Mariners Fish and Chip in Torbay

We arrived at paignton and we decided to have fish and chips so went to every single fish bar in all of paignton and we found mariners very understanding staff with my dad's mobility scooter and the service was brilliant and the food came and the food was delicious will go there again

Spotted a sign on the main street down a side road for Mariners. I had to park my mobility scooter outside and soon got a table for 3. I had 2 x Roe chips and mushy peas fritter, my wife had steamed fish and our som had s massive fish with chips. The staff were all polite and friendly. All the food was freshly cooked

Lovely fish and chips, I had pea fritter and chips with mushy peas and a pot of tea. Nice inside dining area. Very friendly staff.

Light crisp batter & enormous portion of delicious chips. Def the best in Torbay 🐟 🍟 Always delicious & so quick when collecting!

This is a small restaurant attached to their take away counter and as such is not licensed. However the Fish and Chips were superb. We had gluten free battered haddock, chips and mushy peas, which could not be bettered. The fish portions were so large we were full for a day afterwards and the chips tasty and not greasy at all. Highly recommended. Fair price too

Good food, great quick service. Gluten free options is really good

Always order gluten free fish & chips. Second time recently and both times not enjoyed as per usual. Last fish was really dry. Batter has changed and its horrible. Also made me & my partner have upset tummy. Use to think Mariners was best as we live nearby but unfortunately it has put us off for good. Never again. Do not recommend.

Absolutely amazing gluten free fish and chips. Helpful staff, wonderful lunch for everyone. Good value for money as GF meals are usually more expensive than other meals.

Not one for writing reviews banging chippy loads of options for gluten free tasty food would deffo recommed

Recently visited for our tea being locals. Always order gluten free fish and chips. Chips great as usual..1st time ever..fish was really dry. Overcooked or left in warmer? Terrible...and has put us off! Your usually spot on so maybe new staff?

Good service, our food came quickly and it was very fresh. Sadly, it came with skin on when we had asked before ordering if it did and was told no skin but maybe some small bones even though cares been taken to remove them. The little cafe was nice but unfortunately, for us, we didn’t enjoy the fish at all. Don’t like skin on fish and it was too oily. Great portion sizes though.

Had the sausage and chips the chip where dry asked for salt and vinegar don't think they put any on, chips looked and tasted like they been rewarmed up! Sausage was cheap meat last time it was very good and they was queuing out the door this time no-one was waiting tells you alot! The lady that served me was very slow !

3rd year visiting, great quality fish and chips with mushy peas, always friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Very pleased with their gluten free range. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food produced is consistently tasty!

Perfect as always thank you very much

They have changed owners since we last visited they still say that they do gluten free but be careful the food isn't gluten free my wife who is coeliac had 6 chips and a bite of sausage and she found bits of batter in amongst the chips and with the sausage aswell, it made her ill they are still serving supposedly gluten free from the same fryer as gluten products they got a sausage out from where they keep the rest of the food wrapped it up and put a gluten free sticker on it. So if you're looking for a nice gluten free chippy my advice would be find somewhere else as these will make you ill.

Excellent fish and chips possibly best in paington, good value and choice.

As always, prompt excellent service and superb quality food. Thank you very much

probably, the best fish I consumed in years.

Very Good Food in affordable price.

Perfect fish & chips , fast delivery, hot and delicious, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious as always one of our favourite chippys in the area.

Food was not marked which made it impossible to know what was Haddock what was Cod (nightmare for a gout sufferer!). The chips were cold, and tasteless with many shards instead of proper chips. Really really poor!

Great staff, brilliant customer service, wonderful good, love the side salad as a free addition nice touch 👍

Food turned up cold, ended up in the bin.

Ideal if you require a gluten free diet 😉. Always get our fish and chips 🍟 from here

I’ve had to write this review as the food from Mariners is out of this world 👌🏼. Ordered a delivery for 4 people, it arrived 25 minutes early and the delivery driver was very polite. The food was freshly cooked and piping hot - I had the mixed kebab, chips and a tray of salad and it has to be the best I’ve ever eaten, the flavours where stunning, not greasy at all like your normal kebab meat - this is the proper stuff !! The salad was fresh, very crisp and very tasty indeed. I would 100% highly recommend Mariners, we’ll definitely be back next week - best chip shop in the country 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Driver delivered wrong order but after phoning all sortd in 10 mins, food just as good as always

Great food & although order was early, that was great for us, & driver was efficient & helpful. would definitely use again. Thanks 👍🏻

Lovely tasting fresh food , fish tasted great and fresh , had a small problem phoned them and was sorted straight away no fuss great customer service will definitely be going again

Chicken wasn't great, but the fish was amazing

Excellent quality and large portions. I highly recommend this takeaway. Best takeaway in Paignton!

Has it changed owners? I was " disappointed " with quality etc ( of fish and chips" .

Never had a bad meal in there yet...the fish is beautiful...always white and fresh..service spot on..even do pensioners fish and chips..plenty to eat..

The portions for me and my wife were too big and these were small portions I ordered. The food was nice but just too much with nearly half a plate each thrown in the bin.

Delicious fish and chips. Our favourite.

Brilliant service , forgot something off our order but apologised and delivered our missing order super quick . So thank you for that and the food was delicious. See you again soon .

Very nice fish and chips,nice friendly staff.

always hot and fresh with quick delivery

fab food, friendly service. thanks!

One the the meals was supposed to be a chicken curry and I was just chips wirh pieces of chicken stuck between and my fish & chips were cold and the other meal was very poor tasting. Just generally an awful order all over.

Good chip shop, chips were nice and offer gluten free items.

Nice food, generous portions, clean seating area. Will certainly come back next time we are in the area.

Excellent once again. Beautiful fish and chips and friendly delivery driver.

