Sole Plaice in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Ordered a bag of chips and a chip butty and it took 3 people to sort a bread bun. Wish we hadn't bothered as I put most of my chips in the bin

Always 100% good portions, and lovely fish , the staff are always friendly would highly recommended. 😋😋

We went to this location today at lunchtime to satisfy our hunger. We wanted a burger and chips. When we were told that we would have to wait 20 minutes (!!!), we ordered a chicken burger. The result: sticky, heavily oily chips and a small, dry piece of chicken between two sticky burger slices. I have never had such a bad burger and chips. We are very disappointed and would advise against this bad restaurant. Never again here!!!!!

Great chips. Great taste. The first time we visited.

We were really excited to try this place as we had heard a lot of good reviews. It might be that we were just unlucky but our chips weren't cooked, the fish smelled very fishy and not fresh and the batter was soggy. Extremely unimpressive.

Excellent food and service. They even provided scissors to cut open the tartare sauce packets without us having to ask! Highly recommended cod and haddock. The bread and butter was top notch too and fitted the description in the menu perfectly. We will return 👌

I remember this place back in the day as serving great fish n chips. What happened ?because now the chips are greasy and undercooked and the fish batter is yellow and soggy, very very disappointed will not be going back !

The fish was okay and the prices average but the chips were the worst I’ve had from a fish and chip shop. They were so soggy and greasy.

A good quality fish and chip shop with a place to sit. Nice service and clean facilities. Probably one of the best ones in Truro. Update 4 years later: we paid 4£ more to eat in the restaurant instead of take away. I think that is quite a sum. I do get it that it is more expensive but I think 4£ is a bit Mitch

Went in on Friday night. Absolutely amazing service on the takeaway counter and delicious chips!

Very nice place we had haddock andchip to takeout will be back again staff 1st class.

Lovely fish and chip shop, good prices and portion sizes.

Excellent batter probably the best in the west

been going to this chips shop for years because of the quality of the fish but after yesterday (thurs) it will be my last time. The fish was not its normal golden crispy batter but a sad soggy doughy one. The chips were not great and were luke warm and very greasy. My wife complained about the chips been cold and the waitress was a bit miffed and said they were the same as everyones and put a few warm extra chips on top of the cold ones. Not impressed at all.

Great food every time and good service too

Overall its a nice fish and chio shop their is a small restaurant down stairs the menu is simple and fair. The food is reasonably priced and the size ok, I had fishcake and chips which was almost £2 more for sitting in the restaurant the fishcake was nice, crisp if a little greasy, the chips were very tasty like old chip shop chips just needed a little longer draining but all in all its a pretty decent chippy.

Just had 2 small fish and chips , never seen fish so bad , looks like it has been fried about 3 times and dripping in fat chips , never again

Great chips, generous portion. Big and crispy fish, they know what 'loads' means. Good time.

Ithought the chips greasy the fish was ok but not the best again greasy

Popped in Wednesday evening, late night shopping and bought 2 trays of chips for myself and daughter, have eaten here many times and always thoughourly enjoyed them, however this time we were very disappointed, very thin greasy chips and the lady who served us was so miserable, won't be returning anytime soon

Always come here when we are in Truro, great food, friendly staff and sensible prices.

Normally go here once a month with daughter and grandson, today me and wife called and I ordered and when it arrived looked great. But fishcake was not home-made so I asked. to change it with a piece of fish, it was cold fish chips ook peas fine. My wife had fish and chips great and she enjoyed it,,but because I said fish was cold the boss said very nasty if you feel like that just leave.very nasty, trying to get over no stomach because of cancer, she said so you started eat the fish but it cold I said so she very nasty said look just leave. Never been so insulted and be little in front of my wife and other people, customers, my angina started thought I was going to have a heart attack. So my advice is eat but don't complain now at home feeling very upset

Waited at the counter, three members of staff were there not ONE of them acknowledged we were there, not even a “afternoon “, “ won’t be a minute” or even a look and a smile. We were completely ignored. We walked out in absolute disgust!! So rice and ignorant. Not good for business.

I recently decided to give Sole Plaice a try after passing by a few times. It's got a good reputation, so my expectations were fairly high. The chips, however, were somewhat disappointing. They were quite generous with the portion, but the chips themselves were unexpectedly thin and on the greasy side. It's unusual for a traditional fish and chip shop. The service was extremely slow considering I was the only person waiting too. I'm glad I gave it a shot, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. It's unlikely I'll visit again, but it was an interesting experience nonetheless.

