Morrish's Fish Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My family and i visited here last night and i was very disappointed no gf option despite after googling 'gluten free fish and chips' and Morrish being named as offering this option. This was also supported with reviews of how good this was. Morrish need to make it clear they no longer offer this option to avoid further customers disappointment.

The best fish and chips I've had in a long time...fish was flakey and melted in your mouth,batter light and crispy..I ordered the small plate haddock,chips amd Cury sauce was more like the size of a standard.will deffo be back...

Ordered vegan chips-they were not what I expected and seemed to be oven cooked fries. Thin, dry and luke warm. Regular chips were cold and soggy. Burger had no sauce and tasted dry. Had to wait longer than expected with no apology. Not recommended.

After waiting half an hour for our food we travelled back to our granddaughters place in Scorrier to find the order was incomplete after travelling all the way back to there with now cold food due to the incomplete order we were simply told they would redo the order but nothing in way of compensation strongly suggest you avoid this place as I had to travel back at my expense due to their mess up

Stopped on way to our holiday cottage for some lunch to bring back. Ordered scampi and chips twice costing over 20.00. It was advertised as being with tartar sauce. Once back opened boxes no tartare sauce in either scampi ok and hot chips were cold not even like warm! The chips were also like the dredgers from the bottom of the fryer all small and hard, and had obviously bee laying around for ages to be so cold. Very angry as felt ripped off. Our local chippy at home does the same but butter for 15.00!

Visited this evening for the first time after a couple of recommendations we chose to have a takeaway as car park was pretty full. Chips were pale and soggy. Sausages were disgusting no taste and dripping with oil totally inedible. Mushy peas were a solid block not mushy at all. Will NOT be returning.

Brilliant food and friendly Staff. They did so well on providing great service with only two members of staff serving the restaurant side. Highly recommend. Food was very good and decent prices.

We placed a take away order for collection. We were given a 5 minute window to collect our order. I made it in time, told them I was there for collection and they said “we’ll get that ready for you now”. Surely that time frame was for collection and the order should have been ready? I was then asked if I wanted salt and vinegar (despite this being stipulated on the order which items were to include). When I got it home we were missing the fish cake. Food was okay but not great. Service poor due to the order not being ready and missing something we had paid for, leaving my family disappointed they didn’t get their things. I emailed but didn’t get a response.

Well very surprised it’s been years since I’ve been here and we are extremely impressed, really good service, excellent. Food, highly recommend!

It wasn't busy at all 6 tables seated at most, told to take a seat in restaurant, waited 20 minutes or more for the waitress to come over, she first went to a table who came in after us, they told her we were there first, she did take our order of fish & chips & a pot of tea..then disappeared again, came back 10 minutes later with the tea, in the mean time she had taken the other tables meal order, we waited another 15 minutes for our meal, tea was cold, no extra hot water pot, she then served the table that came in after us their meals, so we got up & left, I went to pay for the tea on way out & the same waitress wanted to charge us for our meals, hardly busy to not realise she hadn't served us, I said sorry we have to go, very slow service, have to make an appointment, no apology..£4.90 for a pot of tea we didn't drink as we wanted to save it for our meal..never again

Been a few times I also go in July when we holiday in cornwall. Staff are really friendly, food is lovely and just the right portion size. What's also great is they allow dogs, as long as the well behaved and not causing a problem Looking forward to going back

Chips very dry no taste. Even with salt and vinegar. Add no taste. This is a shame . As I was looking forward to them . But not again

I wanted to take my extended family, who were visiting Cornwall, to a nice fish and chip shop before their long drive home. I have recently had to go gluten free and luckily have not had to miss out on get togethers with my friends as I found out Morrish’s had some very nice gluten free options. However, last night I found out that they have had to stop offering this due to various reasons and sadly their whole menu appeared to be more limited for vegetarian/vegan options which they also used to offer. I know you go to a fish restaurant primarily for fish and chips but there are a lot more people choosing either a plant based diet or have food intolerances who would still like to go for meals with family who enjoy fish and chips. My family felt very guilty about eating when there was nothing on the menu I could have but I insisted that they ordered. To be fair they enjoyed their meals but if you are gluten free and visiting Cornwall I can recommend Mariners in Penryn and Port and Starboard in Indian Queens for very good gluten free options. For locals I have seen that Darren’s in Redruth offer gluten free but isn’t a restaurant but I’ll be popping in to give it a try.

