Taffs Fish and Chips in Torridge

Absolutely the best fish & chips I’ve ever had! Fish & chips used to be a “once in a while” thing for us, but since moving here & treating ourselves on the night we moved in, we’ve treated ourselves every week for the past 6 weeks! They aren’t greasy like some. Perfect portion size too. Everything is just spot on perfect. Thank you Taffs x

Pre-ordered by phone. Ignored at preorder desk. Had to reorder in person and get my son to pick up the order.

Tasty, good value for money and very friendly staff

The food was nice and the portions v generous Recommend asking for less salt as we found it quite salty the 2 times we got take away from here Love the gravy though

Just what we needed after a long day

Today was a pleasant day and being a keen motorcyclist I decided to take my motorcycle to Taffs fish and chip shop in torrington North. Devon. Speaking as a local person and like to support local businesses as much as I can. I decided to get myself, fish and chips on this evening so called in at Taffs torrington. The place was nice. Place was clean and it had a gentle flow of customers, but I'm very sad to say that when I asked for my fish and chips I thought it would be something special being a little local village setting the beautiful country side of Devon, but sadly this wasn't the case. When I departed with my purchase of fish and chips, I went to eat my purchase on torrington common. On opening the packet I found a portion of chips which wasn't that great but the sorry state of affair was the size of the fish. There is I thinking I was going to get the size of half a shark but the only sharks I could see were the ones behind the counter selling the fish and chips as I was very disappointed with the portion of fish. The size of the fish fillet about 4 and 1/2 to 5 in long it represented and overweight fish finger. This was most disappointing as the price did not reflect on the portion given for the grand of fish and chips and one Can of soft drink at £11.00, for me to return or for anybody to think about going there would be foolish as you're not getting value for money

Tried the veggie box today for the first time and it was delicious, thanks all

Excellent Fish and chips . Good value for the money . Definitely stop there again if in the area. Highly recommend this Fish and chips shop.

This place is always spotless, staff are friendly and food good. The new loaded chips are great value. I had the Korean bbq chicken box and it was lovely. Will try the katsu one next time

One of the best fish n chips around. Well organised and always pleasant service. Reflects well on the owner.

Lovely fish and chips, plus they sell cockles which was a bonus 😁

The new additions to Taffs menu are incredible! Check out their loaded chip boxes 👌🏼

What a feast! Had katsu chicken with proper chip shop chips, and a cheeky side of onion rings, which was the perfect combination. Plenty of freely available seating so we ate it in the dry. Will definitely be returning. 😋👍

Tried the Taff's 1/4 burger tonight from the new menu and it was amazing. Can't wait to try the other items from the new menu

I found overall it was very good food battered sausage was nice the chips wear ok the fish was a let down the batter was a bit soggy not very bubbly and crunchy.Apart from that service was good the staff very friendly.

Fish and chips were dry and hard - really bad as if they had been reheated a few times. For £17+ it was rubbish and a complete waste of money. Will avoid Taffs in future - such a shame. You need to do better!!

A great experience when eating in and take out. I would highly recommend visiting this fish and chip shop. The staff are very welcoming and food is amazing!

Stopped by whilst travelling. couldn't believe how awful the food was. Most of it ended up in the bin, how can you get fish and chips so wrong

Fantastic fish and chips! We really enjoyed our meal, the fish was really delicious and freshly cooked and the chips were lovely, crispy and perfectly cooked.

First time visiting here for take away. Staff very friendly and efficient. Found the food disappointing, fish was very small and flat (unlike cod) and batter thin and soggy. Chips tasted as if they were reheated not fresh but may just have been a one off, will try again another time.

This has to be the best chip shop in North Devon if not further afield. You get great food and a great smile from everyone here.

Fairly limited memu. Had a mini cod & chips and boy was it mini, not worth the £6.00 charge. Other meals we had were ok.

Came in for dinner with friends. Easy to order, lovely menu n great staff. Fantastic fish n chips at a great price. Returning.

Had a mini cod and chips and wish I got the large!! Cod was so flaky and fresh, batter was gorgeous and the chips were so tasty!! We decided to eat in which was well worth doing, food was fresh and the atmosphere was nice and cosy. Staff super friendly, will definitely be back!!

Decent fish and chips always has been. Clean and decent inside also. As with anything prices going up and portions often getting smaller however still worth it and will definitely go again

Always delicious fish and chips, beautiful fish, lovely chips and always great service.

Ordered scampi and chips also cod and chips + coffee. Fish freshly cooked delicious. Chips luke warm, coffee poor quality. We live locally, Taffs used to be excellent but we won't be going there again.