This was rubbish. Fish and chips cost more than a tenner which is wrong for a start The chips were awful and the fish was raw.

Fast delivery, they paid attention to the special request of well done chips, hot on delivery and just perfect, thankyou!

Great food as always! Huge portions too.

Great place for fish and chips and you can have a cider with it

very fast delivery delivered early which was great. excellent quality hot and well cooked

The food was cold. I tried to heat it up but it didn’t taste very nice. So it went into the bin. A complete disappointment

Chips were not good.burgers were excellent

Lovely food and good service as always

chicken and batter wasn't cooked properly.

We have had many very nice meals from this fish and chips shop but tonight's was very disappointing, the chips were very dry and the fish was tasteless

Good size of the portions, still hot.

Absolutely perfect! Thank you very much

Was ill after having chicken kebab rang and was told there was no manger there to ring tomorrow

Lovely find tucked down a side street. Really delicious food and a lovely clean cafe attached to the fish shop where you get extras with your food such as a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce for a small increase in price. Will definitely be going back. Food delivery and an order and collect service available.

Food was delayed, but the restaurant was quick to respond and offer a discount. When it arrived, it was hot and tasty. Very happy overall.

We ordered fish and chips to be delivered to home.when it arrived the fish and chips were cold.The chips were all hard and the end scrapes of potatoes.we were really disappointed in the food.

burger was awful. far to much relish making it nearly inedible. shouldn't have to deconstruct it to scrape more of it off

Best fish and chips in Paignton pure white fish fresh chippy chips high recommended and well worth the money

Over priced and inedible. Cost £6.50 for cheesy chips and over half of them had to be thrown away as they were dry tasteless and overcooked. I had also asked for no salt and vinegar yet when I hot it home it was covered in salt. I had planned to buy a drink, but 500ml bottles of drink are £2.60 each. This is not my first visit, nor is it the first time I've had to throw my food away. Will not be using them again as it seems to get worse on each visit.

Great as usual. Best in Paignton.

Best in Torbay. All beautifully cooked - light & crispy batter, the small portion of chips is plenty for 2 people. Excellent service with a smile. We’ll be back! ❤️

Hot tasty good portions for the price

unfortunately the food was cold. even though it was early. which was fine

We have had take away fish and chips in the past, always lovely. Visited on the first night they opened from the xmas / new year holiday. Large "COD" (Cod ?) was thin and batter white and soggy. Not usually what we have had in the past.

when calling up as a mix up with our order there wasn't a sorry and the caller was very blunt! we waited nearly a hour with no sign of replacement absolutely shocking service.

What can we say! You’ve gone from a 10 to a 1! Fish dry, batter so thick and undercooked, peas no flavour! £30 wasted 🤬

One of the best chip shops in Torbay.. lovely

The food arrived early. Superb quality that you would expect from this brilliant place. and it was hot - and plenty of it .

After eating at another local chip shop earlier on in our holiday, this place was quite disappointing. Huge portions but chips were soggy so ruined it for us. Probably wouldn’t go back

Amazing food! Can’t thank them enough for doing such a good job with the Gluten Free menu

Lovely fish and chips. The piece of cod i had was huge!

Food was as always very good. Fish was -perfect

Best fish and chips ever. Was so good many will definitely be ordering again soon

Very tasty food, delivery driver was friendly. Very happy overall.

Great service, good fish, and chip could be better if plates were warm on a cold day when dining in.

Very generous portion, red hot super tasty best in the bay!

Had takeaway and dined in. Food is faultless. Perfect chips every time. All the staff are absolutely brilliant and friendly. Far better than the other local chippy always make customers feel welcome. Highly recommended definitely be going again.

Awesome food as always and piping hot with fast delivery

Really nice food from here you won't be disappointed staff are really nice and friendly place is clean and tidy love the fish and chips 100% well done to the mariners

Food was great and the delivery was amazing.

I wasn't aware that it was a collection only I assumed all on just eat are delivery my bad. The person in the restaurant could have been more polite he was quite shouty and unempathetic to my error.

Always good food, quick delivery.

Ordered food at 530pm for 7pm the food was 10 min late. Parts if the meal were barely warm. If I am honest it felt like it was left to one side to stay warm.

I have never ordered from here and it was amazing. Even delivered, it was fresh and the fish was delicious. I will recommend this place, it’s difficult to find a good chippy! Thank you :)

I had gluten free sausage in batter, chips & curry sauce. It was absolutely delicious, the best I have tasted. My partner had burger & chips and said his was really good and my Mum had savaloy & chips and said hers was the best she had eaten in a long time. The shop is always clean and the staff are friendly. I just wish we lived closer as we come from Southend-on-Sea

It's Deffo changed hands although the food Is okay, it's not nearly as nice and portion size to previous owners. You have to go to London fryer or Brixham to get what is acceptable as fish and chips now very sad

Meals are large even though brought as small loverly food nice people

Delicious food, delivered quickly

Fat needs changing, over priced skin on fish . We sat in to eat ,no atmosphere, wouldn’t eat here again. Disappointed

Delivery drivers need ro press the bell that 2 times now won't bother for a third time

Needed food quick and got exactly that. Added salt and vinegar, but so much salt my tongue hurts and couldn't eat it all. Recommend not selecting salt and vinegar and adding it at home.

Fantastic service! Delicious food in generous portions. Delivered on time by a lovely chap. 100% recommend.

A bit of a wait but cooked as you ordered so not surprised lovely food good portion price about right for where it is will be going back when we're down there again

As a gluten free chip lover I am always underwhelmed by the lack of decent options. However pleased to say Mariner's was fantastic. Lovely crunchy GF batter and decent chips. We arrived late but they still catered fir ne. Wild highly recommend!

Excellent food and great service

Nothing like the smell and taste of good fish and chips