I left a similar review previously and the reply offered a promise to change. This is a follow-up review to say nothing has changed. The food is still average, but that’s not the issue, the ongoing issue is the online ordering service. I don’t understand why you still have an online ordering service, it doesn’t work, it hasn’t worked for ages. I ordered this evening for a 6:00 to 605 slot arriving at 6 o’clock by 6:10 I gave up and came in and my order was nowhere near the front of the queue. I left at 6:15 with my order. Just accept your system doesn’t work and scrap it.

Tonight I sent my son to get us a large portion of chips as a side dish to go with chicken for our tea. I was shocked when he returned with this (photo attached) how can you call this a large portion of chips worth £4.20

Visiting from Canada went for dinner we had fish and chips was fantastic , the banana milkshake I had was tasty Service was fantastic , dinner came quickly and staff was attentive Sadly it’s too far from Canada to frequent the restaurant but when I return will have another meal there

Even with the McDonald's style order station service was not particularly fast Expensive and distinctly average quality Much better close by

Arrived in pouring rain, parked and the wife and I ran into the restaurant in the hope we could get a table and a bite to eat. We have eaten here before, many times years ago, and again last year when I posted a review of our experience at that time. We were greeted by a charming young lady who showed us to a table, gave us menus and seemingly continued preparing for the evening service. She took our order, our meals turning up in good time, freshly cooked and piping hot. Personally I love traditional Cod and Chips, and what was put in front of both the wife and I were certainly that. Lovely chunky white cod, chips with that 'traditional' flavour but not dripping in grease, a real tasty pot of tea for two...........Ansum. I speak as I find, and reading some of the previous comments wonder if we visited the same venue. Our meals were nothing short of perfection, and the service.....faultless, even to the point of my passing a well deserved tip to our waitress, being politely informed all staff share tips and that there was a collection pot on the counter, so fair play to you maid. We have eaten in other Fish and Chip Restaurants, even cafes in Cornwall where a 'discretionary' service charge is added to your bill, most in my experience not really deserved but if I've enjoyed my evening and the meal is decent, then Hey Ho, why not. As regards our visit to Morrishs' on this occasion I can only compliment the staff in entirety. Great work guys, congratulations on a job well done.

We go to Morrishes on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoy it, but it would seem they are aiming more now towards the holiday maker, and pricing locals out completely with fish & chips at nearly £16.00 if you sit in, maybe they think they are on a parr with Rick Stein? very disappointing, unfortunately we won't be going there in the near future as other fish restaurants are way cheaper, and taste just as good. I appreciate the cost of living has risen for everyone, but to put prices up by that amount is truly dissappointing.

Normally I would pick up the positives to the negatives but I can’t on this visit. When entering we was greeted by 2 girls one who was talking about her night with the manager in the staff room and one that was just listening they finally stopped talking and seated us where we had been forgotten about and so many dirty plates around us, it was a quiet evening and when asking if i cod have a baked cod I was told no straight away which I explained I come in alot and normally they say let me check so the family all had nice meals and I just had chips when leaving we mentioned that private life shouldn’t be spoken about around customers where the waitress called us a liar to my face. I will not be returning back to her anytime soon and I hope she has a lovely time with the manager in the staff room which is located to the right by where we was sat

We passed this shop and thought a nice supper to take home. Went into the shop and there was a touch screen order machine which we used. One chips, battered sausage, curry sauce and pea fritter. My partner is a vegetarian so thought it would be okay. As I paid for the order she noticed a notice that said everything was cooked in beef dripping. We asked if we could cancel the order - no was the answer. Could the pea fritter be cooked as a vege option - again no. All they could do was split the chips so we had one normal and one veggie. Not helpful and the owner wouldn’t come and talk just passed info through one of the girls. Not impressed as it would have been very easy to refund and change the order! Charged 25p to split the chips for an extra box.

