! Next time we are visiting, we’ll be back 😊

From the moment you walk in and your order is taken to be COOKED TO ORDER the whole process is excellent. Your handed an alarm that goes off when they start to cok the food. The fish is literally out of the frier, the chips...

Saw this chippy while passing stopped and bought cod and chips and they do my favourite mushy pea fritter all was cooked to order was the best chippy I've had while holidaying in Paignton highly recommend lovely staff very pleasant

We tried to order from another local fish shop but they were closed Monday’s so we tried David’s. Wow wow wow! These fish & chips were superb. The fish was chunky & the batter crispy without any oiliness. The chips were perfection; crispy on the...

Was taken here by my daughters in laws as we all got fish and chips to eat, the chips are made from new potatoes oh my goodness , they are scrumptious. The fish is as white as snow . Please give this place a try...

After a 5 hour journey I found this fish and chip take away excent and served local fish at a very reasonable price. This is the best F/C I had for some time

We had 2 amazing fish and chip meals during our stay here, and what made them even more special was that I am a coeliac and they do gf without batting an eyelid. So pleased and would definitely recommend!

Definitely worth the top 50 fish and chip shop placing in the UK! Lovely chips, fresh and tasty. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Ordering online in advance was simple and the food was ready on time. Can’t fault it, and would recommend anyone...

Not the best fish batter, was a bit soggy and stuck to chips in tray was looking forward to it as heard good reviews, would probably have again but not in a rush

I did bother and I was not disappointed!! My Cod and Chips were first class both times I visited. I would not hesitate to recommend this Chippy.

Not much to say other than don't bother as you will be disappointed, if your ever in Leicester try Gypsy Lane chip shop as thats what fish and chips should be like.

We have twice now had gluten free fish and chips from Davids and they have been excellent both times. Batter on the fish was excellent and very chunky fresh fish. Chips were crispy and tasty. Definitely the best we have had anywhere so far on...

We have heard good reviews so thought we would try it out. I honestly don’t know why people rave about them. The chips looked like they had been sat in oil. They were very greasy and soggy. They also had a smell with them like...

Our family had a takeaway here on recommendation. We live nearby so popped in and were not disappointed. There is often a queue but it serves fairly quickly. Lovely fresh cod and chips and the right portion for regular.

It is tough to compete in a fishing town..so impressed....choice of fresh fish and..was moved off my usual choice to try sole..amazing..fresh crispy light batter..good when you see local fishermen lining up to queue and the chips,,.not some microwaved .....yum yum

Ordered on line ,no problems very easy .Walked in staff very welcoming .Waited only a few minutes for fresh chips all bagged up ,and sent off with a cheery smile Best fish and chips in Brixham .Very tasty .Thoroughly recommend the haddock ,but all the...

Still the best chippy in Brixham, becoming a bit too regular on a Friday night 😁 but what can l do it's delicious and the cat loves her share of the lovely white cod. 🐱

Visited here on Sunday evening and our family's order of cod, chips and mushy peas was cooked fresh to order. The food was piping hot and very tasty, the fish was particularly tasty and the portions of chips more than generous. Would definitely recommend David's...

Cannot keep away from this chippy. Huge meaty fresh cod, delicious chips and mushy peas. Recommended.

Tried this place after looking on trip advisor and a leaflet in our apartment, picked food up at best average, chips were Luke warm and peas pinged in the microwave, after having fish and chips in the harbour a few nights before from Brixham fish...

Always get our fish and chips from here and it’s always excellent but tonight’s were spectacular, keep up the great work guys.

For a long time we have been hearing how good David's fish and chips are. We live very close to Fishianadoes, so David's has never gotten a look in. Today we gave them a go and honestly have no idea what the fuss is about....

The fish was lovely but the chips were awful. They were soggy and had so many eyes and black bits in them and were so greasy it has put me off of ever going back there. Always had good write ups for this place which...

The best fish and chips I have ever had!! Cannot recommend enough! Will always come here when visiting Brixham!! Friendly staff & excellent quality food

Large cod and chips with mushy peas absolutely perfect. Very tasty. Booked online and was ready for collection on time.

Perfectly battered cod, delicious chips. Can't get any better than that! Took our lunch down by the sea and stayed perfectly warm. Perfect lunch. Well done davids!

First review post lockdown,David’s aren’t shouting this,but only chippy in s.west to win chippy of the year.and good reason,up against stiff competition from Yorkshire..home delivery family meal .good value,locals first choice,I think,prompt,efficient service online,curry sauce lovely,fish,chips,just right.good portions,and specials every month.what’s not to like,thanks David’s.

Plentiful thick delicious cod perfect chips, proper mushy peas. Hot and prompt delivery. Best in the Bay.

We are staying at Wall Park touring site and fancied some fish ‘n’ chips. We used David’s book and delivery service. My husband had the haddock and chips, and I had the cod and chips. Both were absolutely delicious, the fish and chips were cooked...

Yet again better than the chippy back home not being greedy but could eat there everyday Keep it up Friendly staff Great choice

found this last year and loved them so again visited them this year whilst staying locally ,blimey they are lovely better than what we get back home the fish was light and tasty and the rest of the menu was great. friendly staff good selection...

