Francines in Plymouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good portions, good chips and good value. Gluten free on a Monday.

Really nice fish and chips the small fish is a big fish

All I will say is the food wasn't bad but the man who took my order was a miserable unhappy employee. Won't use this place again due to the customer service experience. I know it's a chippy but the one I used to use I enjoyed going there as their customer service was great.

Fantastic Fish & Chips, & great value too !

We had pie , chips and curry sauce tonight. It was terrible. The chips were overcooked and hard like they had been re cooked from day before. I will not be wasting my money again.

😍 Hot chilli kebab! That was a proper spicy, burning flavour. Thank you!

Banging fish and chips 🤤 one of the best in Plymouth

Large order for 7 adults all food cooked well and order spot on.large portion sizes friendly staff

Great fish and chips another chippy that does not sell potatoe fritters but still worth a visit

Best fish and chips takeaway in Plymouth.

Not as good as it used to be, batter seems to be totally different on the fish. Still good but not great like before.

Great tasty food and really good portions. 😋😁

Nice fish and chips,the spam fritter was huge! Good OAP deals for us carers,my customer really enjoyed hers ,I'm sure I'll be back again.

Amazing quality and huge portion size! Perfect crispy batter and fresh cooked moist and tender cod with golden chips. Busy every time I go there and you don't have to wait too long. They do telephone orders. Well done team - you provide a wonderful service to Plymouth.

Hot golden crispy batter nice fish great chips.trust.i be done 30+ yrs catering and this chippy dinner was awesome

The best fish and chips in Plymouth in my opinion and generous portions. Never been disappointed with anything we have bought from there. It gets busy but you can't fault the service.

In a class of it's own ... the best of the best.

Kebabs used to be tasty, but I believe they have changed the meat which isn’t the best quality, spicy spuds are expensive for the amount you receive, and taste less I

Gorgeous fish, great chips ..... make sure you're hungry because the portions are HUGE!

I have not had fish and chips for a long time, Francine’s did an excellent job, the fish was made to order and very chunky, the chips were cooked to perfection, we had curry sauce which was very good. The staff were very friendly and the shop was immaculately clean. Well done Team, we shall return 👏

Thursday evening and the shop was very busy, good F&C's, good portions but found them quite expensive at £11.55 for a large portion.

Francine's is one of the best in Plymouth , nice hot food and good service , when you see the amount of people there day Lee getting a take away , you will see how good they are , give them a try , thanks .

Excellent food, cooked fresh with very friendly staff at very reasonable prices.

As a cumulative total of my experiences with this store, hoo boy is there history. Local chippy, very close to me, but has often been considered a last resort for the ol fish and chips if at all. Multiple times has my entire family ended up with some- admittedly rather mild -food poisoning from here, the prices are almost 50% higher than my normal chippy... Over half an hour away, and sometimes the food is actually delicious. Quite frankly the various quality and ludicrous prices are why I honestly avoid this like the plague. *I see your £3.70 ish price tag on a large chips, i get just as much from my normal choice for like £2.60* #disclaimer: all the numbers and math are estimates and vague memories, and are not going to be 100% perfectly accurate, but are as accurate as I can remember them being. Yes, I would consider finding a better or cheaper alternative if you can make the trip if i were any of you. Buying anything from here let's them justify the sky high prices.

Great and friendly staff has been for years and food is brilliant all collect food fast service

In my opinion the best fish and chips in plymouth and the price for your portion is good value

Fantastic fish and chips, freshly cooked ,crispy and delicious

Finished work late, so lazy tea. Thankyou Francines for delicious fish & chips and delightful service ♡

Great food, great portion sizes, highly recommended!

Came in on a game day, so I understand it was really busy so perhaps people are trying to cook things quickly. We had ordered a couple portions of chips, spuds, and a chicken kebab. When we got home everything was okay, but the chicken in the kebab was clearly undercooked. I called just to let them know really, I wasn’t going back out so wasn’t looking for a replacement. I was worried by the managers response - he explained that chicken can “sometimes be pink, but is cooked.” I explained I had seen undercooked chicken before, this definitely was that, and that I could provide photos. The manager was very clear that sometimes their chicken kebab meat, and their southern fried chicken comes out pink, but it is cooked. I asked if the chicken is probed and he explained they don’t probe the meat served. It was just concerning that even after I could provide proof of undercooked meat, they didn’t take it seriously at all.