Lovely non greasy fish and chips. Best fish and chips in Cornwall and a great place for the family well worth a visit. Staff just as lovely

Driving back to my digs in Newquay from Helston about half way on Buckett’s Hill I drive into an amazing take away called Morrish’s Fish Restaurant And Takeaway. The Server Finn was Very polite and rapidly got my order together, great for his second shift! And the food was delicious would top a domino’s or kebab house any day of the week.. 🤤👌🏁🏁 +++++*****

I had large cod and chips plus peas. 3 small plates, chicken nuggets and 2 x fish and chips. We dined in. Lovely restaurant clean and the server was lovely. Had fantastic experience. The fish I had was fresh flaky and beautiful. Its tough time s for fish and chip shops but we had a great meal for just over £40. I haven't posted much recently but have eaten out regularly. This is by far the best fish and chips I've had in Cornwall since coming home 2 years ago and beats anything I've had in Falmouth recently

We have been hearing about Morrish's for years, and now that we actually live in Redruth it was surely time to give them a try. Friendly staff, efficient ordering, freshly cooked, and at £9,50 for F&C I thought it was good value for this day and age. I have seen them far more expensive in other locations in Cornwall. Everything was well cooked and piping hot, take away on this occasion although I noted there was a restaurant section too. We couldn't finish all our chips, which tells you all you need to know, as it is rare I cannot polish the lot off! Will certainly return.

Visited last Thursday as had been fancying fish and chips all week and they did not disappoint! Beautiful batter and chips cooked lovely. Great job by the lady cooking that day 🐠

Can't believe the cost of fish and chips. Large chips box now half the size it was 2 months ago. To add insult to injury, no salt and vinegar in bag, had to go back in and ask. Won't be visiting again

We came in with myself, my husband and my dad and our family dog, the service was amazing we had a lovely waitress called Zarnah (I’m not sure if this is the correct spelling) who was polite, efficient and was always smiling she managed to...

We had placed our order for 17.35 and it wasn’t ready until 17.55. When we got home we realised that there were no mushy peas which was rather annoying.

When entering the restaurant we was greeted by young lady who was very polite and was talking to us about the restaurant and about the weather, she made us feel welcome then it went downhill from there, another lady came to take our order who...

The restaurant was clean and modern. The staff really friendly and helpful, found us a table, even though they were busy and it was only twenty minutes before closing. The food was hot, plentiful, freshly cooked and very tasty. It was also a bonus to...

Food is okay but don’t order online and expect it to arrive when you ordered it for. They give you a five minute slot and then when it’s 10 minutes late don’t even apologise.

I don’t normally put reviews online as I thought it is just a waste of time but this restaurant is worth every minute spent putting this review out. They are highly recommended. Staff are lovely from the host to the servers. Genuine smile will greet...

We visited here on our last night in Redruth after a recommendation and weren’t disappointed. Friendly staff and quick service. The food was lovely and big portions. Highly recommend

We went for an evening meal. The food was very good. The Staff were very friendly & efficient. The decor was modern but not cosy.

We had the takeaway. The fish was delicious, as were the chips. The price is not cheap (medium fish £6.40, chips £2.75) but I hear that chippie costs have increased. It was good food though.

When we came in we were greeted very rudely by a woman behind the counter. we hadn't booked and she told us she was very busy and we should've called (less than half the tables were full at this point. a far cry from busy)....

Unsanitary conditions and poor staff. Dead flies over the counter which just shows how seriously they take hygiene 😒 staff didn't look like they wanted to be there and were unenthusiastic yet were totally fine with chatting to one another. Food was decent I suppose...

