The food was lovely, would have been nice to receive the correct order. The service was unfortunately diabolical, the lady with coloured hair just couldn't butt out and kept interrupting and unnecessarily correcting the other lady serving me. This resulted in my order being confused no less than 4 times, and she was still doing it when bagging the order so when I got to the caravan, I was missing a meal. If one person would have just listened and taken my order correctly instead of arguing with each other, then the service wouldn't have got zero stars. Try writing the order down and one person to one customer might help. Sorry Paul, the food was great & well cooked just let down by crappy service.

What the hell are battered chips all about, must be a local delicacy! (definatley not something we have 'up North) Which I will not be partaking of again. They could ask if you want battered chips! Fish was Nice tho'

Came here for the battered chips as do many people. Really crispy and very filling. The orange coloured crispy haddock is also very filling. Not my favourite chippy but a great choice for us for a bag of chips.

I usually go out of my way to get fish and chips from Paul's. Many years of great tasty food. Cooked and fresh But last evening I ordered twocodand large portion of chips. Took it home anticipating a delight. But the chips were extremely poor. At least 80 %was batter scraps and what chips were there were dry and poor quality a and dregs.

Paul’s Plaice is the best Fish & Chips I’ve ever eaten hands down! The chips are absolutely amazing, beer battered and cooked to perfection as is the Haddock. Let’s not forget the mushy peas. Would highly recommend Paul’s Plaice as the best Fish and Chips in the Bay!!

Omg....luminous orange batter over everything including the chips! So much so even the very small cod within was stained orange..anf at a whopping 8.75 it was pretty tasteless too. The worst thing though was the service.. I went in after a shift at the hospital in my uniform. The server looked me up and down and gave me as filthy a look as her hands were before I even got to the counter. Not a please or a thank you in sight. Clearly got a 'chip' on her shoulder (pun intended) with the NHS. Save your money, there are significantly better places to be insulted in, in Torquay.

Chips were disgusting, not even a third of them were edible due to green and black chips. The fella behind the till was friendly enough but i can honestly say that in my 50 years of gracing this planet, this has got to be the worst ever food from a chippy i have ever experienced. Shame, but true

I wish I read the reviews before going here, but it was just a convenience whilst on holiday. Why have they decided to cover their chips in batter, the only thing I believe it adds to them is the ability to hold more grease, the paper was drenched with it when we plated the food up. As far as I'm aware there were no obvious signs to say they were covered in batter. Another issue was they were cash only, not sure if it was just last night or if its a permanent thing, it was lucky I carry some hidden away cash on me. The staff were friendly.

Used to be a nice fish and chip shop. Tonight the staff were not the usual staff, very unfriendly, said they close at 20:45 so not cooking more food (just after 20:30). Therefore, unable to get anything. They then left at 20:55 with their own food. I assume they have been taken over or just employ poor staff now? Also, apparently shut at 20:00 on a Saturday? Really? Shame, wont be going back there.

Really tasty fish and chips. Chips had an interesting batter on them which made them quite unique to other chippy's I've been too. Was busy with a line of people outside which is a good indicator of its popularilty.