Best fish and chips I've had in ages

A large portion of chips is enough for 3 people. Or maybe that is a challenge for you. Great haddock.

Best fish and chips I ever had! Can't find any faults with this chippy friendly staff, excellent customer service! Will be back soon.

Food as alway's excellent 👌 😋 👍🏻

Superb fish and chips, generous helpings and the shop is pristine. I haven't rated the 'Atmosphere' highly as this isn't a restaurant, but the staff are always welcoming and efficient. Food is always fresh and tasty.

Very good, large portions of fish and chips.

Went there today chips were rank lid fell off curry sauce leaked everywhere sausage was just average

Great service and staff working are very friendly. The food was great, tasty and fresh I would recommend highly to anyone wanting some chips

As per normal you can't beat the fish at Francines. Best in Plymouth

Had t wait too long and wasn't busy

Food quality not great. Fish was good. Chips, spicy potatoes and mushy peas of low standard. Chips soggy, spicy potatoes had a weird earl grey tea like taste, mushy peas just not great. Over priced for quality. Not cooked in beef dripping like the Francines in Newquay or St Austell, which are significantly better. Staff were reasonably polite.

Always good service. Prices much higher now. Note - 1 large portion of chips weighs about a kilo and would feed a family of 5!

Nearly there with the food, I had cod n chips & chips with savaloy & curry sauce. A bit to much on the greasy side for my taste on the chips, on the plus side large chip portion. And only other negative £19, I know everything is very pricey at the moment but just a little steep.

Good honest Fish and Chips served very efficiently by a room full of rapid cooks and assistants and counter staff.. All very friendly and smiles. Very fast turnaround and the portions are generous.

Didn't go into the shop but the food was 1st class. Will definitely be visiting again😋

Lovely fish and chips, every time

Been going here for years, place has an amazing atmosphere and the service is out of this world! Food is amazing and has big portions of chips! Deffo recommend.

Great chippy, good portions, great selection of food on menu.

Been going to Francines many years , staff very polite . Food is always good quality and plenty of it . Priced getting a little steep but every where is the same ,still godd value for money . Will keep definitely keep going back

Best fish and chips in Plymouth

Always Fantastic Fish and Chips 🍟

Appsaloutly beautiful food. Well worth a visit

Every time my husband get fish chips the food is fantastic we recommend francines to all our friends and family.

Atmosphere not really relevant but fab food and great service

Working away in Plymouth this weekend from Birmingham. Thought I’d try this place out, food was served fresh and it tastes fresh. The had a promotion on which they offered me, after a large fish and chips I can barely move so I refused the promotion.,Thank you for the hospitality and lovely food.

Apart from the oil in the batter it was lovely this was how first time it won't be how last just not fish

Absolutely outstanding F&C. Yes it's more expensive than others but your paying for quality. Can get very busy but Service is very quick.

My daughter's favourite chips. Who am I to argue?

One of the nicest fish and chips we had. The portions are very good, service is quick and organised. They have quiet a big waiting area and their opening hours are brill. The fish is very crunchy and good portion of chips. I recommend this place, looks very clean as well.

I have been an inconsistent visitor to Francine's since moving to the area, as it is highly recommended in Plymouth. However, my experiences have been mixed. On some occasions, the food has been fantastic and I have been thoroughly impressed. However, the quality has been lacking most of the time. One of my biggest disappointments has been the chips. They often seem to be undercooked, lacking the crispy texture that I prefer. Additionally, I have also been disappointed with the battered sausages that I order. They should be crunchy but mine are constantly soft and soggy. That being said, the service has always been friendly and prompt, and the prices are reasonable. In conclusion, my experiences have been hit or miss but for most people it's a favourite. Based on my experience, I don't normally recommend it anymore. The service is friendly and the price is reasonable but it's not consistent in the food quality.

Amazing as always and value for money 💰

Best fish and chips in Plymouth. Definitely use them again.

