Kempley's Catch in West Devon

Found this place when in Oakhampton on a Saturday night and decided to go for take away cod and chips. Staff were friendly, service was good and the food freshly cooked to order. Good portions hot fresh and very tasty. Would certainly recommend it.

Best fish and chips around by far.

Stopped in here after a day out on the moor and had cod and chips. The best I can remember having in a long time. Staff were lovely and welcoming and even in the short time I was waiting there were a couple of regulars which always a good sign. Fish was cooked fresh there and then was superb. Chips were excellent - great chip shop chips and not too soggy. And wall wrapped in paper the way it should be.

Just write imo... crispy batter, chips are never dry or under cooked. Friendly service would highly recommend!

Stopped here with my wife and 2 kids for proper fish and chips. It was fantastic! Lovely friendly service and insanely fresh and great food. Took it to the lovely park round the corner for some Al fresco dining and the kids could run off the batter. Hope we pass this way again! Very highly recommended!

Chips could have been better but fish was excellent 👌

Kempley’s Fish & Chips were absolutely gorgeous The batter on the fish was excellent and the chips tasted just like I remembered as a child. The young lady who served me put the right amount of salt and vinegar on them. Just perfect. Thank you. 10/10

It was better than some local chippies but I prefer it from another fish and chip shop in the town. I had cod and chips and thought the portion sizes were really small. A regular chips looked the same size as a portion of kids chips I’ve had elsewhere. The chips were a bit tough to chew and it was all a bit oily. It was nice and hot because it was all being cooked when I arrived.

Pleasant staff and delectable food! Much superior to the other chippy in Oke, in all respects x

From review I thought that here is the best fish and chips in town. But that is not truth. Very medium quality and taste. Another place was much better.

I'm all for supporting local businesses and I understand things have gone up, but nearly £4 for a large bag of chips that looks like a small and cold is a joke its daylight robbery, curry sauce is that weak, no flavour and also cold, if you want to buy the kids some chips for tea I would think about doing overtime at work to pay for it, won't be returning as its not the first time. Staff are nice and polite.

Great food and staff fish to die for , can't recommend enough

Been coming to Kempleys Catch for years, ALWAYS a friendly service always great food. Only chippy in town in my eyes. Highly Recommend.

1 of the best fish shops in Devon

It's great, great prices and great customer service not to mention the chips are to die for ☺️ definitely recommend !

A proper chippy with smiles all round and very well organised. Best there is

Great chips. Lovely little eating area for no extra charge, super friendly staff. Yum yum

One of the if not the best fish and ships shops we been to. Very hospitable and friendly. Utterly recommended

Went to this Chippy based on good reviews given. They were right. The chippy itself is small in a Okehampton back street with a small seating area. It was very busy on arrival, but we can understand why. The Fish & Chips & Scampi & Chips bought were fresh cooked & well cooked & tasted superb. Can thoroughly recommend.

Got there 10mins before closing and was told whatever i want they will cook it fresh. Only had pie and chips but it was fantastic 😍. Definitely visiting again when I'm working in the area. It's even worth the journey from where I live in Cardiff. Great value as well.

Best fish and chips for miles by far

The staff are always very friendly & welcoming here which is lovely and the food is great...especially the fried halloumi YUM! If only the chips were bigger portions, it would have been 5 stars !! 🌟

Briliant food and fish and chips best in town

Lovely fresh fish and chips. Great service

Live locally, but hadn't been to Kempleys for many years. Really glad i returned. Batter is light and not at all greasy, and the large cod was perfectly cooked. Chips were crispy but fluffy inside. Overall this is really good fish and chips.

Lovely fish and chips. Ate in at take-out price. There isn't a loo, but there are public loos and ones in nearby establishments.