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had they were so tasty they did amazing dessert the staff were brilliant they were very kind and very polite

1st time my family have bought from here for a long time, the new Kraken burger is way smaller than it looks in the picture, and not one of us family of five enjoyed the chips at all

Lovely fish and chips in a lovely clean restaurant. Lots of seating areas with a good reasonable priced menu. Staff are so friendly to. Will visit again on our next trip down to Cornwall.

Served raw fish and when complained to chef was told it wasn’t raw and the only thing they could do was offer a replacement (which why would they do, if it wasn’t raw??).. upon paying was told nothing would be taken off the bill and...

The last time my wife and I visited this venue was before we were married, almost 40 years ago. Morrish's had a reputation back then for good quality Fish and Chips, so as we were in the area we decided a visit for lunch would...

The food was amazing, also the service was great. We came in with our children ten minutes before they were closing after lunch service and we were still able to sit in the dinning room and enjoy our food. All of our meals were delicious,...

The best fish and chips I've had in many a year! The staff were friendly and catered for our large party efficiently and patiently. The food was really delicious, fish so fresh you could smell the sea. I had Haddock which was moist and meaty...

I took a friend to Morrishes for a treat.We ended with lukewarm haddock which was not a full fillet it was dried out mostly inedible. I complained to the waitress who reported to the Boss. She came back with bill and said the boss wasn't...

I think I visited the same night as Mrs Woodley. Same situation 6.00 order but took ages to come. However we've been using the service all the way through lockdown and have see how hard these people work. I'm sure like most food/bars in Cornwall...

Always get fish & chips from here, parking on site and also option to dine in, been coming for years and never fails.

Disgusting service. I pre ordered a takeaway for 18.00 hrs, where I was left sat in the car park for 40 minutes, whilst other's were arriving and collecting there orders in front of me. When enquiring where my order was, I was told "I don't...

EXcellent restaurant serving well cooked food, efficient and friendly staff. The restaurant is very clean and wellspaced for social distancing and the food served is excellent

After visiting this chip shop the food was rank,the prices have been hiked up and the staff are quite rude,we wont be going back,and to be quite honest they’re a disgrace to the fish and chip industry. 2xjumbo sausages plain+ 2xstandard cod and a large...

So we had Grandparents over and decided on a last night treat Fish and Chips. We used the app to order all the food and it worked really well. Times lot was 5:45pm collection, waited about 10 minutes more but the place was heaving with...

Have been a regular visitor over the years to this cracking fish and chips shop.. The food is always top quality. Ali is master of her craft and service is always with a smile!!! Would highly recommend.

We visited this restaurant to ask about allergens before we booked. We asked for the allergy menu 10 mins later the lady who was unbelievably rude came back and say they couldn’t find it. We suggested she may like to ask the chef, she came...

Stopped off after shopping for a snack .Lovely chips,brought out to the car by a lovely young lady called Maisy . All very covid friendly .

Best cod & chips I’ve ever had Batter was unbelievable great portions Would recommend to anyone visiting the area

I have visited this fish and chip shop many times, went thete last night at about 7.45 orderd battered sausage and chips, and plain sausage and chips. The order came out really quickly my partner commented that he thought it would of been longer as...

We often travel down on a Friday morning and look forward to a visit to the restaurant that evening. Excellent fish and chips…huge portions, and always freshly cooked. The haddock is to die for.

Food cooked fresh to order so may have 10 mins or so wait. All nice and clean and food fresh and tasty.

Ordered at 6pm. Simple order of 3 kids sausage and chips and 2adults fish and chips. Friend travelling with ordered just before us. Waited for 35 mins and friends order came to car. 25 mins later (after two phone calls and by which time her...

This was a first for us, we have ordered on average once a week for over a year and on the 8th May 2021 we did the same for collection. Wow the chips were stale like they had been left for ages and the pieces...

