Lynbay Fish and Chips in North Devon

One of the most amazing burgers I have ever eaten, it was a unanimous feeling of the group. The 1/2 pounder burger was insanely good, would genuinely make another trip just to eat that burger again! The food was hot and really tasty, just all round 10/10!

Forgot to leave a review, but we were just talking about this place - best fish & chips ever! Visited over the summer. We did a very big takeaway order, everything was freshly fried & service with a smile. The fish was super crispy & fresh. Would definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips, had to wait a while but so worth it! Very friendly staff. Absolutely gorgeous hake, they deserve their excellence award.

Really good chips every time fish is good and so is the sausage. If I’m being honest not a single bad thing about this chippy 10/10 in my eyes

Great fish and chips, slightly pricey friendly service

One of the best fish and chips we have had

friendly delivery PERFECT gluten free haddock chips x3

lovely, hot and tasty, as usual!

Not happy with the size of the fish , chips were chewy

Easy to order on line, good selection, good food on arrival.

Gluten free batter is delicious and crispy. Had the haddock and it was a fair size. Sadly same can't be said for the regular batter large cod, it was disappointingly small and soggy. It does the job for GF fish so highly recommend ordering that even if you aren't GF. Good to note chips aren't GF.

Beautiful wrap with crispy chicken, salad, sweet chilli sauce and grated cheese, chips excellent.

Nice food but had to chase the order.

Food was good, when we eventually got it. But the service was sadly lacking. The staff were completely disorganised, more so conversing about the previous night on the town rather than tending to waiting customers. We waited 20 minutes at our table to be served, then decided to give up and go the takeaway route instead. Being a recently diagnosed celiac is a challenge. Made worse by places offering gf options, but doing so grudgingly and with poor customer service. Definitely will not be returning here.

Good food. Order early because there is often a bit of a wait - two salad boxes took at least 20 minutes but were delicious.

Great for gluten free. Myself and daughter are celiac so we was so happy to have chips and sausage and curry sauce. Lovely staff very friendly and helpful.

Rude staff, didn't even acknowledge we were there, more bothered with online orders, walked out went down the road to the Dolphin.

Burgers were amazing, chips were a little cold but still delicious.

The batter on the fish was soft and soggy and the chips were undercooked

Dona kebab was good but pitta very small do got a cob, chilli sauce amazing! Burger good, chips awful and didn’t get out jumbo sausage ☹️

Lovely fish and chips always go there best in Ilfracombe.

Delicious fish and chips and delivery on time! Thank you.

Told the wait was 30-40 minutes, fine, that gave us time to mooch about. Came back and wasn’t ready. After 1 hour and 10 minutes we finally got our food - 1 cod and chips, 1 battered sausage and chips and 1 gluten free cod and chips. It was not good. The batter on both cod’s was wet and not crunchy at all, the batter on the sausage was ok and the chips were awful, very chewy and as if they had just been reheated from lunch or been sat about for a long time. And we got to pay £30 for the privilege. Honestly, save your time and money and go somewhere else!

Really bad customer service, they were just so rude! Food was ok it was just let down by the staff. The one down the road had a huge queue and now we know why!

Cold food, took 1 hr 25 mins for delivery that cost £4.50. Very disappointed and a waste of money.

Waited over 30mins for some chips. They weren’t even cooked properly. 4 women behind the counter, not one of them had a clue.

High recommend. We had a big order for a large party, food still arrived well earlier than expected and the food was great.