Stopped in a few days ago for takeaway after google recommendations, service was excellent, with very friendly staff! The food was good with generous portions. Would highly recommend!

Discovered this place by chance whilst in the area. Food was cooked fresh, service was great and friendly. Great choice of food and good sized portions at great prices. Also able to sit inside, good choice of hot drinks available too. Highly recommend

Been a few times and each time food has been great. Nice crispy batter on fish. Highly recommended if you're in the Torrington area.

Good food and fast service, a bit chilly to eat in with the door open.

Good fish and chips. Though to much salt was used. Next time I would decline.

Great food, friendly staff, would definitely recommend. Edit: possibly the best Chicken Burger I’ve ever had 😄

Wow was very pleased with our fish and chips the portions are very good and excellent quality. The staff very polite and friendly and the restaurant area was immaculate although we had take away. Looking forward to my next fish and chip supper

Excellent takeaway fish and chips

We're new to the area so we started to scope out the local takeaways, starting with Taffs. The fish was awesome, melt in the mouth. We also had chips, scampi and sausage and everything was perfectly cooked and the staff were friendly and responsive. The whole place was as clean as a whistle and modern with a seating area was also available. We'll be back very soon. Let's hope the other takeaways in Torrington can match this very high bar.

We always call here when in Great Torrington. Best fish and chips in the area, but the assistants have an aversion to sharing out a portion of chips between 2 fish, which is always offered at other places we go to. We enjoy taking our food to eat it at the tables on the Commons, with a flask of coffee and a dessert if the weather is nice

Food was very poor had curry sauce large sausages and chip sausages were not large curry sauce was very bland no taste at all very disappointing

Great portion of fab cod and chips

Pleasant staff. Excellent fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was lovely. The chips were very good and remained soft throughout the meal. First class!

Very disappointed tonight paid just under £20 for very small fish and chips not really chips just small hard off cuts so not up to they normal standard

Really good fish and chips. All cooked fresh. Chips were perfect, light and crispy and fish was great too.

Family have eaten here over 50 years... Phoned to place an order, was told can't take order for less than six people.... so we spent our 27 quid @ Kiora....

Friendly and polite staff, very clean modern interior and succulent freshly made cod !! Wallet friendly price too

Terrible. Tiny portion of soggy greasy fish. Nothing cooked properly. Waste of money. Avoid

Pleasant staff and very clean place. Had small fish and cheesy chips Regular fish and chips And large cheesy chips Got to say really enjoyed would say chips a little over cooked but that's just me.

Nice chips shame about the fish. Ordered large cod and chips. got a regular cod. When queried they said they don’t do large only regular (didn’t mention this when I ordered) but give me extra chips. Expensive for what I got. Disappointed. Smallest piece of cod ever. Shame I can’t upload photo!

Lika bra som det alltid har varit

Lovely delicious fish and chips

We have been twice the first time we couldn't fault anything, the second time the food wasn't as good the chips were lukewarm, the fish was okay, I'm aware it can't always be the same but it's a review and I'm being honest

Nice people, very pleasant. Good food.

Nice fish and chips value for money was very good the sausage and chips was very nice to the pie and chips was nice.

Lovely Fish & Chips(+ Pie), not greasy and generous portions. Good prices and the shop is absolutely spotless. Friendly staff and accept card payments. Excellent!.

Excellent Fish and Chips usually very busy which speaks volumes

Very small portions considering the price, average tasting food.

Nice fat flaking fish in crispy batter, hand cut chips. Generous portions. Just the thought means I’m off to get some now! 😋 Under new management now, but it’s always been good.

Great quality food. highly recommended

I understand that it’s a hard job but at least give a decent standard chip and when i asked for vinegar first he ignored me and carried on and put my salt on first just a tip make sure you put vinegar then salt but now my chips are salt coated cheers guys x

Great fish and chips. Great service.

Spent £19.00 on fish and chips. The fish very thin and dry could hardly swallow. Also chips they were hot but also dry. To be honest I won’t be going there again. Very disappointed. Taffs are not the same anymore.

This is the place to go for chips, in my opinion. Everything is as it should be, portion sizes are good and I've no complaints about the food. Cardboard packaging demonstrates a willingness to minimise environmental footprint where possible. Downside: They seem to close at 8PM. I think this is a little early, compared to some of the other eating establishments in Torrington.

Good price, friendly and covid secure. Lovely fish too.

Must have arrived at peak time 7.15pm. A long Covid safe queue. Quite quick serving everyone.Nice portion size.

Great food great service for a fish and chip shop .all cooked freshly on the premises. A place to visit if feeling peckish

The staff had no idea what was going on, and our order was wrong on arrival home. Chips limp and greasy, and the onion rings were absolutely charcoaled, yet still greasy. We have ordered Taff's every other week for years and it absolutely has gone downhill. Sad to say we will be ordering from the other chippy in town to try and get a good meal!

