Jon bouys in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My wife and I and our 3 Labrador pups called in here today for lunch whilst on holiday. OMG the fish & chips were amazing. The cod was so fresh and cooked to perfection it was mouth watering. The lady who served us was a shining example to all retail staff, her politeness and attitude toward us was a throw back to the great British values long past and forgotten. We ate on the tables outside and seeing we had our hands full with our 3 labs she so kindly bought our cups of tea out to us then went in and found a plastic container and filled it with cold water and bought it out for our dogs and as if that wasn't enough she then returned with 3 cooked sausages for them one each. Now during a busy lunch service if that isn't going above and beyond then i don't know what is. The lady is a legend in our eyes in this crazy world we live in where kindness and respect has long gone she has renewed our faith in humanity. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or living in Newquay the food is amazing and the service is fantastic. Priceless in our eye's. Richard & Suzanne 🇬🇧😊👍

Portion size were incredibly small for the price you pay! The curry sauce was the worst I’ve ever had at a chippy. You get about 5 chips in a cone. Overpriced to hell! Staff were rude - just avoid

Very small portions, over priced disappointed 😞

Rude woman , doesn’t know how to work a card machine then blamed on my GF for “ Crashing it “ then talked to us like children telling us where to tap even tho she never set it up properly .. first time and never again spend your money elsewhere..

Never again, worst chips we could find in Cornwall. The two ladies behind the counter don't seem to like their work, understandable considering the poor food they have to sell.

The place is okay however the staff are rude. I won’t be coming here again

Seems like mixed reviews on here which i dont understand, as when we went whilst on holiday, it was probably one of the best fish and chips we have had! Fresh large fish with a nice crisp batter and the chips was very nice and crisp also. The curry sauce was different and was very nice and had alot more flavour compared to other chippy curry. Fish and chips was cooked fresh when ordered. 10/10 on this visit.

Absolutely delicious fish and chips ! 2 cod and chips with chicken bites for our daughter , lovely I wish I could visit more often , definitely return in August when we are next in Cornwall

Visited after hearing the old owners were back in charge. Arrived and was serviced very quickly and with chatty smiling staff. The owners were there and made to feel very welcome. Not too pricy. Standard price for haddock about £9 which is on oar with other chip shops about town. All food cooked to order which I thoroughly enjoyed. Cannot wait to return. Thank you.

Chips were okay but the staff were lovely and friendly

Greasy, unpleasant, overpriced. Jon Bouys? Jon Avoid.

New management!! Avoid!! Worst fish and chips We ever eaten. Food wasn't fresh!! They used frozen fish and sea food to prepare. Food was oily and small portions, looked terrible. I was charged £2.40 for 3 in 1 Nescafé coffee from packet, they don't have proper coffee machine. Curry sauce made from the powder, tested awful and salthy, I was unable to eat it. I wasn't offered any ketchup, mayonnaise or tartar sauce, probably they charge extra for it. Poor quality of service by seaside. Waste of money and our time.

We are on holiday in Cornwall and had a drive out, came across this fish shop and the food was amazing! Me and my partner had fish and chips, I did question the price at 1st but then when I tasted the fish I didn't think we paid enough!. Best fish we have ever tasted. The only problem i now find is its a 4 hour drive from home 😔

Fish was rotten. Couldn't even eat it. Bisto gravy, actually, bisto is better. Rude staff members two young men served me they was very rude when I asked for salt. DO IT YOURSELF in a rude manner. Don't waste you're money it's rotten. Over priced mush

Well we wanted fish and chips for lunch and found this spot. Let's be honest it's not bistro cuisine it's sea side fish and chips but good honest food. Great views of Fistral beach and I felt good value with the family meal deal of 2 kids meals with drink and sauce and 2 adults fish and chips plus 2 cans for £27.50 pretty good. I know back home it's £9 for one portion of fish and chips so happy with the price. Fish was fresh and large white flakes, chips as good as you get from new potatoes and nice crispy batter. Staff pleasant too. Tables were clean enough and toilets too. Thanks 🙏 for lovely lunch all

Customer service was shocking. Asked for a skinless fish and it came with skin on, went and asked them to change it and they said what do you want me to do about it it's your problem no ours. It was just disgusting. The food wasn't the best I could of done better in the caravan

The chips here were quite bland compared to harbour chippy and flounders, I had to wait a very long time for the food I ordered and whilst waiting the environment felt very hostile with staff including what might of been the manager/owner. However on a positive note a young blonde boy was very friendly and helpful, and wanted to go above and beyond, also a dark haired boy was very good at keeping it clean. These 2 were truly an asset to your team and you should be thankful for these 2 as hope they get the recognition they deserve.

