The Fountain in Teignbridge

After a long time on a diet I decided to go for a treat [battered sausage and chips and hot curry sauce] . And what a treat it was! Great friendly service and great food.

Cod smaller than normal regular ones Pie hard pastry on bottom Chips good

Best chippy always happy and the service is brilliant

Excellent fish and chips along with the full compliment of others served with pride and a smile. Highly recommend The Fountain

Sadly, this visit was the worst fish and chips, the chips were soggy, the fish tasted tainted and batter soggy and very greasy. The cost was £23 and we had to throw it away. The oil I think needs changing

Don't bother buying a large chips for £4. You don't get very much at all. Better off buying a small chips and you'll get the same amount as large but will save money. Also chips are very greasy. Won't be visiting again. Disappointing!!!

Never left a negative review before, went in yesterday around 6pm ordered sausage and large chips twice, the sound of the server scraping the bottom of the barrel for chips is never ideal, the portion size was tiny, and the chips were chewy, dry and cold. The sausages were fine, and the server was very friendly. Maybe a bad night, we certainly won’t be returning, Jackson’s or Goodies are 100 times better.

Bought fish and chips, sausage and chips ,garlic mushrooms,sweet chilli sauce, drinks and ketchup. Lovely, chips delicious not greasy or heavy but tasted like chips should. This is the second time and brilliant on both occasions. Don't live in the area but will be coming again

Went in on a lunchtime. Straight in, food ready to go.

Awful today. We have had fish and chips a couple of times in the last couple of months and enjoyed them. Tonight they were awful. Very thick, over cooked batter with dry fish. The chips were definitely not up to par, soft and old. Time to try a different fish and chip shop! Disappointing as this is our closest.

Gotta love Gary's chippy. Family run so he has plenty of experience.

Just got home and attempted to eat this but unfortunately it’s basically inedible, the fish and chips both tasted reheated, batter was very hard, fish had a dry taste and the chips were glued together! Shame as cost nearly £30!!

Delicious fish and chips for the family. The shop has been refurbished again. Good clean service and excellent quality food. We come here occasionally and are always happy 😊

Good fish & chips for the family. Newly refurbished shop. Good, all round general presentation from the staff. We come here every now and then always love the food.

Top quality. It takes some beating. Simply the best!

Chips and Cod roe ,all cooked fresh..Reasonable prices and the young man serving at lunchtime was friendly and pleasant..

Recently moved to the area and decided to try the Fountain chip shop. Prices were reasonable, chips were hot and tasty, and large sausage was full of flavour. Will definitely buy from here again.

Large selection of foods available, service quick and efficient, premises very clean and tidy

Great food, making scribbles is no problem for them. Nice service with a smile 👌

This food is sooooo good here ...one of the best chippys in South Devon by far ... Such good value aswell

Possible the worst fish and chip shop I have had . Ordered 2 large chips which ended up with a small. Over cooked battard sausage which taste absolutely disgusting the oil was a thick tangy taste . Wife had a chicken. Burger with soggy salad .she didn't enjoy it either. Such a shame as this chip shop seems lovely and good reviews. Massively let down on this occasion.

The fish was like something you buy from Iceland……bland with little batter. Chips were greasy. The only nice food was the gravy which masked all the other flavours or non flavours. Rubbish food for the money.

Large cod and mini cod with chips ordered at peak Friday time 6pm. Portion size no problem, chips very good, fish absolutely awful. The thick leathery oil soggy batter was hiding a pathetic thin watery fish fillet. I should have said forget it as he picked it up with the tongs and the fat oozed out of it like a sponge. I wish I had sat in the Bell up the road for £2 more freshly cooked and peas included. I suspect some of these other reviews of late are fake or business owner friends.

Very tasty food and cooked freshly on my visit..

I very rarely have chippy as it always makes me feel a bit sick. But we got chippy from the fountain the other day, and it was tasty, not greasy, good prices and portions. And it didn't make me feel sick. Win win. Thanks, guys. We will be back ASAP.

Great price, always friendly staff and never had to wait too long. Would recommend 110%

Had sausage and chips from them a few times and was really nice up untill today, a massive long black hair wrapped around my chips nearly puked, I shall not being returning again! Disgusting.

