Scoff's Original Restaurant & Takeaway in North Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

went to Barnstable on Wednesday 4th September and then into Scoffs at midday. Wife and I had fish and chips and it was super, great staff and service. Best we have ever had and will go again

Amazing customer service. Others should take note. When they say they are dog friendly they mean it. Brough our fluffy friend a fresh bowl of water and a sausage so he didn't feel left out Food was outstanding as well. Would give 10 stars for service if I could.

Not for us. Food was not that good service was extremely slow with very little attention even though we were the only table eating in. Didn't feel too clean either.

good service and very nice staff nyc food.

Lovely time , nice food! The people who work here are so lovely too!! 🙏❤️ Thank you

Really good chips and good service

Literally the best chips I've ever had! Really great service too and all at a reasonable price point.

Friendly and kind, great service.

Really sweet staff and delicious milkshakes!

The stuff was really friendly , helpful, co-operative and reasonable and the food was the best, They served their food hot and fresh and it was so delicious especially the burgers and the wings would recommend it for people who are on Holiday :D

Literally just eaten here fantastic food chips were lovely soft on the inside and crispy on the outside l had a fishcake chips and mushy peas best I have ever eaten from a chip shop/ restaurant. Also dog friendly. The staff were very friendly and attentive great curry sauce. Husbands fish was delicious. I Definitely would recomend this place.

Chips were amazing and super friendly staff. Great to visit whilst on the Tarka Trail

What a lovely find. On holiday with 4 boys all getting a bit wound up. Staff brought furniture outside to accommodate us all. Was a bit apprehensive as they were so nice and that's just not a thing where we live. But no it was amazing, all children from ages 11 to 1 enjoyed. They waited on us, repeatedly checked in. Was so lovely. Was so good that we went and found a cashpoint after as we really wanted to give a tip. This is how all restaurants should be.

Thank you Scoffs for great coffee and hospitality 🙏🧡 my family enjoyed our stay. Gonna comeback for the rest on the menu .

Hot n 😋 yummy fish n chips awesome 👌 service

Genuinely one of the best fish and chip place I’ve been to. Crispy chips and tasty fish. All for a good price these days. Lovely people!! (Delicious curry sauce!!)

Wonderful fish and chips restaurant. Crispy chips and tasty fish. Staff are amazing to boot. Highly recommend

Stylish, clean and pleasant. Staff very friendly and efficient. Delicious fish a nd chips beautifully prepared.

I've just had the most delicious haddock and chips in Scoffs, and a proper cup of tea, loved it, I shall be back again and again.

Most banging fish and chips I've ever had epically the chips

Called into scoff's today for fish and chips. First impressions, great atmosphere lovely decor. Clean and tidy. Greeted by friendly helpful staff. Food was delicious and well priced. They are dog friendly and even gave our dog a sausage to feast on. Will definitely be returning if ever in Barnstaple again. Thanks Paul.

I stopped here on my coastal walk.. Very hungry... craving a pie... They delivered beautifully and were super friendly, even offering if i wanted to charge my phone without me even asking! So friendly and kind. I ended up having a few chips and they were so so good.. The best chips I've had for a long time! Thank you!

We had a sit in meal. Staff were lovely and food was delicious. The fish batter was nice and crispy and chips were well cooked.

Fantastic fish and chips! The lady had the cod and I had the haddock. Both ordered smalls, but are actually very large portions. We needed to do some work online and they were very accommodating. Very clean restrooms and restaurant. The staff and owner lady were incredibly kind.

What a cute fish and chips place. The fish was FRESHY FRESH, the batter was light and crisp, and the chips were unusual yet delish! Thanks for the perfect British Fish and Chips experience. PS. Best hot chocolate I've ever had.

Great food. love their chips .will definitely go back on our next visit .

Awful ! Never again 😒 not a patch on previous owners .. Chips horrible like greasy warm ups fish not nice saturated in fat That me done there Used to be nice Overpriced and awful .. Feel ill when I think about it Left most of it! Yuk.

The chips are amazing from here, thought we'd try it on our way home, we wasn't disappointed either... The best chips we have ever had, seek them out, you won't be disappointed, we chatted to the owner who was in there, she is really nice and friendly 😀

Very nice staff. Chips and fish were excellent. We recommend.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips sat outside in the sun nice smiling faces

Ate here while in Barnstaple for a few days holiday.We were warmly welcomed by the lady running it.The Cod and chips were cooked to order and we're delicious.Very friendly people who deserve to make a success.

