Still the best, freshest, tastiest fish & chips available anywhere. Been enjoying Jackson’s for around two decades now and, while we enjoy others elsewhere too (we live in Wiltshire so not close enough to enjoy it as often as we’d like) we still unanimously agree that nothing else comes close. Great takeaway but sooo much better & fresher in the dining room. Another perfect fish & chips tonight (& home made tartar sauce, best mushy peas, incredible curry sauce & amazing vinegar) Already looking forward to our next opportunity, especially to dine in.

I've been here a few times with my parents, & the fish & chips have been great. It's good to have the option of a smaller portion, which was spot on!

One of, if not the best fish and chips in Devon. Fresh and always perfectly cooked (which seems to be a struggle for most places)

We had a take away tonight and it was awful. The batter wasn't cooked and was wet and soggy and the fish tasted stale. We've had take aways before and it's always been good. We won't be coming back which is a shame as I always tell people how good it is here. Such a disappointing treat for the kids as we couldn't eat it and now I'm having to cook them something!

Was passing through and found this gem on google maps. Tucked in behind a fishmonger of the same name; I thought to myself - that bodes well! My cod and chips was cooked fresh to order and the staff are friendly and have an efficient system going on. The fish - was without a doubt the nicest bit of cod I’ve ever had in my life. It was perfectly cooked, big flaky chunks of white fish in a light and crispy (not too oily) batter. My only regret was not buying a large portion. 100% will be going back for more. Must be the best place to get food in Newton Abbot, and the price was spot on as well.

Saw the good reviews so decided to give it a go.. Shop is clean but the haddock and chips was so bland and the curry sauce is so bland, watered down and runny. I was very disappointed that night after spending that much for it..

I am a taxi driver. Jacksons is Best in Town. Crispy very thin butter. Great service. I drive there with three old ladies with young heart ( 82-96 years old) every Thursday and I got myself fish and chips every now and then. Very high standart every time. Staff always smiles, very helpful. Assists elderly customers to the car safely. True Gem. Thank you Jacksons.

Avoid unless you're already a regular. I want to believe that this is a fantastic small Independent business, supporting the community. The kind that we were all very happy to help during the lockdown. I've been there before and the food is good however the customer service definitely needs work. I passed by after a very long day of travel and they told me that I could go away and get a drink and call in my order. As long as there was 10 minutes advance notice the food would be ready. When I called 20 minutes later I was suddenly told that the wait was more than half an hour. So I walked over again and asked them for whatever they had ready. They told me that was nothing available. When I asked them about the three pieces of fish behind the counter that they weren't wrapping up, they said that those were for other customers. I guess they have a two-tier system, where regulars get priority and everybody else is disappointed. I went elsewhere. If you're considering taking a chance on Jackson's, be warned. And for the owners, repeat business isn't something you can take for granted, it needs to be earned.

Ordered the daily special and were not disappointed. Two pieces of fish...Pollock and Lemon Sole. All fish cooked to perfection, lovely moist large flakes of fish and light batter. The chips were lovely too. Staff were polite, attentive and very helpful. Ordered lattes which tasted great, the only negative was that the lattes were supplied in a small teacup and saucer, so expensive for what you got, they should really have been in larger cups......Overall though, it was an excellent experience and great food and we would definitely return.

Simply the best fish and chips. Between us we had cod n chips, haddock n chips and lemon sole (with rice cones) n chips. We’d never heard of ‘rice cones’ but it was an almost batter free coating. Wonderful cod and chips. Light batter, moist fresh fish. Chips are perfection. Well worth the 64mile round trip. And the service was excellent; friendly, helpful waiting staff…with a cracking sense of humour. Thank you

My 5 star rating has not changed from last time. Jackson's are well worth a visit. The monkfish was gorgeous and the so was the cod. We drive a 54mile round trip so that says it all. The batter is so light and very similar to tempura. Without having any chips I had room for dessert, pineapple fritters and ice cream. I was in heaven. A shout-out to Megan my apologies for last time and thank you for serving us today. You're a star.

Absolutely delicious ,best fish and chips I’ve had in ages. Discovered Jackson’s yesterday and what a find. Cooked to order the haddock was succulent and sweet with super crispy batter, also traditional chips rather than the frozen that most places do. They have fishmonger business alongside the chippy so won’t get fresher fish. Really friendly service as well. Definitely looking forward to next visit.

Fish was small for a normal fish and could not eat the chips. It's not worth the cost that we were charged. Place to avoid. If you don't manage to park on the main street, it is a bit of a walk from the pedestrian area.

This is the second time we’ve ordered from Jacksons. The first time we ordered 2 cod and chips. We both enjoyed this. The chips and batter was very tasty and the cod was very white. Yesterday I went for cod and chips and my husband had plaice and chips. My cod was tasteless, but more alarmingly my husbands plaice was coloured pink and slightly wet….we were worried that it might not be cooked enough and could make him ill. He ate what he could around the edges and threw away the rest. So disappointed. We would have returned the food for replacement but we had other commitments and there was no time to do this. It’s really put us off now.

Had cod and chips with a curry sauce. The batter was a bit wilted and greasy so not the crispy batter I was hoping for. The chips could of been crispy too but they were also a bit wilted and the curry sauce was small for the cost. It was my first time and felt the chippie up the road was better so maybe they were having an off day as they have good reviews. I expect better when paying around £13 for not even a large cod and chips with a sauce.