Had haddock & chips. Despite being freshly cooked the fish was dry and tasteless and batter was stodgy. The chips were all stuck in big clumps so was impossible to eat 1 or 2 at a time. 3/4 of it ended up in the bin, certainly wasn't worth £ 10. First & last time I go there

Very good sausage and chips. Bought fo6my grandson who atr the lot!! Fortunately also bought extra chips which myself and my wife shared. Nice friendly service and a good choice

Have visited several times in recent months. Fish is generally very good, but chip portions are very small and have always been made with soggy/soft potatoes, even when straight from the fryer. If the chips were better, this could easily be a 5 star place. Will give King's Fry a go, but reviews aren't great there either.

I had fish and chips. Excellent quality and large chips were large .Thank you

Always great chips can be very busy which is all ways good and great staff.

This has got to be the most expensive chip shop I have ever been in used to use it a lot and popped in recently as I was in the area and couldn’t believe the price I will never be back I’m sorry but you need a reality check the food is not that good

Normally good here but last time they forgot a few things in my partners order and then again this time they forgot a few things. Really small portion of chips considering it was regular. The owner is so lovely and friendly but the people on the phone today weren’t friendly or helpful at all. Delivery was fast. Food was hot. Fish is always lovely. Hopefully be better next time as we don’t want to give up on them just yet and would love to change to 5 stars next time. Sorry just honest feedback guys.

Lovely cooked food, very efficient, just one of the best fish and chip shops in Kingsteignton/Newton abbot.

Great service. Good portions. Lovely cod

Always a good place to get decent fish and chips .Thank you guys .

Absolutely amazing chip shop, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Friendly atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble! 😊

Small portions of chips and not the best fish but reasonably priced and always friendly staff.

No food hygiene practiced here! As someone else has commented staff cleaning surfaces and then touching the food without washing hands. Gross

Great chippy. Nice thick cod, not split in half to give the illusion of a bigger fish like some places do, so the fish was delicious and was full of flavour! Staff also very friendly. Would definitely reccomend. Was worth traveling too.

So hungry, found this great little fish n chippy. Had sausage chips n curry sauce... The chips were excellent the curry sauce so sweet and the sausage was battered and tasted good. Great value for money great service well recommended

Best Fish and Chips in the area! The fish is sooooo good!!!

Basic chippy in Kingsteignton where you can pull up on the pavement to park whilst you get your food, sausage and chips were OK with a choice of mild or spicy curry sauce.

I’m a regular repeat customer and always pop in whenever I can for lunch or dinner, if whether I’m in the area or just got back from long distance travel. The Fountain is a 20 min drive from home, so by no means my closest chippy, but always worth travelling to. The chicken burger here beats any I have had anywhere, clearly freshly cooked and made from a whole battered chicken breast rather than reconstituted nastiness you get elsewhere and is the chief reason why I keep coming back. Portion sizes of chips (and cheese) are generous, hot and tasty. Gary and his team are always busy, but friendly enough (I don’t make a lot of chit chat either when I’m focussed on remembering a large order) Prices remain competitive, given how everything everywhere has gone up. Definitely worth it.

A few weeks ago at around 7.30pm I bought cod and chips and it was as I'd expected ,proper fish shop cooking and delicious. The two weeks later again around 7.30pm I bought Cod and chips again,however they must have thought I wasn't that hungry ,the fish was mostly batter and half the size and the chips I could count,all for the same price as I paid first time. I don't go there now,I'd rather drive into Newton and use Union Street chippy which are 100% better.

Food was not very tasty at all would not recommend 😕

Always amazing food from here, highly recommended 👍👍🍟🍟🐟🐟

Decent good, and friendly staff, opening times don't seem that long, but open when most people want a chippie i guess.

Great food , service good value for money 😋⭐

Always use this place for fish and chips even though we live in newton abbot and there are closer chippies Never had a complaint great fish and chips other menu items on occasions and always good

Best chippy around! They've got all with a smile... Top notch!

Sean makes the best chicken burgers ! Certified ! And is the best LB in Sunday league scoring worldies for fun 💪🏼

Amazing food best in the south west I travel from Exeter for these

Distinctly average. Taking as someone who used to work in a chippy, you need to scrape your fish before you fry guys, so the batter isn't too thick. The cod was like a Chinese chicken ball.

Order from them at least once a week always excellent never cold highly recommend best fish and chips in Newton abbot

Very dry fish and chips and soft and heavy batter .... Battered mars bar was adequate

Friendly efficent and the food is excellent

Fantastic service and excellent food

Great food pie and chips was perfect portion size

Always very friendly and does great food

Fab chippy. Chips were what you want from chippy chips, really nice cod and a lovely pie. Gravy and curry sauces were winners too.

