Lynbay Fish and Chips in North Devon

Delivery on time, arrived hot and well cooked.

Friendly delivery food arrived piping hot! Cheese on chips was melted scans of drink arrived ice cold too!

cor, love the coleslaw, so good. fish and chips were very good too. Lynbay is always my go to for takeaway.

5 items missing they were redelivered salad was old and dry food went cold while waiting for items .

i love the chicken wrap, one of my favourites, the food was really hot too.

always had good food from Lyn Bay.

Great as always, Ania with delivery always great and a credit to you.

Absolutely filthy dirty inside . Sat for 15 minutes being completely ignored . Supposed to be table service , enquired and was spoken to extremely rudely . Went to the toilets and they were so disgusting we left . Please don’t go there unless you want rude staff and be completely ignored.

Take away Fish (Haddock) and Chips. The restaurant opened at 12pm, so the oil was clean for frying. Slightly higher price than some, but the quality of fish and home-made chips were excellent. Situated right on the harbour front, where you can eat in your car if you like with a view.

Order came on time. But was missing the cheesy chips and was sent a small chips. Tried to phone through more than 10 times with no answer

Food was ordered I was called to be told it’s on its way driver very polite food was perfect and hot will definitely use again and I highly recommend

Food was piping hot! Drinks cold and my chicken burger was great! 😋

Great food and friendly delivery service. Thanks

Food was great delivery quicker than expected

Whatever you’re doing differently please keep it going. That was the best fish & chip supper we’ve had in a long time 🤗

Great, tasty food. delivered on time and hot. Salad served in a separate container. Look forward to ordering again soon. Many thanks.

Amazing customer service, tasty food, more than I thought I’d get. Asked for a few onion slices and got a whole tub. Very good, will be back again.

Seemed to be the only chip shop open in Ilfracombe on a Sunday night. Really good food, generous portion size. Will definitely return.

Thank you on time great size portions and hot tasty food

Overcooked food every time. Such a shame. Used to be nice a long, long, long time ago. Now they are incapable of cooking simple sausage and chips :(

i wish they would tell me they were on there way before they knocked on the door 45 mins early and woke the baby up

Having a few days away, always nervous about ordering food from a different place,had nothing to worry about,the food was fresh,hot and very tasty, would 100% order again, thank you.

Asked for small fish n chips like I had the night before(which was ok for less than a tenner) but was told they only had "large" for £12, with mushy peas it came to £14.50. It was a large amount of batter but inside of it the fish was shrunken, overcooked, and tasteless. The chips were also bland and weirdly stuck together in stodgy clumps. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. They were different people from the night before when I was served more reasonable food so I was expecting the same thing. Unfortunately, they are not consistent. I was ripped off and will not return.

Grabbed a takeaway from here. Fish cooked fresh to order. Friendly staff and tasty fish and chips. Well priced and a good portion! Good that the packaging was cardboard and paper (no plastics).

Good friendly delivery driver, he followed delivery instructions, takeaway didn't give him any change for a cash order, luckily he had some on him. the food however was stone cold and all had to be reheated, we are 5 mins from lynbay, there's no excuse for this really

Visited here on 30th December 2024 and were so glad we did! Much of the town was closed down (a shame as lots of people were out-and-about and the restaurant soon got very busy) and we really fancied fish and chips and spotted this place. The service was friendly and welcoming. The chips were freshly cooked and crispy/tasty; and the Gluten Free battered cod was one of the best we've tasted. Excellent value for money too! Recommended!

Food was early which was great. However was also terrible. All 3 chips were either over cooked, cold or terribly seasoned. The small cod was well, very small. I wood say that there was more batter had cod, I think even some batter was battered. Looked like cod but wasn’t. Especially for the price. You used to be the best. No longer I’m afraid ! Chip shop curry sauce was good but I’m not sure how you’d get that wrong.

Eaten here night before while we were on holiday and was great. Tonight food was cold , some missing and over cooked. Might be an isolated incident but wasn't good

Lovely kebabs and chips . Arrived hot . Really enjoyed it .

Wrong bun on burger chips seemed re heated

Superb food, lovely and hot, great delivery, thankyou

I ordered a large Fanta. Zero suger and got a small one one was a bit annoyed but the food was lovely 👍

Great experience, lovely food would definitely use again 😉

We ordered food for 10 people and everything was absolutely perfect. Service was great and the food was reasonable priced. Couldn't ask for more.

Smallest - large chips I’ve ever ordered.

Battered stuffing balls ate an abdolute game changer !

batter undercooked and haddock really small

everything was good and hot. My only complaint would be how small the piece of fish was for the price. Probably would not order the fish again

Never buy from them, Rude staff . Food looked like out of a dustbin. Dreadful for a local fish and chip shop.

As usual excellent food and arrived perfectly warm and exact to the minute when arranged to be delivered, great food and service thank you!

we had a power cut so really appreciated there being somewhere open to do deliveries as so many places are shut...fair play to you lynbay n ur delivery drivers :)

Great fish and chips delivered on time nice and hot always excellent from lynbay and especially on night like this with all the power cuts cheers lynbay excellent service

Ordered takeaway from here on Friday. The woman behind the counter was polite and friendly, she even said to sit in the car and she'd bring the food out so I didn't have to stand. Excellent Gluten Free fish and chips cooked to order. The portions could be a bit bigger but that's the only (slight) negative. Very happy with it.

the order tasted as though it was cooked in old oil and the chips were small bits and rock hard. very disappointed not worth the money.

kids chicken nuggets well over cooked so daughter can not eat them .... large chips look like a small .... The Donna meat pizza box and chips were lovely

25 minutes late, fish ok but chips very dried out, shame. usually very good

I ordered an half chicken and chips with cheese and bacon.. I have eaten just the bacon from this order.. The chicken was burn and tasted terrible (very plain and full of oil ). The chips probably they were cooked in the same oil because they were full of that terrible taste of old oil (I couldn't eat any ). I'm not fussy but this is the 2nd order and the chicken and the chips are made in the same way.. Not eatable. You need to change the way you cook the food. Is not tasty at all. Good luck ..

Wow what a great place to eat, the fish and chips were excellent and the service matched. Best Fish and chips I’ve had in some time, I would highly recommend Lynbay Fish & Chips 😋

They have a very, very bad service. The prices high the food is not nice.

Very bad service the staff are not friendly Bad food we ask for meal they said meal without drink also they charge us for the drink

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!

Very nice food as always. Thank you

Chips were dried out and hard. At least half were crunchy and some too solid to bite

Fish batter oily and chips were very thin and hard, not thick and chunky. Very disappointed considering the price

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
