Scoffs in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food it lovely always but as always service is disappointing and so poor. We are local and do spend money here and each time the management is terrible. Shouting at their staff and the lady 3 times I have ordered a takeaway for 5 of us I have had an eye roll from the younger woman running it. This time she sighed rolled her eyes then said give 5 minutes. I even asked the man taking my order was that okay!! I then got told 5 minutes later they only had 1 battered sausage after paying and waiting. I got another eye roll from the older man on the till and another sight, WOW!! Calm down and sort out your customer service you are so very rude always. Disgusting treatment for good local customers. Won’t be back this time too many times now. Rude management and most of the staff. Shouldn’t be allowed!

Traditional Yorkshire fish and chips! Wow these chips are battered and cooked in beef dripping! The taste is incredible, been here a few times, always got to have a small cone of chips whilst walking down the High Street!

Fabulous place to eat, value for money and good portion sizes, friendly staff gets very busy, takeaway or eat in, quick service and food cooked fresh with plenty of choice on the menu.

I reckon thats the best fish n chips I have had, and Ive had a few... If you dont visit Paignton for anyother reason, then this place is reason enough

Went today to have dinner with family before driving home after a lovely day out, our two youngest wont eat fish and chips so had got them something else from a local company, despite planning to order 3 adult meals to eat in we were told the two young ones couldnt eat their food with us and so we went to order take out only to find take out is cash only which to me stinks of a tax dodge and undeclared income.... having said we only had card we were made to feel like idiots so drove home to have dinner there an annoying end to a lovely day

Good fish and chips with fast and friendly service

We have ordered two portions of chips, they were absolutely disgusting covered in greasy batter from other fried food. Probably was fried in old oil too. Cash only, no cash machines around either so had to walk a good distance to get cash for horrible chips. Disappointing

I don’t know where to begin. The older guy and son? Look filthy with batter splattered down their aprons. The woman on the counter seems to be more pro-active in asking customers if they want fish cooking. The two other zombies just grunt to one another.. and toil away making bright orange ‘chips’ that will leave your mouth and lips feeling rather odd and slimy. Maybe they think they have some winning formula or something with their agent orange batter? Never going again, felt ill all evening afterwards, it’s places like Scoffs that bring this great seaside town down. AVOID.

Best chips around even better than the good old Yorkshire chips Well worth a visit if your a chip lover like me x

Clean,tasty fries, excellent fish, good service.

Presentation of food was lovely and genuinely looked really nice only reason it deserves a 1 star but had a sausage and chips not a hard meal to mess up but was absolutely rancid batter was undercooked and rubbery sausage meat tasted horrible no flavour whatsoever chips were nothing special either mainly just the crunchy end bits almost tasted like they had been soaked in margarine wouldn’t recommend in the slightest many other better places in the area very disappointed

Had visited on reccomdation from a friend. Absolutely will not recommend to anyone else. Fish and chips although looked appetising was infact rancid. Never had a worse meal. Myself and my family were really disappointed also customer service was pretty average felt rushed when the place was empty withing 10 seconds asking of entering the business they were asking what we want whilst they could see we were looking at menu AVOID! Because I wish i had many other great food businesses in the area

Great service The chips are the best ever We have probably been here most days ❤️

Very good food and the staff are brilliant . The staff are very friendly, happy, and very helpful. The food is great.

One of the best fish and chip shops I visited. Food was amazing and decent price. Whenever we go on holiday to Devon we go to Paignton quite a lot and always we always make sure we get fish and chips here.

Kicked me out whilst I’m pregnant in the heat to eat my food and wasn’t allowed to sit in and they didn’t even ask if we wanted to sit in or take away not a way to treat someone plus the chips taste absolutely horrible and soggy never going here again if I could I wouldn’t give any stars

Best chip shop in Devon absolutely amazing and the staff and service is fantastic

Great staff lovely tasty food 😋 enjoyed my meal thanks to the staff

Excellent Service, Excellent Food, Excellent Price. Nothing more needs to be said.

Beautiful fish and chips. Very busy place but worth visiting. Happy days.

Called in walking past for some chips. They were huge like jenga bricks, bright orange, and seemed to have some crispy coating on them. Maybe was just us as lots of good reviews on here, but neither myself nor my wife liked them at all. The following morning they also stained the toilet bowl orange.

10 out of 10 .. loved the food .. proper fish and chips .. chips were cooked just right

charged me wrong and made me pay a pound extra, told server she was charging me wrong and was dismissed and made to pay. Only to recive a sprinkle of cheese. Not impressed!!!!!

Busy popular location, great friendly staff -fish and Yorkshire chips! Great, hot and fresh, cash only, do sit in and take away service

I enjoy these chips every time I visit paignton if I can. Love the meal and have a good chat to the friendly staff, cheers guys ⚡️🐺

Best chips I’ve had in my life. Not going anywhere else for my chips anytime I’m in Paignton or neighbouring towns. I’ve found the one.