Just stopped in for some chips. Gladly waited for some hot chips as he didn’t want to sell me what was left. Very grateful as they were so good. Thanks.

Fish was dry did not give the full order missed the chips from a fairly small order did not realise until got home and not worth the journey back. Disappointed.

Excellent fish and chips , lovely clean restaurant and very friendly staff ,we are on vacation from Canada ,and every time we visit Cornwall we make sure we have a meal at Sole plaice

I loved my fish and chips meal although my wife (being a vegetarian) wasn't happy after realising that the fish was dipped in Beef dripping, maybe they should have a vegetarian option 🤷

Super friendly smile staff. Great food.

Lovely fish and chips. But tension between cook and serving staff coloured the experience some what. Also disappointed that at 8.10 ours was the last order. The lady behind us was turned away at 8.15 despite closing time on the door and on Google being 8.30. Not hard to make the appropriate changes.

Chips are nice, fish is greasy and service is rubbish, the young staff are rude and ignorant! Won’t be back unfortunately…

Fish and chips here are amazing would highly recommend.

Very tasty... as always Great portions ...as always Great polite staff ..as always

Recommended by air bnb host. Would echo the recommendation. We were late arriving but warmly welcomed, fish cooked to order and very fesh and tasty when we ate it at home.

Best fish and chips in our opinion in Cornwall Delicious, plenty chips. And great quality cod 😋 Lovely team Great service This is how I get my husband to drive to truro for shopping!! Highly recommended 👌

Reasonable fish and chips. Good sized portions.

Very disappointed £31 for large cod 4 small sausage 2 cheesy chips and 4 small curry sauce and small peas the fish was dry the batter burnt the sausage and chips was just about warm curry sauce watery won't be going again

Best fish and chips in the area, I think, cooked in dripping , proper old school. Staff so nice too!

Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips ,highly recommend this shop

Great Fish and chips best I've had since arriving.

Second time eating and both time were fresh, delicious, and hot. Sole Plaice has the best fish and chips that I have found, hands down

Honestly the best fish I've ever had! I'm just gutted I'm not local so can't come back as soon as I would like. We ate in the restaurant and the service was amazing - quick and very friendly. My husband is still talking about how great your chops were today. Thank you so much!

Disappointing experience. Though chip portions were large the majority were scraps. The cod was dry whilst the batter was extremely oily with no crunch.

Friendly staff, fresh cooked food.

Can't complain, clean & tidy, friendly staff...fish & chips was nice

Finally gave Sole Plaice a try the first time ever in Truro. After doing some shopping and Visiting the Cathedral to sign the book of condolences for the Queen. I didn't know Sole Plaice had a restaurant, always thought it was purely a takeaway. After looking it up in Google Maps, thought I'd give them a try. Friendly welcome on arrival and found a table in the restaurant area. Surprisingly big area on two floors ( only the ground floor was open ) Ordered the regular cod and chips, two fishcake and chips, two portions of thick crusty bread, hot chocolate and a coke. This came to just over £21 , which was very good value for money. Once the order was taken the food arrived within 5 minutes all hot and freshly cooked to order. The chips were very tasty and chrispy. The cod was probably one of the best I've ever had. Beautiful large flakes of cod. Batter nice and chrispy. Not greasy at all. The fish cakes were again apparently the best that had been eaten in ages. I will definitely be returning to Sole Plaice in Truro. Definitely Pleased I found them. Well done 👏 for the amazing food 👍

Definitely lovely and really friend staff. Food is brilliant

Amazing fish and chips Only £6.50 for a huge cod, and share a small portion of chips, which is more than enough.

Probably the best 'Plaice' to go for proper F&C! Great quality, huge portions and a great price! The standards are always high will be back again very soon!

Staff are really friendly and the food is always fresh and lovely. Definitely a great place to eat.

Tasty food, wonderful service! Highly recommended.

Used the restaurant part - fast, friendly service. A shame that the cod and chips I had at lunchtime was a bit dry and bland, possibly as it could've been sitting under the hot lamps for a while, rather than been freshly cooked. I might give them another go next time I'm on holiday, but would wait for freshly cooked food.

We got a take away all was nice and not badly priced.

Sorry to say I had fish and chips.price £9.10 .sorry to say but not very happy the chips were like re frys.And the cod wasn't cooked through Its a shame really is.I work there for 17 years .And I could never say any thing bad .About sole plaice.