Great food, friendly staff, phone your order in service(but be quick!) We've been back many times and it's been great every time

I left a glowing review about 2 years ago and I hoped that ithe food would be as good as i recalled ...so I am glad to say that this fish and chip shop was as exceas ever. The fish was beautifully cooked and fresh and the chips were 10 out of 10, and they were really hot and freshly cooked. The staff really nice too.

We had searched for the best rated fish and chips to visit in brixham - between here and simply fish ... so happy we went here!!It was slightly pricey for fish and chips but when you get quality im not going to complain! The batter was lovely and crispy and very tasty, we had a 13oz fish which is worth every penny!

Only went to David's because Afishiando's were closed. Server seemed a bit sour-faced. Chips were a bit greasy and the portions were tiny. I get that there is a regular and large size, but the regular size was measly, for 2.25 expect a little more (I seem to recall a saying cheap as chips).Lesson learnt. If Afishiando is not open, I won't bother next me.

Excellent fish and chips. Beautiful cod & wonderfully fresh. Our order was taken outside & the food was also brought to us - which is great for me specially during these uncertain times. One of the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten... & trust me I am very fussy especially with fish

Blimey! Fantastic! Couldn’t ask for better . They even do Cod Roe . Perfect . If only this place nearer to Surrey.

Ordered online for delivery at 1845 driver turned up at 1846 piping hot food and a local newspaper included brilliant food would certainly use again well done David’s

After researching a good chippy, came across David’s and as it’s not in the centre it was easy to park up and take back to our lodge. Lovely chips not soggy and beautiful white cod. My husband had Hake and said it was one of the best. Well organised re social distancing.

On a very busy Saturday summer evening, we had fish and chips delivered for 5 people, very friendly service and prompt delivery.Fish and chips were fresh, delicious, nice crispy batter and golden chips, good value for the money, would certainly use them again

Fresh fish always and well cooked chips means that you always get some of the best fish and chips in the south west, not just Brixham.

Friendly staff. Lovely tasting fish. My husband had the large cod and wasn't disappointed - it was massive and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Tasty mushy peas too. Thank you.

always good food from Davids i have never had a bad food from them , you know what you are getting every time unlike others around which is hit and miss

Family box,great value ,delivered,fish,freshly cooked,batter A1,light,golden,chips A1,big portions,curry sauce,lovely,daves been going for years,imho currently best takeaway in brixham.,for value,reliability,thanks

Always used David's and have always found the quality of their fish is brilliant.The staff are always very friendly and I often use the telephone ordering and have found it very easy to use and is very quick. The only thing that I would say is that if you turn up for your meal and the shop is busy ,you seem to join a queue which defeats the ordering timing . Perhaps one could have a separate queue for ordered meals at the preordered time ?Scott and staff are brilliant and the food is very fresh and well cooked . I don,t think that over the past 15 years we have never had a bad meal .Well done ,hopefully you will be open soon .

I rung an order through on the Friday night and it was all ready for the collection time on Saturday. The fish is fresh and with the chips beautifully cooked. All the staff are friendly and courteous. Always use David's, as is the best in Brixham.

Super friendly staff and good quality takeaway. By far the best in Brixham and much better than the other two high profile seafood eateries. Give them a miss as it's a waste of money. This is the best and it is consistent.

I pre-ordered via email for around twenty people on a flying visit to Brixham this weekend. From our first communication Scott at David's went out of his way to be helpful and accommodating. Our food was all ready at the prearranged time (before the shop was even open that day), each individually wrapped and named for my ease and all tasted fantastic. Ten out of ten all round - we all highly recommend!

We spent a wonderful week over New Year in Brixham, it was our first visit to the town. We ate in most nights but decided to treat ourselves to fish and chips on Friday night, after reading the reviews we decided on David’s. All I can say is WOW, the fish and chips were absolutely delicious, the fish was the freshest I’ve tasted and the chips were perfectly cooked. The price was very reasonable especially considering the quality and the lady who served me was warm and friendly.I’m only sorry we live 450 miles away......We have already booked to come back next New Year and will be heading straight to David’s

It was new year we were in Brixham and decided to go for fish and chips, I have to say they were blooming marvelous,I would definitely go again, I can't hold my hand on my heart and say they were the best in town as we were only there for a week but the other chippies will have to go some to beat these, lovely chips and a tasty big fish. Don't chance anywhere else just go here you won't be disappointed.

Enjoyed the food and it was the best we had in Brixham. But the standard generally was much lower in Brixham then we've experienced across Cornwall.

Best place for your takeaway food. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. You can phone and place your order which saves on waiting time. Staff and owner are very friendly.

Great staff , very friendly . Food is great quality and the prices are amazing for a seaside town . Fresh locally sourced produce with great daily deals and huge portions highly recommend

Ordered food for 6.When got home the food was still hot..We all said our food was of a good standard and delicious.Will visit again

best fish and chips in brixham varied menu, value for money, ample portions ,friendly service with a smile

We have recently returned from another stay in Brixham where we have made a good habit of enjoying fish on two days, one 'proper' sit-down meal in a restaurant, and on another day also a good old takeaway fish and chips from David's, which is one of the highlights of our visit. The staff here are always cheery, and the gluten free fish and chips superb. Many thanks.