We were introduced to Scoffs whilst visiting a relative two years ago, we fell in love with their fish and chips. This week, we returned to Scoffs a mere 15mins after our arrival in Paignton to get a taste of the best once again. My teen absolutely LOVES the chips and mentions them whenever we talk about Paignton, so he was thrilled to come back. The staff were friendly and welcoming, good customer service and even made up some fresh fish bites for my youngest child. You can't get better than that! Thank you, Scoffs!

So me and my family went To this cafe on Easter Sunday we decided to have some of these chips. When my husband went to order, nobody told hi that we were not allowed to eat in. If we ordered from this Pacific counter so My daughter and my 4 month grandson went to sit down as my grandson was getting fussy and wanted to be feed. my husband was ordering food. My husband then went to come over and joined us and got screamed at by the man behind the counter. Say you can't eat them in here this Counter is takeaway only.. So my husband proceed to go outside and I carried on feeding my grandson. Then the rude waitress the old lady with grey hair behind the counter came over and started screaming at me that I could not feed My 4 month grandson as it was a busy restaurant and I hadn't ordered from the right counter. I proceed to tell her that I was going to feed my grandson. And if somebody had explained that we could have ordered from the. Right counter. and that I was not going to sit outside in the freezing cold and feed my grandson. I'm once I had finished feeding my grandson. I would leave. She then proceed to tell me that a cafe was no place to feed a child. By the time I got to eat my food it was cold 🥶 the old lad and the man were so Rude. I will never eat here again. Although the other staff were quite nice and polite and looked really awkward at the encounter. But I wouldnid1878 t waste your money and go to the nice little pub down. The road where the staff were welcoming and polite, where I only used the toilet to change my grandson. But they were so warm and inviting. We stayed for a drink.

Terrible customer service! They said cash only then when we went to leave (as we had none) they said we will take card on this occasion!!! Refused a cone of chips for inside, refused large cheesy chips (had to be regular), can only give regular curry sauces! A staff member was walking by and I picked up what she dropped….. there was no thank you! So so disappointed !!!

The young girl Julie that works there is a credit to scoffs and was very good with my nephew's.

Customer service from some staff leaves a lot to be desired. It's not the friendliest towards children and they get very funny about pushchairs but the food was nice and hot.

The food is very nice but customer service was awful!

Scoffs has the best chips I've ever had!! Food is delicious and I love going there.

Chips were to die for, a clean and well managed establishment. Staff were friendly and the food brilliant. You can only use a card for over, £5 though.

May as well turn into a Karen's cafe with the lack of good customer service you receive. Chips get wrapped in paper, which then ends up a soggy mess stuck to the chips. Sausage had a strange taste and was undercooked. The batter also had a perfume taste to it. Complete waste of money.

My partner and I, come to Scoffs every time we come to paignton, best chips ive ever had, well worth the 140 mile round trip! hopefully we will be back again soon! Definitely worth a go!

Best chips ever, I don’t need to say anything more! Honestly Everytime we visit we come by. And we are never disappointed.

Lovely fish & the chips are amazing there covered in a light crispy batter, not grease at all Thoroughly recommended 👌

The very best ever fish & chips When in Paignton you must go there. Lovely staff. Very friendly & professional. So clean.

The finest fish and chips in Paignton! Nuff said!

We was visiting Paignton,and was looking for somewhere to eat. We saw scoffs was opened so give it a try.and omg best food I've had in a long time. Great portion size, and the fish. Stunning. Young lady I found out is called Kerry who serviced us, was polite ,friendly, and nothing was to much for her . Wish there was more people like her around she deserves every penny she works for and more. 10/10 for clean Ness of shop,10/10 for food 10/10 for Kerry, deffantly will pop in there again next time we down.

Very nice food and good portions

We visited here at 5Pm on a Saturday Night. Had a table for 6 4 out of the 6 were very elderly. The food was wonderful Service was amazing too. Waited by Julie (juliette) Thank you so much we will be back again Great evening out to celebrate mothers 85 Birthday

A very nice piece of cod we had today and service was outstanding very quick after ordering food. We will be back to try other dishes on the menu. The staff very polite and talkative. We will make sure to tip them in future. I don't know why people have left such a nice chippy bad reviews when what we had was good value for money and made our day out enjoyable. We shall be back and we will recommend this place should out next meal be just as enjoyable. I wanna say a big thank you to all the staff here and I hope the owner appreciates the hard work they have put into making this such an enjoyable place to eat.