Recently visited Morrishes, food and service fantastic large portions all cooked to perfection 10/10.

We have used Morish's on many occasions over the lock downs but after last time never again .We placed a telephone order in 5.45 and were told to collect waiting in the car at given a time to collect 6.10. Many people came after this...

Lovely food, would recommend! Lovely staff on the phone, I think she said she was called Abbie! Ordered online and brought out to the car.

Regularly have take away always delicious, great menu, the app works brilliantly and the service always on time. Would definitely recommend for any coeliac the gluten free batter is the best!

Up until this experience, really good, but... telephoned order in, repeated order twice as person taking it didn't seem to be listening and I was proven right. I ordered 24 hours in advance, as I always do, went to collect and told I was a...

Ordered fish and chips this evening using your app which was so easy to use! The food was brought out to our car promptly at the time we selected. The order itself was piping hot, very plentiful and exceptional quality! Compliments to the chef who...

My wife and I visited Morrish's for lunch on Saturday and how lovely it was! The restaurant and toilet facilities were spotlessly clean with the tables set out to meet the Covid19 social distancing requirements. The staff were dressed to protect both themselves and the...

Visited today, the first day out of lockdown. The cod and chips was awesome. The coffee was brewed to perfection. We were served by Angela. Service with a smile as always. Restaurant was spotless and their Covid measures are strictly enforced. It made us feel safe. Thank you.

Usually very good but on 17/11/20 was really poor, taste was horrible, everything was just wrong, greasy odd taste, might try somewhere else for a while, not paying for that again.

Chose to go hear again as Lanner chip shop is closed on a Monday. Just ordered 2 portions of chips. Not a single polite word from the staff who took the order. After waiting for the chips to be brought to my car for over 20 minutes went back in to find my order sitting on the side. No apology. Next time instead of waiting 20 minutes for chips will use the time to drive to a good chip shop like cousin jacks in pengegon.

Been isolating for so long, decided to get take-away from Morrish's. On arrival, we checked out the restaurant and it appeared so organised and safety conscious, that we ate in instead. It was great, felt really safe and protected. Angela, our waitress, made sure that everything was done by the rules. Been 3 times now, and will continue to visit places that make us feel safe. Well done, Morrish's.

While visiting the local area last week, we popped into Morrish's for a take-away fish supper. The fish (both cod & haddock) were excellent, the batter was lovely and crispy and the chips were great. Perhaps just one tiny criticism; the mushy peas were a little bit runny for my taste but apart from that, definitely a five star meal. The service was quick and efficient and their way of dealing with the Covid situation was well thought out, taking your car number when you order and promptly bringing the meal out to you in the spacious car park. All in all, a nice experience and one I'd happily repeat.

Dropped in for a sit down meal. Staff member was very helpful and polite. At present most of their customers are take away, ordering from their cars, then having their orders brought out to them. Very pleasant decor inside. Recommend.

Disappointing visit here for a fish and chip night.Nice main restaurant but we were stuck in a depressing side room with no ambience.The waitresses seemed very stressed, we ordered our drinks but had to repeatedly ask for them before they arrived midway through our meal.Fish and chips were ok but quite expensive.

During Covid; Order placed and food brought to car in card trays and bag. Staff very helpful and excellent service

It is always a real treat to go for lunch at Morrish's even more so today after months of lock down, all the appropriate Covid safety measures are in place and knowing we were being kept safe made the food taste even better than ever. Thank you to Angela and the team for looking after us so well.

Great Service and Exquisitely fried. The staff were friendly and organised, and made eating out in this Uncertain time an absolute delight! I will most certainly be returning.

Visited today with my family and we were all really impressed with our meals! It was delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection, really generous portions and super organised. The system of bringing to food directly to the car was running really smoothly. Well done to all the staff in today, brilliant food and service!

The food was amazing and our waitress Niamh was so happy and nothing was too much trouble. Lots of cheese on the chips aswell!