My wife and I were recommended this chip shop by her brother as he lives in the area. We got here just before it opened. Just as well we were second in the queue as it got busy after we ordered. This is obviously a popular chippy. Our fish and chips were cooked fresh and we didn’t have to wait too long for it. It was all tasty and the batter was good. We will certainly come here again when we are staying in the area.

Best chippy in Brixham. Well recommended, Always hot and tasty and great value, Can get quite busy but that just shows how popular it is.

Best Fish and Chips we have had in Brixham. It's been too long since we have had a takeaway from David's. But after tonight's amazing takeaway we will definitely be a regular customer. Excellent food and excellent service.

David's fish and Chip shop has done it again.

A good menu and choice of food. Standards are high and maintained that way. The staff are always friendly and cheerful.

Been working in Brixham & off course Friday can't resist getting fish n chips.

Good quality fish and chips, and a tasty veggie burger to boot. This place was excellent value for money. My only moan was that despite doing a good range of pies, there was no cheese & onion, making the veggie burger the only vegetarian option.

Lots of competition in the town, but this is the place we always head for. Freshly cooked Haddock is the best in Brixham, chips are always fresh and tasty and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Mandy who served us was very cheerful and efficient. A short walk from the town centre but well worth it, make the effort, you certainly won't be disappointed. Many thanks to you all, we'll be back

Was expecting a lot better than we got, small portions soggy batter hard chips it didn't live up to all the good reviews luckily we are here on holiday so we don't have to eat here again, we've had fish and chips from brixham fish on the quay and they were fantastic

Probably the best takeaway fish and chips in the area friendly staff large portions opbut lovely fresh fish. Definitely worth a little walk from the town but well worth it, even if you just visiting Brixham get away from the tourist rubbish and enjoy the best highly recommended

We had the best fish and chips ever from here twice during our holiday. Plenty of choice on the menu. The cod we had tasted fresh and was cooked to order. It's best to ring in advance as it gets very busy at popular times. Just outside main town or harbour so slightly easier to park. Highly recommend.

They can’t even cook chips properly, CHIPS... very disappointed ruined my day out, went in to the restaurant expected fresh and the chips were soggy and almost cold, It defeated the very reason to go to a fish and chop restaurant...

nice old fashioned chippy, lovely fresh chips, well priced and good sized portions for the price..nice and clean looking

We visited this chip shop less than a week ago, the haddock was tasty although a bit greasy, the chips were only average as was the scampi but the mushy peas were awful, very watery and tasteless and they were warmed in the microwave as was the curry and they were both spilling over in the microwave, not very good organisation either

Fish and chips have been our great food, and living in Brixham we have tried most shops, but keep coming back for David’s. It’s a locals secret unlike the very obvious shops in the centre. Felt it was time to leave a well deserved review.

Probably the best takeaway fish and chips in the area friendly staff large portions but lovely fresh fish. Definitely worth a little walk from the town but well worth it, even if you just visiting Brixham get away from the tourist rubbish and enjoy the best highly recommended

Cod and chips is very tasty here, freshly cooked, and a light batter. Wide ranging menu, and friendly staff. Go here if you're after fish and chips in Brixham!

This is excellent fish and chips and cooked when you order so be prepared for a short wait - but it’s definitely worth it.

Best in the area and the locals choice.Friencl staff and great food.The fish is delicious and the chips ars crisp. I would definately go there again and would recommend it. Fab!!!

We visited David's on the back of the reviews everywhere for GF chips as I am Coeliac. We weren't disappointed. We turned up about 15 minutes before closing lunchtime, half expecting to be too late for GF chips to be fried, and quite prepared to come back when they re-opened for the evening. However, they were perfectly happy to fry my GF chips and they were delicious. I had a pot of baked beans with them since I am also vegetarian so no fish. My chips came in a box marked GF and everything was done separately as all other reviewers have commented on. My friend had normal chips and a sausage and was equally impressed.

Having been recommended to me I had to try for myself and what a great choice I made. The fish & chips were cooked to order so was really hot and fresh when I got to eat them and the portions were real value for money

Superb fish and chips at a good price 15 inch cod with chips and curry sauce . Just lovely . Parking is anywhere you can park nearby so watch out for the waste of time traffic wardens

Me and my family were here for the weekend, saw that David’s did gluten free (I’m coeliac) the gentleman over the phone was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. The whole family ended up ordering from here. It’s nice to have somewhere that the staff have an amazing understanding of Coeliacs disease. Would recommended to anyone, gluten free or not. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the fantastic service tonight.

This is one of those rare fish and chip shops that offer a varied and good gluten free menu. In fact the gluten free is much better than the 'normal' fish and chips. Best to pre-order gluten free as they use a dedicated fryer and it may need to be heated up. Highly recommended. Only downside is the limited parking ion the road outside