Best chippy in Newquay, sausages and cod were cooked to order and very tasty, will definitely be back.

Best chippy in Newquay , wish we came more because everywhere else we tried was poor. Beautiful food!

Very disappointed- probably the worst Fish and Chips I have ever had. Mostly uncooked and inedible. We used to go here every time we were in Newquay and always had great food - how times have changed - for the worst. Can honestly say that we will never go there ever again.

Hot fresh tasty chips - very reasonable and huge portions. Service was great. Our chips were cooked fresh and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend.

Chips were pale and looked under cooked. The batter on the sausage was really nice as was the curry sauce. But the chips and sausage were disgusting and the staff clearly need more training. Not impressed wouldn't return. When you are by the seaside the one thing that should be spot on are the chippies

Every holiday we come down to Cornwall we always visit this chippy. Lovely views, plus seagull dodging and great tasting chippy. Won't o anywhere else for a chippy in newquay.

Not the best chippy was a bit pricey and the service was not to good food left on counter to go cold and place was dirty wouldn’t recommend see pictures below 👇

Incredibly good fish and chips. Fantastic, cheerful service

Very friendly staff and good food.

Seafood platter was wonderful I really enjoyed it. Friendly staff.

Decent chippy with outside seating, good choice with a kids choice menu. Very filling, don't leave food unattended as seagulls will pinch your food. Good value

Came today, can honestly say best fish chips mushy peas we have had, fantastic service, fantastic food, also filled our dogs water bottle up for us much appreciated, will definitely eat there again when in area, highly recommend

Ordered 2 portions of chips, 2 fish cakes, 1 battered sausage and curry sauce £9.80. Good value and good quality

Absolutely disgusting, the fish wasn't cooked properly and the horrible fryer said it was, very rude and arrogant, would never recommend this place to anyone, what a horrible obnoxious person

Called in as wasn't too busy ,sat outside whilst our food was cooked fresh , it was delicious, fish & chips, & fishcake & chips with a separate pot of peas & curry sauce. Really enjoyed our lunch, & would recommend.

I had calamari and chips and it was really nice.

Ordered for a family of four which came to more than the family meal deal price, but was not told about meal deal price when ordering. We then decided we wanted drinks and mentioned about the meal deal after we'd seen it for ourselves and got told they wouldn't honor it even though we hadn't even been served our food yet. Chips were nice, fish tasted watery and pretty tasteless. Mushey peas not great either.

Doesnt take card. Told me where the nearest cash point is but didn't have any cash, and yes that is there fault because I was running around aimlessly looking for one as they wouldn't process our order until we paid. Could have walked to find a cash point and paid when food was ready

I came across this place by accident but what a great find it was, some of the best fish and chips (actually pie) that I have had in a long time.......this place should have a much higher trip advisor placing, go and visit

Good food, shame about customer service. Asked if there was any fish options without batter ( we are by the sea after all), went for different option, no argument. Whilst sitting outside eating food, one member of staff commented “who goes in a chip shop asking for fish without batter” whilst other staff member said “I can’t stand the way people eat their food”. Word of advice-these are your customers who pay your wages, if you have an opinion do it out of earshot or keep it to yourself. Don’t ridicule “the hand that feeds’. Won’t be going here again which is a shame as food was good. Maybe owner should Invest in customer service training or even better, get respectful staff!

Amazing food & priced well!! We had haddock & chips between 2 of us and there portions are huge! Glad we only got the one portion!! Worth a visit if your looking for some nice fish & chips

Ate there today .Fish chips and peas were as good as I've ever had. Fantastic.

Amazing Fish & Chips made by friendly staff. Easy and quick. Also a plus to have a few tables to sit outside. Great suprise after a stroll through town.

Went today at 2pm. Had the fish platter. Fish was freshly cooked and very nice, haddock, cod, filo prawns, scampi, calamari were very good. Chips were a real let down. So much that my dog didn't want them. Had obviously been sat there for a long time. Very brown, very old and not very nice. Don't get how a fish and chip shop can't get chips right. It's literally the basics.