We found Scoff's by chance in March 2024. Clean & well presented F&C shop, very friendly staff. We had Cod (small) and Haddock. Both were large. Chips were exceptional and tasty. Fish had a thin coating of batter on them. Really tasty meals. Best F&C we have had in a while. Next time we visit Barnstable we will visit again.

Great food.cant fault it.will go back again if im working near by.

Lovely fresh fish & chios, well worth a visit!

Pie & chips & battered sausage & chips taste great , fully recommended , ordered on justeat , delivered hot !

To put it in a top line, *Simply Sensational* From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly and welcoming face. We both ordered the fish and chips (one small and one regular) while we waited. The lady behind the counter chatted to us and was very friendly. The meal was very reasonably priced, and for the quality a steal. We took the food away with us and ate it back in our airbnb (only about 15 mins away). The food was still hot. The fish is very fresh and flavoursome and flakes with ease. It comes in a soft and tasty batter that isn't too heavy but packs a great flavour. The chips. Well, wow. They are coated in a sort of crispy batter themselves that honestly, i couldn't stop devouring them. (Even after i was filled up) The only negative (if it is one) is its a shame it not more local to me [but again my waistline couldn't cope]

Great food and great services. Lived in London throughout my life but never tasted so delicious fish and chips. Wish there was one such a restaurant near our house

Lovely staff and really good food, freshly prepared. Would thoroughly recommend

Love the taste and nice and clean . Lovely customer service. Thanks

Best fish&chips at town.very very Delicious 😋

Best chips ever!! On this grey day, lunch at Scoffs brightened our day. The staff are really welcoming as soon as you step inside. The food was cooked freshly and tasted so good, crispy coated chips and piping hot. We all left full and looking forward to our next visit.

Great food, nice people, fair price

Pleased to find somewhere to eat mid afternoon. I had pulled chicken my wife haddock and chips. The food was lovely, if a slight delay in getting it, but the staff were very good and friendly. No reason not to recommend or revisit

Went here the other day and it’s well worth the visit. The staff were friendly and helpful the food was great especially the chips. If your visiting do come in here, it is great!!!!

Beautiful golden crispy fish and chips made with turmeric. My second visit. I will definitely come again

Great food and great service. Will definitely come back

5* food was lovely. Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Good prices. Nice old building. Plenty of seating. Highly recommended

Under new management Now excellent food great service 10/10

Just stopped for fish and chips after walking from Braunton what a fabulous find ! Very clean, lovely service and the food was fantastic lovely crispy batter really nice !

Very happy after enjoying some delicious fish & chips at Scoffs. Everything was piping hot and the food was cooked to perfection. Probably the best chips I've ever had, and plenty of them even with the regular portions that we ordered. The hosts were were very welcoming and attentive too. A perfect plate of food for a cold Friday night! 😋

Nice fish and chips. It also has this gem of a cycle rack just outside!

Really lovely food, fish and chips cooked fresh, perfect. Really friendly staff and owners lovely too. Would recommend definitely!

Food was inedible. Threw it straight in the bin, lovely staff and service but the food seems like it's days old. Chips full of grease, real shame and waste of money!

The best chips I've ever had. Lovely and crispy. Delicious 😋

Nice fish and chips, great service.

Very good food and friendly place service good

We were recommended to come here for the battered chips - having never had them before. They were so right! Wonderfully crisp outside and fluffly on the inside. Beautiful piece of cod too. Doggies allowed, which makes a huge difference to us. Very efficient and friendly service. Plus to top it all off, doggie was given a free sausage. Just great - thoroughly recommended.

Really really nice, reasonably priced. Great fish and extra crispy chips. Very happy.

Good Food and good service , Nothing else to say.

Got the opportunity to dine in at this lovely restaurant and I have no complaints! The food was flavourful and delicious, but what I loved most was the service, such a splendid staff who treated me and my boyfriend so kindly! Thank you, I’ll be coming back soon!

The best chips I have ever had...the meal was delicious & the service so welcoming & friendly...would highly recommend ...pity none near me in London...