Please avoid. The worst fish and chips I've had in 25 years. Go to Graylings instead if you're looking for a chippy in Okehampton. I visited this takeaway for the first time today and I won't be coming back. I ordered x2 haddocks and a large chips for my wife and I to share and it was incredibly disappointing. I was handed 3 hot packages without a bag, nor was I offered one. A bad start, but there was worse to come. The chips were very oily and had an unpleasant earthy taste to them. The fish batter was all stuck to the paper so clearly wasn't cooked with hot enough oil. The flesh of the fish was incredibly dry and bland that even our cat turned her nose up at the haddock. Assuming of course I was actually given haddock. All this for the princely sum of £21. It's not often that I leave a review but this terrible experience warrants one.

Für Nostalgiker, das einzige was fehlt ist das Zeitungspapier. Als takeaway und im nahegelegenen Park essen.

Great place to get fish and chips. Lots of choice and all cooked fresh. An added bonus for us northerners was they sold baked beans!

What a great fish & chip shop! Really freshly done lightly battered fish & lovely chips. Very nice staff & eat in for takeaway price. Can’t praise this place highly enough! I hope that the residents of Oakhampton know how lucky they are! I’m not local to the area but visit regularly, & when back again will definitely visit as my fish & chips where the best I’ve had for ages.

Lovely staff and ALWAYS the best chips ever. The test is finding them delicious without adding sauce or extra vinegar. They do delicious curry sauce but I love the taste of their chips so much that I have them just as they are. Even if I am desperately craving chips, if Kempley's isn't open, it's just not worth going elsewhere. Kempley's chips are always worth the wait.

Really shocked to be honest at the size of the large portion of chips. I respect and appreciate that high operating costs are driving retail prices higher, however, there is absolutely no need to reduce the portion size, to that of less than a standard portion equivalent somewhere else. I have never experienced such a poor portion size for price. I can only hope that the young person serving got the portion size wrong, although he confirmed, and charged me for a large portion. The chicken fillet burger was also very thin and far too small for the bap. I have had many fillet burgers (even frozen ones from Iceland) that are far generous. Given the other glowing reviews of this chip shop, I either went in on a "bad day" or I can speculate that portion sizes are the subject of 'shrinkflation'. Luckily, there are a couple more chip shops locally that offer better value for money and as a paying customer I have the privilege of not returning to Kempley's. Very disappointed and underwhelmed. I can stomach higher prices because I understand the challenges that retailers are experiencing, however, I cannot take being blatantly ripped off.

We visited oakhamton park with the kids, and decided we was hungry so went to kempleys. We are from Exeter so have a big choice of fish and chips around our area!! But this place is amazing and beats any place we have been too. The fish is outstanding and I was also shocked how cheap it was to be honest. Really friendly staff who told me they had been there 28 years, and I can see why.

Go to chippy in Okie, look no further

Great little fish and shop, with some lovely food. Definitely recommended

I was stopping locally about two weeks ago and a local person recommended it. I was amazed to find out that eating in prices are the same as the takeaway prices. Ordered standard cod, small chips and a cup of tea. Sat down in the restaurant and had the best I have ever tasted. I’ve had fish n chips in Whitby, Brixham and in the midlands where I live and this is the best I have ever had. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is comfortable, clean and nicely furnished.

my first time in England for Christmas with a friend and came into the shop. it did not disappoint. Great cod and chips. not too oily, great flavor, and salt and vinegar hit the spot

My husband went to this fish shop 8/12/22 and I had chicken and chips, The chicken potion was disgusting it was dry and inside because it was( well over done)cremated on the outside I had to throw it away with high food prices as they I can’t afford to throw money away, owner wasn’t around because he was poorly…Never again have chicken, I should have taken it back!!!!

Best fish and chips in Devon, A lovely friendly service

Best pea fritter in the world, lovely fresh fish.

Went in got served straight away. Food was very nice and hot will go back again.

Crispy batter and fresh fish, excellent chips too. Clean restaurant and friendly staff.

Lovely fish and chips, plus friendly staff.

Just popped in here for a quick cod and chips after a long day travelling. Good location in centre of Okehampton. They have a small, well kept dining area - after you place your order in the takeaway the very friendly staff bring it round. Tasty and fresh, a good cup of tea too! Only in Okehampton for one night but would definitely come back if I was staying for longer.