I used the take away service at Broadsands. I was impressed by the young ladies service from behind the counter. They knew their product, gave service with a smile and a chat and were an asset to Scoffs. Well done 👍

Let me tell you, you CANNOT get better fish and chip in Paignton. The food is absolutely unreal. What let's this place down is the staff. The woman taking our order was super super rude and had zero customer service skills. Food is just unreal though, so if you don't care about attitude and only food then this place is amazing. If you do care about staff attitude then probably give it a wide berth.

We ended up arriving early for a booked event and decided to get some food, there were 5 of us plus my 1 year old little boy. We were overwhelmed with the kindness of the staff at Scoffs, going completely out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable and in particular my little boy… bringing his food out earlier so it could cool down so he was able to eat at the same time as everyone else and ensure he had appropriate seating by getting him a high chair. On our way out one of the staff members got my little boy some chocolate to take with him too. We were seriously overwhelmed by how lovely the staff were, in particular the lady with dark hair and lady with blonde hair. We loved our food, it was delicious - best fish and chips in the area! Thank you so much to the lovely staff members for being so accommodating.

Couldn’t fault this place. Great service and food served hot and fresh. Popped in after a long day travelling to grab a quick bite to eat, my son had fish bites and chips and I had chips and curry sauce. We no to loved it! Wish this place was local to me!

Great food at sensible prices and fantastic service from friendly staff. Highly recommended

Went on Monday for fish and chips, sat down. Service and attention excellent. Food magnificent. Will be back when summer holidays. Too good to miss.

❤️Best haddock and chips ever ❤️ Thank you, we came in earlier today (I bought the glittery jumpsuit😂) Best fish & chips👍

Friendly staff, spotless restaurant and food was great.

Just nipped in for a quick snack after a few pints... Only ordered 2 Scallops. Really enjoyed them.. A nice big size and really filling.. Tiny bit greasy though.. Staff was friendly too.. Will buy them again...

Great tasting Fish 'n' Chips Loads of room to eat in or just take away Kids had sausage and chips which was the perfect size for 5 & 3 year old. Large cod's n chips perfect size adult meal. Best Yorkshire chips we have had for a while, crunchy and fluffy. Will eat here again and recommend! Toilet facilities super clean and fresh smelling. 1 male and 1 female

These were the worst chips I’ve ever eaten . The chips are bright orange because of some radio active batter if you do eat from here may I suggest you take a Geiger counter with you . Poor customer service not a smile in sight . Definitely would NOT recommend !

Great fish and chips, nice and clean with fast service

This used to be 5* but we went yesterday to sit down and we were disappointed. The portion of saveloy and chips was quite small and luke warm - they’ve definitely cut back on portion sizes (I’ve been for the last few years). The chips tasted nice still but sadly not the quality chip shop it was last year.

This is a busy little restaurant and takeaway and I can see why. Chips were excellent and the portion sizes generous. Next time we’re on Holiday I know where we’ll be eating out. The staff were all friendly and efficient, and prices reasonable.

Wow! After a bad experience with another chippy in Paignton we found scoffs. Although they were about to shut they let us sit down and eat. The service was fantastic the food was amazing especially the Yorkshire chips and curry sauce. If I’m ever in Paignton again I will always go back!

Always very tasty food. Clean premises and great service

Wow the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten , for a non fish eater I would come again . Had the oap cod and chips

Unusually orange chips but they add the colour there apparently? Nice enough if a little over crisp. What i've not seen for years in any chippy is they had scrumps (bits of batter) so i had some. Pricey perhaps at £14 with bottle of coke but that what fish & ships is these days everywhere. The fish was not large really but was delicious. Very clean looking in there & quick service.

5 stars even more if i could the food here is amazing came from bristol to taste the food can honestly say the best food ever thank you for the food it is amazing me and my mother will defiently return wish you were in bristol your food is so good keep up the Good work Scoffs Your Doing Great

It's principally a fish'n'chips take away, but a very good one and the chips are to die for. Their steak'n'kidney pies are very good too (they actually contain a decent quantity of kidney).

Scoffs chips are unique and we have them every Friday as they are a great accompaniment to our fish each Friday as it's our tradition to have fish on Friday what a shame that the traffic is so bad at the moment

Wife had sheaded chicken and chips and gravy special said lovely.i had pensioners fish and chips and a battered sausage cos love them.

Just had another lovely meal beautiful Roe and Chips best place ever very friendly and helpful staff. Beautifully clean. Love visiting when I in Paignton.

The food is bright orange then I discovered the chips had been battered. Is that really nessessary? What is wrong with some nicely cooked quality chips. Would not recommend.

Really good fish and chunky chips.

Couldn't go to Paignton & not try these gorgeous battered chips 😋 best chips ever 😋

Stopped in today after another restaurant was unavailable. The cod was white and flaky, the batter; crispy and well-seasoned. If nothing else, go for their chips… I will be making battered chips at home from now on. Reasonably priced, kind and courteous staff, definitely recommend to anyone!

