£41 spent here on just eat and Things missing from order and kids portions!!! You get more for your money at McDonald's!! Fish is not a regular and very small and also chewy which indicates frozen fish. Avoid this place and spend your money on somewhere more upmarket like KFC or McDonald's. At least at McDonald's your Filet-o-fish will ten times more likely be fresher than the garbage these guys sell!! You will definitely get more chips from there. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Vile, never again and reported to trading standards.

Good food, friendly service. Parking outside a pain, often easier to park elsewhere & walk a couple of minutes. Often a bit of a wait where it's popular, and not the cheapest around, but it's worth it and the portions are good. Super jumbo sausage in batter to be recommended!

This is are go to Chippy, for fish bites chips and curry. Unfortunately the curry sauce has gone down hill . It’s no longer a sauce thick lumpy and tastes and texture of curry powder that’s not been absorbed. We did complain on our next visit but to be honest fell on deaf ears, with no offer of a free replacement. Felt disappointed ☹️ by the response from the young lady. Otherwise we always enjoy!

Friendly staff. Portion size was good. But the batter on the fish wasn't quite cooked. It was still wet and soggy on one side. Shame as what I did uave of the fish was really nice. The batter was light and crispy.

Batter soggy & chips cold with lots of bits rather then whole chips. - The first mouthful had a hair on it...be a good idea if all staff ware a hat not just those that feel like it. I'd personally rate this fish bar as the worst in Exeter . Standards in all areas require vast improvement. Naturally it's disappointing as this was once a good take away...

Been getting fish and Chips here for years and always found it exceptionally good. This evening 4/12/23 the large fish and chips I took home was less than satisfactory. This fish batter was very pale in colour and extremely soft and soggy. The chips also very limp and all stuck together. Got the impression it had all been kept in the hot cabinet for too long. I will think twice about returning.

Great food as always but server tonight was incredibly rude, mumbling about customers and announcing to waiting customers that they only get paid £7per hour so we need to learn to be kinder even though no one had been rude. Not professional at all and an embarrassment to the business. Hope we have a better experience if we visit again.

Sadly - not too good. The person serving was keen but - I asked for 3 cod n chips and when we unpacked it on arrival at home - had 2 cod and bizarrely 1 portion of scampi?? Chips were on the “cool” side and dry. Reckon they had been sat in the pass for too long. Shame - we were really looking forward to it!! Shan’t go there again.

Just had a take away from there for four of us and it was really poor. Have eaten from there before but as my local chip shop was closed we had no choice rather than go here which is a fair bit dearer. The chips were of a sort of tough consistency like they had been sitting for a while and tasted of the fat they were cooked in, cod was nice and of a decent size. As I said have eaten here before but not for a couple of years. Disappointing.

I tried ringing the shop 50 times but no answer… I have had to have toast for my tea the customer service is shocking to say the least. The food that arrived was cold and the fish was under cooked. I hope I get a refund for the food that didn’t arrive. Getting a takeaway is supposed to be hassle free…. This is anything but. Will not be ordering from here again

Awful service I ordered 2 portions of chips and waited 25 minutes for my order whilst they prioritised external orders who weren’t even there to pick up their order and waited for fish to fry and burgers to cook in the meantime. The man behind the counter just watched the girls work and yelled at them in front of customers it was a very unpleasant experience! Would not return.

Disgraceful, felt so sorry for the young lady behind the counter who was trying her best only to be let down by the ‘fryers’, waited ageas to find out they didn’t have the chicken to fill the order, and then to also find out they had forgotten to put in the chicken nuggets - when received they were solid as rocks! The batter on the fish was soggy and not much meat on the once bit of chicken received.

And they girl serving was clueless!!! There was only one person walk in in front of me when I arrived.

So disappointed with the service, please make sure you serve customers in the correct order and keep the food in the heater until it is all ready. When my order was ready apart from one item that they gave to a customer who ordered 10 mins after me, I had to wait for another 10 minutes for more food to be cooked so they left the rest of my order in the bag on the side, to get cold. Sorry but this is definitely not good customer service.But the food when hot is the best in Exeter.

24th July 2021. Went to the chip shop around 8:30 in the evening when it was quiet with a couple of people queuing. Ordered two meals: chips & scampi and chips & fish bites. When it was ready, the assistant seemed to put only three packages in the carrier bag so I double-checked with him that he'd put everything in. He assured me he had. When I got home I discovered I was right and he hadn't put the fish bites in. By this time it was almost closing time so I phoned them. No one picked up so I left a recorded message with my number. They never called back. The food might be award winning, but the service ain't! No real channel for complaints, but there is if you want to give them rave reviews!