Excellent quality food staff friendly and professional, best fish and chips in town,

Well, what lovely friendly people run this place. Food was hot and freshly cooked. Perfect portions, chips were a good mix of soft and crispy and fish was nice and meaty' with a good batter. Good choice to the menu too, Son enjoyed his cheeseburger, daughter her halloumi fries and brother some sweet fritters. The place itself was clean and smart and catered for kids portions too. Excellent.

I can only give my opinion on the chips from this establishment as they are all I sampled. The title sums it up, today we bought some take away chips and they were awful. The large portion was only the size of standard elsewhere and cost £3.20!!! They were very greasy, pale and flabby..the picture I have attached tells it all. Will never go there again.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Short waiting time

Eat in the room next door for the best fresh fish & chips at its finest. Very busy early evening Fridays.

really friendly staff and a nice, cozy, and clean little sitting area! some really good fish and chips too!

Just picked Fish and Chips and peas up for lunch.Very nice they were.Clean establishment and a very big menu Good service.

Very good food and spotless dining room. Good portions, and nice staff.

Visiting on holiday, very busy with locals, which is always a good sign. Went in at 7:15 on a Saturday, and service was quick and everything cooked fresh to order. Decent portion and good to see fish sustainably line caught

Food is always good and the fish is excellent

Popped in for cod and chips and a coffee on a cold January Saturday afternoon. Was pleasantly surprised to find out you could eat-in for no extra cost which was most welcome considering the cold evening. Good food and service and the eat-in option is a good idea.

Great fish. Really fresh cod. Generous helping, nice atmosphere

We arent big fish n chips eaters, maybe a couple of times each month .... and we were even less so after trying the fish and chip shops here in our nearest town. adequate ... ish .. but a couple of years ago we were in Okehampton at one of the larger supermarkets and afterwards we called at Kempley's Catch for a takeaway... what lovely fish and chips they are ... the staff are always pleasant and usually we are greeted with a "hello Gail" from behind the mask and our order is waiting for us ... lovely people and lovely food ... So now it has become a regular trip up to Okehampton from the Launceston area to visit the supermarket and afterwards call at Kempley's Catch..

Best fish and chips in town! Run by a very nice couple!

This is an excellent fish and chip shop!

Five stars before, wish I could add them again..smashing fish n chips from a great chippy..not many left these days, this is one of the good uns 👍

Whilst on Holiday, had chips and meals twice in this wonderful Chippy with indoor seating. Fantastic staff who are truly devoted to serving the community with lovely delicious food!! Thanks for a wonderful experience and lovely food!! To another 27 years of business!!

Best fish and chips in Okehampton. Nuff said.

Used Kempleys Catch when we were on holiday and staying at a barn conversion in Okehampton It’s down a side street off the high street . It looks like it’s in someone’s house not your usual looking Chip shop. But coming from the Midlands where we think ours are the best I have to say the staff were so friendly and the Fish and Chips were mouthwatering. Big portions and three Fish and Chips came to around £21. Best I’ve eaten in a long while . If your in Okehampton check this establishment out.

Great value for money, hot and tasty! Would definitely recommend to others. Visited from out the area and we’re not disappointed.

The best fish and chips we have had in a long time .. ...please go here great staff and beautiful food all orders are cooked fresh

Kempley's is an obvious choice for us every time we fancy a take away fish and chips. Best in town with lovely, friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic service grate food nice staff thanks for the grub its was very nice crispy fish lovely 🍟

Everything cooked fresh which means waiting but it's worth waiting for. Two happy tummies 👍

Expensive tiny portions, literally running with grease. Without doubt the worst fish and chips we have ever had for both quality and value. We won't be a returning customer. In reply to your question. Thursday 3rd June around 5pm

Great fish n chips, very pleasant friendly staff

Was really nice enjoyed every mouth full would recommend it to everyone

Omg, amazing chips and the fish is so light but tasty and as for the chicken breast nuggets, the best in town, nice light batter, soft juicy chicken breast, not cheap processed ones, absolutely lovely

Nice and hot fish and chips; well priced as well. Although, I would have liked a few more chips.