Family of 4 and we all had something different, sat in the restaurant. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food, no one left anything. I'm a coeliac and this was the best gluten free battered fish I've had. Staff were very helpful and efficient. It was lovely.

lovely food as always , but we ordered our food 2 and a half hours before we wanted it delivered and was still 30 minutes late

food always good, busy time of year so not surprised delivery a bit late

delicious pie and chips, great service, fast delivery x arrived hot and well wrapped, thank you

We were here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We decided to have takeaway. We went in to order, 4 members of staff larking around not at all friendly too busy chatting to each other. I did want a jumbo sausage but the ones in the top box looked dreadful so I had cheesy chips husband had cod and chips to my horror that was £17.00. We were asked to wait outside it seemed to take ages. At least 15 mins if not longer. We took our takeaway to eat on a bench and enjoy the sun and view. Well all I can say is the food was horrible. My cheesy chips were soggy the cheese was a big lump. I had asked for salt and vinegar didn't taste anything. The cod and chips batter soggy and chips pale and again soggy nothing crispy on the meal at all. Very disappointing. We are not visitors we live in the area. I feel sorry for holiday makers being ripped for this food. Tourist places need to understand its not just about the money quality matters.

Cod over priced, over cooked and the size of the cod was so small. The rest of the food was lovely, hot and delicious

Amazing as always. Food was hot, very tasty and super quick delivery. Thank you

Nice fish, but the worst chips ever, pale and soggy. And the most expensive I've ever bought at nearly £20 for a portion of cod and chips and a single cod.

I had an extra large sausage and was disappointed to find it tasted disgusting. It's texture looked like 'meat slurry', the cheapest possible quality 'meat'. I threw it away. It is possible buy delicious meaty sasages from another place cheaper and better.

We have been using lynbay for 20 years when we holiday . The food this year wasn’t great. Burnt calamari. Chips greasy undercooked. You could tell the oil needed changing. Real disappointed

Superb quality food with fast and friendly delivery

Best fish and chip shop around, beautiful tasting Lundy caught cod

Hair on kids cod and chips absolutely disgusting

Some things are brilliant on the menu but I’ve got to say the quality of your chips have gone down hill to the point of me having to chuck them away , there greasy and soggy and taste like they have been defrosted in a bucket for 5 days , stale and also a bad batch of potato kept finding black parts on the chips ! Im not one to complain about food but come on guys pick your standards up 😊

Lovely gluten free cod and chips - with delicious light and crispy batter! We ate inside to help keep our toddler’s concentration and staff were friendly. Service was quick. Fish was lovely and fresh - just the portion size was a little on the smaller side than we were used to, especially for the price (£15.40 for cod and chips) - hence the 4/5. Would highly recommend!

very long wait for an inedible hake and chips. The batter had a strong rancid aftertaste and the chips were grey and soggy. The seagulls seemed to like it though.

Having read the reviews was very disappointed with the customer service. I ordered and paid for two jumbo sausages and two regular chips to take away. After a twenty minute wait it arrived, we were with friends who's order came just before ours so I walked over to the harbour to join friends and eat it. When unwrapped there were two small sausages not jumbos. Not wanting to return then and possibly wait another twenty minutes, plus keep friends waiting we ate them. I went back to tell them what had happened, I had the amount paid on my banking app. One of the young women in the counter said she could give me two small sausages, I said no as I had already eaten, she then said as I hadn't brought them back it was just my word it had happened, an apology would have been nice but it was the accusary tone I didn't like, I said, why would I make it up for two small sausages. Her tone was unpleasant the other two young women just looked on. My husband then joined me and hearing the conversation said, you haven't obviously haven't heard the customer is always right. He said I will be given you a bad review her response was very flippant my reply saying not your business so I doubt you care. Such a shame as the chips were tasty freshly cooked and hot, the sausage tasty too. Not a pleasant experience being disbelieved My advice check your purchase before leaving.

Worst quality fish and chips I've had in a long time, certainly won't be using lynbay again till things improve. Everything undercooked and overpriced. Shall stick to the dolphin in Ilfracombe or Graylings in Fremington

Food was ok. a slight error with my order. I got mushy peas instead of curry sauce. Wasn't going to ring because of that. Hopefully it'll be corrected next time

Ordered a takeaway fish and chips and a battered sausage all stone cold delivery was late not impressed. We have used before and the food has always been hot.

lovely food and a friendly delivery person

Food was fine but took 35 minutes from Order to being ready and the chips were pretty greasy when they did arrive. Would not rush back

Been looking for a good gluten free fish and chip shop in north Devon for ages - and so glad we tried Lynbay as it was delicious. A little on the pricey side £15 for fish and chips, but it was well worth it. Really crispy chips and fish and not too greasy. Big portion (definitely could share it). We sat and had ours on the beach in the harbour. Absolutely fantastic. Very much looking forward to a return visit.

are salad was brown and we ordered cheese on are curly fryers and didnt get any cheese.