I’ve come to Newquay regularly for years. But over the last few years I’ve never caught them open. I remember them being good. But not everybody eats after 5. The door says 11-8pm. So that’s misleading. Checked at lunch time planned the evening. Closed.

Jon Bouys never disappoint beautiful fresh fish well worth the drive down from Derby

Had the seafood platter, tasty meal, will be visiting again.

THE most bland/tasteless fish and chips I’ve ever had. Mushy peas were yellow and flavourless too and chips were undercooked.

Was served raw fish, had an upset stomach for 4 days now as I ate half the fish before I realised. Advertised as best fish and chips in Cornwall. My stomach does not agree. Avoid !

We had the fish platter for lunch, we all said the fish with light batter was very good, also the prawns and squid also very good, chips very good and crisp. Overall very nice

Hi, a great fish and chip bar, but the telephone number on here appears to be wrong. I was going to ring and find out if they were open, which this site says 'they are' because I wanted to know before I drove down there, if they still did their lovely fish platter takeaway?

Stumbled across Jon buoys whilst getting acquainted with Newquay. Good quality food and decent portions. Everyone enjoyed their food, especially the fish. If you catch a nice day of weather it's a great spot to watch the world go by

£3.20 for what was supposedly a large portion of chips! This is smaller than a small from elsewhere but the highest price absolutely ridiculous considering we are locals and will never buy from here again.

The seafood platter is amazing here, the quality and freshness of all the fish is outstanding definitely be coming back, it does get a bit crowded at lunch though.

Have visited in recent years and found food excellent but this year not so good.

Literally the best fish in town. We go back here each year and it never disappoints. Staff are all friendly. Lovely view sitting outside looking down to the beach.

Lovely fish and chip meals from this plaice - boom, tsch! Reasonably priced, indoor and outdoor seating, fish cooked fresh to order. Can’t really grumble.

Fantastic fish &chips right on the beach. Plenty of seating area with sea views. I would highly recommend this shop.

Fish and chips nice sea views what more do you want?

Wow!!! My mouth is watering writing this review!I can honestly say these are the best fish & chips I've ever tried.The batter was light and crispy, and all the chips were perfectly cooked! Not to mention the curry sauce, great consistency and taste!The portion size was great!Incredible value for money.Good job this isn't on my door-step, as I wouldn't be able to keep away!!!!

Would highly recommend for the best fish and chips lovely staff and a warm welcome for all the family

I thought the food was ok fish batter was soggy and chips were ok and curry souce was amazing! but the main issue was the Small portions and well over priced for what we had, my partner didn't like hers at all..... I didn't think it was bad just not amazing.

Lady serving has a mouth on her like Vicky polard.........''oi is this your order mate '' and when asking for a specific order you get pure sarcasm off her '' well the chips and fish come in one box mate what else do you want '' .....please somebody give her a mint too and a new set of teeth 🤮🤮🤮

Visited in July 2019 with a family of 3 young kidsPrices were excellent, £22 for a 3 X kids meals and 2 X adult mealsThe kids meals came with drinks and beans and a large packet of sauce so really good valueWe had calamari and chips which. The portion was huge and we had lots of left over chips!We opted for take away but were allowed to eat on the benches outside which gives you a great view of the sea although it was a little windy.They take card and have toilets for customers too which is a good bonus.Staff also very friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend and return.

Delicious fresh food and friendly staff

It’s was outstanding the fish was perfect and so tasty and the chips were absolutely amazing will be back soon

A cone of chips costs only 99 pence. Yhey serve these from a separate bin and they weren't the freshest truth be told. Still perfectly okag for a quick bite.

Best fish I've had in a long while. Chips OK but not much to write home about.

Ordered Fish&chips peas/curry for the whole family .. What can I say !! Absolutely outstanding Service and nothing was too much trouble.. Food Was spot on . Definitely 5 stars ✨ for us . Will be Back .

We have been to this fish and chip shop a few times now, a must when in Cornwall, fantastic food and at a great price!

Clean tidy and acceptable quality for the price we paid ,varied menu with a selection to suit the whole family

We had a lovely meal here when visiting Newquay. Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend.

We certainly enjoyed the fish,chips and peas, freshly cooked and good service. Staff very friendly, place nice and clean, will certainly go again.

Good price considering the location and the food tasted absolutely lovely. I would recommend giving this place a try

Came here as a child. So glad we came back the food is absolutely beautiful! Lovely crispy battered fish without the grease. Really good prices too. Highly recommended!