Lovely meal, and thanks for still wearing masks.

Fish and chips were nice...coffee not so much

Whilst on holiday we got our dinner for eleven of us from here. The food was fresh, well coooked and very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. Service was quick and efficient. Our portions were good and it was great value for money.

Excellent fish and chips. This has to be the most pristine fish & chip shop I’ve ever visited. Spotlessly clean, everything was gleaming and very well set up for social distancing. Service was great and fish & chips were lovely, good portion size, well cooked and not at all greasy.

We had a takeaway from here last night whilst staying in the area. The food was really nice, all had fish and chips and I had a carton of curry. The portions are not enormous! Definitely could of had a few more chips! But… we all enjoyed 😊

Best fish and chip shop for miles around. The Food was delicious, we had fish snd sausages with chips, portions sizes were good, staff and the service all 100%. 10/10

Great fish and chips. Friendly and speedy service from a young team.

Very nice fish and chips and staff very friendly and polite the portions are a nice size the battered sausages are nice.

Perfect Fish and Chips. Collected to take home. All was very well prepared. Crispy batter and lovely chips. Collection very well organised.

Best fish and chips in Great Torrington, if only they took card payments!

100% perfect, 100% Taffs. Great friendly service, tasty quality value for money food, and in these times when everybody needs a little pick-me-up, so glad you there for our community and visited alike.

The fish and chips I had were wonderful. Nice well fried chips and the fish was crisp and flavourful. I'd definitely recommend.

Great food, great staff, well organized for covid regulations.

Consistently good.As regular customers we would recommend.

stayed near great Torrington October 20 had fish and chips 1 night and sausage and chips another night cooked well and nice taste.

With regard to the review on 4/9/2020, in arguement portions are always on the larger size up north, and the quality not always as good. I feel that Taffs provide GOOD quality food at a price that is realistic. Also staff are friendly and always welcomed with a happy approach. Proud to have this shop in my town.

Great fish and chips, good value and great service. Covid rules very clear and easy to follow.

This was really no good service. The chicken was dry, the fish’s was tiny, the sausages were ok! If I put all four portions of chips together it would have given a normal size portion. Really embarrassing!

I have never seen such small overpriced portions!! The quality was average but the portions were so small. I wish I could post a picture!!

Portions on the small side, also ordered small cod and chips meaning not a huge piece of fish and normal chips but got a weeny portion for a 5 year old. Obviously not being able to see them preparing the order I was not able to correct it but that is just because of how things are now. No idea how much it should have cost so even the price did not give me a clue that I wasn’t getting what I expected. Overall the quality was fine but just average. Staff were nice though.

Shop well set out for safe collection of your fish and chips! Cash only, good variety of choices on the menu. Really tasty food, great recommendation. Worth the 5 stars.

We stay at Hill Farm which 5 minutes up the road. We had a large order for 15 people which was all correct and still piping hot by the time we brought it back to Hill Farm and settled down to eat it. Generous portions but not ovefaced.

In north Devon we are spoilt by having three top notch fish and chips shops, one in Barnstaple one in braunton and one in Torrington I travel from Barnstaple to Torrington just to eat at taffs as the food is well worth the journey, the food is consistently well cooked and we'll presented you will not be disappointed.Ian B

Best place for fish and chips fish is so yummy and the curry sauce is the best highky recommended

Chips where ok, fish was a soggy mess, had take out, may be better as an eat in.

Taffs [ family run fish and chip shop in Great Torrington ] are the best I have ever tasted, Freshly cooked fish very large well prepared , chips cooked to perfection. lovely.

Excellent service good controls for covid 19

Best Chippy in North Devon. Been coming here for 45 years!!!

Fabulous Chip Shop in the heart of Devon. Family run for well over fifty years. I've been visiting for forty five! Nice sit in cafe also.

Best cod and chips in town. Portions are small and pricey but are tasty! Our weekly treat is tea from here. Kids get to eat it as an extra special treat. Thanks to the team

Best haddock in Torrington and second- best chips too.

What else can you eat after an evening visit to Rosemoor? This is undoubtedly the best fish and chip shop in the immediate area. The only thing I would say is i do not understand why a portion of chips can be split between two fish. Every other establishment we visit does it, and some even ask if we want them splitting, but not Taffs as its apparently against fish fryer law

Excellent food and sitting down service Will use again and again loved it.

Lovely place great staff even if steph never gave me a smile lol. Lovely spicy chicken burger had to come back for one more.... try them out. Famous round these ere parts

Tooo small for people to stand and order