Warm friendly place with great food and reasonably priced .

Always good and freshly cooked

I’ve never had a bad experience here, portion sizes are always pretty generous when ordering regular fish and chips and have tasted great. I have never been spoken too rudely by, or had any issues with the staff. They are always busy and I can imagine that it can be very stressful for them during busy times but they get on with it and always treat you with respect, and always apologise if there’s a waiting time ( which I don’t actually mind because you know that your order is going to be freshly made) . I found it strange to read a few negative and average reviews on trip advisor for the Fountain but all I can say is it is always busy with returning customers which speaks for itself! I’ve been going there for years now and will continue to.

Great fish and chips great deliveries polite and personal. Makes life so much easier as I'm disabled.

Excellent service, fab fish and chips 🙂

One of the best fish and chip shops around, great food and great service at an affordable price makes this a little gem to go to for a bite 😉

Nice food. Only issue was no one behind the counter was wearing any sort of face coverings. I counted 4 different people at one point behind the counter. Only ideal if you Pre order otherwise nowhere to park.

We have now had 3 deliveries over the last couple of months for cod and chips x two and find the service is great, always friendly and food arrives on time and always nice and hot. We glad we have this takeaway near us while we in lockdown and will definitely continue to use when we can get out and about. Thanks guys keep up the great work..

Fish and chips were very fresh and good to est

Basic fish and chip shop. Fish is good. Chips are a bit hit or miss and can be a bit soggy.

Very clean very friendly and good prices will go again for sure 👍

I have visited many times over last few months .It has been a difficult time during covid. and do what we can to comply with regulations .so very disappointed to see the girl serving mopping the floor then touching the bin and then proceeded to serve our food .my partner noticed this and being vulnerable himself is very hygiene conscious .so asked if she could wash her hands before serving our food .she sarcadtly used the sanitizer and said is that good enough for you. this is not good enough for a food place and the staff to behave .hygiene is top priority considering the pandemic at the moment .and should always be top .and treating my partner like his request was rude .we will never go back .such a shame the staff have not been correctly trained in hygiene or customer care .

Superb service, great food, highly recommended. I am staying at Finlake, they will deliver for only £4 which is a bargain imo, its by the cheapest meal we've had this week and one of the best. Great fish and chips, great pie and decent donar meat, together with good portions. Even a choice of curry sauce (mild or hot), and I tried my first battered Mars bar tonight (never really fancied it but after their recommendation I tried it) and loved it 👌

Quite pricey sadly. Food Nice enough

Ordered Pie and Large chips, I bought large chips to feed 2 of us was barely a medium chips. The pie had clearly been cooked then microwave just to warm it up a bit! Very over priced for not very good food!

Nice food. Bit of a wait but the staff were polite and working hard.

In my opinion, one of the best and original fish and chip shops around. Good value for money and equally delicious, the staff are all very polite and hard working people.... Pays dividends.

I’ve lived in kingsteignton for 7 years . Used this chippy many many times and never had a bad meal.. Shop is very clean and presented well . Staff are all friendly and helpful . Last week , may 2020, there was a large house fire close by and the fountain sent fish n chips to all the firefighters to keep them going . 5 star just for that.

Excellant fish and chips lovely hardworking friendly people..

Probably one of the best fish & chips And you must try the Irish curry sauce Thank you guys you do a grand job

Been going there for years. Fast service and good food.

Average food at expensive prices

Avoid this place at all costs!. Over priced greasy food!!. Worst I have ever had!!. Owner should be ashamed of himself!.

Always friendly staff and good quality choices

Not great fish and chips, also expensive.

Great staff and great food. Chicken is super tasty and the chips are delicious

Probably best fish & chips ever 😃

Absolutely terrible fish was like having a birds eye fish finger and still proper rancid.

Does an amazing deep fried mars bar

Friendly staff, freshly cooked food, good selection

Great service, quick service Excellent food

Rubbish service terrible rubbish food

Service was good, but for what we paid for meals the quailty and quantity was severely lacking! Very expensive for what you get

Always fast and good service. Foods great although parking can be a bit of a faff if there is a wait asides from that can't fault them

The chips were still a bit hard not cooked long enough.

12.50 for 2x battered sausage and sauce shocking and the chips was soggy and a weird texture.