Two adults, four kids for lunch. The fish and chips, chicken nuggets were very nice and the portions very generous. The staff were friendly and efficient, very little waiting time. We sat outside, at takeaway prices. Eat in prices only apply if you use indoor seating(sounds obvious!) Great value kids meals and location near beach is perfect. I wish we had found this place earlier in our visit; as would definitely have eaten there again.

Stopped off here for Fish and Chips and they were delicious. The best we have had so far in Newquay. Staff were very obliging.

We popped in to have fish & chips after being at the beach all day. Really good service and the fish & chips were excellent. Large portions.

So go to have Fish and chips by the sea and you get given your fish and it is RAW, so you take it back and you are told it seemed hot enough no problem i will cook you another one. 10 minutes later a new fresh piece of fish and the same result NOT the place for fish and chips unless you want raw fish.

We were staying nearby on business and took the opportunity to pop into Newquay on our day off - you can't visit a seaside town without indulging in some fish and chips and, since we were tired and Jon Buoys was the closest option, we dropped in.

Helpful guy who served my Wife and I, he ensured that we were comfortable and happy with our meal when we chose to sit upstairs in the restaurant.

lovely fresh fish and proper home made chips. Very friendly staff who brought meals out to us as we both on sticks. Who definitely suggest a visit.

Introduced them too what a curry chip butty was ha they said no one had ever asked for one before lol but anyway it was absolutely amazing, was nearly closing time but staff still let us sit upstairs so we could enjoy the reviews x

The staff seemed depressed and uninterested.

Great chippy had battered fish and chips and it was amazing. Was a bit of shame how little people there was as this chippy is great especially with being so close to the beach and it deserves more people

The staff are really nice the batter on the fish was so light, home made mushy peas, food was obviously freshly cooked and piping hot. Great deal great place to eat. Heartily recommend

The portion of food and the price were reasonable ,but because we went there for lunch they were quite busy so we did have to wait a bit for the food but not too much. The fish was a little undercooked but other than that everything else was great !

Whilst in Newquay we just had to have some local fish and chips. WOW! We had asked a local shop owner where he would recommend and he said if you want the best it has to be Jon Bouys. And, boy was be right. Freshly cooked and delicious.

Jon Buoys may not look the most appealing place but the food is exceptionally good. He seems to have a secret batter recipe for the fish that does let all the grease stick to it. Fantastic tasting fish and chips

We cued at the takeaway for a short while and ordered our Fish & Chips - over 30 minutes later (according to the ticket time) we where still waiting and when the order did appear one of the fish was not cooked at the thick end, for which we had our money back as we did not fancy a further wait!

Food was ok. However owner had no bedside manner, stone face, no smiles. Rude to his staff and customers alike. Engaging with this guy for even a minute is enough to mess up your day! I asked his staff member to swap a cheap looking kids drink full of (sugars and colouring) that came with the kids meal for a water, and offered to add on extra money for the swap; she obliged and was later savaged by said owner who refused to swap the drinks and proceeded to give me frosty looks until the end of the transaction. Would not recommend, there's plenty of other fish and chip shops (with friendly staff!) around!

Good portions of chips and reasonable prices nice chips and great staff good place to go with family.

This is a lovely little fish and chip shop and we all enjoyed our food, you cannot beat fish and chips by the seaside! Lovely place!

Superb Fish And Chips, The Best In Newquay. Very Fast Service, Clean And Near The Beach. Service Was Excellent.

Really good fish n chips, yum. 😀

A great portion size and the food is delicious you can get to take out or there are seats outside well a visit best fish and chips in newquay

Amazing food, mint staff. Deserves more than 5 stars.

Very friendly staff, food was nice, excellent gravy!

Friggitoria in posizione invidiabile, poco lontano dalla spiaggia. Il locale offre tavoli sia all'interno che all'esterno, in bella posizione, ma il merluzzo, i calamari e gli scampi che abbiamo mangiato non ci hanno soddisfatto, così come le patatine, risultate un molli ... a nostro parere l'olio usato per la frittura non era il top.

Amazingly fresh fish and chips with a beautiful view over the bay. L9vely staff and clean and well kept restaurant

Imagínate, olvidaron el comienzo de una película en las fotos y estaba lloviendo, con tres hijos. . . Teníamos una hora y media de espera, así que decidimos ir cenar algo, el ambiente era algo desanimada pero por casualidad terminamos aquí, y vaya si que...
