Fraser’s provides consistently great fish and chips and the Helston shop is modern and clean. The majority of the packaging is recyclable which is good for the planet. The staff are friendly and helpful and the ability to preorder means that you can select your food choices and desired pick up time and beat the queues. The system works really well.

Went in and was completely shocked, was recommended by a friend but i will definitely not be going back. when i walked in i was the only one that was in at the time yet i was completely ignored. there were employees stood having a conversation about their weekend plans. I waited at least 5 minutes to be served i felt so unwanted as a customer. would definitely rethink you’re staffing because i was not greeted with a smile or a can do attitude.

Not sure what's happened to the gluten free batter. It used to be so good, in fact better than regular batter. On my last 2 visits it has been dry, powdery, very hard and like cake inside. Maybe the recipe has changed but it is far from good now - used to be the best ever. Sorry guys, very disappointed. The staff and service are wonderful though.

Nice Fish & chips, but pricey I’m afraid. Over £12 for a large cod on it’s own is in my opinion extortionate especially if you have a family however you can have regular or small fish

Horrible take away, Double or Tripple cooked chips great way to get chips quick through the frier but if the last fry dont heat them through then you get just warm chips. Mushy peas cold! batter and fish a wired chewable concoction. I rarely leave leave a scrap of my meals I chucked 50% of this

Ok bet you are asking I give high scores for Food, Service, and Atmosphere but overall just a 3 ? It's the parking it really is a ball ache including driving down to the rear parking area as its tight to turn around in ( as it's not a clever idea to reverse out and onto a main road) it's a pity as the staff are excellent and the food is yummy.

I ordered the gluten-free cod and chips and have to say my experience was very good. My experience of restaurants and takeaways offering truly gluten-free has been very hit and miss but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The portion sizes were very good, no different from non-gluten options had by the rest of my family and were also the same price which rarely happens with gluten-free options. There was even an option for gluten-free salt and vinegar! We ordered online and on collection the gluten-free meal was packaged separately and clearly labelled. I always do careful research before eating anywhere and their full allergen list is available too. Excellent service and would definitely recommend.

Very disappointed with my fish and chips from here tonight. I ordered a gluten free fish and chips and when I opened the box I was very disappointed with the size of the piece of fish. It was so small and to charge £8:95 for it, was an absolute rip off in my opinion. My mate had a normal piece of fish which was also cod,and his piece was alot bigger. Gluten free fish always seems to be smaller for some reason. Also could do with putting more chips into the box. £12:50 for fish and chips. Very pricey for a poor meal.

What a brilliant Fish and Chip shop. We were staying at a local Parkdean Holiday park and I wanted to get tea for myself and 3 others, one of whom in Gluten intolerant. After searching online (not easy here, mobile broadband is patchy at best) and driving about a bit we discovered Frazers. The chap behind the counter couldn't have been more helpful. The ordering via touchscreen was brilliant and the food both delicious and reasonably priced. This place was brilliant! If I'm down here again which I hope to be, I shall definitely be coming back.

What a joke, should think about being in another business. £6 for two small portions of chips that when we got home less than half a mile away were nearly cold and hard. This was at 5.30pm in the afternoon which should have been a busy period. All I can say is that if this is the wonderful standard that they portray then fish and chips will become a thing of the past. Great fish and chips from the Cornish coast? Dont make me laugh!!

The food has always been good, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. It is a takeaway restaurant, so difficult for me to rate on atmosphere but the waiting area is very large so people are able to spread out. The one thing is that the price is quite high compared to some similar places we have visited, but we are aware of the rising costs of production e.g. electricity, food sourcing, the geographic area, etc

Definitely don’t recommend. Very over priced for what it is. If they spend less money on doing there shop up too look nice and spend more on the quality of food. They said it’s locally caught, to me it’s just a standard over priced fish and chips and won’t be returning. Always been a strong believer if I don’t mind paying if it’s good, but this is bog standard. Go else where

These are the most expensive fish and chips I’ve ever bought globally at £50, however they were very good. The batter was crispy and fish chunky and moist. The chips home cut and cooked to perfection. The pea fritter could have done with a little salt but we’re all the same very good and the curry sauce was to die for! Will need to save up to treat ourselves again one day.