Nice chippy on the harbour in ilfracombe, sat inside and the service was very good nice fish

Nah I can’t believe you’re putting a burger slice of cheese on your cheesy chips, utterly embarrassing. Happened to me a few years back and I didn’t order again after. You’re still bloody at it. No one wants that, you know it, we know it, lazy

the food was lovely as usual, but the gravy was just like warm water no gravy taste at all

Bacon and cheese chips didn’t state what cheese was on them upon ordering, so was disappointed with the burger cheese

Great gluten free fish and chips including gf vinegar. Reasonible cost and a safe place to eat. So good we had them again takeaway two days later.

Entered the restaurant and about 5 members of staff were stood chatting, some glanced and us briefly, finished their chat and one member of staff greeted us. Felt like we were disturbing their social gathering and all in all felt unwelcome while there. Food was good though.

Food was early. Great service at the door. Food was lovely. Thanks

great friday night takeout i ordered maddys but chipsvwas awful lyn bay chips fish battered sausages 9/10 imo no soggy batter great food kids loved thenfish to

Great gluten free options, would recommend.

Had a large order as I had family down and it came on time all piping hot and tasty. They forgot 1 portion of chips and sauce but rectified imediately when called and sorted very quickly. Top job :)

everything was yummy! slight brie issue but seems to be rectified! lovely hot food 😋

Great fish and chips, best we've had. Fish was delicious, crispy batter and succulent tasty fish. Chips were crisp and fluffy. Really good.

Haven’t gotten the right order twice in a row ordered southern fried goujons and got regular and was missing items on previous orders

Didn’t complete order. Gave me wrong burger

wrap was amazing, best I've had in ages

On the plus side, the food was freshly cooked, on the downside you wait forever outside on the harbour wall where the local idiots pull wheelies on their electric bikes. Fish and chips overpriced for what they were. Comparable places under £10, here £12

One of the best Fish and chips we have had. Lovely mushy peas too. We love our fish and chips and this place did not disappoint us at all. Lovely helpful service too. Right on the harbour and certainly worth a visit.

would have been 5 stars but the gravy was lumpy. also the delivery driver kept me standing in front of his car that long it started to rain so I sat in my car to keep dry. he then phoned me to tell me he was here and I told him it was me stand in front of his car but I got soaked because it poured down, he replied I thought it was you. if he had just given me the order when he pulled up I would have not got drenched.

Best Gluten Free fish n chip takeaway in North Devon. Ilfracombe lovely location. Food cooked to order. With our daughter being celiac we have to be careful. Here it's perfect for all the family regardless of being gluten free. Always been extremely pleased but never taken any pictures of the food and that's because it all tastes so good we don't want to mess around taking pictures. Staff are always polite and friendly whatever the season. If your wanting fish n chips or sausage n chips. (Lots on the menu) Try here you won't be disappointed. If anything you won't want to go anywhere else again. Think it's around ten quid for fish and chips but well worth it. Fresh fish caught by local fisherman, potatoes from local farmers and cooked by local people.

Ridiculously over priced! Food was poor quality, fish tasted of nothing, too much batter and greasy The chips were tiny too, like potato ends ! Avoid, only reason it gets customs is its location Avoid !!

superb quality. they were great and definitely one of the best in the South West.

When ordering online, on the fish section does not specify that chips are to be ordered separately... and it is priced at £7.80...Having ordered the same thing in the past, still same menu, chips were ordered separately, but it turned that the fish cam with chips and ended up paying and ordering too much.