Top chips; clean, hot fat and generous portions

Fantastic! 10 minutes. Large portion size, wrapped in paper! Lovely staff. Will be back!!

Great food. Great service and not very far away from where we live which is ideal cos I can walk it if necessary. Good service. Good smiles from staff

Most delicious chippy in Plymouth Love to come back for their Fisch and chips

Best fish and chips in plymouth and value for money

Amazing food , hot tasty and value for money , fabulous service highly recommended 👌

Lovely big protions. Tasty food aswell. Mmm

Same place, same good food, quick and friendly

Best chip shop around, portions are very generous, and excellent food.

Lovely sausage made me scream also the secret white sausage was great.

Great service friendly staff and lovely food would highly recommend

Great food and large portions. The only fish and chip shop I'd use in the area

They fry chips in the same oil as squid 🦑 🤢 I know because I asked. We ordered chips. Waited about 15 minutes and they were ready. I was looking at the menu and saw the word “squid”. My brother asked me as a joke “I wonder if they use the same oil to fry chips as squid.” I thought “let me ask them for my own peace of mind”. So I asked them and they said “yes, we use the same oil to fry everything”. I was shocked, I thought they had same oil for meats and separate for chips. Was told nothing could be done about it and that I should have asked BEFORE ordering. So vegetarian/vegan not friendly ❌ Threw the chips away 🥴🤷‍♀️

Waited half an hour for food and when I got it the fish batter was tough and chewy.

End of term lunchtime treat. A fish and chip picnic in Central Park. Very happy people...

Still the best chipper on the west side of the city. non soggy, done as ordered, friendly people

Brilliant food ,freshly cooked and the staff are always happy and welcome you with a smile

The biggest portion of chips ever!!! Great quality food too

Best chippy around, fantastic service and fab food. What more could you ask for?

Service was absolutely appalling food was disgusting 🤢 no taste to the cod or battered sausages chips had no taste very over priced & very greasy WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE COMING BACK!!!! £7.45 for an OAP COD & chips absolutely disgusting!!?

Haddock and Chips £10.45 Price is getting crazy. Soggy batter requires improvement, it should be crispy. Otherwise okay.

Decided to have fish and chips yesterday as my Dad was coming down to visit over the bank holiday. He was very impressed and thought it was the best fish and chips he'd had in a long time.

Lovely food, as always. Telephone orders taken, very efficient and food ready when you arrive. Regular favorite.

Prices have gone up and kebab meat was cold NOT GOOD

Oh my word very popular may have to wait but we'll worth it fantastic choices food is cooked to order you won't be disappointed

Awesome food, cooked fresh to order, fish are amazing. Kebabs are tasty and plentiful.. staff are friendly.. always busy but worth the wait.

Terrible food from what used to be the best in Plymouth. Gone downhill massively since they started doing kebabs

I liked coming here and getting my fish and chips. They were a decent size and you can get kebabs as well. You can help yourself to drinks but you have to pay. Parking was usually good in most cases The chips were of good quality as was the fish

Good but super busy. Food ok, not the best.

Excellent quality fish and unbeatable chips. Large chips can feed 3-4 easy. Efficient staff and care a great deal that you are happy with your meal and it's made to their high standards. Curry Sauce is nice, reasonably priced and quite strong but not overpowering. Comes highly recommended.

Fresh cooked large Cod and chips for £8:00 Can't go wrong for the price and the quality was top notch. Bit of a way to travel for a takeaway for me but worth it. Very clean premises with plenty of staff to deal with the abundance of customers.

Best fish & chips in Plymouth .

We’ve been calling for 1 hour now and still no one has picked up the phone however the food does taste good

Absolutely first class as always. Never any complaints

Lovely treat occaisionally because heart issues , lovely people very nice and curteous .

Tried cod and chips today good size portion they have a selection of food for all people, give them a try

Extremely disappointed, the chips were barely edible so crunchy and tasteless. The chips actually hurt the inside of my mouth. The spicy spuds were still hard in the middle. The curry sauce lids were not put on properly so they leaked. The only good bits were the portion sizes, however a little too big for us, and the fish was actually nice. That being said I will not be back.

Always good size portions, excellent quality.