Staff are always accommodating and do my chips just as I like them.

Love this place after shopping in truro. Always delicious fish and chips. Friendly service

The fish and chips are absolutely lovely from here freshly cooked high standard. The young girl who served this evening on the takeaway counter is so nice she is always friendly helpful efficient and sweet she is a great asset to the whole experience.

Brilliant service and lovely food every time we visit. Always sit in for our meals, it's great place to visit.

Brilliant place good fish and chips Recommend

Fish superb chips not good

Good food reasonable prices, serving staff friendly will return

Very greasy and Luke warm mushy peas.

ok but not as nice as Charlie's

On a walk round Truro on a rainy day nipped in here and was very pleased they even have dairy free batter a rare treat which is proper good. Delicious.

Have used sole plaice for a lot of years always been happy always said it was the best chippy in truro , but I feel a bit let down buying 4 cod and chips on the 30th December for the family, and the fish was undercooked runny batter inside and stomach problems for members of the family who tried to eat it. not sure what went wrong that night but was not up to your normal high standards such a disappointing outcome.

Good place to have fish and chips best in Truro

Rated highly by others, it's quite nice but expensive and not as good as it used to be IMHO.

R.I.P Sole Plaice. Used to be good, but clearly Dave has retired and its all gone wrong. Greasy, and undercooked. The service (takeaway) was shocking. Slower than Christmas , we phone ordered for a specific time and left with the food 15mins later than this time. The fish was broken and the variance in size between the 4 of us was ridiculous. I wont be going back anytime soon that’s for sure.

Great Fish and Chips. Great service. Our go to place for lunch when we visit Truro.

Very nice food and staff are helpfull

Best fish and chips on Truro either sit in or take away always hot and a warm welcome.

Very nice definitely 👌👍be going again

Freshly cooked and very good quality fish. Probably the best in Truro.

A short wait for perfectly cooked cod and chips. Smile ladies 😁

Great fish 'n' chips at sole place

Insipid looking chips, chewy not crispy, absolutely no taste atall. Awful chips!!!

Lovely staff and cracking food, perfect

Amazing service, amazing food amazing people, I fully recommend this place

The food wasn’t amazing but was ok. We had 3 pieces of fish which were rather greasy. One piece was so greasy the batter completely came off and the same happened to the 2nd piece. However the 3rd piece was more batter than fish. The chips were nice though and the food was hot.

Great staff and the Haddock and chips was superb.

i visited this chip shop today and the food that i had was absolutely stunning! me and my family all had battered cod and chips (i had a small and my parents had the regular) and we all couldn’t stop talking about how nice the food was. the chips weren’t dry or too greasy; they were absolutely perfect - and don’t even get me started on the fish! the staff were also very very nice and the service was quick! the one critique i will say though is that for one pound more i would go for the regular portion instead of the small as it’s only a few chips difference. 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely brilliant place and lovely place and people x

Outstanding fish and chips...!!

Always been the best fish and chips in Truro ever since I was a kid I'm 45 now 👍

Lovely chippy! Always guaranteed great food here! Tasty, hot, fresh and averagely priced. Can't recommend enough! Great job guys. 😁👍👏👏👏

Delicous fish and chips, very fresh and delicious chips!!

Lovely, fresh fish and chips! This place is a regular Friday port of call for me and the lady I care for. A real treat, with such friendly staff...

Great Fish and Chips! We'll worth a visit.

Nice food but a little on the greasy side.

Good COVID compliance. Prompt service. Nice fish and chips

Super service with top rate food

Great fish and chips, eating in or out. Fast service, friendly staff. A firm favourite!

Good food. Fairly small fish portion though. Only 3 stars though because of the preordering situation with people calling orders through. We were waiting outside for over 20 mins while people whom turned up after us were getting served prior to us. Very disappointing..

The most amazing batter on the fish, so light and crispy.

Great last week, went in yesterday and the gentleman serving didn't have a mask on while in the cooking area (it was under his chin) and then only over his mouth not nose when he came to serve... We did not buy anything this week. Shame as last week they were lovely

Very enjoyable fish and chips. Fish really nice 😁

Good quality fish and chips. Quick service and friendly staff

Great food! Ordered it in and it was ready on time :)

Great fish and chips, what else needs to be said! 😁

Great little takeaway, food was lovely.