We ordered fish and chips to be delivered to our car. Cannot say enough positive things about the young lady that took our order nor the young man who delivered to our car. Both had excellent customer service skills. The food was excellent as well, whole experience, very positive.

Booked a table in the restaurant for 4.30. Restaurant was spotless and very smart. COVID 19 regulations strictly adhered to and good to see the staff wearing masks.Served by friendly and attentive staff. Food served quickly and it was piping hot and of a good portion size. Ordered cod and chips x2 and it was very tasty, the fish was superb. Dessert if you have room for one was great to. We had chocolate fudge cake and treacle sponge. Massive portions and the sponge was the best I’ve had in any restaurant as was the custard. Great value meal particularly having used the government 50% off deal. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We took advantage of the eat out offer but would go again lovely staff very clean and atmosphere all COVID rules being applied felt safe and comfortable food was excellent freshly cooked 5 stars

Clean place very friendly staff (Angela and Abi) nice food. Value for money for an eat-in meal. Good choice from the menu also.

I’ve not visited for over and year and the food is still great with friendly staff. They’ve started a new deliver to car service as well which worked really well!

Fantastic food,especially the cod, served hot and relatively quickly! Restaurant seemed very under-staffed, meaning they didn't take our order for a good while when we'd sat down and we didn't receive our drinks until long after the food was served. This is no disrespect to the staff, they were lovely, they were just under too much pressure for the over booked restaurant!

We ordered a take online and were very impressed with the service. We arrived a little bit before the time be had booked. We waited in the car for a few minutes and our order was delivered to the car. The food was still hot when we arrived home and because the fish and chips were in cardboard boxes they had not gone soggy and were still crispy. Fish was slightly dry but still definitely the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long while.

Been a regular visitor for many years. Post 'lockdown' thought I'd pay a visit. Decided to order a large cod, small chips and peas. Was staggered to discover that it came to a whopping £10.80p (not sure what I was expected to eat it with, nothing was supplied, luckily I had an old wooden fork kicking around in my vehicle. At those prices I was expecting it to becdelivered on a silver platter with cutlery!) With regular cod retailing at £4.95 and large cod a whopping £7.25, I really struggled to see how they could justify the hike in price as the 'large' cod was very similar in size to the 'regular' pieces I've had in the past. Very disappointing. Needless to say, I wont be going back and will take my custom, in future, elsewhere.

Ordered from online menu to pick up at specified time. Arrived at the time we chose and was delicious. Also pleased to see recyclable / combustible cartons and packaging too! By providing car reg order delivered to car window. All very straightforward. Highly recommend.

Large cod 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3 large cod & chips were part of a 6 person order and when the large cod boxes were opened it was clear to see that they have been on a strict diet......😢😢

Rude staff. The way the lady behind the counter spoke to me this evening was enough to put me off for life. I only wanted sausage and chips.

Superb excellent on the way home from watching Argyle . Nicola and I love the fish . I always have Plaice and mushy peas

Excellent fish chips service and not too long to wait . Mushy peas good as well . Would recommend a visit

This fish and chips changed my sole. What a plaice. The food is reely amazing. I'd happily eat an entire boatload. I had a whale of a time. Definitely worth having a trawl through the diverse menu and mullet over. I'm a huge fin of this estabfishment. There is nothing fishy about their service, it is turbot charged. You shoald definitely come and sea for yourself. There is no debait, it's the best fish and chips I've haddock. You won't get batter.

Looking forward to fish and chips and to be honest I haven’t been to Morrish for a few years but they were always nice. This time they were terrible fish was dry chips were insipid and the mushy peas far to sweet and dry !!! Also dearer then anywhere else I’ve been

My wife and I fancied a takeaway on a Sunday night and we were not disappointed. The fish and chips were great also the half pound burger. Very little wait on a busy night.

We had lunch in the restaurant, the food was lovely (pricey though) but well worth it. Huge portions :) I had the best strawberry milkshake ever, try it £3... you won’t be disappointed.