The fish and chips was divine would come here again

We visited twice on a weekend away as my partner had never tried them! It was incredible both times we took our chips away. Love the chips, don’t know how they do it. Plus the service was quick despite it being busy.

poor quality badly cooked,small portions cod chips mushy peas, fish very smallbulked up to look big with uncooked batter. go elswhere bad

Love the chips especially from here. We always enjoy going here after our visit to Paignton town.Located near the train station.

Food was excellent, we had the cod and chips. Only negative was the service to order our food, had to wait a while. I’d understand if it was packed but it wasn’t. Would still recommend though.

Awful. Poor attitude and service. Went at 6.00pm and closed, explained website said closes at 7.00 pm. Tough, you can have takeout. Second time this has happened. If chippy on corner open go there nothing too muck

Had the best fish and chips for a very long time staff made us very welcome. and seen to every request, they were very polite and smiley faces Would definitely return and recommend.

Service was a bit slow. Lady behind the counter too busy on the phone. Otherwise the fish and chip were exceptional. Lovely batter, white fish (huge portion) and crispy chips. Lovely seat outside to enjoy in the sunshine.

Lovely food but very expensive..Takeaway one regular cod/chips plus one mini cod/chips £19.50....was closing at 6.30pm even tho there was a long queue,closes too early.

Lovely place. Highly recommended the battered chips! Great service too, really friendly towards my infant son too.

This is the best Fish and Chips I have had .The batter was light the fish tasty and chips were excellent

Friendly staff and fabulous food, worth traveling for, especially the chips. Always a winner!

Had Cod and Chips this lunchtime. The best I have tasted in Torbay by far.

The best fish and chips we have ever tasted!!!!

Very nice fish,chips and burgers

Nice chips, not really yorkshire chips as lived in Yorkshire all my life and never seen these battered chips 'up ere' but something different and tastes OK

Absolutely shocking service. Went to scoffs today for lunch, however we went to sit down and was told the pushchair (small fold down stroller) wasn’t allowed to be at the bottom of the restaurant. It could stay there but If it got busy I would have to leave regardless of ordering food. The woman was so rude about it didn’t even ask if I could fold it down. Safe to say we took our custom elsewhere. Never ever would I give them my custom. I understand it being busy and needing room but to be told I would have to leave if it got busy is beyond a joke. I questioned why and was told it’s her business that’s why.

We go here every time in Devon. Being from the black country its the only other place I have been able to find that sells chips like this. They claim the orange chip is a Yorkshire thing, but iv only seen them in the Midlands.

We went in for lunch. We shared a large cod (£7.80) and a large portion of chips (£4.00). We thought it was a decent size to share, and the chips were amazing. Very orange chips, but soft and fluffy. Would recommend. Was incredibly busy when we went in so a little loud, but I recommend checking them out.

Second time visiting Scoffs when we holidayed in Paignton recently. The chips are delicious, last year we tasted a chip off a man in the street offering a free chip which drew us in. Lunchtime it gets really busy. They have a few tables outside...

Best fish and chips in the south west

These chips are a strange orange colour, never seen anything like it, but they taste lovely. On a recent holiday to the Paignton area, we had 2 visits to Scoffs - a chip takeaway and a sit in meal. The seated area is clean and...

Fabulous fish shop. Found on the main street of Paignton. (Local call it the golden mile).We have been coming here for a number of years, during the summer. Never had a bad meal. There are lots to choose from on the menu, including some homemade dishes. Good value for money, especially during current times.

The best battered chips ever! Reminds me of black country chip. 10/10 Wish all chips shop can make the same chips Very good service Staff were friendly and polite fast service

The food is always good, delicious, but the closing time is far too early, plus take advantage of all customers wanting food even if it means staying open an extra 15 minutes, I went in 10 minutes before closing time and wanted two fish and chips and battered sausage plus a burger, because it wasn't already cooked I could only have chips (they were still delicious) two more family's came in at the same time and wanted fish etc so they lost over£100 in orders, at this time every sale is vital, isn't it?

Best food in Paignton, you can keep your posh restaurants and pubs,you won't beat scoffs.

Was recommended this chippy by my colleagues who live locally. I came for a work trip and fancied fish and chips. The queue going out the door was a good sign and it wasn’t wrong. Delicious chips, plenty of salt & vinegar. Quick and friendly service

Visited for a quick bite yesterday, was a lovely little stop. Service was impeccable from very beginning when gentleman taking orders right up until leaving. Good was very well cooked and full of flavour. I recommend the chips with any meal as the chips are delicious. Would personally revisit and highly recommend a stop.

Hot,fast service,good price,decent portion think I had a whale on my plate and the chips were lovely,deffo going back again