Long time between message saying food on its way and food actually arriving, although it arrived in estimated delivery slot, box very greasy food obviously been in box a while. Had quicker and hotter from here but they change delivery drivers too often

batter light/crispy and fish lovely and flakey . One of the party had gluten free fish and said it was light and crispy batter. All hot and not greasy. Staff were friendly and let us know it would be 20 mins wait as they cook fresh for each order...just as we like. Glad we visited 😊

Just ordered and munched our way through some fantastic fish n chips, beautifully cooked and the gluten free option was super tasty as well. Mushy peas and curry sauce were sublime! Shop was super busy, so we collected. We’ll be back!

I went today for some lunch and I could not believe how rude the staff were. I didn’t catch her name but there was one in particular with brown hair and it completely put me off my food. I would never return again!!!! The owner of the shop should really consider hiring polite, approachable, kind staff with manners!

Unbelievably expensive for what it is (£4.90 for a portion of chips!!!!!) but I’m guessing this is because of the location, felt a bit of a rip off paying this on a cold dark night in February!! Friendly service but the staff are clearly overworked and seemed overwhelmed with delivery orders. I had to wait over twenty minutes for our takeaway, which I was happy to do as I was told this before I ordered. They understand gluten free procedures. Our fish was slightly dry! I wouldn’t recommend going here, but too be honest there are limited choices.

Arrive early which was great as the kids were starving! Lovely fresh crispy fish.

lovely food again apart from the curly fries they were stone cold , had to warm them up

Been a long time customer and the portion sizes have been getting smaller today we bought a large chips band barley covered the tray not even a box it’s the last time for me which is disappointing but not spending the money to only have to cook after

Wonderful experience with lovely freshly fried fish and chips. Highly recommended

Ordered cod chips peas curry .cod was very very greasy not enjoyable at all , chips was OK , peas where tasteless, curry was that powder made but chunk of powder at bottom of carton absolutely horrible... overall experience the place needs updating ,not very clean hygienically makeing gravy in a jug , very expensive for what you receive, it my personal opinion it looks like inside the shop and taste of food , they just trying to make as much profit as they can with no care about how the food taste shame really because it could make a lot more profit if it took care of the the food and the customers buying it is not even in holiday season so it just goes to show what it thinks of the locals who live there , .i will not be returning..... try it out for yourself

Fantastic, delivered much quicker than stated which was great, the delivery lady was lovely and the curly fries with donna kebab meat were really tasty.

Food was not up to normal standard. Cheesy curly fries were lukewarm. My husbands steak and kidney pies crust hard to cut with knife. Very disappointed

Lovely fish and chips cooked to order. The fish batter was really crispy and the meal was of a good size and very enjoyable. The staff were polite and friendly and I would visit again

my burgers were crushed into pancakes when the food arrived and the grease was soaked through all of the wrappings

Fish was lovely and the gluten free batter was great.

Really awful burger all round. Dreadful quality ".meat " . First and last time that I use them.

Used to use Lynbay regularly as the food and portion sizes were great. Not so impressed any more though Large chips are comparable to a regular size elsewhere and the prices are way overboard. Large chips alone is £4.90, as an example Squires in Braunton is £3.50 for a much bigger portion. Lynbay also lack vegetarian options Service though is always fast and friendly

Battered sausage wasn’t even battered properly

Food was overcooked and we ordered curly fries but got chips instead. Food took over an hour from when we ordered and it said it was delivered when it hadn’t left

Mix up with order, cash payment next time £5 off, very help full staff

Fish and chips and gravy. It was lovely! Generous portions. We ate in.

Order wrong, ordered a wrap - got a kebab, ordered curly fries - got normal chips. Kebab box so greasy today, and meat not as nice 😔

seafood platter was upsetting and not great. wouldnt call it a platter just a box of 9 pieces.

Was over an hour late tried to call buy the phone was busy call 15 times and all I got was a sorry

the doner kebab wasn't made ready the pitta wasn't cut and ripped as I tried to open it. the meat was lovely and plenty of it also a good amount of salad. very disappointed with the mint yoghurt dressing too runny.

Undercooked pasty and battered sausage very disappointed usually good

Took a hour but still very nice food and most of it was hot but didnt have donuts I wanted not their fault though