Enjoyed my fish and chips good value for money

Had lunch today with family and enjoyed every last bite, was struggling at the end to finish the chicken wings but got there in the end, battered sausage and chips were on point as usual and the gravy is so tasty, chilli cheese bite are a must too, can not wait to go again 😋

Sorry to say a bit disappointed. Still huge portions but the prices have gone up and it also appears to have changed hands. It's OK, but not as good as it was.

Had fish & chips plus a drink. We were served in the seating area outside as it was a nice day. They also have indoor seating. It took a bit longer than expected for the food to arrive but it was worth the wait. Our family all agreed that they served the best chips we have ever tasted and having visited many chips shops in our time, including Rick Steins, that it high praise indeed. The battered cod was also very nice. The price was also good. Around £9.99 for a regular fish & chips. They offer a 10% discount for take away meals. It would have been nice if they had offered a small fish & chip special like our local chippie as I do not have a large appetite, but I must confess the chips were that good I ate more than I normally do at lunch time! I will pop in again for fish & chips next time I go to Barnstable. The staff were also very friendly.

Have best fish and chips, the batters taste so different so good will be back soon, it would be nice if they have beers on sight :) all the best scoff and team!

Absolute rip off. Charged us for food we didn't get. About a 20 minute wait with nobody in there. Overpriced. Said things came with chips when they didn't. We asked for a receipt which we didn't get. Overcharged us so supposedly gave us 'extra chips'. Rubbish chips. I want my money back!! Won't be coming here again, don't go there

Great chips and service. Have no idea what a Yorkshire Chip is but it definitely isn't this..... These are black country chips and have been in virtually every chipshop in the Midlands since i was a kid 45+years.... Maybe the owner thought a Yorkshire chip sounded better than a Black Country Chip... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ As black Country chips go these are pretty good and i would recommend them. And to the owner if you're from Yorkshire then i would be happily proved wrong ( though i doubt you can do that 😉 )

Very friendly staff, food was absolutely piping when it came out and very helpful with anything we needed. Only thing is… the food here is SUPER GREASY which makes it taste so good but just a heads up if you aren’t into that!

Absolutely fantastic food and the chips were awesome staff brilliant

It says open till 8pm. Hoevwer, at 19:15 doors locked and shop shut

It's really nice. I recommend the pie, chips and beans

Very cold inside , put us all off eating so cold.

Scoff's fish and chip shop/ restaurant. In the centre of Barnstaple town,is where you will find probably some of the best food anywhere. Always served up with a free cup of Yorkshire tea. I'd say that's hard to beat.

If you are on a free from diet such as Vegan or wheat free then you may not be dietary safe so check first and all food outlets should supply the demand for free from foods 💯%

Called in for for food at 6pm sat evening, waste of time not enough food to feed a ferret, wasn't putting any more in , and website says open till 8 pm ..........

Gorgeous chips and brilliant service

Chips straight from the heavens!

As someone from the black country orange chips are so hard to find! On holiday here and to say my face light up with excitement was a understatement. Definitely would recommend.

Loved the chips the food is always hot and tasty,such good service.

Scoffs chips are the best, and they people are so lovely in there too. I never go anywhere else, and when my family come to visit from different corners of the UK, they always remember having scoffs and it has become an event taking them there each time they visit.

Lovely food at a reasonable price

The worst chips I have ever tasted don't go there the oil is off

My son loves the chips we have to visit everyone we go to Barnstaple. Staff were friendly and food was delicious.

Always visit every holiday food is great

Fast service, freshly fried and I do love their chips.

Lovely customer service and Lovely food

Best take away place ever the food is amazing and the staff Is very sweet I recommend this place to everyone 5 stars

Never really understand why this place doesn't seem as busy as it should. Staff are great. Food is great. Portion sizes are good value; kids meals definitely. We enjoyed it... just felt a little bleak 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a great find. Lovely Fish and Chips, fresh and tasty. Very friendly service too. would recommend and use again. Thank you.

Only place around here that does battered chips but they are to die for and that is coming from someone who doesn't really like chips!

Been there twice now and had fish and chips I like how they do their chips in a light batter would recommend you to try them

Brilliant fish and chips. Best I've had in ages. Super friendly staff too. Couldn't ask for more. Many thanks.

Excellent customer service but the oil wasn't to my taste so I probably won't be back. Might match yours, though.

Chips were OK. Ate in but was so cold inside.

Very good fish and chips and always fresh chips

Dog friendly and made really welcome.

Lovely fish and chips were amazing thank you x