My wife and I really look forward to friday’s when I collect our order. The staff are great,the fish and chips are consistently freshly cooked and yummy,can’t wait until next week’s treat. Bob

오크헴튼에서 가장 좋아하고 자주 가는 피쉬앤 칩스 테이크 아웃. 너무 맛있어서 계속 생각나는 곳이에요. 처음 영국에서 피쉬앤 칩스를 먹는거라면 mushy peas 라고 초록색 콩을 으깨서 만든 소스인데 같아 먹으면 정말 맛있어요 !! 커리소스는 3분카레같은 소스에요. 감자튀김도 바로 튀기고 식초랑 소금이 뿌려져서 너무 맛있어요.오크헴튼에 한국인은 저 혼자지만 혹시나 다른 한국인들이 보신다면 정말 추천드립니다! 이웃들 사이에서도 위생이 청결하고 맛있기로 소문난 곳이에요 !!

Best non seaside chip shop for miles 🙂

Best chip shop in town by a country mile, never had a bad meal over the many years.

Lovely little fish and chips shop with a wide range of good food

Very friendly, very helpful, great food cooked to order, eat in or take away, 5 stars

My partner and I went in this evening for dinner fish chips and stake and kidney pie and chips, absolutely delicious, staff are very friendly, and the lady behind the counter was just amazing very helpful and understanding, I asked for a mask as I had forgot mine, and she gave us a mask, such a lovely place will defo go back again

In my opinion it is the best chippy in our town, always our first choice. Fresh and top quality.

Delicious chips and the most amazing pea fritters! Really nice menu with lots of veggie options. Never disappointed.

Lovely welcome and the fish and chips were great highly recommend.

Lovely fish and chips, fast and secure service and takes card payments.

Fantastic as usual best fish and chip shop in okehampton

Friday lunchtime, quick service, lovely well cooked fish (place & cod) and plenty of nice chips. Still the best in town! Keep it up.

Read the reviews on here and google and they’re all true! Very friendly owners, beautiful fish and just the right amount of chips. Everyone following the covid guidelines. Well worth a visit when visiting Okehampton.

Absolutely amazing, by far the best place to go for fish and chips in okehampton, they also do burgers and other things on the menu. Service is always top notch and would definitely recommend this place over any others!!

Nice chips, substandard fish. Could catch better. Jk it's fab

Make sure you pre-order it's so easy and collection is so quick Lorraine, Steve and their staff are very friendly the fish and chips are fabulous 👍

We went to this chippy on a Friday and we had to wine outside in the rain for over half an hour but we found it fun,A lot of people were moaning. We ordered our food and it was cooked fresh to order, the fish, chips and mushy peas were the bear I’ve had, the only criticism is the gravy as I’m from the north we like our gravy and we found it very watery so we threw the gravy away. But overall great experience

Family run, and it shows in the care taken from start to finish. Everything cooked to order, nothing sat for hours in the hot cupboard. Very good range of item on the menu as well.

Best fish & chips I have had in a long time!

Why Do All The Devon & Okehampton Chip Shops NOT Sell Battered Mushrooms?...... This is a good chippy, but like all the others, measured (boxed) portions, and don’t sell battered mushrooms for some weird reason????

Staff very friendly food excellent and value for money

Lovely fish and chips / fresh pasty

This was the Best Fish and Chips we have ever had . the Batter on the fish was wonderful, the chips were so tasty and all served with a smile nothing was to much trouble will go back again and again .other half said the best in the world x

Kempleys Catch has a seating area, chips were good and the fish was great, personally I didn't enjoy the batter.

We pop to Kempley's quite regularly everything that I have tried here has been great it's all cooked fresh the menu is quite extensive and includes vegetarian options which makes a nice change. We usually have take away but have eaten in the restaurant beforeThe staff are so friendly you are made to feel very welcome I would recommend Kempley's to everyone the restaurant is a very good alternative to take away.The chippy is so popular be prepared to queue but believe me it is worth the wait for freshly cooked food and very reasonable prices.
